  • 11/02/11 GTAV

  • I think GTA4 is the best video game that I have ever played. But I'm in the small percentage who really enjoy shooting people and running over as many as possible. :-) I polished my skills with the combat knife by going into the diner next to nico's apartment and killing all the customers. :-)

  • I'm old enough to know if I crash a car going 120 mph I'm not going to wake up in front of a hospital like nothing happened. If I shoot a police officer in the face I'm going to have worse problems than having my gun confiscated.

  • m for mature i thought it meant m for morgan freeman.

  • yes thats right not for no fucking dumb shit ass kids like 4-16 its not for kids.

  • Comment removed

  • there are lots of ways to play gta 4 in a none violent way

  • gods sake! this is not violent, fallout 3 and mortal kombat are worse

  • @Teeheehee093 there not realistic though. gta is thats why there bitching about it

  • wow an unbiased view of a violent videogame, imagine Fox news seeing this they would go ballistic

  • who goes out with kate and michelle?

  • Why are they making us feel that if you played GTA it's the end of the world?

  • "M" for "Manly"

  • Ive been a gamer for nearly 30 yrs. i play Maturerated games. I dont have a violent history, or any criminal records. I know the difference between right and wrong. Video games have such a right to be socially accepted as a legitimate form of entertainment, much like movies, music, tv, and comic books. The media needs to focus on other topics than this!!!

  • hunk of garbage gang training game

  • @hdyudu I don't play games all the time. And its good to escape from reality every now and then. And not everyone who plays GTA IV is prone to be committing acts of violence. You are entitled to your opinion though, but it is a mature rated game, the equivalent of an R rated movie!!! Hopefully, you don't flame me for this comment!

  • no i won't flame your of it

  • Why would people complain about fake violence when we have real problems?

  • I LOVE U CBS FOR SAYING THAT THESE GAMES ARENT BAD I LOVE U

  • Video Gaming IS Art. Why can't people realize that

  • grand theft auto is made for killing spree's you only have the option because its an open world, thats what fucking old fucks who try to ban the game dont get. its a deeep storyline. its not like manhunt

  • Damn the British for making these violent games! lol

  • we indeed don't need these future gang bangner training garbage games out thare

  • @hdyudu But if there a "gang banger trainer garbage"

    Wouldnt that mean "Super Mario" ( one of the worlds biggest gaming franchises) would have people who play it running around stamping on mushrooms and headbutting walls trying to get coins and jumping trying to catch stars for power ups?

  • it depends on the game if just full of killing people and cops for no aparent reason is just that being a fictonal street thug killing cops and people and this some times is taken from the game out to reality sony

    the makers of grand theft auto had a lawsuit on thare hand because of this young teen games are the most

    guilty for this which is reason why thare try to make it law that anyone under 18 are not allowed to buy thim without thare parents for that reason

  • @hdyudu Sony arent the makers of Grand Theft Auto, they are a British invention and made in Britain, at Rockstar North. and all the portable versions are made at Rockstar Leeds.

    plus they are not made for teens,they are made for adults. im 26 and been playing violent videgames for years ( all the Grand theft autos) and i have never gone out or wanted to go out and kill anybody or never commited a crime.

  • @hdyudu What does that even mean?

  • it means thare more productive this to do thin killing c.g people on the television

  • @hdyudu There are also more productive things to do than bitching about habits of people you don't even know.

  • im complaning because it seems like lazyness video game is the way living is going today

    i see it o most everyday if you go to your nearby wal-mart and take a look a how meny that are so fat

    and too lazy to walk so thay use the handycap electric scooters to get a round the store hoging

    thim from people that reley do need thim and guest what thay do all day at home play video games and over

    eat then thay give excuses like it a disease and etc so yes i got a right to be mad and complan

  • @hdyudu You're going to Walmart. They're all rednecks, no wonder they're fat. All rednecks do is drink beer and watch football. Also, look at their age and gender, too. They're too old to be interested in video games, or they're women.

    Use your brain.

  • i am too happy with wal*mart most of thare products are cheap and sloppy made junk from a factores operated

    in the slummy lead and bacteria polluted parts of china that only last two years top thay treat thare employees like a bunch of rats

  • @hdyudu Yet you go there...

  • o most everybody this days go thare its like a moth coming across a bug zapper light i haven been thare in a week

  • @hdyudu ...I don't...and it's just a week.

  • we had a bad experience with wal*mart crappy customer service not too long ago so where not going thare

    as much any more

  • @hdyudu ...SO DON'T GO THERE.

  • best not too

  • @MaoiMeowi2 Dude im a redneck and i watch baseball not football and im not fat don't listen to dumb stereotypes

  • @MrSev32 How can you be a redneck if you don't watch baseball and aren't fat?

  • @hdyudu Go do something bettere with your time, and leave us the fuck alone!!!

  • you know thare other things to do besides killing people on a television screen such as listening to music or take your family on vacation life is not just around

    video game people that sit in front of the t.v all day and play video game i think are boring, back years ago

    thare was no such thing as high graffic video game people use what called imagination which did not put future thugs on the street but insted gave us plenty of jobs to go to work to than whats out thare today

  • @hdyudu I'd like to point out that parents aren't supposed to buy M rated games to there stupid, impressionable children. They're supposed to play outside or play games on the Wii (For the most part.) I'm 14 and play video games all the time. And do you know why? Because apparently groups of children my age like to put the kid who's bad at sports down. If I play games, I don't get made fun of. I have a damn good imagination. I just can't use it without being made fun of.

  • right thare a time for video game but thare also a time for doing other thing too

  • @hdyudu you don't know anything about GTA, its fun and it doesn't have to be violent, there are more then just shooting things, you can bowl, play darts, play pool, do street races and just do silly things like ramp off buildings on a moterbike, its just fun and alot of the stuff that can happen are hilarious, same goes for Red Dead Redemption

  • @Teeheehee093 k i see what your saying bro but your telling me if you bought gta4 you'd just bowl play darts and attempt motorcycle stunts ? come on

  • Not much people play Cop's & Crooks online anymore =(

  • LOVE YOU MAN!

  • @TheJJHman In Soviet Russia, game has to be 18 to buy you.

  • @LolAtDeadPeople in soveit russia boy scouts rape u

  • to be VERY honest. it only effects you if you play is NON stop. i played GTA IV for like a week non stop when it first came out. but when i went outside, i had this feeling to just steal someones car lol but it just takes common sense to know NOT TO DO IT lol its not hard, just know not to do it. if your a psycho your bound to do it anyway, GTA or no GTA

  • People need to realize that kids aren't buying the game to just kill people or have sex with hookers. They're buying the game because it has an in depth story line and it lets you see what it's like to live the life of an actual criminal.

  • pause at 1:42 nicko is fighting luis from ballad of gay tony

  • @bowlfullofgame Scary

  • @bowlfullofgame Yeah all the DLCS can actually be seen in the main story

  • @legofanatic12 yeah you got xbox live or ps3

  • @bowlfullofgame Mhm i got both

  • This guy needs to talk to my mom...

  • I officially love this guy

  • They are saying that they should put it A ( 18+ ) but if ur 18- or 18+ u can still shot a cop lol..

  • this video convinced my mom to let me play GTA 4

  • theres nothin to relieve stress like pushing an old virtual lady down a flight of steps :)

  • I play all kinds of games like GTA and watch movies and TV shows and i'm not a bad kid. I'm 12 also.

  • this was the best way to describe the game this guy explained it the best way

  • AT 1:42 LUIZ LOPEZ

  • finnaly an adult who knows what hes talking about, not a mom who's terrified of all games because she heard her son swear once.

  • Finnally,some people who relize it's the parents fault not the games.

  • He made a very good point about the Godfather.

  • the media likes gta4O_o? it's... it's... a miracle.

  • gta4 wasnt even that good. im 16 and maybe the concept of killing random people and running over peds just escaped me over the years. cuz when i was like 10 i would of cut off my own foot to play this game. now its just so overrated and ultimately not that great of a game. but im getting the episodes eventually.

  • i am 12 and i play gta iv but i dont go to some random guy and punch him the face and its not like i am going to start ;world war 3; + before u go bying a older game 4 the kid must know that video games r fake. people can't come back by killing them. my 6 year old bro knows that and noting happen+if vido games are so bad. what about moveis same thing happends with moves like( the final destination).THIS IS ONLY MY REVIEW:) if like thumbs up if hate thumbs down

  • finnaly someone whos not a dumbass retard! :DDDDD

  • "These types of games cause school shootings" MY ASS!!

  • to me i play violent video games to feel better and calm my anger down cause after a hard day at school or work or anywhere else u might have had someone get on u nerves and annoy u and u just wanna kill them but u can just play gta and it will be all better........................­.......................LOLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

  • The average gamer is like 11-20 not 30

  • I love the GTA series and the only reason i bought a ps3 is because i wanted to own GTA 4 and any other GTA games that come out after this

  • LOL an outlet for their anger, never thought of it like that, but hey i have been playing GTA for 4 years, i never once wanted to go and kill a hooker with a chainsaw. But i am suprised that a News station was able to take a deeper look into a GTA game then other stations.

  • And KNIGHTCleric is probably a dumb nigger, haha you stupid fuck, no hoods, no pimping cars, no ghetto shit, stupid monkey gang fights, GTFO of here piece of shit

  • I'm just waiting till a totaly new GTA comes out with all that in it, which will be even better and perfected to a 100% pretty sure =] yeah thanks for arguing, if you don't like the fucking feel of it then go back to SA shitheads

  • GTA IV is the best and most realistic GTA ever, SA was so so long and fucking great, but it was too stupid at times and cartoonish.... that's just fucking gay, GTA game shud be realistic and have a great story. GTA IV is pretty much like a movie, SA has the best features, going to the gym being my fave! And the girlfriend and shit, doing all those mini things between missions is OFF THE CHAIN! Rockstar rocks, but put all that in GTA IV, it would be perfect!

  • Gta IV is not Gta? Go fucking drown yourself you idiot, just be patient till San Adreas like game comes with the Gta IV graphics, physics and animations, then you wont bitch a bit... stupid fuck.... it's the best GTA IV out..... it's Gta in everyway, just done and presented in a very realistic way..... shut... the... fuck ...up.... jesus.....

  • OMG Thank you! Finally

  • i am a serious gamer and im not 30

  • you can clearly tell that he plays it from line one "the reason this game is so popular is not the fact that you can club somone with a baseball bat its because its a living breathing open world"

  • gta 4 is not a gta game anymore

    we`ve been given an opportunity to play in a liberty city

    but where is this LIBERTY?

    all i can do in GTA 4 are stunts and bowling

    i dont complete those stupid missions coz they are boring,characters are not interesting at all, there is almost no link between characters

    anyway,GTA sA rocked and GTA 4 lamed

    that`s it

  • @KNIGHTCleric there is link between alot of the chars? you obiously havent played the story.

  • @jake23211 well ye there is a link

    but dude the storyline is not deep at all

    the only interesting fact was that Niko planned to kill a traitor and until mission 10 we didnt know about that traitor

    yes,that surprised me

    but later story gets messed up,niko doesnt find the traitor - instead he finds some GAYboy and all that shit

    also, roman story could be much more deep

    there could be much more cutscenes

    instead of cutscenes - there are enormous dialogues

    anyway,GTA4 is boring

  • @KNIGHTCleric I gotta agree with you. For some reason when I play GTA 4 i dont feel like im playing a GTA idk its weird. I think they spent too much time tryna make the game REAL and not fun. GTA San Andreas to me is one of the greatest games of all time

  • @KrayzieMayne777 the only down side for san andreas was the bugs and gun fire soud effects

  • foucus on something else those studies that they do are stupid

  • GTA's the only game that I think should be even on store shelves....Im a Hardcore gamer I play Fallout 3, Halo 3, Cod and other shit...But GTA has WAAYYY to much....

  • @KNIGHTCLERIC have you even played GTA IV, your stupid as shit.

  • i believe GTA SA was the best in all gta serie games

    GTA 4 looks pretty mediocre - boring and messed up soryline, dumb AI , no hoods , no bandits , no planes , no bikes, no biniculars or googles , no painting on walls , and lame stunts

  • @KNIGHTCleric your a fucking moron

  • @KNIGHTCleric grand theft auto dosent even need "hoods" or "painting of walls" gta iv is more mob based and planes dont realy work in liberty city as much as they would in another thats why there are helicopters. there is nothing wrong with the story at all infact its so in depth that for some people you see in the origonal there are complete dlc campaigns for them. please play before you type.

  • @jake23211 ummm you know actually i`ve PLAYED GTA4 so i know what i`m talking about

    gta sa had much more features and looked really gta-like

    GTA4 is not gta anymore

    also gta 4 doesnt have any gta-atmosphere

    gta sa has

    anyway,there is no point in arguing with a human who thinks gta4 is better than gta sa

  • focus in real problems not in a video game

  • Yup. Finally someone that his brain in the correct location.

  • I have a baby sister and when that day comes she decides to wander in my room before she's seventeen and ask "may I play Grand Theft Auto?" or "Yo Pops, how about hooking me up wit' dat' GTA?", I'm going to reply with a word not often used in the America of today: No.

    Why? I'm a responsible Grand Theft Auto player and a big brother, until she's of the age when she can play it, she's going to get a "no", for those foaming at the mouth about now at this video, look it up and be responsible.

  • the media not saying that R* is the devil company I think I'm in love!

  • this gives a point people always blame the game never the person who was retarded enough to try and reenact the things done in the game. finally someone defends the GTA series. one question to those who blame the game for violence, parents especially, always saying my child did something they saw in a violent game, song movie, etc.  Who bought the game, CD, answer me that.

    thumbs up if your on the same mindset.

  • omg! someone who actually knows what there talking about!

  • finally, someone who actully played it before telling everyone about it. you wouldn't make a review of a movie you have never seen would you? yet lots of members of the media critisize games without playing the, which is just the same

  • When people talk about how violet the game is, it makes me like it more.

  • This Game is just like america!

  • @THISISMYELAMENT lol new york doesn't have that much violence lmao

  • @gcexposer2010

    AMERICA not new york specifically. gangs are everywhere, immigrants are everywhere joining gangs, gangbanging immigrants are everywhere killing.

  • @THISISMYELAMENT everywhere? or do u mean big citys because in my town here doesn't have gangs or drug lords to be honest oregon doesn't have much gangs so as washington california on the other hand u have a point

  • i bought ps3 just for this game :D!

  • @kuhataparunks lol me 2

  • @kuhataparunks lol same here

  • I completely agree, people who don't know what they are talking about blame video games for their kids problems. It is your fault if your kid is bad, not the game. Also, people only think about violent video games not movies.

  • i wish more people had seen this interview

  • Wow a guy on the news that not basing video games and know what the Hell he is talking about? lol Great job he should replace that bitch Katie Couric after she said all that manhunt 2 crap with doing any damn research. It like Fox news and it mass effect report!

  • i admit gta is seriously really bad lol but as long as your not letting a little kid play it and hes not a retard,its fine.

  • Fuck the ESRB! Fuck Fox and CBS! And fuck YOU!

  • @DBxSnowman very mature. thats how to change peoples minds.

  • this guy, should go against glenn beck, POLL POLL POLL!

  • hate one thing that in this game they don't make much of things like freedom of choices for players to be like...example, like you might want to be a heroes, or a great smuggler, criminal, or just a business man...if you guys get my drift...like a bit of RPG stuffs and bit of Sims game. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME even in single player.

  • the stories about people copying gta are stories about people that were already unbalanced

  • GTA IV is so awesome that I bought it for the 360 and PC!

  • Comment removed

  • wow. Dude, please go and say this to jack thompson and glenn beck, maybe they'll listen to you.

  • i like this guy he isnt a ass like alot of adults that critisize the game when they probaly havent even played it i mean come on its not like were gonna pick up a hooker than kill her/him if a kid kills some one its not gta's or any games fault the kid just has mental problems. now ima go play some gta so peace :D

  • im 13 and i love this game (other than AC2) but its hillarious how people talk about how bad this game is when they havnt even played it themselves so its just what they saw in trailers or what their biased associates told them

    this game is violent but it is only a psycological problem if the person already has issues or they cant tell the difference between fantasy or reality

  • geeese i love this guy

  • Finally a none Bias news report on GTA 4!!!!!!!!!

  • Finally a smart person on the news

  • there are proably more mature 13 year olds than 18 year olds they say the games do it but what about most of the bad people that didnt have video games

  • Gosh that man sounds like a fast talker.

  • This guy is certanly right. I would NEVER comit an ofence from this game in real life... 1) When i play games like this and ya gotta chose to kill 'em or let them go i always have a long think about it and even in GTA 4 i started thinking about the virtual family of the charector and hes virtual life in genarel. 2) GTA dosen't lie to ya about the consiqences so i don't wanna perform this kinda stuff. and lastly if i was sent out to shot a man i wouldn't be able to do it, it would hert my moral.

  • im 13 years old finished the game after 1 week :P

    i understand that shooting people and stuff ar not good im not a dumbass

  • Omg, CBS news ftw! Or at least this guy.

  • honestly, i think that once ur 13, u shud be allowed to play any game u want, considering this is the 21st century and kids learn things these types of things at earlier ages.

  • If 13 years old could prove they could be mature maybe that would work.

  • well when ur 13, u basically understand and know all thats going on by now

  • Finally, a sane person . Thank you my friend. Thank you. If there were more people like you....

  • i really dont understand y some parents are fixed on not letting there kids play rated M games. people just blame games for children becoming violent because its so easy to blame. its harder for someone to say, Oh my kid is just naturally violent becuase he has a menta problem. a parent would rather blame video games. blaming video games will never make sense and it surely never has.

  • at 0:03 he says grand theft auto 3 but show footage of 4...

  • hes talking about the first game.

  • Wow someone actually gets it, its just for fun

  • HAHA Take that jack tompson

  • finnaly a cool jew.

  • @soarepaul1407 hey, most Jews are cool! =)

  • Finally someone who isn't a dumbass.

  • God Bless The Video Games!

  • screw uu gta s 4 every body

  • I would most certaintly say NOT... this game should NOT be played by anyone under the age of 13. It's just too violent and too adult for anyone under that age.

    Call me a stuck up dumbass, but i've actually played the game

  • ok fag ruin kids life WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT AGE MY 7 YEAR OLD KID PLays IT SOME THING IS WRONG WITH HIM UR A JACK ASS GO SUCK YOUR DADS DICK AND LET HIM RAPE U U FAGOT

  • Mhmm. See what i mean?

    You want to let 7 year olds go around gunning down civilians, doing drugs, breaking the law and commiting mass mindless slaughter? Its fun, its fucking hilarious-but come on, people.

    7 year olds should be playing spongebob, or something. Not GTA.

  • OH SO WHEN YOUR KIDS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL U WAnt him to be a wuse and get beat up or killed or kill him self tell me when he blows his brains out

  • Ok, first off bub.

    7 year olds would be in 1st grade.. y'know, elementary school?

    And 2nd... since when does pressing buttons and shooting at 3d images make you "Manly"

    Oh, and FYI

    I'm 14 :D

  • then u sholud blow ur brains out cause ur gonna die old and alone sucking ur own dic

  • @GAYTONY1111 I doubt someone who can't spell and uses childish insults in caps has a 7 year-old son.

  • im 12 and i have all of them...

  • I approve!

  • 0:52 luis rofl

  • im 13 to and i love that game

  • me to

  • I've been playin gat since i was fuckin 7 jesus and now im 16 and I DONT HAVE A FUCKIN ANGER PROBLEM OR ANYTHING!

    FUCK HILLARY CLINTON AND THE MOTHER FUCKERS THAT HATE GTA GTA IS FUCKIN GREAT

  • No anger problems?

    Suuuuuuuure....

  • The media defends GTA? Thank you God!

  • @ledawg1138 about fucking time aswell

  • The average gamer is in their early thirties? Whaaaaat?

  • i love u.. its true lol most of the time i just drive around town for fun..i mean if im board i shoot up some people but really i didnt get the game to kill. i got it because its one of the only games that allows you to kick back in a city chill and do w:e u feel like...its a great game all games are great in their own way..its people that suck at em and cant play them because they were never allowed that want games like this thrown away..

  • yeah especialy in GTA 4 because the city is such a work of art and i just enjoy driving around town observing the people and the crazy shit that goes around in the city

    i guess people just dont understand (jack thompson,hillary clinton,over-protective parents) that gta,saints row and other open ended games are works of beautiful art and try and immitate real life (well not saints row that much) and in real life you CAN get hookers,kill people,and stuff like that

  • yay he understands! woot! :D

  • im 13 and i have gta4 and its fun as hell and people act like all you do is kill people i dont kill people alot unless im bored most things i do is just drive around and do dumb shit

    fuck these guys GTA is awesome and i am extreamly non violent

    this guy in the vid is smart though

  • im 13 too and i also have gta4 and i agree with you 100%

  • your totally right! im 11 and i play it!

  • yea true

    people dont take the game wrong it's just for fun and enjoyment..

    Niko,CJ,Tommy and other charactor are just in games not in real life so plz dont try to act like them..

    Rockstar North I am The biggest fan of ur's..

    God Bless YOu all.

    Regards

  • finally folks a reporter that understand gamers. praise this reporter. fck those nerdy reporters who hates gta 4.

  • mine doesent say m it says 18 why does this say m?
