GTA 5 controversial torture mission was ‘so unnecessary’ according to fans

To say thatGTA Vhas its fair share of the controversial moments would be an understatement, in particular when it comes to the infamous torture mission.

That being said, without its controversy, theGrand Theft Autoseries wouldn’t be what it is today, and we fully expect the upcomingGTA VIto have its fair share of “I can’t believe they went there” moments too. Bring it onRockstar Games, I say.

The player can use a variety of torture techniques to extract information (despite that information being very questionable) such as waterboarding, electric shocks using a car battery, pulling out teeth or simply beating the suspect with a wrench.

“If I had knownGTA Vhad a torture scene, I don’t think I would’ve bought this game… there’s literally no reason to make a player torture an NPC. It should’ve been skippable, that was unnecessary,”tweeted8lackswan_ttv.

“TheGTA Vtorture scene is so brutal and excessive. That was so unnecessary, why does it take that long?”exclaimedmadvllainy.

“GTA Vin the scene where you have to torture someone to progress. It seemed gratuitous and unnecessary at the time, and it kind of is really, but with hindsight, it serves as a reminder that characters in GTA aren’t fun, nice people who happen to be crooks,”saidonion2k.

At the end of the day, it’s personal preference as to what we find acceptable in video games as individuals. However, to play devil’s advocate, I’d say that this infamous torture scene not only sets the tone for how scummy the FIB agent is but also the lengths that Trevor and Michael are willing to go to for power.
