This is giving me GTA III vibes. I was going to cite how the first missions, Luigi's Girls, would give you $1500 for picking up a prostitute and taking her back to Luigi's. But, Claude works as a hired gun so it fits.
I loved how GTA IV did their vigilante missions, spawning in the FIB Buffalo to access the most wanted list was so fucking cool.
Speaking of, last time I tried to play Gay Tony on pc (couple years ago), there was something wrong with one of the early missions, and I was unable to progress at all. Is there any fix for this?
All I want is rockstar to make ONE character as stereotypical as the gay mexican who bums
What was the mission? Was it where Henrique has to blow up a wall to proceed? If so, your frame rate is too high for it to properly trigger for whatever reason. Try bumping into or shooting at Henrique to trigger it.
No I think it was (one of?) the underground boxing ring mission
The whole meme around it is already fucking insufferable. Don't even want to play the damn thing anymore. Gonna be long internet blackout for me once it releases.
I might have said it on here before, but I think the game is going to "disappoint". The game will probably sell well enough and be fun, but I think that sales expectations are going to be astronomical, and fans are going to be left upset (due to a combination of unrealistic expectations and losing everything they owned from GTA V's online).
Video seems to be getting dragged.
God, I hate that word. Of course crime should be "problematic" for anybody with common sense. The power fantasy that GTA brings is interjecting yourself into the criminal underworld while allowing the freedom to experience those crafted worlds as an active participant. This is the same argument back then where GTA was the cause of people enacting violence from video games. Moral hysteria that completely misses the point, only now the moral guardians of woke have injected the entertainment industry.
I don't think it could ever possibly live up to the expectations and hype people have of it and if some of the rumors are true [that Rockstar has added a shit-ton of "life sim" features, sort of like how you could make CJ lift weights in San Andreas to make your melee attacks more damaging, etc.] it's going to suffer from insane feature-creep where there are just way too many aspects to keep track of during gameplay, meaning to some it will be an unplayable morass and likely filled with activities people will do once and then never again. Rockstar already kinda went in this direction with RDR2, which was praised at first for being "realistic", but as time has gone on people now in retrospect find it annoying and odious. Like needing to brush your damn horse every five minutes, long ass 'searching pockets' animations or skinning animations every time you loot a corpse, so on and so forth.
I would guess they would try to add those "sim-life" elements to coincide with GTA RP. They're going all in with VI to make it THE biggest video game yet; they have all the hype built up for free marketing and anticipation.
That's what I'll be doing, not going to lie. I've been a GTA fan since III. The massive hype itself does not matter to me, although I am bitter that many GTA fans now are just "fans" of GTA Online or memes from San Andreas. Tourists so to speak. That's not even getting into the cultural shock as pointed out with GTA wanting to be "more sensitive" to minorities.
What's irritating is that Rockstar has been walking back on this ever since GTA: SA. Claude, Tommy, Huang Lee are all unrepentant career criminals, and it's fun to play as them. They genuinely do not give a shit and their personality and behavior fits the gameplay well.
Will you get to experience the thrilling life of a Latina single mother, changing the diapers of your bastard creatura, or making your White beta provider do it for you?
Well OBVIOUSLY they wouldn't be working "Illegal" jobs (no jobs are illegal fuck you very much!!) if you chuds would just give them houses and ebt and not be fascists
