GTA: 9 Reasons Living There Would Suck

By Joseph Dempsey /

There's quite a few places we'd imagine would be a difficult place to live, such as the county of Midsomer, where there's an alarming spate of deaths and murders, and also Tamriel, setting of Skyrim, where a weary traveller can be gobbled up by a giant spider in the wilderness or burnt to a crisp by the fiery breath of a dragon. But those two fictitious worlds pale into comparison to that of Grand Theft Auto, a world where crime is ever present and morals often go missing.

Here, we put ourselves in the shoes of the inhabitants of the happily fictitious world of Grand Theft Auto, and detail just why living there would absolutely suck. Click "Next" to begin.
