Sounds like this guy had problems before he played the game. Even with all the hours I put into GTA, it never crosses my mind that I should go get myself arrested.

i went clothes shopping today. i blame gta.

i tried to pull out a gun and rob the place but i wasn't allowed to.

Ninte3858d ago

He's a loony so he needs to be put away so stop bringing a game into every article that talkes about these stupid idiots who goes into a rampage or takes a car or truck for this matter.

Anon19743858d ago

The problem is in this case, the guy himself brought the game into it. It's not the media jumping to conclusions this time, the man flat out told police he wanted to see what it was really like to play Grand Theft Auto in real life.

Don't get me wrong. I think the media jumps to conclusions all the time when linking video games and crime, but in this case it's the criminal himself linking his crime to the game. I don't believe for a second that violent video games are responsible for real life violence, but if the guy claimed "The Lion King made me do it," you can be damn sure the media would be running that as their story as ridiculous as it sounds. At least in this case you can't fault the media for mentioning GTA in their article.

With nuts like this, it's GTA, it's the voices in their heads, it's satan, it's comic books, it's D&D, it's heavy metal...when they go off they'll always find something other than themselves to blame for their actions and others will always look for a scapegoat.

If anyone here decides to go crazy, PLEASE blame it on video games then when they ask what game on the news go "Hannah Montana Sing Along" and start laughing. You will most likely get cut off air before you finish, but who cares. Make the media look like the true fools they are.

Jamaicangmr3858d ago

I'll get right on that. Lol!

BX813858d ago

Yeah, you go crazy and the media is going to be the one to look like a fool. Good one sparky! Lol.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC2h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer3h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde35m ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx26m ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B5h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21835h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh5h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia5h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins5h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal4h ago

The first game was the best imo.
