Before GTA V: 10 Biggest 'WTF' Moments From GTA History

2. Dealing Drugs (Chinatown Wars)

Perhaps not a WTF 'moment' in itself, the drug dealing aspect of GTA Chinatown Wars was an entire mechanic made up of WTF's. For a franchise that has had constant historical flak for producing games that supposedly encourage its players to do very bad things, you'd think R* might maybe try toning it down once in a while. But no, they really won't. And that's why we love 'em.

Drug dealing in Chinatown Wars, perhaps worryingly, was insanely fun; buying coke here where it was cheap, transporting it there where it was expensive. It might seem like a relatively pointless in-game task from the outside, but when you get involved, as you watch your bankroll rise by the second, you can't help but feel a strange sense of achievement, of accomplishment. Is that what real drug dealers feel like?

The fact that Chinatown Wars' drug dealing mechanic makes me formalise that thought is indeed the WTf moment in itself. I.e: "WTF?! How did R* get away with this?!" Well, it's R*. They can pretty much get away with anything. Still, doesn't make the inclusion of drug dealing any less shocking, or any less fun either for that matter.
