Grand Theft Auto isn't for the faint of heart, but the latest outrage seems conflicted and pointless

Business Insider's James Cook has an admirably even-handed report this morning with the details of the latest hoo-hah: you can now have first-person sex with prostitutes in Grand Theft Auto V, before—you guessed it—killing them to get your money back. In the past, your modesty was protected by a car door and the camera angle, but now players have full control over how they see the sex. And the murder afterwards.

yeah. It's a game. And yet, some like to make such fuss about it. I just don't get it.

joab7773477d ago

Um...I don't get it. We are now getting mad about a game that released last yr. Yeah, they added 1st person, but it never dawned on anyone what that experience would be like.

I am betting that Rockstar added 1st person for this very reason, to drum up controversy and sell another 5 million copies.

It doesn't make sense to me I guess. It's exactly what we all knew it would be. And only now it's an issue. It's GTA.

mrbojingles3477d ago

I don't think its a big deal though Rockstar should have put male prostitutes into it to allow the same thing as well.

Panzerkanzler3477d ago

Indeed, then the feminazis would have to work their angle a bit more. Now they get a free ride.

George Sears3477d ago

Free ride? 'Naa you still gots to give em that paper for a ride, ya dig?'

CaspuR3477d ago

lol is it the fact that you can have sex with them before you kill them the problem? Because i really dont see how this is an issue.Every npc is killable, idk why the media puts so much emphases on virtual hookers, when they dont give a damn about the real ones and the type of crap they probably go through...

sipale3477d ago

Well, I bought a virtual FP blowjob and hit the hooker with a hatchet afterwards. Good times, good times. Trevor approves.

i think the only real loss is GTAV

OtterX5d ago

I think everyone and their sister owns the game by now. They likely want to squeeze the rest of the holdouts before GTAVI releases.

Profchaos4d ago

That game comes and goes from subscriptions so frequently I think it's expected now. Like rdr2 on gamepass Rockstar Games only last a max of 3 months On a service

MrBaskerville4d ago

Talos Principle is the real loss.

BanginTunes4d ago

Facts that game is good as fuck I'm playing through 2 now, very underrated

Huey_My_D_Long5d ago

indivisible was pretty neat. Cute artstyle, fun throwback to older RPGs, shame its leaving but it is on sale often

shinoff21834d ago

Definitely. I e joyed what I played of it. Still gotta grab the physical at some point

Petebloodyonion5d ago

I'm not surprised by GTA V removal, Rockstar never allows this game to stay long on a subscription service.
They usually allow 4 to 6 months.

lodossrage5d ago

Yeah, they do that routinely with both GTA and Red Dead.

But it's because they know they can still sell them so they take them off and on to these sub services in cycle.

The weird thing to me is why is anyone still buying those games at this point? You would think after 3 generations of being sold GTA 5 that everyone and their momma would have it by now

RNTody4d ago

I fail to see how the loss of an almost 11 year old game that released across 3 generations is in any way a problem.
