So GTA IV is out and the kill happy kids go nuts, heh. I think GTA is another game that some people can become addicted to, at least the media seem to. I can't go to a single news site or listen to a podcast on tech without hearing something about GTA. This to a degree annoys and frustrates me.
What is the big hype? It's a game people, come on!

Seems to be the random acts of violence and law breaking one can do. What is it with this, as soon as we(the human race) get a world where we can do what ever we want without thinking about the consequences, we start murdering, pillaging and stealing.

Ok, I have to say that the version before this one(I played it a few months ago) kinda made you go that way, the only way you could do anything was to either steal it, kill for money or transport.
Why can't they evolve the game to say become a store clerk, window washer, astronaut, anything. Why are we being forced into things that are usually not accepted.

So what would happen if this went on in the real world? What if one day you could get up and do anything without anything happening to you.

I hoped that the human race had progressed, but for some reason I feel that we are going backwards, not forwards.
