kesta195 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) So pretty much each GTA has been especially controversial for one thing, as well as the usual gun violence and car theft. San Andreas was almost banned for the Hot Coffee files, despite the fact they were only accessible through mods. GTAIV turned some heads for it's drunk driving feature. Personally I think the ability to use drugs, especially meth (Trevor) but also weed (previews mentioned Franklin leaving a 'herbal remedies store' in Vespucci Beach in the demo) will the the next major controversy for the series. Saints Row 2 allowed you to get high from weed and no one really kicked up a fuss about it but meth is a harsh f*cking drug, up there with heroin. Do you think R* will allow us to use crystal meth at our leisure, and if so how do you think it will affect gameplay? And also, how much controversy do you think this will attract.

Jordan_Philip Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Drug controversy is so 1990s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitValid Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Meth is far worse than coke. Please edit with better comparisons. Do you think a mini game will include Trevor tie-ing off? If so, then there may be a problem. Otherwise it's no difference. As long as the character is distasteful and not glorified for his drug use then it's all good in the hood.

kesta195 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Drug controversy is so 1990s Haha true, but it is still uncharted territory in mainstream games for the most part, and R* like to 'pioneer' the no-go areas in games, so it seems quite likely to me.

S5L3T0 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 meth > heroin > pot > coke How old are you?? Please, don't comment on subjects you know nothing about. That's how ignorance spreads. I agree with whitvalid, as long as he isn't glorified in his twacked out state, I don't think anyone will care. I don't think he'll shoot it up either, he probably snorts or smokes it.

r0eladn Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I cant see any way in which R* can make drug use influence how you see things while playing. It cant get much more interesting than how you were drunk in IV. So i dont think its gonna be a big part of the game, at least not using it yourself, maybe it plays part as selling/dealing etc. So no controversy. DAMN we need new stuff.

Hallucinogens could be pretty fun, but neither meth nor weed are hallucinogens so who knows. Could just slow down time a touch and blur the screen slightly. And come on guys, coke isn't half as bad as it's made out but it most definitely is not softer than weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitValid Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 They can also get away with multiple drug references / missions in the game if they attempt to show the unbecoming realities of drug abuse. They did this in IV with that rich kid addict that you meet on the streets. I do believe there will be a few characters in this game that may persuade you not to become a heroin junkie. If you were on the fence about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way hallucinagens would be fun is if people responded to you differently/had dragon heads while you were using them. Blurring the screen or slowing things down is no fun for the gamer, it's just an irritant. S5L3T0: You have something against water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KorinC Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 1. I have adult reading level. 2. If you gonna put tobacco before crack/meth or heroin or even pot than your order is irrelevant. 3. What the f*ck was those drugs in 21 Jump Street anyways? 4. Please don't use a smilie like that, I don't get it you and I've seen your posts about police women officers, gtfo sexist punk.

AJayG Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 there was a game on the ps2 which had like drug use and stuff you were like an undercover cop and could use the stuff yourself from taking em or buying off street dealers like weed made you screen go fuzzy and stuff lsd made you see people with massive heads and hullicinations . think it was called narc or something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlqwvHqb0Og Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drug is fictional, appropriately named Holy F*cking Sh*t, or HFS for short @omer19992010 It annoys me that Far Cry 3 can get away with animal slaughter no problem but as soon as GTAV comes out it will probably be hit with some controversy in that department. These politicians and such really don't have a clue about the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn 7 five 11 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I thought drinking in IV was horrible, the blurry screen just made me annoyed and a little bit Woozie, it was pretty hilarious once when Niko ran into a door with his girlfriend and continued to sprint at it for 5-10 seconds before falling over, but other than that one instance, it was annoying. Unless they can do something stupid like turn everything into a Mario-Like land and the protagonist is the plumber hopping across pipes and avoiding Koopa's it would be a bit of fun, Koopa's can be cars or something, and cops are the little things that shuffle sideways haha. But that would take a lot of time and effort, I feel would be better spent on something that isn't going to be deemed as teaching children that "Drugs are fun".
