My second experience playing this game got interesting. I was buying guns, working out and just hitting/killing random people on the street. I didn’t really care about the mission so I was just running around town exploring what it had to offer. It was great to know that I had to take care of my health in this game. I found out that I could get fat and that could have a negative effect to my overall performance.
So I just started to attack anyone I saw on the street and it was nice to take their weapon and/or money. I just focused on getting a lot of money so I could get more weapons of my choice. The experience I got from this session was how focused the game was on violence and law breaking. Stereo typing was more noticeable also. The white people are mainly business people and the main enemies are the blacks and Hispanics. Not to mention that most of the ladies in the game are prostitutes that are just there for the players entertainment.
I can see that it’s interesting and it’s definitely out of the ordinary (at the time). I was just getting myself in a lot of trouble running away from cops, killing random people and stealing. That was my main experience and I didn’t have to care of the consequences. I was so free in the game and I did anything I wanted to. I’m a pretty peaceful person and just throwing someone out of the car and stealing it was really harsh to me.
