After you rob 20k in Bulgary in San Andreas you get infinite sprint without getting tired.
I could not even FIND the van to start that Burglary side mission for the longest time. I still cannot find it.

In other YouTuber news, TheProfessional is currently live streaming GTA IV's multiplayer on Xbox Live for its 18th anniversary.


GTA IV is old enough to get wasted with friends. Just don't drink and drive.
 
Im not sure if this is right place for this one but it from a GTA streamer yeah Ben is just coping over slurs with the developer.
Ah, another E-Ben spergout over muh racism or whatever the fuck. I was really enjoying his stuff for a while, especially when he played through the absolutely retarded [but hilarious] Vice City Hardlined mod that was unfair as fuck, but then I watched one of his playthroughs of Red Dead Redemption Remastered and at random, he sperged out about the Bad Orange Man or whatever and I kinda fell off. Like how the fuck is that remotely relevant? I think I bitched about him in one of the "YouTubers You Used To Like" threads around here, but it just came out of nowhere. Not to mention he was shitting on the game because of mechanics he either refused to understand or make use of. Like he fucking barely used the cover system and complained about getting fucking smoked in every mission, didn't understand how the shop/buying new stuff mechanic worked so he was always running out of ammo and never topping it off. Just stupid, silly shit that most people innately understand if they have ever played a fucking videogame before. Honest to God, when it's not GTA, his bread and butter, dude has a LOT of DSP moments. His viewers also apparently raided that developer's Discord server to tell him off for his heckin' bad racismerino, but Ben claims he didn't cosign it and had no knowledge of it, even though I'm sure he was well aware it would happen the second he put out his video about it. He knows precisely the type of virtue signaling retards that sort of 'clapback' or 'callout' attracts.

Also, he played through The Warriors [also by Rockstar, considered a sleeper hit in the beat 'em up genre, altogether regarded as pretty good for the era] and relentlessly shit on it for not being like GTA. Like bro, that wasn't what they were fucking going for, they wanted to branch out. Especially given they got criticism in the early days for RDR being "Grand Theft Horse" [or too much like GTA in a different setting] which is now derided as pretty stupid. Why is it that speedrunners just cannot possibly contain their fucking unrelated autism and spergouts on the subject of politics? People don't come to you for that, they watch you because you're good at bing bing wahoo. And I don't particularly give a fuck which way they swing in terms of politics, I don't go to such a channel to hear about politics whether it's "le bad Orange Man" or "MAGA TRUMP IS SO BASED BROS!!!", that's not what it's supposed to be about. Like most streamers his chat is a bunch of annoying ballwashers who think they're a lot funnier than they actually are in reality.

Not to mention the fucking troon invasion of the speedrunning community. HRT has taken nerd culture by storm in the same way crack cocaine ravaged the ghetto in the fucking late 80s and early 90s. Many such cases. Sad! Can't quote in editing but I honestly do think E-Ben deserves a thread, he's gotten to that point, sadly. Problem is you have to scrub through a bunch of eight hour fucking streams and wait for his chat ballwashers to say something that sets him off in order to really collect his lolcow worthy moments.
 
Terrified of what, exactly?... did they make it woke and shit??

It's funny that price speculation is making headlines but no one asks why it should cost more than any other game. Seems like game journalist types are just frothing at the mouth to pony up 100 smackeroos for the newest most bestest thing ever to be made for niggercattle normies to enjoy.

Is it because the dev time is inflated to 3X that of an average AAA slop game that it should cost 3X the price?

The realistic answer is probably something like “terrified they’ve spent the GDP of a small to medium sized nation on this, how the fuck are we making that back?” sinking in, assuming of course that GTA6 does as 5 did and not have Online on Launch. Or worse, that GTAO2 has the same launch issues GTAO had.

There's also the more abstract "no way in hell you are fulfilling all of the imaginary expectations people have been fantasizing for a decade". Silksong managed it, but I doubt Rockstar has a fraction of the passion needed to achieve that.

I do think the game will sell like mad even if it's shit purely from the good will factor. Will it cover costs? My take is "HA, no" unless it releases day 1 on all platforms AND online comes out quick and proper. Any sort of staggered release, specially after the honeymoon period is over and people start shit talking it, will cause dropoffs on the follow up platforms.

I'm completely out of the loop, is the plan still to release only on console first?

The plan is Xbox and PS5 first

I think they need to sell around 37-38 million copies at around 70 dollars a piece to break even. Which would mean they need to triple the day 1 launch sales of GTA V.

That being said, GTA V did break a billion dollars within 3 days of launch. It isn't impossible for them to crack 3 billion within a week.
