Grand Theft Auto is the most appalling, disgusting, awful game to ever have been made. In this game you can do numerous terrible acts. You can steal cars, rob stores, pick up hookers, receive oral sex, mug people on the streets, do drugs, kill people whenever you want, you can even go to a strip club and get a lap dance and the woman strips naked for you and everything, to make it even worse when you are getting the lap dance it gives you the option to touch her in different ways!!! What is that all about?!? TERRIBLE AND DISGUSTING! I have never played this game before and never will play this game, but I have watched friends play it before. Under no circumstance would I ever allow my children to play this game as long as they lived in my household. The sad thing is, I know children play this. If kids play this consistently I believe it will simply just screw their minds up. Just think about how kids that are still learning about life, are going to process all this, all these things that are glorified in the game. How do you think young men are going to grow up to view women? As an object that they can pick up on the street, have sex with, then kill? Maybe do some drugs after that or rob a liquor store? All the sudden they think its okay to steal or do drugs, or maybe its okay to run from police or hit an innocent pedestrian, it becomes a "cool" thing to do in their minds. They do not always understand that it should stay in the game, even though I think it is just as appalling to do any of those acts in the game. Parents need to pay attention to what their children are playing, because games have stooped to horrendous levels. I want to go to the creators of this game and just ask, why? Why make this game? So, if any of you play it I am sorry for this post, but not really, I am sure you are lovely people, but this game is BS and SCREWED UP, but I guess that is what society has become. Glorifying sins all the day long.
I have to agree with you here. I can't understand why someone would make a game in which the player plays a bad guy. I'm okay with violence when the player is ultimately doing something good, but GTA seems to be nothing but role-playing for criminals.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'd have to agree as well. Now there are definitely some fun parts to the game seeing how far you can jump off a bridge with a car or trying to climb a roller coaster, as it's an open world with tons of possibilities. But yeah the whole idea of the game is horrible. I agree with you %100. But the thing is: it sells nonetheless. These types of games sadly aren't going to go away anytime soon I don't think. They might even get worse. Another reason why it's hard to make an argument against these games is that they've got ratings on them. They're rated M for a reason! In their defense it's not their fault if a kids' parents allow their children to play them. So I think a huge problem here is actually parenting.

ReplyDeleteI deleted my original comment, because I realized I'm a terrible writer and my comment was difficult to understand. I'ma try to type more understandably this time. So GTA... yeahhh it's definitely an intense game. I myself havn't played the new one, or most of them really, but I have played the first few, and a ton of San Andreas, and I think I understand what's happening here. First I'd like bounce off of Clints Comment and say that no one from any corner of the industry is saying kids should play this game, if kids are it's poor monitoring by the parents. The second thing and the thing I want to get at it, is what the game is talking about. I'm going to go out on a whim and say you guys didn't grow up a lower class inner city type of environment, but for those who did GTA is a game that take the humor (NOT THE BELIEVES) of the streets and amplifies them in to this dreamland universe. You made the mistake of taking the game to seriously, and didn't look at the game past the stripe clubs. It's a universe where you're as strong as the police, (GTA V) a game where one of the white characters you play is this ratchet trailer park bum, you can walk the streets with a pimp cane, and tote an RPG on top, I know the humor of the culture this is from doesn't reflect christian values, but to others, this cartoony dreamverse stuff is hilarious. I want to make it clear that I personaly don't condone everything in the game, or think the game is completely justified, but there is more to the conversation this game is having than just strip clubs, and robbery.
