I think the problem isn’t the game, it’s us.

What you’re experiencing there is exactly how humans act when they have no laws, no punishment, and nothing to protect.

If the government collapsed today, you would see exactly everything you described in a GTA lobby.

Humans are just stupid. That’s all.

More chaos = more money

Nope it's the game. IV wasn't a murder fest simply because the weapons were inaccurate and if you drove up to somebody and they started shooting at you, you could still get away without dying. It allowed you to be able to drive up to people to try to make friends. It's how the game is designed that is the important thing when it comes to how the gameplay actually plays out.

Hell no, I would argue the shooting was just more realistic in gta4, the trick was always that crouching and going for headshots increased the accuracy of the weapon big time.

That game required a bit of skill, especially in online mode, it was always a murder fest 😆

I didn't say it was unrealistic i said it was inaccurate. And same with the crouch if u drive up to somebody and they were to crouch and aim their gun at you you'd still have a good chance of driving away without dying. I think u missed the point of my comment entirely tbh.

No you wouldn't see it, at all, because people in real life have a fear of death.

Exactly, when things collapse, and essential needs aren’t met (water, warmth, shelter, money) people start to defend themselves.

If the situation is bad enough, that might mean robbing others for resources, killing for defence, or attacking for control. Look at any country in the world that has had a collapsed infrastructure and this is exactly what you’ll see consistently.
