Any one want some hot coffee? Well, too bad, GTA: SA is off the shelves. ;D Due to some content left in the ESRB board changed the rating to AO. For the full story pc.ign.com/articles/635/635277p1.html |

I guess I'll be picking up a M-rated Greatest Hits version later on this year. Well, if they're smart that's what they'll do.

It could have been a lot worse for Rockstar... The ESRB could have demanded a recall.

This....is just stupid, in my opinion. Any way (PS2, Xbox, PC) you need a third party modification to completely screw with some code that was never meant to be screwed with. It's like saying it's Nintendo's fault if I mess up my copy of Ocarina of Time by going ape with beta quest and a gameshark.

That fact stands, that Rockstar left the code in the game. Thats the whole thing. True, but if you don't want to see nude polygons, just don't download the mod or use an Action Replay. The ESRB rates the out of the box product, not something you get using a modification. |

It's not the ESRB's fault because this wasn't even supposed to be in the game. However, Rockstar was lazy and left the code sitting around, and now it has been exploited. Silly Rockstar, always begging for controversy. |

I'm dissipointed in Rockstar. They should have known better to leave that kind of content in that game. I can respect freedom of creativity, but this is screwed up so badly. Hopefully, R* will learn their lesson the next time this happens again.

Hopefully, R* will learn their lesson the next time this happens again. Let's hope so. Personally, I hated San Andreas. And either way, this doesn't exactly appeal to anyone with half a brain. But I do know one thing: Jack (Ass) Thomas will have a field day, and do the "Happy Dance." |

Stupid Rockstar. Not only did their game get taken off shelves, but now the news will probably attract the goverment, leading to even more problems with the rating system.

Oh, definitely. Know what? I'm going to just say that... Um... HA HA HA! LOSERS! LOSERS!Every last one of you!! Rockstar, you thought you were SO smart and SO clever! Freedom of speech, huh! Freedom of, what, EXPRESSION, you say?! What a bunch of losers! They laughed all the way to the bank and then, THIS happens! Whooooooops! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?! WA HA HA HA HA!! I HOPE YOU GO OUT OF BUSINESS! FINALLY! NO MORE OVERRATED GTA GAMES!! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!! EAT IT!!
... uh... heh... hoo... Now that THAT is out of my system, I'm going to say that people like Rockstar have a twisted definition of the word "freedom". They apparently don't think that freedom is synonimous (is that how you spell it?) with responsibility. So, they end up putting garbage in it simply because they think that, somehow, something that perverted and vulgar is apart of our freedom of speech and expression. Our forefathers didn't include porn or sex in the freedoms they gave us. Rockstar needs to realize that... And the fact that they seriously need to make a NEW game that isn't just a game released 5 years ago with minor improvements.

I'll link a full Wikipedia page on him in a bit, the guy is nuts. |
