I've been playing GTA 5 for the first time this month. So far, the game has impressed, amused and disgusted me (with Trevor, that is). It's entertaining!
This reminds me of a related long read about GTA IV (and cocaine): Video games: the addiction by Tom Bissell in The Guardian, that I apparently never posted, but appreciated enough to remember today.
Outside of the inarguably violent missions, it is not what GTA IV asks you to do that is so morally alarming. It is what it allows you to do.
