Polygon Live: Is GTA 5's torture scene satire, or just gross?

Grand Theft Auto 5's torture scene is provocative, graphic and unlike anything in mainstream video games. But is it good satire?

TheEnigma3133863d ago

Why is this still being discussed? Last I checked; this game was rated M. People never seem to have a problem when this happens in movies.

Lord_Sloth3863d ago

Indeed and it was pretty tame when compared to torture movies like Hostel.

I thought it was hilarious listening to the dude after you rip his teeth out.

lol.. I had read about some controversial torture scene before I played that part. When I did it, I didn't even see what the big deal was. It didn't seem realistic enough to leave any lasting feeling, and I've played way more graphic scenes than this. Maybe it's me that's demented.

Ya, little let down actually after seeing same stories. Wish it could of gone down the Reservoir Dogs road if ya ask me.

Playing Resident Evil 6 was more torturous!

Pintheshadows3863d ago

And more likely to make a gamer angry as a result.

Audiggity3863d ago

It was pretty bad, but, it could have been MUCH worse. Particularly considering how the scene ended...

The media should listen to the older Wu-Tang albums, listen to the proposed torture techniques from them in the 90's, and be thankful Rockstar didn't include anything like that.

Polygon is run by very sensitive-hearted white men with feministic characteristics. Beta males.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing692d ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos2d ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy852d ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius2d ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
