2. Enjoying Mowing Down Thousands Of People In GTA
When you think about it, killing scores of pedestrians in GTA shouldn't be fun. There's no bonus for doing it, nothing gameplay-wise that makes it stand out as a particularly enjoyable thing to do, or even across all the games in the series there's never been a mission or task centred around mowing through hapless groups at all - instead it's something that's become synonymous with the series purely because of our experimentation with the game engine itself. You could say the same about the prostitutes too, as there's always room for a spectacular backfire whenever some accusatory nasal-voiced news anchor is attempting to proclaim GTA as 'the game where you kill hookers!' only for anyone with a brainstem to go "Actually, that's optional, you did that yourself." Back to the people-mowing though, and Rockstar have attempted various things to get you to stop, from advanced physics destroying your car and potentially sending you careening off to the side after a while, to a completely omniscient police force who'll drop a two-star wanted level on you even if they're nowhere near the crime scene. Is that going to stop you though? Of course not, you're probably still envisioning doing it as soon as you get home, and once more before bedtime.
