Another time another friend of mine is playing that game and going around beating and stomping innocent bystanders to death, and he's giggling like a bloody moron while he's pointing and saying to me "Look! I got 'em good!", meanwhile I'm getting up to leave.
Oh, what joy.  |
You haven't seen many games then. There is no "brutal" murder in GTA. I hardly call a rocking car, with absolutely no sexual noises, a disgusting display of sexuality. I also don't think beating a horrible looking model, which bears only a slight resembelence to a human being, with a baseball bat, which either misses or completely goes through the victim, can be constituted as "brutal".
Then there's just the plain fact that GTA is so far from a realistic game that it's mind blowing!
Firstly the people look like dolls, secondly the gunplay is just horrible. It's so far from reality that it's less realistic than an episode of Bugs Bunny where Donald Duck shoots his bill off. Like when Sylvester ***** the hammer on the gun before pointing it at a worm. That doesn't even happen in GTA. You see a flashing light, you run over it, you hold down a trigger. Is that teaching a kid how to use a gun? Which one is a more realistic simulation?
Any kid who plays GTA and relates it to real life has mental issues. There's no other way around it. They were either subjected to some form of abuse, or have a severely unhinged mind.
The only reason GTA gets so much abused is because of the popularity of it. God of War is
faaaar more violent and realistic than GTA, yet I've never heard God of War mentioned
ever. God of War contants countless scenes of graphic beheadings, spilled organs, nudity, and even a sex mini-game,
with sound effects mind you.
It angers me beyond words when people uneducated in this medium come in and throw sh*t around like it means something. We have these games because they're fun. The good ones anyways. People seem to have this pre-conceived notion that anything graphically violent is automatically eaten up by us "gamers". Anyone ever heard of the game Manhunt? Yeah, piece of complete sh*t. One of the most violent games ever made, but
no one cares!
A game isn't good because it's violent, but sometimes violence adds to the overall tone and theme of the game. You've got movies like Hostel coming out, which depict some of the most ridiculous and disgusting things anyone has ever seem, but these pieces of sh*t get acclaim for being the most disturbing.
Meanwhile, we have this game, where everything looks like a god damn cartoon, getting ass rammed because some high up f*ck nuts like Hilary Clinton are trying to further their political career.
It just furthers the ridiculous claim that people who play games are disguting freaks with twisted minds and an appetite for blood and gore. Not only is it completely and utterly
wrong, but it's f*cking insulting.
