I’ve never made a video game before, and referring to my understanding of video game mechanics as “amateur” would be generous. But, I imagine it would have been simpler to directly alter the controversial content in a way that makes it blurred or otherwise skewed, rather than creating a smudge and placing it on top of the content. It seems kind of like they went a bit out of their way to preserve the content there.

Which would be totally cool if you ask me, i think censorship is an outdated concept, but it doesn’t speak very well of Rockstar’s genuine intentions, does it?

i agree 100%, kids already can’t buy the games in most states unless they are 18 or older, at which point its really up to them anyways, and if you, as a parent, buy your kid a game like this, then its your fault for what they see, and most importantly, what they do with what they see.

implementing a ratings system, and then putting laws in place that prevent kids from getting a hold of the worst content is really about the best you can do, getting pissed because some dick hacked his PSP and a video game’s code to see all of the gore, well that truly is the beginnings of an Idiocracy
