The second time I played GTA wasn't any different than the first. I still didn't know the purpose of the mission or game. The narrative told me that I get points from basically avoiding the cops or doing worse crimes. I didn't even know what to do so I jumped in a car and started running people over. The cops caught on and chased me for a while. I thought maybe this game was like Need for Speed and if I out run the cops I get points or something like that. They never stopped following me and usually they would end up killing me or arresting me. I don't understand how or why when you get killed you just always wake up in a hospital and continue to cause havoc. That didn't seem realistic at all. Lets just use an example in the real world. Usually, when a "gangster" gets seriously injured or comes close to dying, they realize that there is a better life out there. Those close run ins with death will cause people to re think their life.
I thought it was funny on how if I got in trouble with another gang, the cops and the gang would be trying to kill me. You would think that the cops would try to stop the situation and subdue both parties. Nope, they all went after me.
I got a comment on my last entry about what is an innocent person in GTA's standards. After playing it again I saw that there were innocent people in the game. These people, if you tried to fight them, would run away. They weren't doing anything wrong. They didn't shoot back. They were just walking down the street and got in my way. In the real world, there are more of these types of people than cops and gangsters. In the GTA world, there are more cops and bad guys just randomly walking around. I guess there would be no point to the game if the bad guys and cops didn't show up as often. This is why I am not a fan of this game. The purpose is stupid. Its almost like cheating in life. If you actually enjoy what you are doing in the game, whats to stop someone from doing it in real life? Why talk the talk when you can just walk the walk? Its because they are scared of the consequences in the real world. People that enjoy this game and what they are actually doing, in my opinion, should be careful of their choices in the real world and not let GTA influence them to act differently.
