  1. that royaly pisses me off when people take the easy way out and blame a game ( or in this case the advertising for a game such as gta) for shootings rather than own up to the fact that they dont know how to control their kids and allowed them to grow up in a gang. i know when i have kids eventually that if i saw them hanging around with those people then i'd grab him and move somewhere else or move him to a different school away from that kind of situation. the parents must know they own guns and do drugs n stuff so its their own fault on that. and its not what kids see its the kids backgrounds and mental state, if a kid shoots a guy on gta that doesnt mean they'd ever kill someone in real life.. it takes a truly messed up person to try to repeat something they saw in a game.

    but in saying that movies nowadays are 10000x worse than gta ever was!.. movies like hostel, saw .. which are just disgusting and not watchable but they bring in revenew , enough to make several sequals. why dont they ban that movie? or try tone it down? theres violence in almost all movies on the market and what do you do? if you dont want your kids seeing it then dont buy them the ticket, dont buy them the game. its 18 for a reason, adults who buy it are more responsible because at the end of the day the game is made for adults not children, if parents complain about their kids seeing that then they shouldnt buy the game or try to stop the game coming out. im not saying that peope under 18 shouldnt play gta.. i've been playing it since i was like 13 or something and i'm fine.. the fact i still hate watching hostel or saw or those kinda groosome movies proves that.

    games can easily put into the spotlight because some retarded kids that have shot someone blamed it on them, but its much more than games its more than people realise. its easy to have a baby but its hard to be a parent. death and violence is more dominant in run down areas for a reason, get off your lazy goddam fat ass and get a job so you can move out of the shit whole and stop blaming it on games ruining it for everyone else. its already being censored in australia and ( was it new zealand? ) if they censor it for uk or america because of that then i will be pissed off

    Absolutely spot on.

    Also, take a look at the actual advertisments.

    There is nothing that says what GTA IV actually is. There's just pictures of guys standing infront of a police line up screen. And the woman sucking a lollypop... well there's more provocative advertising used for perfumes and clothing than that billboard.

    The fact is, for the adverts to have any "influence" on kids, kids would have to know what the game is in the first place. And if they know what the game is in the first place, the advertising comes AFTER their existing knowledge.

    This is just government trying to control everyone and everything.

  2. I just love the fact that EA actually thought that Take-two would sell their business, and hence one of the biggest games EVER!!!

    :clapping: Gotta luv em for trying!!! :clapping:

    Can't blame them for trying, GTAIV is estimated to sell 100 million copies, priced at 60$ each, making about 4 billion dollars (after taxes, production costs, covering salaries of those who worked on it for 4-5 years and taxes and other stuff).

    You can't blame them,

    but EA were offering them $2billion. If what you say about $4billion dollars is right (if that's $4billion AFTER expenditures/tax etc, that's amazin!!), then they offered 50% of the earning potential for just ONE of their games!!

    Not a chance they'd sell.

    Also, the interviews sound wicked. They sound like it's just such a fun game to play and the level of detail they described is just awsome.

    ROLE ON 29TH APRIL!!

    Best £40 i ever spent!! :thumbsup:
