In this Topic discussion instalment of LGR, join Andy, Mark and Cev in an examination of how the GTA franchise has almost single handedly changed the landscape of gaming. The trio also look at the wider social impact of the series and ponder whether its legacy has been damaged. Finally, the panel go all ‘Mystic Meg’ as the crystal ball comes out as they speculate where the series might go next: GTA - Breaking Bad anyone? As fans and consumers of GTA, these are our subjective opinions regarding whether this cultural phenomenon has been a positive or negative influence, we would welcome your own thoughts on this topic through the usual LGR email or social media channels.
