Why is it always set in America?
Is it because crime is pretty much non-existent outside of the US?
>>
>>378107118
because literally noone would be able to drive through the city if it was set in london

What is GTA: London

Guns are harder to come by in civilised countries so the combat would have to be more hand to hand focused like sleeping dogs.
>>
You know that's a stupid thing to say, and yet you said it
>>
>>378107320
which honestly turned out okay though. Sleeping Dogs was a pretty good game.
>>
>>378107118
Because Rockstar is an American company and the theme of gta is to make fun of what's happening in America at the time
>>
>>378107285
something that Americans say was "just a spinoff" and "not legitimate reasoning to have a game outside of the US because it wasnt a real game"

Nice try

every foreigner I see is fucking retarded, they can't even find where to throw trash when it's directly in front of them

>Rockstar is an American company

Rockstar North Limited is a British video game developer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the primary developer of the Grand Theft Auto series and contributed to Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3. As DMA Design, it created the original Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings. It is a subsidiary of Rockstar Games, owned by Take-Two Interactive.

>>378107118
Because every other country is ugly and empty as shit. The purpose is to have gangs in the city. Not tribes in the forest.
>>
>>378107540
Yeah, you would have to be quite retarded to find a place to throw your trash away in America, considering the whole country is a trashcan.

To non-Americans, the entire GTA series is nothing but pure, unadulterated, smug mockery of the United States, so they buy it and laugh at "those stupid Americans" like the smug elitists they are, probably under the impression that most Americans are too retarded to understand that Grand Theft Auto is actually mocking them.

Americans themselves can understand that Grand Theft Auto is, in fact, satire intended to poke fun at the United States, and, to the surprise of most Eurocucks, most Americans don't care and can appreciate the game's humor.
>>
>>378107118
Rockstar like taking the piss out of American culture.
>>
Only set in US since no one else can take bants like Americans. I doubt the folka at Rockstar don't want to get beheaded for setting it anywhere in Europe, anyway.
>>
>>378107217
but 3 of their games had california as a setting
>>
It's all about pop culture. America and American cities have much more recognisable pop cultural stuff which can be used in a gangster game than any city in Europe.
>>
>>378107118
because the world of GTA is not plausible outside of the US. No other nation has such a level of militarized police and militarized citizens. Maybe the next best place would be some shithole in Africa; a nation that's just a bunch of warlords?
>>
>>378107118
Easier for satire.

>>378107465
we need more ching chong gta's, they can get pretty brutal

Literally nothing you said is correct whatsoever. It's literally just your own delusional smugness. Good job, fag
>>
>>378108843

I agree. I find it strange that the rest of the world tends to view America as so crazily patriotic. Americans seem more accepting of satire and criticism against their country than almost anyone else.
>>
I often say that russia is like gta online so a gta in russia would surprisingly fit well

If it was in the UK you'd just get stabbed when you walk outside

If it took place in Europe you'll die from constant suicide bombers.

I mean, isn't' the main reason that more people are IN the US and thus more money to be made?

Eh, no, it's some projected bullshit. Are the Americans really that insecure to think that Euros think of themselves as high and mighty and laugh at Americans all the time considering them morons who can't even understand when they are getting satirised? Get over yourself.
>>
>>378115735
French can't drive for shit. Nearly every car I've seen there had dents and scratches.

That's probably one of the fewer statistics that can't be extrapolated from a minority.

i wonder how many more copies they sold on social club. it's gonna be at least another 3-5m or so.

I made a mistake of accidentally getting the SC version. Don't even have anyone else to blame, it was my own fault for not reading the small print on GMG when they they were having a sale.
