Additionally, this also indicates that if you want to buy the game digitally, you'll be doing so at a significant markup over retail prices - which is really unfortunate. Digital games should be universally cheaper than physical versions because, with a digital game, technically you don't "own" the game but own a license to it, and even though Steam allegedly has safeguards in place to prevent people losing those games if Valve ever goes under, this is still a looser definition of ownership than having a physical copy.
Additionally, cheaper digital games would promote a more environmentally friendly approach, as that would mean fewer cases and discs becoming waste.
Now, in retail, things look a whole lot different. Not as a temporary discount, but permanently. The fact that GTA 5 retained full retail price for over 4 years is a feat on its own, so it was about time for this price-reduction to roll around. So, now that we have pricing down, is buying this version worth it? The retail version is a pretty decent deal, though we wouldn't call it a "must buy". If GTA 4 got one persistent complaint from players, it's that it was too grounded and not silly enough.
Compared to San Andreas, with its fighter jets, alien Easter eggs and ability to eat burgers until your character can no longer run as quickly, GTA 4 was super serious — but The Ballad of Gay Tony took that same world and cut loose, both in its low-stakes story about its hapless titular nightclub owner and its level design. One of the early missions in the game puts you on a moving train with an automatic shotgun, as you bring down a whole fleet of helicopters. It escalates from there, and gives you a bigger and better arsenal than the main game ever did, paving the way for GTA 5's return to daft large-scale antics.
GTA 4 and its two DLCs form one essential complete experience — with some neat crossover in their storytelling. GTA 3 is the game in the series that left the biggest impact when it was first released. For one, you play as a silent protagonist, Claude Speed, and the story acts more of an excuse to blow stuff up as opposed to adding any meaningful commentary.
Still, GTA 3 set the bar for open-world titles, and its chaotic sandbox would go on to inspire similarly silly games like the Saints Row series.
Players took on the role of Carl Johnson, freshly returned to San Andreas from an extended stay in Liberty City, only to find the neighborhood he grew up in reduced to turmoil and gang violence. San Andreas is still iconic to this day for a number of reasons. Vice City represented a huge shift for the Grand Theft Auto series, offering more freedom, interactive activities and violence than we had seen before - which also made it extremely controversial at the time.
GTA 5 almost made it to our number one spot, but was just narrowly beaten out. GTA Online has essentially become its own entity, offering players the chance to explore Los Santos with friends - turning the fictional city into a virtual playground of chaos.
Claiming our number one spot is GTA 4. Following Eastern European war veteran Niko, GTA 4 arguably has one of the most human stories of the series as Niko tries to shake his past in an effort to move on with his life. Since the missions which are told in the cut scenes are repeated in the menu, skipping these cut scenes shouldn't interfere with their play through of the game.
So in whole, as long as your child is mature enough to skip the cut scenes and know that the game isn't real life, then I don't think you should have any concerns about giving it to anyone over thirteen, since the language isn't any different and probably less frequent than what they would hear at school. This review Helped me decide Had useful details Read my mind Report this review. Adult Written by Miami February 17, Same with most of the cussing, drugs, and alcohol.
If your kid won't go to school and tell everyone "Hey I play Gta 5! And if they don't go to bed with nightmares. Places like the strip club, players are never required to go there, not even for a side mission, so trust your child. And think, if you were a kid maybe and your cusions or parents played it… wouldn't you want up play it? As long as your child can handle it it's perfectly fine for them to play it.
Here's what I did with my kids who have been asking me ever sense u got the game for myself, I made a list of all the bad things in Gta 5, and sat down with each of my boys septetly. I asked them to put a check next to something that they would be fine with. If they have over half the checkmarks filled, then I would talk to them about any concerns I had or they had and if they still wanna play it, then if they seem ok with it let them do the first 2 or 3 missions with you watching them, then talk with them again.
If there ok… it's fine if they play Gta 5 And don't forget to tell them to keep quite about them being able to play it with people like teachers, grandmas, priests, ect. This title contains: Ease of Play. Helped me decide 9. Had useful details 5.
Parent Written by SteamPipe September 23, In both games, yes, it is possible kill civilians, but GTA V gives the players NO incentive whatsoever, and in fact rewards you for helping civilians - for example, random crimes can occur around the stunning city of Los Santos, and if you stumble upon one of these, and successfully stop it , the player's reputation is boosted.
In essence, the 'bad bits' of Just Cause 2 are there - e. As I mentioned before, the violence is unrewarded, and the true fun in the game comes from discovering and exploring the amazing city, climbing mountains, riding bikes, parachuting, buying shares in the stock market, flying planes and so much more.
In the upcoming GTA Online players can play together in an online version of Los Santos, exploring the city together and playing the built-in games like tennis or golf, competing to beat the other. You can invite others to your own apartment, and then grab an expensive car from your garage and do anything!
This title contains: Positive Messages. Positive role models. Helped me decide 5. Had useful details 6. Parent of a 12 and year-old Written by StrictMum48 October 27, Lovely and beautiful game! So long as you trust your child Grand Theft Auto V is an amazing and abstract game, full of beautiful scenery and things to do. My child is 12 and has been wanting this game for quite a while now.
Ever since the trailer came out in fact. After a while we went through it and watched gameplay, trailers and everything. I am usually a very strict mother and would say no to an R rated game but this is an exception. Sure, it has some swearing but you can choose to skip it as it is mainly in cutscenes.
The violence isn't bad at all and you can hardly see blood and there is no guts or bones etc. The thing that I was skeptical about was strip clubs. After watching "Youtubers" play it I was waiting for a strip club scene or nudity scene to pop up but to my surprise I discovered that it is an optional activity and has nothing to do with the main storyline or side quests, so in my opinion so long as you trust your child or have a guardian watching you play it it is completely fine.
Another issue was drugs which I found were optional as well. There are no missions that force you into drugs or anything else. I remember my niece playing worse games than this when he was 9 Mortal Kombat, Duke Nukem etc.
Also it is rated M in America and most other countries and has one bad 'torture scene' that is skippable. In conclusion I think it is fine for anyone 12 and up if you trust them. Helped me decide 6. Had useful details 3. Read my mind 6. It is not as bad as you think First off yes, there is all the violence, sex and swearing and i was sure that i was not letting my thirteen year old son get the game with grand theft auto's bad reputation for pushing the boundaries with their games but my son was set on getting this game and would try to convince me that grand theft auto was not as bad as everyone says it is and finally after watching gameplay of it and researching it I finally got the game for him but I told him that if i got it for him I would have to watch the first mission with him playing it and i didn't see any problems and whenever i see him play it he is never doing something he isn't supposed to.
With the violence there is just shots and when shot a bit of blood would splatter nothing more than call of duty has but there is a torture seen which cannot be skipped but there is not that much blood in the scene.
This is really no problem if your son knows the right from wrong and the reality to the virtual world. In the violence there is nothing a thirteen year old could not handle. There is sex and nudity but this is completely optional.
There are strip clubs which you don't have to go into and the strip club is worthless and it does not give you any points it is basically just a waste of time. There are prostitutes in the game and they walk up and down the street and you can collect them but this is also completely optional. As for the swearing, there is a lot of it but there is nothing more than what you would get in an average school that a thirteen year old would be attending.
Most of the inappropriate content is in the single player but whenever i see my son playing it he is always in online doing races or just having fun.
So the violence is nothing more than what you would see in a fifteens movie or even a twelves movie. And the sex and nudity is completely optional and the swearing is nothing more than what you would here at school.
