I really dont know what to say anymore. It's been how many years now?.. And [people] still attack GTA far more above all other games. It's getting really old, and frankly, it's starting to tick me off.
As for the hot coffee mod, yea, they were wrong to actually code that in there, that is something I won't argue too much about. All I can say is it was locked, and the game was *never meant for young kids* -- Read that again, make sure it sticks this time.
Nobody can seem to shut their holes about how violent it is... how you can beat women, kill cops, steal cars, and have relations with prostitutes... you could also beat men and shoot only paramedics... or you could just run in a circle all day doing nothing. It's not like the game *makes* you do these things, so stop trying to find more petty excuses to ban the title. If you dislike it that much, don't buy it, don't play it, and don't do either for your 10yr old son whom you complain is being [wrongfully misguided] due to this game. If you're going to make such a big deal of this then try and not forget whats on prime time TV is just as bad if not worse than what you see in this game, and kids are watching that all the time (not to mention HBO and Cinemax, but no one complains about that anymore; I guess videogames have become the new fodder and scapegoat for bad parenting and mental disorders). As for the hookers? Yea... I really get off hearing voices and watching a squeeky car make squeeky noises... can't get more pornographic than that! It's just another violent game, the only reason people bash it, is for it's "free-roaming","free-targeting" aspects coupled with a mature plot and decent to par skins and character model designs.
People need to stop complaining about this game [exposing] young kids to [questionable] content, and claiming it to be too [impressionable]. I don't see Mario on the label, do you? So I don't think, and call me crazy, that this game was ever meant for that young of an audience. If young kids being exposed to this is a problem, the problem isn't the game, morons. Where and how are these [kids] getting ahold and playing the game? I would think parents to be a bit more responsible here... If your kid wants something, first thing I'd do is at least check it out first, before buying it >_< . Maybe that's a bit too logical for the average person.
If you feel that playing this game will really make you go nuts and shoot cops, and beat women and steal cars... If you really think it will change your demeanor in life... then I think you've got a bigger problem than just the game.
