The ERSB has revised the rating of GTA san andreas for all platforms and given it an AO (adults only) rating. Many retailers will not carry AO games and therefore the game is being recalled. A new version without the sex acts will be availble in the 4th quarter.

It all started because Rockstar left in some broken and hidden code which contains your character having sex with women in different postions. The mod for the PC version was called "Hot coffee mod". It then was discovered that with the use of an Action replay device , you could expose the same sex minigames in Ps2 and xbox as well.

So you can beat your wife dead, run her over and set her on fire, but having sex with her makes the game unacceptable??

Screw them!

Politics have played a HUGE roll in this with Hillary clinton getting involved.

it makes me laugh that the sex is what offends people....i for one love the game, but if i had kids wouldn't let them anywhere near it...

They are going to sell so many copies of that game, with or with out sex in it.

This article should help you out: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/07/15/news_6129301.html">http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/07/15 ... 29301.html</a><!-- m --> It really depends on what version you are playing, the easiest way is if you have the PC ver. you just have to download a patch from the net. The ps2 ver. will take a little more work.

you just want to know how to access it for academic research purposes, right? :lol:

Search the net for a utility called "Hot Coffee" with GTA as part of the search string and you should find what you're looking for. I saw it as a link or topic on a gaming website I frequent.

For the record I do not own the game and never will. GTA and games like GTA are an insult to human intelligence. Glorifying and promoting theft, violence against police and sexual assault of women just disgusts me.
The new Adult Only rating won't really matter unless it's enforced by law and not by each store's policy. Parents need to be more aware of what their kids are playing on their computers or doing in general.

A game that depicts and glorifies REAL violence against law enforcement, women and society. No thanks. Why in the hell do you think they recalled it and made it Adult Only? Give me a break. :roll:

War games (that I play anyways CoD, MoH, BiA) DO NOT glorify war. They depict the hell in which brave unselfish men and women endured in our history to preserve peace and stop those who wish to dominate societies and countries. Hardly a comparison. GTA is just shock value, needless violence that serves NO purpose.

I personally quite enjoy video games and violent ones at that (Doom1,2,3 etc). But games like GTA are useless and serve no purpose other than degrade and insult human intelligence.

Enjoy your "game" :roll:

i was kinda wondering if i should post this link or not, but i guess you can decide if you want to watch it or not....

pretty cheesy if you ask me, and apparently for the amount of time it takes to unlock the "hot coffee" why not just go search for porn on the internet and save yourself the hassle

No those games glorify war, those games don't even come close to depicting what war was like. Christ it is a video game. To compare a video game to wht war is actually like is pathetic. Pick up a few books and learn what war was really like. Try All Quiet on the Western Front, or many of the Great Time life books on WWII.
The war games still glorify killing people.
