This is exactly what we need

we need "gangstas" fighting each other in project-esque settings while hip hop is blasting in the background. What type of stereotype is this sending to the youth? I'm not talking about the high-school/college kids who play this, I'm talking about the younger kids whose parents a)Don't give a damn what their children do or b)Care about their children but lack the incentive to do anything about it. These kids are still very impressionable and don't need games where beating the crap out of other people is the main objective.

What? Why did they delete that one guys post, there was nothing in it that was as bad as anything I had to say. Boo.

Oh and by the way, I'm 19 and currently children-less (I think). My only concern about the game is not the violence but the people who are actually fighting. I enjoy Tekken or Street Fighter, but those games don't pose rappers with hammers on the streets fighting one another. Think of the message its sending EVERYBODY, not just the kids. We already have enough stereotyping on the news where every violent act is followed by a mugshot of a "thug".

I guess I'm just rambling now. I just hope people enjoy the game for what it is and that those people don't turn the game into reality.
