And unlike other franchises, the violence of ''GTA'' tends to show us some ''[[TruthInTelevision very realistic]]'' horrors of the drug world such as torture, corruption and {{Mob War}}s. The list is so large that Creator/RockstarGames would make ''Creator/HPLovecraft'' facepalm in comparison.

** One of the missions for the Russian Mafia require the player to deliver a bus full of Hare Krishnas to a hot dog factory, where they are ''ground alive and turned into hot dogs''. Then the player is tasked with delivering a van full of hot dogs made out of human meat to a [[ImAHumanitarian Diner]]. This is quite possibly the most messed up mission in the whole GTA franchise!
*** It gets worse. The PC version of the game has the player take a bus full of ''innocent pedestrians'' to the meat factory.
