10 Horrifically Illegal Things You Can Do In Rockstar's Games

2. Be A Terrorist

A free-roam game with planes, bombs and weapons will always draw some comparisons to real-life terrorist events. Set that game in a city that resembles New York and you're simply making it easier for people. Rockstar has always been criticised for 'encouraging' terrorism in their games (after all, you do play as some despicable humans who only seem to want to heap misery and death upon others). However Grand Theft Auto IV was written off by some as a 'terrorist simulator', simply because Liberty City is designed to resemble New York. Grand Theft Auto III also had content cut following the 9/11 tragedy; an entire story arc featuring a boss named Darkel was cut because of the terrorist nature of his missions (one involved driving an ice cream van around to attract pedestrians and then blowing it up). Has age changed Rockstar? Nope. Grand Theft Auto V's most controversial moment comes from the aforementioned mandatory torture scene, though this was more to highlight the U.S Government's treatment of terrorist suspects, rather than as a way to genuinely terrorise people. Of course, Rockstar's content could be completely innocent; it's the players and the community that will find ways to ruin it. A quick search through Google or YouTube will show you re-enactments of various events or people simply going on murder sprees for the sake of it. Again though, you could apply that to nearly every free-roam game these days; Rockstar pride themselves on offering up a black mirror that reflects peoples' darkest desires - but it's the gamer who has to take a look.
