With just months to go until the release of Grand Theft Auto 5, Rockstar has assured critics that it only expects 19% of players to commit real-life atrocities after playing through the violent campaign.
Whilst previous installments in the controversial series have been responsible for numerous high-profile massacres, Rockstar is confident that the vast majority of GTA 5 players will only experience mild feelings of murderous rage, with exposure to the game generally resulting in petty hooliganism as opposed to cold-blooded murder.

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the best games from the PlayStation 2's vast library."
With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
Just so everyone knows.
The story was written as satire. It is intended to be FUNNY.
Pretty good job of it, too.
They should have this on the back of the box :)
"Warning 19% of players will commit a violent murder based on the events played out to you over the course of the game"
"If you are one of the 19% of players us at Rockstar would just like to wish you all the best while you spend the rest of your life in jail"
Those 19% probably will pirate the game.
Shame , was hoping I would have a better chance of murdering some locals who piss me off.
Um...
I know they're just kidding around and everything, but thats quite a sick thing to actually say :/ Considering it has actually happened before (a game influencing someone to kill)
And here I was thinking the games industry was trying its hardest to keep out of bad press.
@StayStatic YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. A game has influenced a person to kill. INFLUENCED. By a person, I mean kids. I'm not saying all games do. 99% of gamers wont kill. But its happened. Sheesh.
