GTA:V is definately a controversial game with live sex, full blown hardcore drug use, violence, drinking and tobacco use, provacative offensive language and prostitutes. Will you be mildly offended by anything in the game? Have you ever stopped to think ina  Rockstar title that they took it too far? I'm still buying it but many times I think there is a bit to much blood/gore, unnneccsary violence or illicit drug use it does offend me.

BUT, it won't keep me from buying it, I will just grimace a little when one of these illicit activities goes on. But I will still enjoy the game wholeheartedly. Does anyone else feel sometimes rockstar pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable?

I wouldn't say I'm offended by it, but the content seems to piss me off more and more with each iteration. That whole hiring gang members things just compounds the issue. That's why I'm buying it second hand.

I love free roam. Rockstar is good at it. But their morality, politics, and general scruples are the sucks. So I would rather not support them anymore.

the game include half nake girls, live sex, swearing after seconds etc. ofcourse i know what kind of audience of GTA5 will be. either teenagers or child minded. im mature minded and its not for me Original Mafia was better and was more mature and serious. and watch dogs will be better that his game.

Being "mature" sounds so boring.

All I can think is "A room full of dudes actually designed those models and spent a lot of time detailing something nobody ever saw" :? You literally have to glitch the game to see it

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"]the difference is GTA focus on sex and nudity. while metro doesnot and only have 30 second of sex scene. yeah it ruined metro atmosphere. that was dark and gritty. i mean look at Stalker. can anyone expect romance in Stalker?? LOL!!!

Nothing wrong with focusing on sex and nudity. We are animals who reproduce through sex, making it an integral part of our survival as a race. You're a prudish teenager. I don't understand how you can exist.

than put it in games like the sims and stay these elements away from my games. i dont like my games to ruined by love and romance when they suppose to be badass.

Being able to ride a motorbike up a cliff then jump off and parachute to the ground isn't badass? The what the fvck is?

not asking for violence,sex references or gore in a GTA game is like asking a FPS whit not guns.

You sound ridiculous. My life does not, and has never, revolved around sex. It's not integral to my life, and other people feel the same way.

Judging someone harshly for choosing to abstain from what you feel compelled to do--or simply be around--reflects poorly upon you and you alone.

So many games are loaded with every kind of murder and violence.  But a little nudity and sex and this time they've gone too far?

It doesn't offend me, but it does annoy me. I don't like it when sex, violence, and language are put into something just for the hell of it. The thug/gang angle of the GTA series definitely does a lot to deter me from the series. It's just annoying and, to a certain extent, embarrassing.

If you want to pass your genes onto the next generation, sex will mean a whole lot to you.
