Well being from Austin Texas you have your bad areas and good just like any city for the most part people are very freindly here now LA which Los Santos represents I cant say cause I have never been there and now GTA5 can be very disturbing the character Trevor is a very very creepy dude this guy is a sosisapath just freaking crazy!! And what makes him so scary is that he very very smart and very unpredictable and a physco im not going into details but in my playthrough so far this guy is morbid but a very very good character in the story but one thing I can say about this GTA the missions are very well thought out and ties to a story that would make a good book.
GTA V inciting violence or reflecting ours?

Still don't own it...
I did however play round a friend's house tonight and welll... It's GTA..
It's good fun. It's what you expect from a GTA game. There's nothing innovative about how the game plays. The tech behind it though is very impressive. To get a game looking that good and running smooth (most of the time) is pretty incredible.
I spent most of the time punching people in the street shouting 'World Star hip hop BITCH!' because apparently that's what you americans do now. You fight each other and then record it.
Serious note: America's a big place and with a huge variation of people both good and bad. The part that scares me is how medieval that country has seemed to of become. People there have become vicious or that's what youtube and the news would have you believe. I'm sure you guys can safely leave the house and pick up your groceries without too much bother but still... I mean we have trouble and fights over here but 'World Star Hip Hop' is becoming a 'thing'. If people are chanting your companies name whilst inciting violence and it's universally accepted amongst an increasingly aggressive youth. It scares me a tad but then I don't live there so by all means, prove me wrong. I'm not trying to generalise America in any shape, way or form. I'm just commenting on what seems to be an increasingly popular trend.
That moves me on to my next point. People seem to be offended by GTA V. I can see why and I certainly don't begrudge them their opinion. I do think however at what point is you smacking a woman in the street, mowing down her nan, then running over her husband any less offensive than a certain cutscene, where you don't do any of the actions? Just a thought because you can do the former in a lot of games. I think Rockstar went on the offensive on this one, on purpose, not to shock people but to make them uncomfortable. They've basically shone a mirror on America and went 'This is modern society, do you like what you see?'.
