Why is there such a fuss about these games. All they are about is beating up people and killing them
What is so good about a game when the story is to beat up people, how original is that?
I just can't see why some people are so obsessed that they go out and buy a Playstation 2 just for the GTA games. It is just an excuse for an obscene amount of violence, I don't care but I think it is over the top. It is hardly surprising that video games get such a bad reputation of being "unethical" with games like this around
I am not someone who minds about violence in video games but you have to be really sick/twisted to appreciate setting a cat on fire while feeding it (Courtesy of Postal 2). It is just a bit sad that developers can make games that rely soley on violence that ACTUALLY impress the public.It may not be the general opinion of the "public eye" but I just do not see the appeal of these games. I am not lecturing fans of the series(s) only asking what do people find so fascinating?
Postal 2 is just tto sick for me with the puke/blood effects. i have played GTA3 and GTA:Vice City at my mates house and it was good, but I can't imagine spending by hard earned cash to go out and actually buy it.It was quite fun only I really wouldn't buy a Playstation 2 just for this series as it is just too boring/similar.
Also all the missions on GTA 3 seem to feature some explicit thing or beating up some random person. It isn't my PERSONAL taste. There are some exceptions, though , with that remote controlled car mission thing and some "insane stunt bonuses".
They are not expensive, which I suppose is a kind of a lure. GTA3, GTA:Vice City and Postal 2 are hugely popular but this could be an element of sheep, following the crowd or looking cool.
Postal 2 isn't funny to me but some people seem to find this "adult" humour very amusing.

Anyway, not to preach or change your' opinion, just wanted to know what you like/hate about them and if they appeal to your taste(s)

I love em, I have a hunger for violent games, make of that what you will, but senseless killing of virtual people is a great stress reliever. It's probably because I watch too many films and the line between reality and fiction is becoming ever more blurred.
