Day 3: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Third time playing this game and I still have a lot of difficulty controlling my character. I’m still uncomfortable with the vulgar language used that I find very unnecessary. I got frustrated with the missions and for the most part ended up just exploring the ‘hoods’ and areas within the game while trying to get better at using the controls. I found even this difficult as when I would get stuck or fall off the bike - another gang continued to shoot at me. I think this game could improve in several ways. I think it’s wrong that they portray african americans in such a poor way, they use horrible language that doesn’t add to the game, and the graphics are pretty crappy. Overall I do like the story part of the game. I think that makes the game a little interesting - having a back story of your character. I find that they put a strong emphasis of loyalty towards friends and gang members but the things they are loyal about are not always morally good. Now that this assignment is over, there is a very likely chance I will probably never play this game again as I did not find it very enjoyable.

Day 2: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
I feel like this game is for people who want to be violent yet don’t want to get in trouble with the law in reality. There are many things that could be seen as morally wrong. Between stealing cars and hurting innocent people, it seems like the only way you can possibly complete missions is by committing crimes. They are rewarding you for beating up innocent people by letting you keep their money. I find it hard to go about the missions in general. You are constantly trying to keep up with the others on the bike so you don’t get too far behind while another gang is consistently trying to kill you. Oh and you have to not get arrested for the crimes you’re FORCED to commit, or else you lose.

Day 1: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
I’ve never played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas before so I had no idea what to expect. I was honestly surprised about the almost racist like take the creators of the game have. The characters in the game are all african americans being portrayed in an ugly way. The male characters are wearing clothes that are way too big for them while the female characters wear clothes that are very revealing and way too small. The few white characters are racist in the game saying things such as “stupid mexican” and something negative about the main character regarding his race (although I forget the exact quote.) The other gang that was shooting at my character were all black as well. It gives the illusion that only african american people are dangerous and are in gangs when this isn’t always true in reality. It also shows that it is okay to be dangerous as long as you don’t get caught. In contrast, the cops in the beginning of the game, took money from the main character accusing him of using it for drug money without any evidence of anything. Heavy violence, offensive/dirty language, and gangs are definitely what this game seems to be about. Hopefully for day 2, I will get something else out of this game.
