I’ve never played, but is violence and sexism the whole point of the game?

I don't doubt I speak for a lot of players when I say that my sessions often end up with me holed up in a sniper's nest, firing a rocket launcher at any vehicle that happens to come along.

If nothing else, GTA is cathartic.

No zombies? I’ll pass.

Saints Row The Third (a very similar style of game, but more cartoonish and unrealistic) has an entire suburb full of zombies, if that's your bag.

How are you going to protect your homeys without violence and sexism? I haven’t got GTA V yet but GTA 4 and it’s add-ons were outstanding.

My son has GTA-5. The first mission a pair of brothers are calling each other nigga about every other sentence. A white guy uses the word then retracts it saying he’s not racist.

I drove around, stole a few cars and trashed one so bad the cops caught up and wasted me.
