Many video games are known for having crudeand inappropriate material, but does this update from 'Grand Theft Auto V' take it too far? The n-word had to be censored 15,000 times before 'GTA V' was released at the London Comic Con.

The voice actors who play the characters Franklin and Lamar recorded their dialogue naturally, but the racial profanity was too excessive for Rockstar Games, the company who produced the series.

"We just went crazy. That's just how we talk, we don't mean it in a racist way. That's just how we grew up," Shawn Fonteno, who voices Franklin, said, according to NowThis.

'GTA V' was originally written by British writers and was later approved by Americans with a stronger understanding of the US dialect. When it came to editing, the creators had to put a limit on the number of swear words each character could say.

'Grand Theft Auto' is rated M for mature audiences only.
