I'll keep it short and simple. Stop making games that take place in the "hood". I live in the "hood" and none of us give a damn about games like 25-to-Life or 187 Ride or Die. We wouldn't even care about GTA: SA if the other GTA games weren't so great. No one here likes True Crime either, okay? Just make good games! We don't care if the character lives in Detroit or Paris.
