GTA 5

I'm enjoying this a hundred times more on ps4 and I'm not quite sure why.

It looks better, the first person view is interesting but those aren't the main reasons.

I'm just finding it more entertaining and am far more sold on the game having three main characters which is something that really put me off on the ps3 version.

Really glad I didn't finish it now.

I 100% completed but playing back through it is still fun.

 

Though I did lose 3 hours and one heist this morning :angry:

 

since i've got it on PS4 I havent been online with yet.iv transferd my online character but im loving doing the story again.im 80% done and dont see me going online till im 100% done or the online heists drop

Getting 100% on GTA and any other sand box game that dots things around the map has always seemed like a chore to me.

 

Kind of lazy on Rockstars part, Red Dead had the right idea of what you need to finish a game don't just fill it with pointless collectables.

What can you do online on this game?  I haven't played GTA in a while.

 

Missions, survivals, team deathmatches, races, kill lapal_fan, boring pointless stuff like parachuting and golf, that hasn't really changed since the last generation but there is more choice of missions, surivals and so on.

 

Hopefully we might at last see online heists.

Grand Theft Auto 5 banned by Australian chain due to violence against women
 

The Australian retail chain Target has removed the controversial video game Grand Theft Auto V from sale in its stores.

In a statement on its website, the company claims to have made the decision following feedback from customers, “about the game’s depictions of violence against women”.

Explaining the move, which will affect Target Australia’s 300 stores around the country, general manager of corporate affairs, Jim Cooper, said, “We’ve been speaking to many customers over recent days about the game, and there is a significant level of concern about the game’s content.

“We’ve also had customer feedback in support of us selling the game, and we respect their perspective on the issue. However, we feel the decision to stop selling GTA5 is in line with the majority view of our customers.”

Set in the seedy city of Los Santos, a parody of modern Los Angeles, Grand Theft Auto V follows three violent criminals as they carry out a series of audacious heists. The story involves murder and torture, but although Target Australia’s concerns specifically mention violence against women, female characters barely figure in the narrative.

Players are, however, able to freely explore the city and engage in violence against any other inhabitants. In the past, the series has been criticised for allowing gamers to attack women, as well as have sex with prostitutes and then rob and kill them.

In her review of GTA V last year Carolyn Petit of news site Gamespot wrote, “GTA V has little room for women except to portray them as strippers, prostitutes, long-suffering wives, humorless girlfriends and goofy, new-age feminists we’re meant to laugh at.”

The game has, however, attracted almost unanimous critical acclaim, including three awards at this year’s video game Baftas. Originally released in September 2013 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles and recently remastered for the new Xbox One and Playstation 4 machines, it was past uncut by the Australian Classification board and given an R rating, which restricts the sale of the game to adults over 18. Target Australia stated that it will not withdraw other games or movies with the same certificate.

“While these products often contain imagery that some customers find offensive, in the vast majority of cases, we believe they are appropriate products for us to sell to adult customers,” said Cooper.

“However, in the case of GTA5, we have listened to the strong feedback from customers that this is not a product they want us to sell.”

 

Kmart has also pulled the game.

Australia is weird when it comes to games.   I presume all of this is still a hangover from the social assumption that video games are for children?   I know you guys didn't even have an 18 rating for games until about a year ago, last I heard was that it's still not really being used by anybody.  The question is why?
