Jan 18th, 2009 at 18:01:53 - Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas (PS2) |
As said in my earlier log, this time I decided to go off on my own. I find both following the storyline and being adventurous by myself with the game equally as interesting. I bet that most people when they play without the storyline will not follow the rules of the road and probably more on the violent side. Driving fast and maybe harming others. For most of the time I was driving around, exploring different parts of the game/city. The most intriguing thing is how culturally different different parts of the city is. From downtown, to my characters neighborhood, to the hills where the ranch houses are located. But what I found most disturbing about my game playing experience is how when I was walking around, I’m assuming it was in my rival gangs neighborhood, because all a sudden I was being shot at. Actually during this game playing experience I died or was “wasted” several times due to these shootings. The reason why I was “wasted” is probably because I don’t have any type of weapon since I am starting a new game each time I play. What I find disturbing is how I was not doing anything and I was being attacked. I guess it’s because of the hatred between my gang and my enemy. Another disturbing part of the game is how I was walking around and I accidentally ran into a prostitute and then she started shooting at me with a gun. I have played other GTA and I know that I’ve probably run into prostitutes before but I have never been shot at. The next time I play will just walk around a little bit more and see what else I encounter.

The last time I played any GTA game was about a year ago, I have forgotten how fun yet addicting the game is. Today I played for about 40 mins, and this time I followed the story line. I plan on going more off on my own the next time. Being an african-american, some where in his twenties, I found it interesting how just walking or driving around, comments would pop-up saying that if I stayed in that area for too long I might attract attention from enemy gangs. We all know what that means, but I did not know before the game where San Andreas took place, nor that I would be part of a gang and have rivals, I found that quite interesting.
I believe that I played three missions, passing two and not completing the last. The first mission was just driving, when I passed the mission I received "respect" instead of earning money like the other GTA games. I found that very intriguing. The second mission was interesting how my character had to chase other african-americans on a bicycle and not in a car, once again I received "respect" when I passed the mission. The last mission I found compelling how I had to spray paint signs over-top of rival gang sings. But during this mission I received a star and the police later arrested my character. By that time my 40 mins were up. The next time I hope to explore different aspects of the game outside of the story line.
