Well, based of the height that the wanted posters where mounted... I would say they are marketing to infants being carried by their mothers. Since this would be the eye level for a child of that age (while being carried of course).

Basically it encourages children about 6 months and younger to sell drugs and prostitute women.

Oh, btw... read my new book called "The Cult of Perfection Make Peace With Your Inner Overachiever"!

Thanks, Cooper Lawrence

You, sir, are astonishingly reasonable.

True, Jack and Cooper will do the rest of the job!

lol +1

You should report him.

But I suppose it isn't a fair thing to make assumptions of a game based on the trailers. Though everyone else makes their final judgements in this manner before the game is even released, even professional reviewers.

I suppose I'll wait till it's out to make a final decision. Who knows they could have done something amazing, you know other than adding one new vehicle class or "Pimp My Ride" game additions.

I can see the bullet points now for Grand Theft Auto IV.
- Now with submarines!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that new and exciting!!!!!!!!!! Please don't cry.....

Oh and just so we're clear here. My senseless hatred for all things GTA is because how critics, reviewers and gamers alike find this game to be so innovating, original or simply God's gift to gaming when it so clearly is a run-of-the-mill sandbox game with a very "attractive" attitude and story. To top it off when a game does come around that adds something fresh or new to gaming it is shunned or criticised for what it isn't and not viewed for what it is.

Of on another rant here...

Problem I find with most sandbox games (for me atleast) is even when they feature a fantastic cast, score and story they give one so much initial "freedom"*** one starts out doing a few "missions" here and there only to stray more and more off into doing random shit throughout the world. Sure this is fantastic fun, but it doesn't last and by the time the luster of roaming the streets wears off one has no motivation to get back into the story and ultimately misses a great portion of the game and possibly one of it's strongest assets. Then again if this game does indeed feature online/offline co-op the insane social gamer in me will be forced to atleast rent this game. I love gaming with friends or online buddies so much so that it really doesn't matter what game we are playing, even a sports game (which I despise).


*** = This freedom I speak of isn't true freedom. The illusion of freedom in a game is done by limiting ones actions to the most mundane/tried-and-true gaming elements. Much like how OSX is so "feature rich", "easy to use" or doesn't get infected. They limit your options and focus your view to a narrow field and basically glamorize it. One can't get a virus on an operating system if one doesn't have true or ultimate control over said system. Don't get me wrong this is great for the "average" or "below average dumb redneck" user. Eh this is why I disliked Vista and also why I initially didn't like XP until I figured out to remove all the "retarded user" features and failsafes.

Well I best get going, got an interview at the biomedical research center I work at for a higher position up in the "helpdesk" as they call it. Have fun talking about your GTA you giddy schoolgirls you (read in an affectionate tone, cause I love you guys and I'm not being sarcastic.)
