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

[Haftag]

This is my main issue with "anti-woke' tards on Twitter and YouTube. No, adding tits to a game doesn't immediately fix the problem. It just turns a shit game with DEI slop to a shit game with TNA.

I noticed it with people's reaction to MKX vs Injustice 2, the models in IJ2 are just as ugly as MKX if not more, yet most didn't even bring it up because they showed more skin.

Modding GTA games in general sucks.

For 3D games, you have better luck with older retail versions, Cuckstar intetionally made later releases harder to mod.

I guess there were a lot of obnoxious proto-inclusive things

Like The Getaway (2002), the main villain is a white crime boss who's tired of London's multiculturalism and so devises a rather convoluted plan to pit the different ethinc gangs against each other. It's mentioned only once or twice.

 

[Spruce Supremacist]

Modding GTA SA in general sucks though because of fragmentation and Brazilians.

Surprisingly there's been a resurgence of well-made total conversion mods for the 3D era games. Tightened Thrice, Tightened Vice and Tightened'reas (WIP) come to mind. Sure, they're all made by the same guy, but the big benefit that he has is that he has a fair amount of playtesters, quite a few of them being speedrunners (who are definitely autistic enough to make sure everything plays just right). One of the guys from the GTA speedrunner camp is also attempting to "remaster" GTA: Frosted Winter, which is one of the older large scale total conversion mods to come out for GTA III.

But for most part I agree, it feels like BRs are the main ones keeping modding of 3D era games alive in the current year (I'm looking at you, mixmods.com.br).

Somewhat of a side note, but English Ben's playthrough of Need for Speed Most Wanted is comically terrible. I got massive DSP vibes from it. Other than that, good GTA speedrunner.

I like English Ben's GTA stuff but whenever he tries something else, he spends most of the time complaining so I can definitely see a comparison to DSP. Maybe it's because he hasn't played the game enough to fully nail the mechanics but that's not really the game's fault. He did rightfully shit very hard on the Dead Rising "Remaster" recently which seemed extremely fucking lazy with AI upscaled gobbledy-gook for all of the signs and a bunch of removals that offended no one.

Yeah, shitting on the Dead Rising remake was warranted given how much stuff was dumbed down or changed for the 'modern audience'.

His Most Wanted playthrough was very hard to watch though. Constantly crashing into objects and proceeding to complain about the vehicle physics the whole time. Constantly complaining about how brutal the cops are and saying that they were the worst part of the game outright. I think what really did it for me was the ending where Ben tried acting like being in a scripted 5 minute police chase was "bad game design" because 'a player might think the game is glitched because you can't lose the cops like you normally can.' Like, he's at Heat level 6 and he's whining about being unable to immediately lose the toughest cops in the game for a few minutes. He was such a baby during it.

But other than that stuff, I do think he has some great insight on GTA speedrunning and it's history. I think I watched his video about San Andreas speedrunning at least three times.

Not even that: if you drive close to the stadium, Mia calls you before the 5 minutes endurance about escaping using the broken bridge.

His Most Wanted playthrough

Where can I go watch that? Search engines are failing me really hard

 

[The Last Stand]

You'd know what'd be funny? If the wanted level cheat for GTA VI would be something like: MENTALISSUES, ICANTBREATHE, POLICEBRUTALITY. I watch a lot of police bodycam videos; people will say ANYTHING to "get out" of an arrest or detainment. Especially for stuff they escalated themselves. That'd be GREAT social commentary.

Yeah after watching him play a game that I am very familiar with [Saints Row 2006, aka the first one] and while he did seem to like the game overall, he complained about a lot of things that were really just a product of their time. He criticized a lot of the story missions for being poorly designed when the things that caught him up should be something a speedrunner is used to dealing with, claimed that some of the final story missions were unfair while not using the resources available to him, etc. Shit having 100%'d that game the story missions aren't unfair at all, if anything is it's the fucking activities, some of which are damn near impossible to complete without exploits or doing shit that I have to think was not intended by the devs. Since Volition is in the dirt now it's unlikely we'll ever know if they intended you to use Forgive and Forget and switch cars every 30 seconds. If he tried the last drug trafficking levels he would have really blown a gasket. It's different when he's playing a game that you know pretty much all the ins and outs of yourself because to someone who hasn't played it much, the complaints sound valid or reasonable.

If he ever attempts a SR1 100% speedrun I'm going to watch the fuck out of that because some of those activities might actually make him break shit or ragequit, I'm a pretty reasonable and calm individual but I was damned close to rage quitting a few times.

Definitely like what he's been doing with the GTA mods/total conversions as of late, although whether the modders are willing to take his constructive criticisms and not flip the fuck out determines whether or not any of his suggestions make it in. Forget which one it was, maybe San Andreas 'The Challenge' mod where he made some suggestions and asked for the modder's help to get it running on his machine and got blocked by the developer and spent a good 30 minutes taking the mod down but he still played through it even though it was terrible. I think he generally means well and wants the modding community to get their shit together and stop half-assing it like retarded Brazilians but that's a hard row to hoe, they make up the majority of modders for the 3D GTA era now.

 

[Would]

I'm concerned about Rockstar asking writers to be "less crude towards minorities." It should make fun of everyone equally

The only minority in Miami are people with an IQ over 85.
Racially, Gooks I guess?

 

[Scream Aim Fire]

So, who want's to die of cringe? Found a few old videos that someone made with Guitar Hero mods; thought it'd at least get a chuckle or two here from the San Andreas fans:

Enjoy! Or not.

Miami is a "snowbird" town. Where old people go for vacation or refuge from the winter season. I would expect more older people around with retirement communities, golf courses and the like. Whatever else old people like.

Can't wait for GTA VI to come out so I can plant some sticky bombs on mobility scooters (In GTA VI, mind you.)

 

[lego racers]

i'm actually really looking forward to 6, the leaks make me cautiously excited. i think what piqued my interest the most was watching that one clip of the diner robbery, the gunplay looks really promising to me. i've been playing a lot of 5 recently and have been getting tired of how limited it is. i had loads of fun with it, but it's over 10 years old now and there's really little to do. i tried but couldn't get into red dead 2, the western stuff just really doesn't do it for me. even if 6 is just red dead 2 with a modern paintjob i think i'd be satisfied. hopefully it's worth waiting the extra year for a pc release.

 

[Crypt Kicker]

Alright, I know this has been mentioned before but I just played through it again (and I've had a little to drink and I wanted to rant, I'll do my best to not sperg too hard).
I just finished the Jeremiah Compson side story in RDR2. After he's had his little cry session and Arthur acts as if he's some sort of moral superior despite being a bank robbing murderer, I shot him execution style. Why? Because honestly, well, firstly for being a little asshole drunk (couldn't be me), but after reading the letters found in his house that contained him being let down easy that his work was no longer viable but he was still cared for, then the downfall of the death of his wife, to his son saying he and his son want nothing to do with Compson, to being fired from the railroad company in straight up the most heartless way (the letter said basically said, "other employees AND customers find you a repugnant faggot and you have no business with us". I know it was then times, but even back then I think a simple "we no longer require your services" would have sufficed.) I thought killing him would be mercy instead of being a fossil in this new world.
And of course as you all know, it gave me +Honor because killing a crying broken down man scared of a world that not only doesn't find him useful but absolutely despises him is so totes demure. I'm not chastising the game for giving +Honor for killing a slave catcher/driver/seller/etc., but I am chastising it for patting you on the back for killing an absolute defenseless old fuck who's not even looking at you regardless of whether he deserves to die or not.
So, I shot his horse in the face with the same sawed off to collect that -Honor. To keep the balance.
Because surely, if that pistol, ledger, and even a fucking WATCH that he owned are evil artifacts, so is his horse.
Come to think of it, they should have given me honor FOR killing that evil steed.

In a game series LITERALLY ABOUT FUCKING REDEMPTION there should have been double honor rewarded for walking away instead of killing a defenseless man cowering on his hands and knees looking at the dirt and perhaps maybe a nice letter to Tacitus Kilgore in the epilogue about how Jeremiah Compson found Redemption, sort of in the way that Reverend Swanson did. I don't think these faggots at rockstar understand what "redemption" means.

It's also absolutely crawling with blacks around summer break. I think a lot also live there. Not to mention the enormous amounts of various types of Latino that is ever-present; you often hear Spanish more than English. It is strange there were no snowbirds in the trailer, as it would have been a funny and inoffensive reference to include, but I'm sure it will be played up massively in the storyline for precisely that reason.

Imagine hijacking a mobility scooter from a fat guy, lol.

If you mix dirt with snow, inevitably, it all becomes brown. and disgusting

KuruHS is the better player for racing games such as NFS, anyways. It's like you need to go to those who've been playing their niche of games for years to get the best experience and insight. People like Ben who will end up getting frustrated over the simplest things will make watching them become a dragging hell. Especially when the game will naturally get more difficult as it goes.

Perhaps he should just stick to playing total conversion GTA mods, he does those the best for sure.

 

[Adash]

the problem is woke stuff is a symptom of a bad game, its like when van halen asked for a bowl with no brown m&Ms, they'd check the bowl because a venue that won't honor that request is probably fucking up everywhere else and when you're dealing with pyrotechnics or other effects you don't want to get fucked over by shoddy workmanship.

And the type of dev that refuses to make characters attractive or have the women show off some TNA, is probably a dev that also won't give a fuck about making a satisfying story or good gameplay or enjoyable characters. they'll actively attack the audience the same way some concert venues would let musicians play but absolutely hate them and their fanbases.

I don't really agree because I've seen enough chinese gachaslop to know that there's a non zero chance that the TNA is used to cover up the game being a glorified gambling simulator.

For 3D games, you have better luck with older retail versions, Cuckstar intetionally made later releases harder to mod.

Not harder, but literally impossible in the case of SA. Downgrading is a bitch which is what I meant with that. Even with the downgrades, it's still annoying. Maybe I've been spoiled by Steam Workshop and Unity mods.

new gta 6 trailer leaked? (i am inclined to believe this is fake and gay)

This is literally a scene from the trailer of Watch Dogs 2, of course it's fake and gay.
