The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Shylo Kujawski - who has Grand Theft Auto prominently tattooed on his back - was spotted acting suspiciously in a Vancouver suburb where several stolen cars had been reported.

just b/c he has GTA on his back doesnt mean it has anything to do with the game. now all these actavist's have some more fuel for there fire. great....just great

USMChardcharger6452d ago

yes it does, because until the game came out no one commited grand theft auto. it is all Rock Star's fault. the came up with the idea of stealing cars. this just proves it.

i am tired of video games getting blamed. they need to start looking at how these kids are being raised. it starts in the homes people.

Seriously it's about time we realized how terrible these games are and start fighting them. It's a known fact that the first murder ever committed happened in November 1972, the same time PONG was released. Coincidence? Open your eyes people.

What an idiot....tell me that's a photoshop pic, and this guy isn't stooooopid enough to get a videogame name tattooed on his back!

Going around since cars have been invented well maybe not that early like maybe when the cars were starting to get advanced like the 70'S and the 90'S.

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill5d ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk10d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast10d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk10d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac10d ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk10d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
