This isn't "stupidity" — and it's ignorant for you to think so.

No. Just... no. The more realistic and detailed graphics become, less effort will be put into art direction or even making games into looking like actual video games.

You're a fucking idiot.

:-*

I know one of your earlier posts got 10 stars (congrats on that), but you're not making much of an argument with your one-word responses. Most of Rockstar's stories have been schlock and the games are primarily known their open-world gameplay. If they wanted to make the "greatest game of all time" they shouldn't rely…

I've played plenty of games that were better written (in my mind) than R* stuff—Grim Fandango, Earthbound, the Uncharted series, the Mass Effect series, the Witcher series, Bioshock, KOTOR, Portal, the old LucasArts SCUMM games.

The writing in most of Rockstar's games are laughable, but they're held up as some sort of standard. He's only a "genius" if you've never seen a good movie or read a good book. He's thoroughly mediocre.

Yes, I suppose denying gang members legit jobs with good pay is a great way to persuade them to stop doing crime.

Dan Houser, the co-founder of the studio, writes almost all of their stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_House…

That's a fair point, but in this case, Rockstar had that choice and knew where the money would go.

People who are recruited solely due to the fact that they engage in criminal activity don't deserve money simply for being a gang member.

If they were really going for greatest game of all time they would have someone than the owner writing the game.

Criminals being supported monetarily while still being criminals is all but supporting their "work". That's the point and the problem, here.

Are they still active gang members?

What?

This is a bad situation, but it sounds like they both were in a very rough relationship. Read the Parental Evaluation PDF. He sounds like he had some very big anger problems and was emotionally abusive.

There were differences in financial views and the mother reported the father was a “big spender” and they had separate finances. She says there were “lots of fights about money” and that one time the father pushed her against the wall. During her pregnancy they would “wrestle” and she felt she had to defend herself.…

You haven't played the game yet.

Your story sounds like mine. Back when I was younger, I even co-founded a gigantic "sharing" site (over 100,000 members and sharing magnet links).

That's fair, and I can understand that point. I did not see the point of this post to be regarding the minor, though—more the reaction to him (and the stereotype of who he is) that BodyBuilders.com had.
