Because they have an overrated franchise that they somehow can't lose on.

Is midnight club violent? I thought that was a racing game. Also L.A. Noire isn't all that violent.

Also they made a table tennis game and a music mixer game. I'm sure those are both super violent.

Oh right, and they had that game for thrasher- you know the skateboard thing. That's probably riddled with violence.

Responsible for making things not look like ass 
On his first day at Bullworth Academy, James "Jimmy" Hopkins (Gerry Rosenthal) befriends Gary Smith (Peter Vack) and Pete "Petey" Kowalski (Matt Bush), while also drawing the attention of resident lead bully Russell Northrop (Cody Melton). Gary takes Jimmy under his wing as a protégé, causing mischief and fighting bullies. However, Gary later sets up a fight between Jimmy and Russell, and admits that he has spread rumours about the former. After beating and befriending Russell, Jimmy notes Gary's disappearance from the school, establishing that he has betrayed him. Having become friends with Russell, Jimmy finds himself becoming increasingly popular.

Before long, Jimmy befriends the "Preppies", a group of arrogant rich kids who reject other students. However, Jimmy later finds himself at war with the Preppies after Gary tells them that Jimmy has spread rumours about them. To settle things, Jimmy challenges a member of the Preppies, beating him fairly in a boxing match. However, the group refuses to acknowledge this, forcing Jimmy to defeat every member, and ultimately become leader, of the Preppies. He later finds himself involved with the "Greasers", a group of delinquents who are the enemies of the Preppies. When the leader of the Greasers, Johnny Vincent (Rocco Rosanio), discovers that his girlfriend is having an affair with one of the Preppies, Jimmy helps them beat him up. This leads the Preppies to believe that Jimmy is untrustworthy; he regains their trust, unsettling the Greasers in the process. Johnny accuses Jimmy of being attracted to his girlfriend, which leads to Jimmy take over the Greasers turf, beating the group and reclaiming Johnny's friendship.

Jimmy soon finds that the "Jocks" are continuing to bully, and becomes determined to bring peace to Bullworth. To beat the Jocks, Jimmy must gain the trust of the "Nerds", who have turned against him. After beating their leader, Jimmy partners with the Nerds to sabotage the reputation of the Jocks. To do so, Jimmy embarrasses the girls and humiliates the school mascot, before sabotaging their home football game. He is forced to fight all the jocks on the field, eventually beating their leader; Jimmy has now brought peace to the school, and is respected by every group. However, after pulling a large prank, Jimmy's popularity begins to decline, and he is framed for various pranks throughout the school. Despite helping fix the problems, and obtaining proof that he is not the culprit, he eventually becomes hated upon by every group in the school. Gary soon snitches to the authorities, leading to Jimmy's expulsion from the school. Gary thus replaces Jimmy as the most respected in the school, furthered by becoming the school's head boy.

During his expulsion, Jimmy is targeted by the "Townies", teenagers who have abandoned school. However, he befriends one of them: Zoe Taylor (Molly Fox), who was expelled from Bullworth when she informed authorities about being sexually harassed by a teacher. Eventually, the two develop feelings for each other. Later, determined to clear his name, Jimmy breaks into the industrial complex. When the police arrive, Russell distracts them while Zoe helps Jimmy confront the leader of the Townies. After beating him and earning his respect, Jimmy soon learns that Gary forced the Townies into antagonising him. He soon discovers that Gary is running Bullworth with anarchy and chaos, taking the staff hostage. Deciding to put a stop to it, Jimmy ambushes Bullworth Academy and is forced to beat all the group leaders once again.

Jimmy chases Gary to the top of the school's bell tower and confronts him. Gary tells him that he overran the school "because [he] can", and arrogantly proclaims that he will win, regardless of anything. The two fight, ultimately falling through a skylight into the main office, with Gary knocked unconscious from the fall. The principal reveals that he overheard everything, expelling Gary from the school. Impressed at Jimmy's actions, he agrees to reinstate Zoe, and promote Petey to head boy. The game ends with Jimmy and Zoe kissing at the front steps of the school.


Now you don't have to play it.

Wow, I didn't know that. That's a piece of random trivia I'm actually glad to learn. Not sure what it says about nonviolence, though. (I seem to remember grinders and mass suicide)

They make other games that aren't violent fyi.

Remember Space Invaders where the player shoot down aliens? Did you know that alien families mourn their dead after the players slaughter when he/she isn't looking? much violent very sad

There's this game called Real Life. Far more violent than any of Rockstar's stuff. You should probably check it out at some point.

If whatever place you're living is more violent than GTA I'll probably stay away from there.

Real life has fantastic graphics though.

I'm fairly certain gangs don't run around with rocket launchers and take on military units when they're not prepared...and win.

They always just do their regular dumb shit and get arrested. They should take the extra mile and shoot them square in the goddamn eye sockets though, those scum.

You must live in a battlefield.

Am I the only one who tries to play Rockstar's games as non-violently as possible? I mean, Hell, most people will play the most peaceful games as violently as possible. You've probably never played Minecraft online where the server is free for all.
In any case, that 'hot coffee' scandal was only one thing and it was probably programmed by someone who had no girlfriend and wanted something to beat off to.
According to research, it was poorly animated and was disabled, only accessible via modifications or hacking. Again, likely scenario: Blue balled programmer.

I am not pure or innocent, it's just more fun to do a pacifist run.
Also, just to ensure everyone knew what word you were trying to say, and not trying to otherwise insult you, it's pacifistically.
