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

[RollerGator]

Dude. There were just some black people in the trailer. Have you been to Miami? There was nothing about trannies, my gosh, stop thinking everything is doomed and pozzed

I bet you think the fallout show is going to be good.

 

[Sithis]

Nah, what you guys don't realize is that GTA has been a perpetual decline towards wokeshit and diversity since San Andreas.

I mean, think about it. It started with the game about niggers, then you had a game about slavs, spics, and faggots, then you had a handheld game about chinks, then you had a game about niggers again and a Canadian, and now we got this.

It's just been a progressive downward spiral of racial diversity and cultural enrichment.

You're forgetting Liberty City Stories which was actually a good game, especially for a handheld

 

[samuraicrack]

A lot of people are bringing up San Andreas having an all black cast too but that was 20 years ago and popular culture has arguably gotten even fucking dumber now because of shit like social media. Everyone in the trailer looked like a Soundcloud rapper or someone who tweets about how white people don't season their food or something, stuff like this doesn't really help either.

 

[blablabla]

lot of retards itt got their brains fucking burned by that faggot razorfist, the quartening and sinthetic man

 

[1812 LOL]

if you like niggers you're a faggot, and probably also a retard
if you like faggots you're a retard, and probably also a faggot
if you're a nigger you're a monkey, and you couldn't read this anyway

 

[The Last Stand]

That twerking scene everybody is talking about, that actually HAS happened in Miami Beach some years ago. So has the two hammer wielding lady. And the terrorizing dirt bikes in public streets, which needs no explanation. If you people are going to be mad at a topical series like GTA for mimicking reality, maybe consider being mad at actual reality.

As far as the in-game radio stations go for GTA VI, you can expect a lot of XXXTentacion and Kodak Black. The former is pretty much a legend in Florida, whereas I predict the latter will be making a special appearance for the game in the same realm as Dr. Dre did for his GTA V Online DLC a year ago.

I will admit that the mental image of Lucia driving to this while doing gang warfare would be chuckle-worthy

Even if the lyrics are nonsensical and, at worst, degenerate.

Stolen off /v/, even though I know Jackson Hinkle is an attention whoring grifter, even if people who learned about him thanks to events within the past two years usually either fall for the outrage bait or think he's actually serious because they agree with his supposed views, I gotta admit his baiting game is top notch.

I bet this faggot doesn't even season he food with spices or eats cornstarch.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

4chan jannies are on Defcon 5 with the banhammer, so this is probably a better place to discuss it.

I think the cope of the "well at least I can run down hordes of niggers/trannies/cyclists" is going to be bolted down somewhat. Video games are meant to work creatively within the medium, and this is why wokescolds are not good at doing video games, because woke companies HATE anything you do with their games that's not strictly to their point of view.

Doubly so for mods.

 

[Colon capital V]

Man I can't wait once this game comes out and the wait for GTA VII to start, people will slowly grow to hate it and say GTA V was actually good and they treated it too harshly like how people did when V stuck around for so long they realized IV wasn't that bad and they treated it unfairly.

 

[Michael Jacks0n]

Alright fine, I'll chime in more about muh blacks.

I think the issue here isn't the blacks themselves, but how many of the game's NPCs are ghetto trash and hoodrats despite the main characters not being black. With San Andreas, the theme/setting with a predominantly black cast worked because it was specifically set in a black neighborhood around the time of the L.A. riots, and the overall theme was meant to mimic early 90's gangsta rap culture aesthetic (e.g. NWA, Boyz in the da Hood). That made sense considering that was the theme they were specifically going for for. Just like with vice City being a mashup of Miami Vice and Scarface, hence it had a lot of Latino characters and involved themes of organized crime amidst the neon colors and synth pop.

With the GTA 6, it feels like they just took a generic modern crime plot, set it in Florida, and flooded the cast of NPCs with a bunch of grotesque twerking sheboons. Again, it's not the blacks, it's how it's presented and shoehorned. Also because it's not a specific time period, the aesthetic doesn't work. VC and SA had a unique feel since they were set in prior decades and were deliberately meant to mimic a certain relevant culture from their respective time periods (especially with the music). Hell, watch the fucking commercial for SA: yeah, it's a bunch of ghetto black thugs with guns shooting each other...but with the theme music being "Welcome to the Jungle" and the intended aesthetic and geographic setting it's trying to convey, it absolutely hits hard.

TL;DR - GTA: SA worked with a black cast because the overall style and theme was about inner city gang warfare in a specific time period and specific location, so I understand it. This time it just feels like shoehorned diversity in the worst way. I loved VC and SA, but this just looks lame.

 

[Gravemind]

Because lord knows sheboons definitely do not exist in the numbers portrayed in the trailer and do not do the ghetto nigger twerking shit during block parties as depicted.

I bet GTA6 will also instantly game over you if you shoot too many sheboons at once. In fact, shooting any black will probably result in an immediate 5 star wanted level.

 

[TheHarbinger]

I know this is probably going to sound like sacrilege but I wouldn't mind if the size of the map ended up being the same as in V, hell, I wouldn't mind it being even 25% smaller. Just make it more dense with more stuff to do like in Yakuza. I'm tired of these gigantic maps where theres nothing to do and you have to travel for 3 or 4 minutes to do a fetch quest.

The side content and mini-games and open world features will probably all be restricted to online modes only. The single player world will be one lifeless gigantic but seemingly empty world. Where NPCs have zero routines and don't even have the AI to actually park their cars or get in and out of their cars. Where things like basketball courts and skateparks will have zero interactivity. No shooting ranges or target practice. Almost no interiors for any buildings.

Casinos? Gambling? Shooting pool? Darts? Bowling? Better have your online pass and subscription ready. See that new trailer for the golf mini-game? It's $29.99 through shark card pass or whatever. Kart racing? Fishing? Bank robberies? $49.99. And when you walk into the casino or shooting range in single player the game will throw you a pop-up with "this needs a DLC purchase to unlock".

 

[flamminglaevateinn]

This game has more blacks than San Andreas ever did. Just hoping it has more things to do, because IV and V had less than SA in matters of side content.

 

[smartypants302]

Everyone so focus on black people but nobody asks the real important question. Will the swamp area in the game have ghost orchards and three types of mangrove trees? If not, the games a hard pass for me.

I want to see Mar-a-logo in GTA VI.

 

[LaCreaturaDeLasAmerica]

I genuinely can't believe how mindbroken some people are by /pol/ where they have a spastic fit when they see black people on a gta trailer. Of all the games to bitch about, it's GTA? Beyond autistic.
