My last and final session with the game started with going into a crack house and observing what seemed to be someone receiving a blowjob, which was quite shocking to see. The way women are portrayed in the game is quite ill, but then again no one in the game is that outstanding. Even the well-dressed women in the game talk about their make up and seem stuck up.
That aside there seemed to be another positive side in the game that became more evident back at the barbershop. The barber mentioned something about family every time I was there. The theme of family and unity seems quite strong in the game. People that I have encountered in the game seem like they keep the people they love close, which was cool to observe.
Outside of a mission I decided to head downtown and observe more people. It was interesting to see the cops killing people. There was a shooting observed and cops killed and ran over a few people in the street. No one fights back against the cops and there is never any retaliation, which was a bit interesting to see. It would be even more interesting if there were more in-depth character traits given to the NPCs in the game.
