I see that Motifa has been getting around.

You asked for a miracle but you got Motifa, baby!

They were the predominant "No Fun Brigade" of the 2010s and still are now, except now you have a sizeable number of people on the right who see a black guy in a video game or a female protagonist and it's instantly degenerate woke trash and you should never again participate in hobbies, consume modern media or eat "goyslop" because everything is degenerate and gay and retarded. They're not there yet, not as loud and not nearly as obnoxious but they're trying to take the title for being the 2020's "No Fun Brigade".

Being serious, the issue is that nowadays AAA are nearly entirely trash, and there is 1 to 1 correlation with having diversity front and center and terrible quality. People in the past didn't care for black people and women being playable because games were still good, here it is a grim reaper of quality.

Furthermore, with this game specifically it's so ugly. Like why show women twerking on a social media post? Or hood rats having fun? Or white cumdump in a music festival? This isn't what Florida is known for. We barely have a glimpse at the beaches, roads and swamps that make it an attractive location. If you tried to sell me a ticket to this place I'd punch you in the face. It looks like the worst part of urban and societal decay.

We also have no gameplay here, and the scenes themselves are likely not ingame quality. The whole trailer is a slap in the face for people who actually want to see gameplay in a game, but the hype of it being a GTA game will mean that people already pre purchased the game.

It's all just so tiring.

Dude, you're so steeped in bullshit that it's legitimately soaking into you. How do you think your mental state looks when you're getting angry that people are having fun at a beach and slutty girls are at music festivals in an urban crime simulator? You are the definition of someone who needs to touch grass at this point and wherever it is, i hope you enjoy yourself because you are withered spiritually if you get outright angry at 20-something party culture that's not harming anybody instead of at least just saying it's not your cup of tea.

I'm wholly uninterested because gtaV wasn't very good ans RDR2 is garbage and had all the worst excesses of a AAA movie game. They didn't spend 10 years making this game good, they spend 10 years bloating the fuck out of everything for the "cinematic experience". Press x to watch a movie clip and is not even a good movie.

That it is full of brown and black people as well as "current year" zoomer culture and horrid music is just the extra cherry on the shit pie.

I hate Miami so much is unreal but at least Vice City was set in the 80s.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Rockstar are sly.
1. Inserting a female protagonist but making a white chad her boyfriend and co protagonist reduces the backlash.
2. Them being a couple will be an excuse to cut out hirable prostitutes because her simp won't ever cheat on her. Can't have that in current year. See RDR2.
3. They'll insert a lot of Niggers as NPC's to satisfy the people who wanted a black Protagonist but a White man killing a bunch of mostly black civilians will actually make those people they wanted to satisfy madder.

Maybe they’ll make it so you can fuck your Latina waifu

 

[Bowiotronic]

Shit game too and also too late of a release date, by the time it releases it's going to feel like a rockstar game vs. a new game, too many cutscenes will leave the main gameplay looking underwhelming and lackluster, not to mention that they'll most probably do GTA online again, think of it as a remake of V with a bloated plot.

You act like people cared about that shit in the first place. If anything, people only cared if they played a female character in a third person view so they can see TnA. Only politispergs cared about the race of their character in the past and they've always made shit games like Ethnic Cleansing and a bunch of spergy far right low effort games in that vein and your average shitlib slop made in current year. Turns out if you make pushing you politics front and center, your game turns out to be shit.

Miami is a trashy city full of trashy people. It's nothing new and as a Floridian, it's well known by everyone in the state and probably the country. That's why Spring Break has always been associated with the dregs of society, whether it be college frat/sorority faggots looking for one-night stands and destroying their livers with retarded amounts of alcohol or hoodrats. Plus, it has a good deal of white trash as well. I do not get what you are trying to say. There are good reasons to think this game will be shit, chief among them that this is the first game with none of the original Rockstar staff and Rockstar using this as a means to push predatory monetization schemes just like they did with GTA Online, but complaining about how unrealistic the demographics of the game is or degeneracy when that is not far removed from reality is the weirdest fucking reason I've seen to hate this game. A lot of these types of posts read like unironic parodies of those Chudjak "The West Has Fallen" memes.

 

[TrainWreckWatcher]

I expect nothing good from current rockstar.

 

[soulgains]

I found this Black guy reacting to the trailer and knew it belonged in this thread

 

[Hitman One]

Yes, the first 90 second trailer of a game that won't be released for about 18 months not having gameplay in it is a sure sign the end times are here. Billions must sneed.

 

[Sheogorath]

OG Loc, perpetuates gang culture as being "cool."

og loc is litteraly a joke gangsta who got locked up for improper parking or something and his rap career is made fun of by every character
sweet gets locked up in prison because of sticking with the hood
carl was removed enough from the gang to not get arrested

 

[Soycast Guy]

I was so confused when I saw a bunch of people on YouTube soying out over the trailer last night. It’s… a trailer. Who cares? Maybe I just don’t have the consoom GTA mindset, but I literally couldn’t care less.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Or hood rats having fun? Or white cumdump in a music festival?

Tell me you've never played a GTA game without telling me you've never played a GTA game.

 

[Irredemable Retardation]

While the game will most likely be right side of history circlejerking, I hate e-wignats and e-neetsocs so much it's unreal.

My problem with the rampant degeneracy is that it's not there to be mocked or parodied to showcase how degenerate and negative it is, but rather to embrace and promote it.

I don't care if it's sheboons twerking their disgusting cellulite asses, hispanic influencers being hedonistic materialists or rednecks being drunken reprobates, when you're promoting this as good and not as parody to be laughed at, it becomes unsettling to look at.

Old R* knew that you can show the insanity and have fun in it, but they never endorsed it like Hilary Clinton and Jack Thompson believed they did.
- GTA VC shows the glam and glitz of 80s Miami was only for the elite and corrupt. The mainland where the locals lived was a shithole. You didn't want to live here.
- In SA gangbanging is shown to be a dead end no matter how good you think your intentions are or how noble your beliefs are. If CJ had rejected Sweet and continued empire-building with Kendl, Sweet's fate was to be a crackhead who fell into despair at seeing his ideals be a fragile illusion, his neighborhood a wreck, and his people drug addicts with no aspirations or hope.
- IV expressed that the American dream is dead and the locals have it too good to see the country they've let rot, but also showcases how a lot of immigrants are just as terrible if not worse, chasing that "fuck you, I gotta get mine" mentality. No loyalty, no community; just selfish strangers couped up in a city with a mythos long gone.
- V reaffirmed their stance that gangbanging is bullshit, to the point I remember seeing fans be angry that Franklin wasn't a T-800 Balla killing machine spouting platitudes about his hood and comittment to dying like a real Loc.
- RDR1 made a great point that revolution is not a 'good guys vs bad guys' thing more so than 'my interests vs your interests' with how Allende and Reyes were portrayed as two assholes ultimately out for themselves than the people they represented, using deceit and charisma to woo people to their side. Allende was no statesman and Reyes no revolutionary.

I want to hope that VI will have a similar message of "It's fun to be bad, just don't think this kind of fun is good for you", but seeing how contemporary media loves to enable the worst aspects of society, where cynicism is a virtue, and excess and vice are wholesome, I have strong doubts that this Vice City is less an exaggerated vision of Miami and more a mockumentary of it.

 

[Leave_Fargut]

why do people keep posting the artstation piece and pretending it's official art? That shit was never the design

 

[ShitLurker]

I do hate me some niggers, but hating what is basically "nigger simulator" for being full of niggers is a waste of energy. Specially with how glorious current year works. Look at the positives, when you go on a rampage you can go on a full racial cleansing spree, that or you will instantly explode the moment you touch a BLM mural and be forced to watch a 30 minute cutscene about how you are gigahitler, but whatever.

On the flipside, those defending that Miami looks like an absolute shithole, then... uuuh.... more power to you? Seems like a horrible place I never want to touch but I guess that makes it ideal for a destruction porn simulator (assuming current year +7 lets GTA be, well, GTA).

But yeah, what were you people honestly expecting from a crime simulator located in the US? If anything, I'm a lot more annoyed by the tik tok shit that was constantly appearing in the trailer, something tells me that will be as insufferable as Saint's Row constant school debt sperging.

Anyway, I expect the game to be shit like everything that is triple A and comes from western studios. I consider it a given that the story will be preachy, that the people that were actually competent and passionate left Rockstar years ago when they got tired of churning content for GTA online and the only thing I'm still on the fence on is if they will allow the iconic GTA chimpout to still stand or if suddenly some stuff will be big nonos when GTAs biggest appeal has always been going absolutely fucking nuts.

Who's saying any of this? You're talking about 60 seconds of contextless video that probably isn't even real gameplay footage. All GTA games have been full of parody and mockery of various groups and sleazy or cringy characters but you didn't see any of that parody in the first teaser trailer that came out 2 years before the game, you only got to see that in the damn game.

You have no objective reason or precedent to assume that they'll attempt to portray all this degeneracy in a positive light, you're just being a blackpilled fucking miser, here.

 

[Drive-By Comment]

If they somehow parody Black culture with GTA VI for outrage... this will be interesting.

I damn sure hope that any time you step into fast food restaurant in the game there is black women about to start trashing the place.

 

[Cringestorian X]

What everyone should sperg about is the radio. That’s the only thing I’m blackpilled on.

How are they going to make a decent soundtrack with what’s out now? The older stations (if they have them) could be fine, but that won’t be the majority.
I don’t think two years is enough time to improve music across genres.

Not only that both Dan Houser and Laslow who have been writing and producing the radio stations for all Rockstar games have left the company. So yeah, I don't have high hopes for the radio. Which is unfortunate because it plays a big part with the in-game immersion, especially with GTA games.
