10 Awkward Video Game Moments That Made You Feel Like A Total Creep

10. Making Use Of A Hooker's "Services" In GTA

The idea that Grand Theft Auto encourages you to have sex with hookers and then brutally murder them has haunted parents and politicians for years, even though the whole scenario is something gamers have to optionally orchestrate themselves.

But the feverish paranoia around the infamous feature has meant that now every GTA player has taken part in this dastardly deed themselves, just to see how it actually plays out. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy that has resulted in every player rolling up to one of the many prostitutes in GTA, watching uncomfortably as they engage in soulless polygonal sex in a car and then driving off knowledgable to the fact that they've just lived out Fox News' biggest nightmare.

But while the process is pretty quick and painless, it ends up feeling much creepier than it should purely because the trademark GTA humour is missing from the experience.

Especially in the fourth and fifth games, it feels as though Rockstar only include the feature because of its legacy in the series, and thus picking up a hooker ends up being nothing more than a creepy, depressing experience.

I suppose in that sense, GTA succeeded in its march towards some semblance of realism.
