GTAV Not just hookers
I'm interested in doing a review actually there are some weird ideas about GTAV that all you do is kill hookers or the game asks you "do you want to kill the hooker now?" and your given a "choice". The entire point of a sandbox environment like Skyrim or GTA is it gives you agency and content. Don't like crafting in Skyrim, don't craft. Don't like picking up hookers, then don't. GTA is a commentary on the vapidity and superficiality of LA just like GTAIV was commentary on New York's brashness. It's also a commentary on America post the GFC and housing crisis. Check out the house next door to Franklin that's foreclosed or has an eviction notice. There's this dismissive idea that GTAV has nothing to say about society and is rather dim. If it were a movie or tv show it would be treated differently.
It is, by its own admission, commentary on everything from classism, to sexism, to racism, to image and propoganda, to haves and have nots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-xHcvug3WI
But you know let's focus on the hookers. That's all the game is right?
Anyway i'm done, the game defends itself.
