So I can't wait to break into houses and get attacked by a dog and blow away the dog and blast the owner....

Ah-hah! So that is why you were a jerk to me in response of my post up there.

At first, I wasn't sure what I said that offended you exactly. Me wanting the Italian Mafia in the game or me saying I was going to be a good guy instead of the KKK's version of the stereotypical black man like most of you are probably going to be.

I guess I hit a little to close to home since you are probably African-American yourself [or just a wannabe white boy who wishes he was black].....and you know I am telling the truth and that your whole ghetto macho way of life is trash.

Honestly, games like the newest GTA that is coming out this fall make the black man look very bad and it will only continue to hold the young black man back in getting equal rights.

The gangsta stuff is why most hillbillies hate blacks and why people with all the power want to keep black people down, because they all think they are dangerous thugs who want to break into their homes, rape their women, steal their cars, and kill them.

And of course any black man who is not a gang-banger is an Uncle Tom in the homeboy's eyes.

I have to serious wonder though if some of the hard-core GTA fans are sane people since they clearly enjoy killing innocent video game characters and committing violent crimes. Video game or not. I mean, what's next? Killing people for real? That seems to be the next step.

And anytime guys like me complain about it, we get hated on. I ain't no wussy. Your character can still be hard-core, sick, and violent in these video games without killing good characters.

Like I said, when I play games like The Suffering, Manhunt, and the GTA games.....all bad guys better beware.

Maybe there's a reason you drink alone.

No, it's because I don't like sharing my beer with others.

The kid is brainless Dave...Nothing new though every GTA:San Andreas Board/Thread I have been to has these type of idiots...

Kid? If I was a kid, I couldn't drink.

And if I am so brainless, why not debate this with me? Let me guess. Ya don't want to make this thread into a debate thread. Well, you could always PM me but you won't because you know I am right.

And hey, I did not even start this. You started it by dissing on my first post on here. Just don't be hating on me because I make the choice of being a good guy in my video games that doesn't get off on killing old ladies in video games and beating up women and breaking into houses.

[DaveWadding]

Seriously, go kill yourself.

That's just the point though. It's a videogame. This isn't real life we were discussing. Nobody goes out and beats old women and breaks into their house, that's the point of a videogame. It gives you the ability to do stuff you can't or shouldn't do in real life. People don't play Halo to fix the corrupt world after it was taken over by aliens. They play the game to beat the shit out the little fuckers.

Nobody is making fun of you because of the choice you decide to make in a game, that's why there is the ability to make such. You will still have to be "the stereotypical black" because you will still have to commit crimes and you will still have to murder people. Who cares what the graphic looks like, you're not commiting the crime. If you don't want to play the game like someone else, then fine. Just don't make a huge deal about it.

I'm cool with that. It's just that I read on here you have the choice of being good or evil in the video game. I was happy and posted about it and said I was going to be good, and then your homeboy over there insulted me for it. I would have gotten flamed big time if I insulted him or others for wanting to be evil. Just live and let live I say.

[Optik]

Man your an idiot. I nor anyone else care about your crusade to rid the world of evil. Seriously, if you want to debate so badly go to the discussion forum.

"I would have gotten flamed big time if I insulted him or others for wanting to be evil. Just live and let live I say"

Being evil? Get outa here your ruining the thread...

[Oxstar]

GTA contains so much evil it fucking rules

[Requiem]

Blacks will have sterotypes about them as long as people like The Lone Drinker continue to point them out. I never bothered to give it a second thought until he said it.. It also doesn't help that a lot of big city gangs are mostly black.. In last month's playboy, there was an interview with 50 Cent... he told about how he got shot 9 times or some shit in a gang related crime. Maybe if they stopped associating themselves with gangs, people would stop making that sterotype.

So shut the fuck up.

[Requiem]

Oh, and games don't bring out violence. If someone takes what they saw in a game as reality, then they have their own mental problems to begin with. It's not the game, it's them...

[DS]

I'm sorry but someone has to point this out...you were reading the articles in Playboy?

OH COME ON!

[Requiem]

Yep... You can only look at the same pictures over and over so many times. Makes good reading material while on the shitter.

Oh come now. You were reading an article over 50 Cent. Good stuff...

Like I said, when I play games like The Suffering, Manhunt, and the GTA games.....all bad guys better beware. Way to sound like your 12

[el fregadero]

Chill, Savior.

[Savio]

NO I WON'T CHILL PEOPLE LIKE THIS SHOULD DIE! j/k I'm fine but that kid's a moron.

[el fregadero]

Black people being in a gang is the equivalent of the Italians in the mafia in GTA III (and Vice city, as well).

[Savio]

Some day they'll make a white gang. And not the terrible white gang in VC.

[el fregadero]

And some day there will be blacks in the mafia.

Okay, maybe not.

[The Lone Drinker]

"So your saying all the GTA games must have a white guy to not make stereo types?"

Not at all. Up until the most recent GTA, they stereotyped Italian-Americans all being in the Mafia.

But Italians are not as repressed as the blacks. Most people love Italian Mafia movies and Italian food. Italians are "cool" in everyone eye's.

Italian Mobsters don't do drive-by's where innocent people can get killed, or mug innocent people or break into innocent people's homes. Most Italian Gangsters are family men and very rich and take care of their wife and kids.

The Italian Mafia does not do what they do for "fun" either. And will only kill other criminals while conducting business.

While most black gangs will hurt anybody and most black gang bangers don't take care of their family.

African-Americans are still struggling in this country and fighting racism. I am not saying the Italians have not had their troubles and problems, but they have overcome it all. Black people have not.

Games like the most recent Grand Theft Auto only continue to hold the black man down.

Black gang bangers are the reason why some whites hate blacks because they think they are all criminals.

It's like what Michael Moore said in his last movie. You whites see blacks portrayed on TV and in video games as rapist gang banger thugs who want to hurt you and your loved ones. It is because Hollywood is racist and so are the makers of GTA.

[The only "gangsta" movies I like are the ones where they teach you that being a thug is stupid and that the whole macho thug way of life is fucking bullshit.]

Because of this whites will only continue to fear the black man and view him as a criminal.

As long as there are black gangs out there, you better believe racism will keep existing.

Most young blacks seem to think the Malcolm X way of thinking is the best, which is BS. Listen to MLK. He knew what he was talking about.

The blacks have listened to Malcolm X for a long time and look where it has gotten them. Nowhere.

All it has caused is crime. If they listened to Doctor King and read his writings, then the world would be a better place for us all.

But no. Any black man who is not a criminal is an "Uncle Tom" in the black man's eyes.

Seriously. Any African-Americans on this board should be agreeing with me. If you are black and you are taking the sides of these guys, you are the real Uncle Tom. Because you are being what the KKK stereotypes you as being.

But hey, if you want to continue to be repressed and treated like a slave, that's your business. I am a white boy. Not like I gotta deal with it.

[Savio]

Let them deal with what they think is racist not you. I highly doubt that them makers of GTA are racist.

[DS]

That was probably the most racial and stereotypical post I have ever read on this board. How can you honestly say Rockstar is racist? They are the ones that pretty have just devoted the entire game of the year to blacks. Hollywood I could possibly see, but then again, they always seem to find someone to play the part...odd isn't it?

Games like the most recent Grand Theft Auto only continue to hold the black man down.

Yet, you were the same one thanking them for giving you the option to choose if you were a good or bad character. I hate to break it to you, but I can tell you that almost everyone who's played GTA has killed innocent people, when they were a WHITE character. That is the point of GTA. You just now have a problem with it because the guy is black.

You really just need to stop being racist and play the game the way you want and if you don't want to play it then don't. I really doubt they will cry when they get millions of dollars in pre-orders but they don't get your $40-$50.

Yeah, black people didn't listen to Martin Luther King and didn't march with him, either.

Just wondering, have you read any of King's works?

And if a black person disagrees with your views of what a black person should be like, that doesn't make them an Uncle Tom.

[DS]

Why do blacks only have nightmares?

Because we killed the only one with a dream.

[el fregadero]

I bet he claims to be offended by that and thinks you're oppressing the black man.

I meant the stuff about sex... 50 Cent sucks.. too bad one of those bullets hadn't killed him.

Racist !

[el fregadero]

Yeah right, like gay people ever hit on you.

[Ninti Ishkur]

"You will also be able to recruit gang members to aid you during missions, and one use for them is a four person drive-by. You can run your gang, but you won’t be checking on inventory or anything like that. You will run it in a way where you are kept in the story, through phone calls and speaking to people. In Vice City and GTA III you were either on a mission or you weren’t, and the story didn’t feel like it progress outside the missions. Well now the game changes all the time. While you aren’t on a mission, you can things that reflect your position in the storyline. You can take up side missions where you can learn a skill you need for a mission."

I've had this idea for years. However, my idea is my intrinsic.

You hire the gang members to protect properies which the enemy can take over and as long as they control your property, your money will deplete at a certain rate.

If your money depletes, you lose your gang member influence and properties.

[VJW]

I'm looking forward to San Andreas quite a lot. I am a huge fan of the GTA series. Vice City didn't dissapoint me and I'm sure that San Andreas will not dissapoint me either. I've seen lots of screenshots of SA and it looks as if it's really good. I think it's extremely impressive that there are three cities the size of Vice City in this game. I am also very interested to see what is in the desert.

[Hired Hitman]

Looks like a hot game, but we wont know untill the game gets released.

[Tony Montana]

Hey DS, what weapons/new weapons are they gonna have in San Andreas ?
