If Final Fantasy is for nerds what would you call the group that loves scar face/GTA so much?AgileNate

Slow. Not that intelligent people don't like GTA. It's just that the biggest, most die-hard fans, the kids who play it every day for years, are.... somewhat slow.

I'm from Japan, and you would be surprised that GTA: San Andreas has actually enjoyed a fair amount of success in Japan.

Before GTA: San Andreas came out officially, I knew of some people who bought the US version of the game (at stores that import them) and then played them on their modded PS2s. I recall one person saying some along the lines of, "Hmmm... so this is what America is like." LOL

He's right, GTA is an over-exaggerated spoof of life in big American cities.

Umm..I don't get it. How does playing GTA: San Andreas constantly make you "somewhat slow" and being die-hard fans for any other game doesn't? Where are you stats backing this up?
