The general consensus is that GTA V is a pretty awesome game. Actually its better than awesome, its awe-inspiring, breath taking and every bit the spectacular we were promised. But not everybody shares in the adulation; the usual suspects in the right wing media have lived up to form and labeled GTA V as the game that will bring down civilization, as we know it. If its reports about people being stabbed for their copy during the midnight launch or Nick Clegg (UKs much loved Deputy Prime Minister) using his weekly radio show to say games like GTA V have a corrosive effect on society; you can be sure that the people who make these types of comments have completely missed the point of the game. Nevertheless, it is still fun to find stuff in the game that tickles your suppressed juvenile tendencies. We all need an outlet, for some that is a nice warm soak in the bath and for others it involves steeling a car and driving it off a cliff. But whatever happens, each camp is not going to shift their opinion and will label the other as either potential serial killers in the making, or bandwagon jumping banaholics. Either way, it wont do sales of the game any harm. So in celebration of the furor, here are 10 things in GTA V that are loads of fun but will upset those who believe they belong to the moral majority.
10. Drugs Can Be Fun
If there is a topic that will get the newspapers wagging their fingers, its drugs. People who admit that they enjoy the occasion smoke, they run the risk of being labeled the lowest of the low in society. That is why we are unable to have a proper debate around the prohibition of drugs and if there might be a better way than an all out ban. In any case, that hasnt stopped Rockstar from including the option to smoke weed and watch TV in the same way billions of people do in real life, across the globe. In Franklins front room, sit down on the couch, light up and let the magic happen. But for a more trippy experience, a highlight has to be when Michael inadvertently smokes a variant that is stronger than he thought and he enters a world where he a lone crusader fighting against a horde of invading aliens. Undoubtedly the biggest panty wetting moment for GTA5 haters will be Michaels son spiking his drink while hes driving and then proceeding to steel his car. But making comparisons with real life is ridiculous and drugs are part of society as much as alcohol and cigarettes; Rockstar isnt glamorizing drugs, its showing people that as with everything in life, you have positive experiences and negative experiences; burying your head in the sand is not the answer.
