Cant remember the last time I played gta tbh. Some years ago now. But not really. It got fairly boring fairly quickly hitting a hooker in that game back in 2004. I think the main reason I found it funny then was also because of how the media was treating it. Hard to explain if you werent old enough to remember it. But countless magazines, TV stations etc, all were fucking crying about that aspect of it. "muh you can sleep with a hooker, beat her with a bat and take your money back".
I preferred to just see how much carnage I could cause and then try to see how long I could survive with all they could throw at me. Outside of the missions ofc, that was probably the more interesting part. Setting yourself your own targets.
