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

[StacticShock]

I hope you remembered that GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption II had horrible PC launches. I hope this would be different.

I'm hoping that missions would allow more freedom and experimentation instead of "go THIS specific way, don't venture out the imaginary play area or game over" that has plagued GTA VI and RDRII.

come on, nigger.

Once it gets closer to the release day of May 26th, I'm calling off work ahead of time for a couple days. I'm certain a lot of people will too.

I get to put in vacation ahead of time. Haven’t taken off for a video game since Cyberpunk 2077 botched release. I’ll probably do it for this game on release.

there is hopim and there is reality denial which is the case here considering all of the talent capable of doing something and even addressing the pet peeves people had is long gone, you really think pooftah gives a shit you fail the mission if you hit the wrong white dude? fuck no.

cool, i wouldn't really know because i always play pirated first before of thinking on buying so i'll wait for the crack.

 

[GeorgeFloydFentanylStash]

Yeah you’re going to be waiting a while for the PC release. And then the rat race to be the first to crack the game.

My prediction is that it’ll be online only since to cOmBaT pIrAcY.

I'm worried that with how much of an awaited release it is, crackers will put all sorts of nasty viruses in there as well.
Yeah, I will let you guys beta test this too. I will play it once I know it is 100% complete and safe to do so.

 

[Nameless One]

Are we back? The consumerist humor seems the same just scaled to more current day shit. Hoping the internet is as insane if not more than IV and V.


I gotta say I was not expecting all these districts of Leonida (Florida). I was just thinking of Vice City. I love what I see, looks like they wanted to go more in depth on the different "cultures" of Florida. Now I want them to fully explore New York State next game or something new.

It looks magnificent. Hoping the world itself has more interactivity and expands on what RDR2 was doing. The story doesn't matter much to me since V's was already lacking but I hope it leans around the "start from gas stations and end with robbing the government" stuff. Maybe a Bonnie & Clyde narrative with dark twists/endings.

That billboard is amazing.

 

[Prophetic Spirit]

At least the idea of following entire states isn't changed since GTA SA (LS, SF, LV), GTA IV (having Alderney as the other city in another state technically), same as GTA V and Paleto Town.

 

[Mark Goldbridge]

To be honest the social satire in the trailers right now is nonexistent because it’s absolutely true right now. Look on the website and see what I mean.

Real shame, this is what I noticed too. It's really just not going to be the same since the original directors stepped down.

 

[GeorgeFloydFentanylStash]

Yeah, a game filled with Florida Man and Woman isn’t social satire. Riiiiggghhhtttt.

 

[Nameless One]

Dead cat aside they nailed it, its proper satire. They even got the chewing tobacco down for rural Florida. And the retarded/nonsensical tactishit attachments to good rifles. That's redneck. Unlike V's boring NPCs some of these designs are people I could actually meet down there. They did a good job.

First trailer had me concerned it would overly focus on social media but it seems like its just an aspect.

 

[TheGuntinator]

Don't mind me as I spoil the endings

Cuck's alone ending consists of him being radicalized by right wing misogynists on his Spitter account and if you side with him he drops that hoe while she's pregnant to wax poetic about saving the white race before dying of alcoholism

Shaniqua Laqueef's alone ending consists of her realizing finally that she needs no man, while Cuck goes on a white rage school shooting (which Shaniqua stops while dropping off their halfbreed) and the Black Community helps her raise her happa baby happily forever after

The together ending consists of cuck realizing he should be thankful for everything Shaniqua has done for him, announces himself as a feminist, and the two of them go on to start production on Creator Clash.

If even one of these is tangentially right, someone owes me a beer.

 

[Nameless One]

It doesn't seem like its gonna be that type of game. Sorry grifter, better luck next time. Pay attention to GTA V Online to predict how this story will go, which is to say generic GTA stuff like a contractor giving you missions and eventually you do social networking and you're at the top. R* focuses on what makes money and they play it semi-safe. Wokeshit seems unlikely here given how much ass and budgets you're blasted with in both trailers.

I DIDNT EVEN FINISH THE NEW TRAILER L E M A O

Its so fuckin GAY and bad and cliche and fake and soulless im fucking sorry. Even the ass jiggle was mid by todays standards. yes i lurk /v and yes I am somewhat ashamed. That faggot houser completely lost his touch since gtaIV. He has nothing to fucking say anymore and he has whipped and castrated any SOVL left in the fucking building(s). Its the biggest goddamned franchise in the world and it is completely vapid. It has aesthetic and maybe tone. Its like netflix slop, the wardrobe sometimes isnt half bad but otherwise its fucking trash, mechanically and as "art" or whatever the fuck you wanna call it. 1minute in and you know it is as deep as a puddle of piss. Threadly reminder that a 500mb mod for gtaV absolutely mogs anything you retards have done mechanics wise, and you FUCKING BROKE IT with your stupid advanced update. I literally downloaded the new fitgirl release for naught. Someone should take your IP away from you, you are being negligent

 

[#lurker]

cliche

First time? Every single GTA steals from more competent movies. They've never wrote an original story.

 

[CyrusHowler]

The closest I've experienced to "ludonarrative dissonance" from a GTA title would have to be Trevor Phillips from GTA V. Trevor is marketed as a crazy psychopathic maniac that does whatever/however he wants. The game does try to justify Trevor's insanity with him either having repressed mental issues or overcompensating himself to be cool, or according to Michael, a "hipster." However, many of Trevor's antics are told, not shown. I've seen scarier actions from other GTA protagonists that would make Trevor tame in comparison. It feels like his whole characterization is just shock humor.

I liked Trevor in high school but the older I got the more I realized he sucks ass.
Toni Cipriani from Liberty City Stories is much more psychopathic than Trevor.

They literally introduce him by having him murder Johnny for no reason.

I actually really liked Johnny, and V turns him into a strung-out pathetic loser then has the edgy new craaaazyy character stomp his head in for shock value.

Johnny is one of the best GTA protagonists and his DLC is literally beat for beat RDR2 but condensed.

That character is probably going to screw this all up in every way possible.

In the story? Yeah most likely.

why is every single shot of her ass

Because it's a GTA game and she's a big booty Latina.

The description reads: "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive."

Bonnie and Clyde shit, I love it.

I am a sucker for a good love story. here's hoping

Same man....I'm not confident it will be happy tho.

Did they change the look of the male lead? The female lead looks the same, but male lead looks more muscular and different hairstyle.

I think they made him more muscular. Hairstyle is probably a prologue thing or customization.

No gameplay? They are terrified lol. This shit is gonna be a disaster

Don't be such a black pilled retard. GTA 5 had trailers without gameplay and so did 4.

mid

People who say mid are it spelled backwards.

First trailer had a lot of Black people, second trailer has a lot of ass. Welcome to modern America.

Thanks for admitting you've never played a GTA game.

Just the same as how Fallout NV took like 1 fucking year and was like GOTY of all decades in its category.

New Vegas is just DLC for Fallout 3.

Cyberjunk 2077

Cyberpunk is awesome.

I love Trevor.

The worst GTA Protagonist?

Isn't this the first female playable character in GTA?

Technically no, you could play as women in GTA 1.

No idea why they're bringing back Phil, unless that guy is Phil's son

Remember, GTA 4, Chinatown Wars, 5 and 6 are a different universe to 3,, Advance, VC, SA, LCS and VCS and those are a different universe to GTA 1, 2 and GTA London.
Most characters that are in one universe don't appear in other universes except radio hosts like Lazlow.

consoles are for faggots so it doesn't even matter

OK buddy.

Is it really that difficult for developers to willfully make an attractive female character? We have to deal with enough fat ass spics and nigger bitches in real life...

Anyways, not pre-ordering jack shit. Let the NPCs have their happiness of this especially seasoned goyslop.

Change your name, a retarded subhuman like you doesn't deserve to be called "Armor of God" and then kill yourself.

and too much niggers.

Bro has never played a GTA game ever....Ever.

You joyless fags would've said the same about the GTA 5 trailer, eww black protagonist they're doing 3 protagonists to shoehorn a DEI character in!
Oh my god the story is so generic, a retired bank robber? Booooring.

It was a good trailer, the world looks filled with possibilities, far more than in GTA 5.

All I'm gonna say is I like how much this couple loves each other. I hope it wont have a tragic ending....

Oh boy....

Video games are so fucking soulless these days.

Un-ironic use of "soulless", opinion discarded. Say slop next time to prove me right.

Quite honestly, more black and latino characters make sense in GTA, since it's a game about crime.

If this game has a good story about a couple that actually love and respect each other while doing crime, it could unironically be the greasiest love story ever told since Twilight.

Maybe even help restore the relation between the sexes.

Don't wanna break your heart man but listen to the lyrics of Tom Petty's Love is a Long Road from trailer 1. Do a little research on Bonnie and Clyde, and also check out the website. She's not to be trusted.

Could this be a tranny character or would they hide them from all materials to the game is released?

As someone who will admit to finding some Chocolate Women attractive, they can very well turn out looking like this monstrosity as well.

do like the Bonnie and Clyde-like approach

Thanks for noticing that, nobody else on this thread has said that.

and this'll be following in 4's footsteps of having a tad more restraint.

It might work. 4 is the third highest rated game of all time and honestly it's my favorite game in the series.

think Jason also looks like a mix of both Commander Shepard and V.

I got Sean Strickland vibes.

If those same /pol/ people played GTA 3/VC/SA and listened to the radio then, they'd probably still complain that the humor is "woke" since it doesn't lean into the extreme of racial abuse we're known for today. Political correctness has not only neutered social commentary, but radicalized the world to the extreme where the line between parody and reality is getting smaller and smaller.

Hit the nail on the head.

Unfortunately I hate both of the main characters and the story looks like it's gonna be complete shit like GTA V's story.

Imagine being this retarded.

GTA had annoying fat cunts in the past, this isn't news.

These retards don't play games. I will repeat it often.

Made it look like you get to play as the gigachad who can get easy pussy, but is still loyal to his big booty latina gf; and not just the stronk independent brown woman main character, as I was lead to believe

Straight away what I got from the first half of the trailer. This Jason dude is Sean Strickland mixed with Arthur from RDR2. Already shaping up to be one of my favorite GTA characters and definitely is gonna blow the less than stellar GTA 5 ones out of the water (Except Micheal he was great.)
Look at the website and she might not seem so trustworthy, just like Bonnie and Clyde IRL.

I think you very adroitly verbalized what I've been feeling as I watch this trailer. The sense of escapism that we often seek from gaming/media (especially those of us with nigger/faggot/tranny fatigue) would be non-existent by design in this game.

As I've said before. Two entire GTA games have had negroes as protagonists and every single one has had some sort of minority as a side character or something. Trannies and fags are one thing but people need to realize that these games are set in re-imaginings of NYC, LA, SF, Vegas and Miami....There's gonna be spics and darkies....

Niko was bound to be miserable and the choice you get is between a love interest and blood family, thankfully the choice was made easier by Kate being a bland and sanctimonious bitch character whereas Roman was the cool bowling cousin.

They really make it seem like he's so busted up about Kate when you can completely ignore her as a dating partner which makes it a bit silly but I think that's the canon ending.

but what we saw of her in this trailer she seems to genuinely like him, but whether that's something that develops over the course of the story or is there from the start

Check the website. She could potentially be using him as a way out. I've been very sus of her since the first trailer. Listen to the words of Tom Petty's Love is a Long Road and it will tell you everything you need to know. Especially now that we've seen more of Jason's character I genuinely like the dude so hopefully he gets a happy ending either way.

Don't be such a prude

These tards don't play games. I will repeat this as much as I have to.

O my pog, shitty minigames that you will ignore after the game forces you to touch them, a barren wasteland, an endgame where you will be drowning in money with nothing to do in SP and they might bring back the underwater shit so you can waste more time doing nothing .
Neck yourself, doubly so due to the fact that you want to defend the nothing character known as franklin.

Stop wasting our precious air.

even if there's a bit too much ass & sex.

You've never played any GTA game since GTA 3 then.

It must be miserable to be you

It's miserable to be a lot of the retards on this website.

I'm not paying $100

No one else will because that's not how much it will cost.

Sure is a lot of NO FUN ALLOWED in here for what's going to be the biggest videogame launch of our lifetimes. Poors are mad.

These retards don't play games.

As I said in another thread it captures south Florida very well. The rural areas remind me of real places in Florida so that has that going for it. You have to remember though Miami is party central and very foreign so you have to take that in account.

If you check out the other gaming related threads, you'll notice that most KiwiFarmers who bitch and moan aren't actually gamers. You can deduce this by the things they say that don't add up to what real people who have played these games since the early 2000's would say.
Like I said before.

I'm just preparing for the game to inevitably cost $100 at launch.

I doubt it will cost that much. There has been zero evidence to suggest that.

Now I want them to fully explore New York State next game or something new.

As a resident of Upstate New York, I'd love that but you've got to remember that this is the same universe as GTA 4 and 5. I doubt they'll do New York again. Probably Chicago or Las Vegas. I'm hoping Texas personally.

soulless

Like I said before, you can't make this shit up. God I hate NPC's.

yeah I dimly remembered something of the sort not that it matters because the soul has been sucked out of gta since 5
