9. R* Are Ballsy
Many times throughout my contact with R* as a consumer Ive been left thinking jesus, these guys have got some stones for producing this. Lets take their most controversial title: Manhunt. Now, Id like to consider myself pretty liberal, especially in relation to entertainment. But even I struggled to sit comfortably when I played Manhunt. Rockstar, as an organisation, are brave. They push the boundaries of whats acceptable and produce games that are way out there in virgin territory and others inevitably follow (case in point: Saints Row). Now Im not expecting GTA V to be as horrific in content as Manhunt, but suffice to say, R* have the balls to have not bent to societal pressure to tone it down. When we play GTA V, itll be just as violent, just as foul-mouthed and just as outrageous as it ever was. And the many concerned parties arent goin to like that one bit.
