Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[Autistic Orson Welles]

remember when they patched the tranny jokes out of GTAV? this game is gonna be woke af. third act twist is that the big booty latinx strong independent protagonist is actually a man. Dan Houser is gone and the new writers probably suck; I don't have any confidence in Rockstar at all.

It'll probably be worth playing anyway as an exercise in budget, like RDR2 was/is, but with no gameplay shown and a 2025 release date (at earliest) my hype is pretty fucking low. But I do like Vice City as the map choice again. I can't wait for Ronald de Santa to be the villain!

They missed an opportunity to set the game in Faux-Minneapolis to really work with those demographics.

Dublin? Shanghai? Mexico City?

 

[Breadbassket]

It's such wasted potential that they are STILL recycling Liberty, Vice, Los Santos, Liberty, Los Santos, Vice, over and over after all these years. The GTA world feels very small and creatively stale at this point, and some interesting new cities and locations could have injected some life and interest back into the series. Why not somewhere based on like, Dublin? Shanghai? Mexico City? There are so many cool cities with their own criminal underworld and subcultures. Why does Rockstar keep going back to the same well? Vice City was almost entirely a homage to the show Miami Vice and was heavily defined by it's 80s setting, I don't really see the appeal of 2020s Vice City with phone videos of twerking and le funny Florida Man (a meme current on reddit 10-15 years ago). Based on the trailer alone it seems soulless and uninteresting to me, granted it's just a trailer but its purpose is to get me excited and I'm nodding off.

Perhaps they want to play it safe with the setting by using what has worked in the past and also get some extra sales from nostalgia. It is kind of unfortunate because these modern games are really a "eggs all in one basket" approach to media and they aren't making any other titles in the series to be put out in a relatively quick rate compared to the 2000s so you kind of get stuck with what you get and if you like it, you like it and if you don't, you don't.

I just hope they don't do my boy Tommy dirty in this game.

I can't say the trailer's woke (though Rockstar has some major red flags coming out of RDR2).

But the trailer was a celebration of trashiness, with the tolerable bits being the scenery parts.

With a new tone at the company and a change in creative direction, GTA VI will probably feel very different from its predecessor

You probably don't even need to read past the opening of the article to know what to expect. The bit I can read from the article before the paywall pops up says they cancelled a mode where you play as cops because of St. Floyd. GTA6 is woke and you can just tell from the excessively niggery trailer and the fact it's a tough girlboss latina latinx main character, but that article all but confirms it.

I don’t have much faith in modern Shartstar to produce anything of quality especially after the Houser brothers and Leslie Benzies were exiled from the company years ago.

I’m gonna call it this game is gonna be ESG dogshit

 

[Sumdood Too]

So far, this thread consists of:

>"NIGGERS"
>that twerking lady
>"modern gaming"

Jesus Christ, people, come up with new material.

no.

 

[Knight Air]

Idk he looks paler than her still and his features are white. He's got no accent at all in his dialogue. He's probably Italian.

He's definitely white:

Spoiler

 

[King George III]

It would be funny if that's what they were going with but that's

Some slower progression would be nice too, starting out hitting liquor stores and working your way up the food chain to banks or some other large target. One of the things I didn't like about 5, was having a lot of money so early in the game.

 

[TheLastJoestar]

Mid Theft Auto. Niggercattle love their twerking, don't they? A friend of mine who I watched the trailer with was making monkey sounds the whole way through and this nigga black as fuck.

Trash.

 

[Omori Boy]

Lotta black people in Vice City lmao

Lots of black people in the city. More news at 11.

 

[AngryItalianAmerican]

Can't wait to play the adventures of Mutterella and Prince Guinea.

 

[Dire Dire Cocks]

preview video is up, unlocks in 15 hours

San Andreas is the nigger version of The Turner Diaries. Unironically.

 

[Site of Origin]

Don't mind the female playable character, but man there are barely any Hispanics, for being Miami that is ludicrous. Can't wait to hear my Cuban, Venezuelan and Colombian friends bitch up a storm.

Also, I really hope R* ups their game on mission structure and gameplay.

 

[LaxerBRO]

I just hope they don't do my boy Tommy dirty in this game.

Tommy is now Tiffany and one of the mini-games is dilation of the axe wound.

If they did something else like that, in an international setting, I'd rather they just made it its own "brand" ala Red Dead, LA Noire, etc rather than trying to shoehorn it into GTA.

 

[Anonitolia]

watch there be 1/4 the amount of people in the actual game compared to the trailer

 

[Imperial Citizen]

So who's gonna drudge through Twitter to find the millions of unfunny jokes about the gamers thinking the game is too woke?

Just wait for the breadtubers to do it for us.

 

[Dr. Geronimo]

Since everyone here seems to think this trailer is shit because 'it didn't show anything off' I linked the first trailer for all the other 3D GTA games.

GTA 3's trailer is not technically the debut, but I can't find a good version of it. GTA 4 is still a masterpiece.
