While the game has been garnering five stars reviews almost across the board, there is a most insidious side to Grand Theft Auto 5 which Ed Smith highlights in this piece:
"Men with delusions about sexual harassment are playing GTA 5 now and the game is assuring them that their behaviour is okay. It's telling them that not only are they able to touch women in clubs, but in actual fact, if they do it enough, the women will sleep with them."
Take-Two announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2025, also sharing an update on the sales of GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
The anticipation for GTA6 has reached fever pitch, with the latest trailer being the biggest video launch of all time.
Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.
To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not
GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.
No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.
I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.
A new Grand Theft Auto VI early comparison video highlights the massive jump in character detail, environments and more over its predecessor.
I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.
Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game
Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.
It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic
Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point
You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.
"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"
In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.
The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.
Rockstar’s iconic title Grand Theft Auto V is making headlines once again—but not for the reasons fans might hope. Less than a year after GTA V joined the
I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.
‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’
That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.
Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)
It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.
GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.
so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.
the headline is misleading asf.
also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha
Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?
There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
the game talks to them in a dreamy voice "yes dave, this is ok in real life. dave, you will not be able to distinguish this game from reality. why dave, you no longer have to try and communicate with women, go out there and touch them, they'll sleep with You. now go, go out there and enjoy this world, you know, the one without laws and repercussions"
ha this guy has no braincells, that must suck.
My first reaction to this article was, "Flamebait".
"This article means I've joined the ranks of morally outraged journalists, Daily Mail and Fox News types who fret about Grand Theft Auto. But honestly, with this, I think my concerns are justified."
No they aren't. You have merely joined the extroverts that say video games cause real world violence and corrupt children. You honestly believe that Grand Theft Auto V will somehow convince men that the behavior displayed in the strip clubs in Los Santos is acceptable in real life?
"Men with delusions about sexual harassment are playing GTA 5 now and the game is assuring them that their behaviour is okay. It's telling them that not only are they able to touch women in clubs, but in actual fact, if they do it enough, the women will sleep with them."
"Oh, and there's nothing the law will be able to do to stop them."
So, you're going on the assumption that just because some men are ignorant of the existence of sexual harassment that they in turn will enact the same actions they see in the game without any consequences. Yeah, that's just foolish thinking. Grand Theft Auto has always been a parody of our world. It always pushed the boundaries and led us to laugh at how stupid some things we experience are.
If your frame of mind were applied to movies and music, more people would be mimicking violence in gore movies and dress like idiot pop "musicians". Your article is narrow-minded and flamebait. This is why gamers don't like people who consider themselves journalists.
Pray for me.
I touched a digital stripper.
I expected all the politicians to jump on the video game violence band wagon, but I really don't need to be preached to about my digital sins. It's just a game!
Clearly the writer has never enjoyed a night out at the 'Rippers in Canada where ALL dances are prefaced with a quick speech that says "You can touch here...here...here...you can't do this... but the rest is ok".
Just sayin...The Housers have been to Canada to visit, and they have been to the strip clubs here. I Know this because my buddy who worked for Rockstar has been out with them and partied with them very very hard.
Where the hell is that Lovefist sleevless? I just finished the game and in 50 hours of doing pretty much everything I never came across it.
