Nine Reasons Why Los Angeles is a Bad Setting for Grand Theft Auto V

A rumour has recently erupted from VG247, claiming that the next Grand Theft Auto game: GTA V may be set in the City of Angels in the form of Los Santos.
But I think that isn’t such a good idea, here’s why.
  1. You thought Roman calling you up in the middle of a firefight, wanting to get drunk was annoying? Wait until all of your friends call you up wanting you to read their script.
  2. Los Angeles is the “City of Angels”, well, about 30% of it is, who would wants to play in the other 70% of L.A?
  3. If the in-game weather cycle turns to rain, your game crashes. When you reboot the game, all it will show is weather warnings.
  4. In the worst ever final boss battle, you will be forced to protect your gay friend who is trying to get married from Arnold Schwarzenegger and his army of conservative “family values” Terminators in Downtown Los Angeles.
  5. You will only have one safe house in the city, and will spend the entire game paying off the mortgage for it.
  6. You will be forced to travel by bus for the first half of the game, as gas prices are too high.
  7. When you do finally get a car, however, you will be forced to pay for any damage caused by potholes.
  8. Or, in an exciting new mini-game, try and claim some money back by negotiating government call centers.
  9. No matter how much you want it, even Rockstar won’t take advantage of the opportunity to introduce “Celebrity Slayer” mode. Which is a shame, because running down Britney Spears in a pimped out Cadillac would have been fun.
I suppose on the plus side, getting your hands on weed will be easier than ever, thanks to the city’s numerous Marijuana dispensaries.
So there you have it, why I think that Los Angeles is not such a great setting for the next GTA game. Either way, hopefully we’ll know for sure soon.
