Hmpth. Conversely, while playing GTAV in completely innocent explore-the-world mode, I accidentally bumped a police boat with my jetski. Apparently this warranted being shot in the head.
Most reviews I've read actually complain that GTAV is a step back in realism from GTA4 (for example, body-part specific injuries were dropped), but let's not beat about the bush - no GTA deserves the title of "realistic", because as you say "it's GTA and you have to shoot everyone, duh". They're made to feel realistic, but in fact they powerfully reward violence and punish being law-abiding, in precisely the opposite way that the real world does.
