Am I the only one that never had problems running GTA IV? If anything I had problems running GTA V where only a few city block radius would load around me and the game would crash frequently. Maybe my potato is specially autistic gifted since it ran the Saints Row 2 PC port with no issues either.

I unironically see SWEGTA 41%ing himself sometime in the future, whether that be before or after titty skittles is the real question.

I’ve decided to get back into online and so far it’s been a decent experience since I’m playing with online friends making bootleg Modern Warfare 2 outfits and riding around in blacked out Patriots. It’s also fun redoing the heists, races, deathmatch, and also that Terrorist vs Spec Ops match. Overall I rate the game 7/10.

Glad I'm back in time to see the SWEGTA troon arc

 

[Raul Bloodworth]

Wasn't it called Hatred?

Hatred is probably closer to a Postal 1 successor than a Manhunt successor but as you can imagine, definitely some overlap

So when are we gonna have a SWEGTA lolcow thread?

GTA IV does run like shit, but I don't remember it ever crash in my end. As for GTA V, the crash may happen in case the latest patch or GTA Online weekly event fucks it up. There's no fix except wait for another weekly event cycle or update, then bite the bullet and see if the crash still appears.

Much like GTAForums is too niche, SWEGTA isn't popular enough to get his own thread I think.

We'll most likely just have to make due with laughing at his dumb shit in here

 

[Psyduck]

SWEGTA is like that coke junkie by the highway that you pass by on your way to work every day, amusing in small doses, but no one would care if he dies

 

[TVB]

Yeah, I feel as if SWEGTA is, at his worst, boring.

Nah, at his worst he's an annoying fag

At his best he is boring

If anything, I think it’s rather surprising that a current day person playing current day GTA is on the verge of someone questioning whether or not they want to be a biological male turned biological female.

Think about it: this never happens with Vice City or San Andreas. Even when GTA V was popular in it’s first few years, you still didn’t see the transgender craze hit that much then.

Just turn off night shadows and it runs fine.
Idk why night shadows tanks the frame rate.

It's like Rockstar gave up after GTA IV and feel they can never take their shit seriously again (besides RDR2). Even then IV had Gay Tony, which despite overall being more zany and light hearted than IV's main story, it still knew when to take itself seriously and had great scenes, especially between Luis and Tony. Now they feel the need to shoehorn as many "woah wacky zany annoying douchey" characters as possible into the story and do the worst thing with them, not even give you the option of shooting their asses at any point, unless it's at the ass end of the story after tons cutscenes dealing with their bullshit. This new guy feels like some fags bad self insert who desperately wants people to like his OC as much as people liked Trevor back in 2013.

I'd say RDR1 was the last really good story.

RDR2's is good on paper, but in practice, its pacing is terrible, an entire chapter could be entirely removed, and you'd lose nothing, characters are mishandled in a way that should've been easily avoided (Sadie anyone?), the game focuses more on developing new characters who don't even exist in the first game rather than the ones that do (Javier does so little he might as well not even be in RDR2), and more plotholes, and continuity errors involving the first game pop up the more you think about things.

funny thing is that both suffer from GTA4 railroading syndrome which in turn plagued rockstar like a metastasis cancer to be what it is today, the symptons of that terminal disease were on GTAIII.

Hell, at least with RDR1 you have the excuse of railroading stupidity being because your family is literally being held hostage.

On the other hand, RDR2 does technically have the excuse of being forced to railroad because it's a prequel, but even then, it fucks it up massively by introducing so many new characters that by the very premise of the first game, should at least be mentioned if not actually show up. The fact that they don't borders on making the games feel like they take place in different universes.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

RDR2 has some great characters in a fucking mess of a story.

It's honestly amazing it came out as decent as it did once you start looking into it and find out just how much shit was changed/removed during development. (Arthurs son dying in Colter, Arthurs baby mama being a member of the gang, Guarma supposed to be a full open world section, Arthur in New Austin, a romance subplot being removed weeks before release)

This was December 2020 when I had installed it, so maybe it was an update around then that messed with it. I'll give it another shot whenever I have space on my HDD for the game.

Holy shit someone else that agrees RDR2's story wasn't great, thank you. I mainly mentioned RDR2 simply because it wasn't super obnoxious with the goofy zany characters and at least tried to take shit seriously, but man did they drop the ball with a prequel to RDR1 (which is still one of my favorite games of all time). Javier in particular threw me off super hard, I mean ffs in 1 he straight up says he hopes John's wife and dead daughter burn in Hell (funnily he must still like Jack) and is overall a real slimeball bastard, meanwhile in 2 he's a way more chill, decent enough guy despite being a criminal outlaw, like yea it's been over 10 years and people change but that's some hugely drastic change. Bill and Dutch still feel consistent between the two games, even if they did make Bill more of a retard than a piece of shit in 2.

V and RDR2 were the worst culprits of this. How dare I, the player, decide to use my own mind to come up with a strategy for this mission that ever so slightly deviates from how the jackass developer intended.

Hell, not even all that.

According to rumor, Micah was originally supposed to be a good guy in the beginning who just got so disillusioned with gang life he turned on it in the end. I love Micah just for how cartoonishly evil he is, but damn, imagine how much more impactful that original characterization would've been.

Javier in particular threw me off super hard, I mean ffs in 1 he straight up says he hopes John's wife and dead daughter burn in Hell (funnily he must still like Jack) and is overall a real slimeball bastard, meanwhile in 2 he's a way more chill, decent enough guy despite being a criminal outlaw, like yea it's been over 10 years and people change but that's some hugely drastic change.

What's funny is how he wasn't even around to know the daughter actually existed. It's just yet another continuity error.

Hell, Javier's entire character in RDR2 is a giant continuity error. He does so little, and what little he actually does doesn't match up with what's said in the first game. It honestly feels like they forgot he was supposed to be one of the main villains in RDR1. Not that the first game actually does anything with him either because you don't even see him on-screen until the mission where you actually kill/capture him, but whatever.

But no, they gave him like three missions, and a short fishing trip before having him dragged by a donkey, and fade into the background where I guess he's now a villain.

You know, until the final camp confrontation where he seems more, I dunno, undecided? And then he just fucks off for the rest of the game.

V and RDR2 were the worst culprits of this. How dare I, the player, decide to use my own mind to come up with a strategy for this mission that ever so slightly deviates from how the jackass developer intended.

I swear to god, RDR2 is so scared of the Butterfly-Effect it won't even let you give a pen you get from a mission to a gang member so they can write their shitty telenovelas. It makes you go get another one while the one you already have just sits in your inventory doing nothing because apparently, it's so powerful it could completely destroy the timeline.

But just ignore the sentient robots, ghosts, and aliens running around.

Those are perfectly fine, and won't affect anything.

I feel like the GTA V/Chilliad mystery community could be worthy of discussion.

I honestly thought this shit died back when Doomsday Heist came out, only to find out I've missed 5 years of pure concentrated autism over the past half hour. Not only do some of these people still think there is some grand conspiracy, but many think solving it is the key to solving some Red Dead Redemption 2 grand mystery

It a makes you go get another one while the one you already have just sits in your inventory doing nothing.

"It's part of the grand mystery of the stranger top hat man!"
