If any game has me mildly excited its this one but even then, temper expectations....
10 years of development, during that period the woke mind virus infected the world, R* got hit with lawsuits over toxic behaviour and all the people behind the games pre this one got fired or quit. According to leaks this game has already had one full mid cycle reset essentially scrapping everything which means this thing has probably been designed by activist to portray "The Message", won't dare do any actually social commentary outside of pandering, will have no edge or blunt force comedy at all and will likely end up being the typical preachy AF, bland, boring, beige soup that "entertainment" has become these days.
Jesus fucking Christ I'm getting jaded in my old age
Also If you expect this to drop before 2025 you're in for a shock... January is TTs earnings call month, they always try do a big announcement in December to get the hype train running before the investors start asking questions and there's no bigger hype train the GTA 6.
seems internet brainrot has convinced people that a new grand theft auto isn't a cultural event
being hipsters doesn't make you cool
ah yes, the game that doesn't make you think: grand theft auto
i look forward to people screeching that it's 'gone woke'
You say that like its not a real problem that hasn't destroyed any and all legacy media and characters...
Star wars
Indiana Jones
Scooby Doo
Lord Of The Rings
Marvel (just in general)
Everything Disney has shit out since 2020
Dr Who
I'm sure there's more but the point is clear, GTA was defined by its editorial choices, it was happy to make fun of racism, throw shade at governments and do things that other games wouldn't dare touch with a 10 foot pole. If that stuff is missing then I'll be the first to say that yes, GTA has infact gone woke.
TBC I'm not saying it has nor am I wishing it, I just expect it.
Edit 2 - Fuck it, I'm gonna go full on for a bit, this will be off topic so unless it gets purged, only read on if you're capable of reason.
For my entire life I've considered myself to be left leaning, I always vote for the left party and I'm fairly liberal in general. I'm not anti queer at all, I'm not racist or a nationalist, what I am is anti establishment. We (the west) don't live in a democratic society, we do live in a capitalist society where the only only people with power are those who have money.
That said, I'm also capable of listening to both sides of a discussion (usually) and making a judgement based off of what I believe to be the best resolution. If that comes from the right then so be it, neither side is perfect any nobody has the answer to everything. I'm a firm believer that you need both viewpoints to reach a working conclusion to a problem, if you let one side take to much you end up with agenda, not policy.
Its pretty cliche to bring up the Nazis but in this case its actually appropriate, just as the Nazis were a danger to society so are the extreme leftists. See the Nazis wanted to craft humans into a perfect race, they called it the Aryans. The extreme liberals on the other hand want the opposite of that, I'm gonna call it the androgynous race. They won't be happy until everyone is gay, they are literally indoctrinating children right now across the US with woke garbage that is, literally, going to destroy an entire generation of humans.
Call me what you like but the fact remains, teaching kids in nursery that its normal to be gay IS going to wreak havoc with those kids ability to operate as an adult. Kids minds don't work in the same way as adults, you tell a kid something and they believe it 100%, it can actually be much harder to undo any lies when they grow up since at that age (called the formative years) what they learn literally stays with them forever. We simply should not be teaching kids about sex in schools in any way until maybe 9 or 10 and even then it should be factual and about health and safety, anything before that should come from the parents. Its not the governor of Californias job to tell anybodies 4 year old that they can be anything in terms of sexuality. A persons sexuality should be self discovered, not taught.
I'm not afraid to admit it, my own side has gone fucking insane and somebody needs to do something before we end up with an entire generation of non sexually functioning adults who are confused because what they were taught doesn't match up to what they are experiencing in the real world. Pandering is like a self fulfilling prophecy, the more you pander to people, the more groups climb onboard and expect to be pandered too and eventually you reach a point where everybody is always angry at something.
Also worth point out that much of the pandering is done by-proxy, IE you got Russel T Davies saying having Davros in a wheelchair is offensive to disabled people while actual disabled people are saying they really don't care at all. Its assumed offence, almost always the "affected" people don't care and in actuality, assumed offence is more offensive than the thing you changed ever was. Fun fact, black people and disabled people also understand the concepts of drama and comedy.
