Goodbye San Andreas

**Chromer** · 07-21-2005, 09:01 AM

Guess what video game fans? GTA: SA has been pulled from shelves and will become te very first ever AO (Adults Only) game in history. Why? Due to the sexual/violent nature of the game, Congress has pushed to get this game to become an adults only gme for some time. Now, Rockstar games has been forced to remove the game from shelves until all of the games can be restickered wit the AO symbol. Here's a link for more details.

same thing happened with GTA 3 for PS2

Eyoshi · 07-21-2005, 10:53 AM

I'm don't GTA:SA wasn't the first game to be given an AO rating. Wasn't there a game rated AO published many years ago by 3DO?
But after all of the copies of GTA:SA get labeled AO, the game can't really be sold anymore. Retailers might be too afraid to sell them, or if they do, they'll just shelve far away from the cutsomer's eyes.

**Rebirth0** · 07-21-2005, 01:38 PM

Wow, I personally think it should stay rated M. It's a good thing I bought the game months ago.

evilbutterfly · 07-21-2005, 02:34 PM

Now my copy of GTA is rare.

SWEET!

**Chromer** · 07-21-2005, 05:26 PM

Oh no butterfly. Bloomberg Today has stated that with the finances of Rockstar with this change, trying to sell your copy of SA on Ebay won't net alot of money. Also, I bought a copy of the original game today at EB Games. A guy I know there was still selling them out back of the store.

I agree with gamepro. I believe it is getting that rating from that "Hot Cofee Mod", I don't think the game should get a AO rating becuase of that, they should have just left it the same as M rated and if you want the "Hot Cofee Mod" just download it somewhere.

go there and search for AO games.

so it's certainly not the first AO game, and also not the first console AO game...but that takes away from how "cool and hip" the game is, so let's keep that a secret from the media, mmmk?

EDIT: fixed the huge page stretching link.

That is the EXACT same thought that I had.

suicidalmuskrat · 07-22-2005, 04:57 PM

I think it'd be more rare if you hurried and bought one that had an AO rating. Seeing as they'll re-release the game, with the code completely gone, most likely...your version of the game is not rare at all. how many did they sell for the PS2? unless you have the xbox version (I don't even know if the mod works for that one, but that'd be much more rare, seeing as less of them sold)

tnyhwk900 · 07-22-2005, 05:10 PM

Uh, it's not rare at all. I'm sure 5 million+ copies have been sold.

**Chromer** · 07-22-2005, 10:14 PM

Its funny because Leisure Suit larry is an M rated game. Plus most of the games on the list aren't even known so that's why I'm saying SA is the first AO game because its well known and has sold millions.

suicidalmuskrat · 07-22-2005, 10:57 PM

Research dude. They re-realeased an AO version of leisure suit larry, available for purchase onine. I've actually seen it advertised a fair amount. And just because GTA is well known doesn't mean it's the first.

For the video if anyone doesn't know what the mod does.

Kaos_X · 07-23-2005, 10:02 PM

Rofl I watched the "hot coffe" vid...I can see why they made it AO but a kid isn't going to figure out how to mod there xbox or ps2 or pc...

suicidalmuskrat · 07-23-2005, 10:30 PM

I gurantee EVERY 12 year old with this game on the PC could download it and get it to work. Or plug in their Action Replay to their PS2 and enter in some digits. Not real tough stuff. You don't have to mod a damn thing.

**SpookG** · 07-24-2005, 01:18 AM

Fry's electronics still sells it. Only lesser wimps and pussies don't sell it. We put a sign out saying it's AO now, and we even put it on sale this weekend.

As for the Hot Coffee mod and the code itself, I feel there is no excuse for it even being there in the game. It seems gaming has come a long way from when I was kid, and I don't mind the violence but I don't understand why it was even coded to be a possible feature to begin with.

Leaving it in is Rockstar's fault and they should deal with whatever shit they recieve for it.

esupin · 07-24-2005, 06:49 AM

Back before ESRB ratings, Beat 'em and Eat 'em for the Atari 2600 was rated "adult".
As for Custer's Revenge...

Kaos_X · 07-24-2005, 09:40 PM

Yea I figured it out myself I did it on Xbox tho With Xbox AR and i'm 11 years old...I didnt know what it did it just said on the site...BEST CODE EVERR!!! so I downloaded it transfered it to my Xbox and the guy also said in the description to take your gf on GTA on a date. So I did and I think you guys know what happens next...I was like Holy #$%@...Reatrded to put that in a game my 5 year old cousin was in the room :/

suicidalmuskrat · 07-24-2005, 10:05 PM

You're 11? First of all, you shouldn't be in the forums, second of all, you shouldn't be playing that game.
