It's like ya want the game to get delayed so badly. Very odd of ya! (Those who keep saying it is) Ya aren't real fans. Unless Rockstar officially confirms it, it is still being released Fall 2025.

Its the media trying to push and pass this narrative. GTA 3 is the first in the series I played (and first overall violent game I played; Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks being the second) and I never had violent thoughts or actions. Its easier for the media to place the blame on video games then to state the actual reasoning behind the acted out violence.

Good on them not minimizing the game! At this point I'm convinced it's the media trying to push the "violent video games generates violence" narrative, with a handful of parents actually beliving this. Its easier for them to pass the blame around rather then own up to why such violence occurred to begin with/discover the true source. GTA 3 is the first game in the series I played (I think around 2006, which would make me 5 at the time) and I have never done violent things or had violent thoughts. There is zero correlation between violent video games and real-life actions.
