I have in my many years of gaming, likley killed millions of lifeforms, humans being in the tens of thousands if not higher.
I've played every other GTA game till now and i've loved them.
I just got San Andreas.....
In all the other games, they've steadily slid towards more realism in the protagonist and in the game. Now, we have a protagonist who seems *VERY* real.
He is also, not a very nice person. He is a hired killer, arguments of the morality of his actions are moot, he robs a convenience store on the third mission for no reason other then money.
The game tries to play off the protagonist as a compelling, moral character whose actions are justified, even though they are not.
Vice City made *NO* attempt to make the protagonist seem like a moral individual. You were involved in the drug trade and completley immoral, the game did not in any way try to make the bad actions seem okay. You did very bad things and it made it clear you were a VERY bad person.
In San Andreas, they try to make the protagonists extremley immoral actions seem moral, and I have to admit though they fail, they make a valliant effort. They make attempts to make him seem like a good guy in his actions with his gang.
This will and does effect impressionable children-I felt almost a gag reflex at times, it really is not nice.
I know its far, far too late considering how long this game has been out but violence and sex aside, I wouldn't let anyone 14 or under get their hands on this game.
