Ban books then and wolf creek, chopper etc. anyways gta5 is a dumbed down gta clearly a corporate takeover has happened and rockstar is now being controlled in a manner wich is harming the gta franchise. san andreas is much better fun game, gta5 is boring its like fun is not allowed, you cant even grab someone, gta 5 is a game with the gameplay reduced.
This guy has totally missed the point why GTA V was removed from shelves. But then again he does live in the epicentre of the problem.
Merrrduh
This guy takes this to surilisly.
seriusly, guilt ? omg where is this world going ? It's just a very fun sadistic and hillarious game to me
I wonder what that torture mission must be like.
I never feel a bit bad… its a game and no matter how real it is I know its still just a game.. no this video is useless
It's a game! Nuff said. I've played some of the most violent games out there: Gears Of War, Mortal Kombat, Call Of Duty… and I've never once imagined picking up a real assault rifle and shooting anyone. In fact, I can't even get into COD, being military, because it's unrealistic to be shot multiple times. Anyone who is so effected by shooting digital folks, they're tempted to reenact it in real life, doesn't need to be playing games. Period.
I did feel uncomfortable when i saw my little sister going on a cop murder spree in first person.
Really great video, and watching it I think has convinced me I don't need the PS4 version of GTA and will instead enjoy the PS3 one.
first person view do not change the fact that you control the character in the game. if you feel uncomfortable because you think it is too real and not able to tell the difference between real world and stimulation, you should never play violent game ever.
There's some serious tryhard going on here…. relax guy… it's just a game… you're not killing anyone you fucking pansy.
133 people are future serial killers
Games, are quite literally, all about the edge between the subjective and objective…
I want more The poiint
I never thought just the change in perspective could have such huge impact on how real it feels. Violence in GTA never felt anything serious to me, it always seemed comical. But somehow the same actions in First Person mode doesn't seem that way. Maybe the superior animation quality to it's predecessors is one of the reasons for that. Overall it just seems to be delivering a completely new type of experience.
The ambient music was in an alltime10s video serial killer that will give u nightmares
Wow, I was uncomfortable just WATCHING GTA V in first person just now. It really does give you a sense of remorse when you remove the character model. Skyrim, Bioshock, Dishonored; no problems hacking and blasting through the worlds (they are fantasy worlds though), but man… I'm just gonna go on bike rides and practice yoga in GTA V from now on! D:
I always act like i would in the games i play ex Mafia 2, GTA, Mass-effect . I hate when i have to kill them off when i don't want to.
I loved doing the firs person rampages, so fun!
sereiously, it's extremely satisfieng.
whats are the Domains for the emails for the people at gamespot anyone know?
Wow. Quite the interesting video!
The driving in gta 5 really annoys me, twitchy and oversensitive.
Pussy.
0;29 I'm guessing this is a cheeky little reference to Halo or just Sci-Fi in general.
it's cool
What does he mean by "causes us to censor ourselves"?
It would be intersting to play GTA V with VR, just to get the experience
can someone explain why the game Hatred received so much.. well Hate? Is it because players won't have a choice of doing good things in that game unlike GTA5?
imagine it in vr
I disagree while I have felt sorry for killing human players online slaughtering npcs in first person is hilarious lol
Nerf arena blast? Oh god
Danny does it again. Craking video.
People feel guilt?? That's really, really strange to me. I just feel like I'm fucking around, playing a video game.
so… now you feel guilt because you control a buch of code lines to triger and change the state of some data objects in a digital application… seems legit.
I agree though. Its because GTA V is so open and can bring you to feel so close to the game world, that it allows you to try things you would never actually do, and see how it makes you feel, its actually very interesting to have a game that can do that. Personally it does make me feel uncomfortable doing a lot of those things. its kinda hard to play for me.
I never had a problem playing GTA Vice City and GTA III though, they felt more cartoony and cheasey.
Maybe I'm just "soft", or like to immerse myself in the game to much. I don't know.
I'm not saying GTA is a bad game at all.
I think this is why "No Russian" was so disturbing and controversial, the first person shooting felt so realistic.
lol so i guess he didnt feel guilty before stabbing a maiming whores and pedestrians, in third but first person view is just too much now
I mean, the game does not just give you a gun or a melee weapon just for murdering other innocent people in cold blood. I feel like it's just the type of person who's playing the game because they choose to be a psychopath or not.
I've spent ALLOT of time trying to run over as many people as possible in die hard 3 in the taxi on the ps1 and going round in circles in gta4 around a fountain doing the same thing. No guilt here just amusement. It's a game and gta5 wasn't the first.
