It shouldn't be banned, It looks terrible and I doubt many people will play it anyway.

Video games are incapable of inciting real life violence. People who go out and kill in cold blood don't do so because they played GTA and they would have done so regardless. It enrages me when games, films, TV ETC are blamed for real life violence because doing that creates a scapegoat. People who advocate the idea that games can be responsible for real life violence are pretty much absolving killers of blame. It's just ****ing dumb.

Yes If I have a Hard Day
I may put on PS4 GTA5
and kill all the Police
and go underground
to never ever get caught.


I am that good

My fault Ben - I called Rob Ben. It's an easy mistake to make; both words have 3 letters, they're both male names, and both have a letter 'B' at the beginning or the end, and both have a vowel in the middle........

................... OK then, I admit it -- I'm just a stupid twot.

Meh. Been playing InFamous Second Son recently... if you choose the "evil" path, you kill a ****tonne of "innocent people" for literally no reason at all. Your character isn't angry or hateful or anything. You just sometimes randomly fry passers by just because they happened to be there. Or they might get caught in the crossfire and be lying on the ground injured so you just sort of... kick them through the air so that they die. Simply because it's funny.

Plus, who HASN'T deliberately tried to drag a pedestrian under a car for as long as possible in GTA? Or deliberately starved / drowned an irritating "Sim"?

It's just a game. Psychopathic killers will be psychopathic killers without games. Normal people will not be turned into psychopaths BY games. There's not really much more to it than that... it's not "dangerous", it just offends some people, and that shouldn't be a reason to ban something. Je Suis Hatred.

To be honest the only outrage here should be at how laughably angsty the trailer (and main character) is. Was it written by a 12 year old after having their internet allowances cut off by their mum? It's like someone took an Alan Moore graphic novel and removed all of the style.

Surely it's supposed to be a joke?

I actually think the game looks kind of awesome . I mean, I wouldn't pay full whack for it or anything, but as a throwaway indie-style Ł9.99 weekend game I think it looks like a bit of daft fun

Synchronicity! - That is almost word for word what I was going to say!..........

.................Not really Shaun - too techy for me. Wish I understood half of it. (I know what a Gif is though)

This. You can't blame games/tv/movies for everything. People were killing other people in cold blood long before electricity was even invented.
