Today I played a few more missions in GTA: San Andreas. In one of the missions I had to go beat up some crack dealers. I’m not too sure why but it was still fun. I got to beat them up with baseball bat. In a way it is reasonable to beat up crack dealer because they are bad but it’s ironic because my character isn’t so good himself. After that mission I got a phone call from one of my “home boys” telling me that I had to buy clothes to represent my “hood”.
Overall I like the concept of GTA but this one is super cheesy. It could be because the game came out a long time ago. For example, when my character picked up his phone, I noticed that it was one of those brick phone. I am also use to playing on the xbox rather than the PC. I barely found out today that the space bar makes you run faster. I dislike the way the camera works in this game. I changed the invent camera option and it helped a tiny bit but it was still difficult to use.

As I was playing GTA: San Andreas, I tried to stay focused on learning how to play the game as well as discovering the violent aspect of the game’s storyline. In the beginning, after the first cut scene, I got on a bike and rode around aimlessly for a while, running people over. Eventually, I decided to figure out what the controls of the game were. Since I was playing the game on my laptop, I found the controls to be a little confusing. After ten minutes, it eventually got easier.
The storyline of San Andreas centers around CJ, a guy who comes back to his childhood home after spending time in jail to bury his mom. His welcome back home is soon cut short; however, when the police arrest him and drive him back to his neighborhood. Back at his neighborhood, I got to meet CJ’s crew, who made me do missions for them. These missions revolved around robbing fast food restaurants, shooting other gang members, and trying to stay alive on the streets.
So, we fought and I won and then went around the town punching people in the face until the police were after me and eventually wasted me. I got bored of that so I decided to do the first mission. “My gang” and I had to ride away from I think were the rival gang. As we were riding on our bikes, they were in their car and one of them was shooting me which was completely unfair for the beginning of the game because all I could do was ride away from them quickly. Then there was a second mission where we had to “tag” the other gang’s territory. I got up to the point where I had to spray paint a wall that was near the enemy. I still did not have any kind of weapons yet other than my first. Well, that’s what I thought at first. My first intention was to use the spray can and that’s when I discovered that they do take damage from it.
The reason why I initially thought of using the spray can as a weapon was because of the setting of the game, the way the characters talk and act and all the violent influences the game possesses. Since I have played GTA before, I did not feel guilty when running over innocent people. The very first time I played GTA, however, I did everything in my power to follow the law and not break rules because I was scared of the consequences until I got to one mission. It required me to kill the enemy and no matter what I do to avoid getting in trouble with the police they would show up anyways because that is the way the game was made. This is one of the reasons I do not see GTA to be very ethical.
