Post by: Sirricharic on June 30, 2008, 04:00:06 am
I play San Andreas but i cant not notice the negative sterotypes that it makes about South Central LA i should know i live there i live in Compton and its not nearly as violent as it is Depicted in San Andreas There is alot of crime but all of it isnt in South Central its in Los Angeles in General LA County is About like 40 sq miles and often every thing that bad happens is often close to South Central or in South Central or in some cases no where near it but it is still "LA Watts Area" When it could be LA Gardena Compton Dominguez Torrance Baldwin Hills or South Gate.

lol I know!
Besides What Park is Glen park supposed to represent?
At first I thought it was Echo Park. What I wouldve really loved to see wouldve been East LS(Boyle Heights)Being seperated from Downtown
By a riverbed like IRL.

game or not. it shouldn't, but what doesn't? your opinion on a certain matter is probably misleading. humans can't help but judge :)

Use dots. I don't think you can say all of that in one sentence... :redface:

If he's moaning about a game not being realistic, I don't think he knows about punctuation...

I know its not realistic but it sets a negative sterotype about black people there is always a sterotype that black males are gang bangers and stuff but the game doesnt have to feed to the image

Have you played True crime street of LA.
I hate it cause the city map was so realistic that I was always getting lost.

What im saying is that why do they have to make it so it seems like certain people are bad guys like why do they feed into sterotypes like that its demeaning to me

Actually.

I agree on this one..

They do make out the "African-Americans" to be bad...

but the game is based on LA. a REAL LIFE CITY

so, technically, its a game. but its blown it into a porportion..


so, yeah LD

Again, try True Crime LA
There's even hooker in hollywood boulevart and I'll not even mention that going through comptons will get you lot of work(you're a cop in that game).

No, Glen Park is based on Echo Park. Kelly Park is just a neighborhood in Compton, and Ganton is based on Compton so it wouldn't make any sense.

Well in GTA III there was one black guy. Eight ball.. And all the italians are mafia bosses chopping people with big ass axes.. Noone complained about that :P

Its a game about gang bangers! We dont want to see any good people in these games!


You dont have time to see or judge peoples skin color when you drive over them or shooting them with a rocket launcher..
