WhileGTA 5is one of the most commercially successful games ever, it has not been without issues. In particular, the “By the Book” mission of the game puts players in a tough situation where they have to torture a character to extract information. This became a topic of controversy, with some fans even demanding the mission be removed from the game.
What’s interesting is that the same mission that landedGTA 5in controversy is the same type of gameplay thatCall of Dutygot away with many times. In fact, 46 instances inCall of Dutycould have gotten it in trouble. Nevertheless, Rockstar might have to rethink the gameplay if they have anything related to torture in the upcomingGTA 6.
Call of Duty Might Have Escaped Criticism for Showing Torture, But Trevor, from GTA 5, Did Not
In the game’s“By the Book”mission, Michael and Trevor are tasked with extracting information from a man named Mr. K, who is suspected of having information about a terrorist. On the surface, this might seem a straightforward mission, but this is the same quest thatbrought a lot of criticism to the game. This is because Trevor has to torture Mr. K using various tools at his disposal.

Trevor beats the victim with a wrench, uses a plier to extract teeth, and even electrocutes him. Of course, the mission doesn’t project a pretty sight, and that was the reason the game was heavily criticized.
On the other hand,Call of Dutyhas a long history of showing torture in the game. InModern Warfare 3, the player assumes the role of Yuri, who partners with Captain Price and Soap MacTavish during the “Blood Brothers” mission. At one point in the mission, Price and Yuri capture an enemy combatant known as Waraabe and torture him brutally to extract some information.
There are several other instances where aCall of Dutygame has crossed the line of what one would consider morality. The infamous “No Russian” inModern Warfare 2is notoriously famous because you assume the role of an undercover CIA operative who participates in a terrorist attack at a Russian airport, resulting in the mass killing of civilians.
Is Grand Theft Auto 6 Going to Test Its Luck by Adding a Gruesome Mission?
It’s hard to say ifGrand Theft Auto 6will include a mission where players have to indulge in a torture session. However,given the nature ofthefranchise, it’s not hard to believe. A city filled with gangsters, mafias, and corrupt law enforcement could lead to a situation where the player has to do the unthinkable.

Ideally, it would be better for Rockstar not to add any such mission. However, in case they do go ahead with it, an option to skip the whole scene will definitely make it better. Regardless, reducing over-the-top violence could make the game more appealing to a mass audience.
It’s worth noting that whileCall of Dutyhad the luxury of bypassing objections, the same cannot be said forGrand Theft Auto 5.Hence, Rockstar needs to be very careful with how it approaches any sensitive content.
