GTA goes gay

The inevitable hullabaloo when the tabloids find the gay sex scene.

Or the Americans...

Erfos - surely you mean the one they will "hide" from the censors only to be cleverly "unlocked" by some cracker.

It adds a whole new meaning to Bringing out the Big guns.

oooooo I cant wait to blow some village people lookalike's head off with a shotgun.

I think it will be called the Hot Chai Latte Mochachino.

And maybe the hookers will be sporting five o'clock shadow, adam's apples, and telltale bulges.

Is that a guy-on-guy knocking shop?

It would be so much fun to blow the crap out of people and look fabulous while doing so!

I am upset Its only for the 360. Leaving us PC gamers out int he cold just like the Lost and the darned. I understand that Rock star is paid money by Microsoft to have console exclusives but windows PC's are not competing with sales of their own xbox360. I even have a wireless 360 controller on my PC just for GTA4.

This now puts a whole new meaning of "blowing" some one away!

Lindsay is rather typical euro-trash fake liberal.

I guess one has to take knocks though being on the top.

Should be "appalled".

The sex scenes in GTA games weren't a scandal in Europe. They never even made it it old media in any meaningful way whatsoever. Why? Because it just isn't interesting.

Nothing wrong with using the word "gay", as for "going gay" there have been gay characters in it since gta 3.

There is nothing wrong with being gay, only morons that believe in mythical beings and follow rules made up by these same morons that follow these fictitious beings have an issue (morons, we have learnt to cook pork properly now, no more worms, so you can eat pork). Probably because they had a gay relative so they said "god/allah/Ronald McDonald" said : Gay is bad.. M'kay."

Also being on the top of what James Mansella? Gun crime, violent crime, incest, failed economy, illiteracy, obesity in under 18's obesity in adults.... yep. No competition. USA is #1

Anyone else ever noticed that only in America is the word "liberal" an insult?

Oh, and I do hope your post was just fun playing a part... Please please let that be true!

It's good to see that GTA is including a gay character and I think it's about time. I hope to see a lot more games and such with gay characters and positive stories.

Equality for all!

Nick please learn the difference between "affect" and "effect" before writing anything else.

I wonder at some of the vitriol I see people spit out in the comments section here at the Inq. towards americans. Sure, our country has a host of problems that need addressing, our high incarceration rate, repressive attitudes towards human sexuality, all the pitfalls associated with the two-party system, etc. but every county in the world today has areas that could be improved, some more than others. I'm no jingoist but I do believe in the principles this country was founded on, protection or property, life and freedom for all. We haven't always lived up to that credo but at least we try. I love the country I live in, for better or worse, and couldn't imagine making a life anywhere else.

Gives a whole new meaning to be "whacked"...

I wouldn't worry the Democrats are onto it. I heard from a very reliable source they are going to be banning the use of all in-game assault weapons etc. The new suggestion is that they replace the guns etc, with such activities as "chase and kiss" "chase and hug" etc etc
Bring it on Obama, the age of Aquarius is finally here!

@Shab: and have you ever lived anywhere else?

Yes, I lived in Iran when I was younger. Another country facing its own unique problems, yet with great cultural richness and my favorite foods!

it wouldn't make my beliefs any less valid. For someone whom I would guess has some anti-american beliefs, you've sure taken a page out of our politician's play books. Your question insinuates that if I haven't lived outside of the U.S.A then my love for my country and assertion that I couldn't "imagine making a life anywhere else" are invalid. Nice try. So does the fact that I've actually lived in another country as a citizen of said country now lend more credence to my expressed beliefs?

I can understand that, for someone coming from Iran, the USA can indeed seem like a great country. But for someone having lived elsewhere, you seem to singularly lack a proper oversight of the situation.
You insist on the values that "your country" was founded on, without mentioning that those values have been thrown out the window for the past decade. Blatant lying at the highest level is not, I believe, something that is part of those lofty values that the USA was founded upon.
Make no mistake, I grew up in the States for 11 years, and I have been back a few times since I left.
America can be a great country. But its bolstering and callous attitude, its total disregard for anything it has decided it does not want, and the twofaced way it has of saying one thing while doing the exact opposite is the thing that really goads people into knocking it.
I mean really, touting the Values of the Founding Father and overlooking the fact that the Bush government publicly ignored the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war, branding them terrorists in order to apply officially-condoned methods of torture, that is simply not acceptable behavior from a country that is the most highly present military force on the planet.
Have you forgotten the pictures of Abu Grahib ? Do you really think the Founding Fathers included that in the Constitution ?
Yes, other countries do have their problems. Racism, corruption at various levels, and greed are worldwide constants of human misbehavior. But that is not an excuse to ignore or play down the worst misdeeds of the most powerful country on the planet.
People resent bullies and liars, and until the USA decides to play once again by the rules it defined for itself, people will continue to berate and vilify it.

Shab appears to be sucking up to Uncle Sam, to try to get the FBI get off his back, and stop the 24x7 surveillance, what with his disclosure of coming from the "axis of evil"...

Thanks for Bashing the USA. We'll get right to work on your worries soon as we get rid of the corruption that has infested us.
BTW: What language do you speak?
Don't forget to thank our soldiers like my father and grandfather.

My dad taught me something yours didn't, so I'll pass it on. (the point of my post) "If you don't have something constructive to say, keep your mouth shut"
Now if you said replace this politician with this good person, fine, but bashing is for punks, so don't act like one.

You can already do that in GTA Vice City on PS2, but you get wasted by the bar security guards.

oooooo I cant wait to blow some village people lookalike's head off with a shotgun.
