I’m lucky enough to play my games on a high end gaming PC, this affords me certain benefits in games like extra features and increased fidelity, generally across the board. More often than not, PC games are also generally cheaper than their console counter parts, that is however, not the case for Grand Theft Auto 5 if you live in India.

Last night, the retailing prices for GTA V went live on Games The Shop, listing the game at INR 2499. That’s around $41 and £25 here in Ireland. Granted, that’s still rather low in some parts of the world but in India it’s a rather steep pricing bracket for a game, costing nearly as much as it’s 8th gen console counter parts.

Certain retailers are rather surprised by the games pricing, and we’re not quite sure why the game is so strangely priced, but we can only hope it’s an error and is soon rectified. But this is wishful thinking at best. We recently reported that the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game will be priced at 3499 INR which makes the PC version as expensive as its console counterparts.

There are some real characters in GTA V, I don’t mean that literally, of course. Well, I do mean that literally, because everyone in the game is a work of fiction. Anyway, what I am getting at is some of these characters embody the most ridiculous stereotypes and some of the most outrageous and entitled attitudes that hopefully, none of us ever have to deal with in the real world.

When it’s presented to us in the form of a game like Grand Theft Auto it’s hilarious. At the same time if we were to run into characters like this in the real world we might think they’re weird, crazy, or even worse. A violent psychopath whose only real purpose in life is to make others feel terrible. Thankfully though, most people aren’t like this and GTA’s characters remain a carefully craft of satire and pure ridiculousness.

Tracy:

Michael’s entitled, pop-culture, girl from hell, daughter is a real treat. With her as a daughter and the way the rest of Michael’s family is, it’s no wonder he went back to a life of crime. We’ve probably met, or at least spotting a person like this out in the wild in our real lives.

They are absolutely maddening to deal with, or even to simply observe at times. In a world like GTA though, she fits just perfectly. Her obsession to be famous, and yet completely talent-less certainly makes for a few great missions in the latest installment in the series. This daddy’s girl grew up to be an attention seeking individual whose selfish, stupid actions are almost guaranteed to entertain you.
