So, it seems that MADD is upset about GTA IV’s drunk driving simulation. Obviously (and it figures) they have yet to actually ‘play’ GTA IV and are just raising a stink because someone told them solely that the act of drunk driving was available in the game. I understand that people are upset at this game because of the franchises history and because most people are morons and don’t do any actual research before the shit hits the fan, but it just bothers me so. If MADD was to actually PLAY the game and experience the drunk driving portion they would come across 2 revelations. The first would be that drunk driving pretty much sucks. Depending on how drunk you are, of course. But I’ll definitely have to take back my post about drunk driving being awesome. After the first time or 2, it’s just not that fun. The second thing about it is that they were probably never told that you can just hail a god damned taxi to get where ever you want to go when your drunk as well. I’m 99% certain no one has come out to tell them this. People who don’t play don’t get that a ‘sandbox game’ like GTA IV is only really as evil as the person playing it. You have lots of options, but that’s all they are. Options. This has been rehashed over and over again so I won’t bore anyone any more. But let’s just give the game a rest and if your going to come out and attack the game, play it first. Find some things that just happen and that you have no control over that you don’t like. Don’t shoot someone random pedestrian in the head with your pistol just to see the blood splatter on the wall and then complain that it’s possible to do that in the game. You did it.
