I don't see how this isn't utterly evil. I don't think people should be banned from playing or purchasing games like this, but that doesn't mean they aren't destroying society. It angers me how much people tolerate violence now.
It is utterly evil. The game never claims that it isn't.

The guy committing the torture, Trevor, is a complete psychopath. You're not meant to enjoy the sequence. The whole mission is a commentary on the process of using torture to extract information, how its doesn't work, and why it is reprehensible. It exists purely to give people in power a sense of control over others. Mr K, the victim, is an anti-torture martyr, exposing to the world why it is wrong.

If someone doesn't feel at least somewhat uncomfortable playing that scene, I'd honestly be more concerned about them than I am about the game. It takes a lot of detachment not to be phased at least a little by that whole sequence. I had to keep covering my eyes through most of it.

Oh yeah, the game is pretty amazing too. One of the best that I have played in years.

Favorite vehicle? Weapon? Location? Mission?
Discussion, plz.

Favorite weapon is definitely the gas can, although I wish there were still Molotov cocktails to throw and watch everything spread into a giant ball of fire. Oh yeah, and a dubstep gun would've been awesome, too.

As for vehicles, I tend to like the Phoenix ('80s Camaro) or the one that looks like a Dodge Challenger with new Camaro taillights.

Would it be totally creepy to you guys if I played as a woman on GTA Online? I mean I'm not trying to draw in the 12-year-old boys that will no doubt be playing, I'd just rather look at a woman's ass than a man's.

When I played Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, there were a lot of cool cheats to get things like flying cars and rocket launchers - living an antisocial lifestyle in a virtual world sure is pretty ghetto-gangster!

By a show of hands, who thinks playing this scene was more disturbing than the torture scene?

So I'm waiting for a GTA Online server to become available.

I created a female character that doesn't talk. I should've named her Claudette.

The girl I created for the online mode is nowhere as hot as I hoped to create. I have limited options for Claudette's features. And I can't even choose to make her a zombie. Rockstar needs to overhaul the whole system.

I just created a random dude and named him FistrRoboto. Damn character limits.

I'm ready to roll.

For anyone who wants to play together - jontherobot is my Live gamertag.

Is there a way to change the gamer tag username? I want to change it before I add you because it's really embarrassing.

And no, i'm not normally a multiplayer guy, so yes, I feel I wasted $60 to play a broken game.

You know the funny thing about Claudette is that she's a mute like Claude but her lips constantly move. Why?
