    Too much

    I bought it because I had 14 cents left on my account, but I gotta be real, I'm not sure why this is posted. Looks like a flash game with some shoddy screenshots and blatant advertising for their website even in the logo.

    But (profanity) it, 7 cents is 7 cents.

    Edit: Oh God, now there's more 7 cent games, but I only have 7 cents left. I better pick carefully.

        Thanks for the reminder. I've got some left over rubles from the forza 7 deal. Just need a few more cheap games to use up the rest now.

      When I was a kid the idea of mobile phones having so much processing power to spare and people could effortlessly make these kind of games and give them away for free, it would have seemed like fantasy. Kids today take these kind of graphics as a minimum standard for granted.

      Haha, I came here to post that.

    The Petula Clark soundtrack is legit anyway.

    This game might actually be good for little children who are too young to even see GTA, but who really want to play it anyway. Even to toddlers the appeal of GTA is obvious, it's looks like a convincing virtual city on your TV. Granny Theft Auto could be a safe way to fulfil that primordial need all males have to play GTA.

    • Honestly, not a bad argument.

      I mean, I know more girls who play GTA than dudes, but otherwise 10/10 agree.

      Of course, Lego City is the better game if you want a kid friendly GTA clone, but Lego City ain't seven cents.

  • I just can't get my head around how this game is on xbox one tho? like, there's no indie section like on the 360, so this was legit released? how? lol? does it have achievements? ive had my xb1 since day 1 and ive never seen anything like this in the library!

  • I just bought this.. playing it now. There's no achievements! there's no muffin counter, no pause button, no menu, you can get into 1 car (your blue car) you can't steal others. A useless mini map. There aren't many muffins to collect anyway… should've been a free game!

    • yeah i just played it too. Had to change region to US to see it in ready to install which is expected, but yeeah wtf? as i said above, i had no idea xb1 had trash like this, i mean i knew PS4 had life of black tiger and stuff but this is the first time ive seen such junk on xbox one, truly bizarre

      Bankyy, you can steal cars. It's all you can do, but you can do it.

      Iggemo, the Xbox has waaaaay more shit like this than the PS4 does, ever heard of UWP? Microsoft will tell you it stands for Universal Windows Platform and that it's there to port over pretty much any old junk from PC, but it actually stands for U Want Pathetic-god-awful-shit-to-clog-the-entire-store-up-on-your-console.

      • I tried for like 10 minutes to steal other cars but nothing was happening when I was pressing "X" and i just gave up… :(

        • I mean, the game isn't super well made, so I wouldn't be surprised if you can't chase down a car and take it while it's moving, but I had no trouble standing in front of a car, making it stop, and taking it for a spin.

          I drove a cop car, a school bus, a few bikes, the first car you get, and some other crap in the 5 minutes or so I played it with no problems. Kinda bummed they didn't spring for a siren on the cop car at least, but oh well.

      • im familiar with the concept of UWP but had no idea about this kinda stuff. So there's more dumpster fires you say? LEL.. is there anywhere to see those games? Like is there a catalogue anywhere or anything?

        Also, is there any actual decent games coming across from UWP? I don't care about the PC side as i dont play any games on PC.

        FWIW the game worked for me, i even made a short YouTube clip (btw there was none on YouTube other than a "trailer" from the dev lel)

        I mean, it kinda sorta works i guess but there's really no "game" or objective or anything as far as i can tell? I'm just flabbergasted by this, i really am, that this exists and is playable on XB1. Mindblown.gif

    I just fired it up for a laugh and I'll give it this, Granny Theft Auto is at least a (mostly) functional game.

    You can carjack people, so the auto theft part is accurate. You can run around with no sprint option, so the granny part is also accurate.

    There's some looping music that plays through the whole thing and there's no combat or guns or anything, but there's a reasonably sized open world and the car handling is definitely not the worst I've ever seen in a game (though far from the best, obviously), I mean. It works. It's made for one of those online flash game site style things, and as a little flash game it's good enough to play for 5 minutes while you're bored in grade 3 or something, but not much more. I mean, for 7 cents and with the tiny install size, I'm actually gonna leave it installed on my Xbox if only for a laugh.

    Ultimately, Unity and similar free engines have made so many shitty little games like these possible, and yeah, they're shitty, but if even one person for every 100 of these shitty games made gets into the industry and starts working on "real" games, well I think that's great.

    tl;dr it's functional and for 7 cents it's worth a laugh, definitely paid more for worse games in the past.

    Also, I wish I could upvote this again. I did yesterday, but accidentally hit the revoke button, and now I can't re thumb up.

    Surely everyone's time is more important than 7c…
