I respect his opinion, even though I have no problem with violence in video games. If you have a beef with the violence level in videogames today, then I hope you share the same sentiments for the movie / TV industries as well, which IMHO are just as bad if not worse than the violence in videogames.
Videogame violence is (for the most part) over-the-top and borderline cartoonish, like a cheesy 80's B-grade horror flick. Mainstream Hollywood movies and TV shows these days however depict a level of visceral violence that sometimes makes even myself cringe a bit, especially shows like Game of Thrones, which I love but my god there are some violent and graphic scenes in that show that videogames just cannot touch.
Compared to the fate that the one redhead hooker (I can't remember her name at the moment) suffered at the hands of Joffrey a few episodes back, shooting hookers in GTA is mere child's play.
