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

[Rome's rightful successor]

I can't imagine the sheer management bloat to try and get 10 studios to do stuff.

Or speaking and coordinating with a team that speaks "english" but you will never be able to understand them.

 

[BrainSand63]

I've said this before. If you're apprehensive on modern culture, GTA VI would likely turn you off.

People recklessly driving off road vehicles on streets, black women twerking any and everywhere possible, obnoxious filming 24/7 with smartphones, that's reality, unfortunately. They're so self-absorbed, they probably think of that as just "black culture" without caring that it's disruptive behavior.

That’s honestly a huge reason I have zero interest in GTA 6. People these days suck, I don’t want to play a game that naturally reminds me of that every 5 minutes. I especially don’t need constant reminders of how obnoxious black people are.

I guess you could say the same is true for GTA IV and V, but everyone knows NYC and LA are disgusting shitholes filled with the dregs of society, whereas GTA VI feels like it’s trying to capture modern American society as a whole, at least in my opinion.

 

[The Last Stand]

Admit it, I'm sure a few people here will schedule PTO for GTA VI's launch into Thanksgiving. I know I will, but it's too early.

GTA, to my knowledge, has always been about satirizing and critiquing American culture, with the numbered entries in particular taking a swipe at whatever happened to be in the news and culture at that point in time.

I guess GTA VI will be no different.

 

[StacticShock]

>100% of the take and the heist was literally skipped
even got elite challenge, at least the heist didn't bug out because of desync so there's that.

f you're curious of how Strauss Zelnick became the business tycoon he is today as CEO of Take Two Interactive:

I'm rewatching this interview. If GTA VI would be woke to that extent, I doubt that Zelnick himself is hands-on with that particular approach. I think it's Rockstar themselves leaning into whatever creative directives they would decide for GTA VI. He's just the man above the curtain so to speak. I don't even think, beyond microtransactions, he gives any say on what video games are made.

You have all hambeast white women at the helm and it won't be balanced. It'll be vindicative, petty and obnoxiously current thing.

 

[Breadbassket]

Will GTA VI Online have an Oppressor Mk II on launch?

 

[The Sektur]

No disc version after all. Not at launch and not (as previously speculated) months after. Get fucked.

The matter was settled until it wasn't. On Thursday, an email accidentally provided (more) false hope for a GTA VI disc. The email, a response to a ticket filed to Rockstar Support asking for a disc-based version of Grand Theft Auto VI, stated, "You will be able to acquire a physical copy during the following months."

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the authenticity of the email as coming from Rockstar.

The language is being misinterpreted by a hopeful internet, a source with knowledge of the plans told THR. At this point in time, there are no plans for Grand Theft Auto VI discs to be printed — not at launch, and not months after. The email's use of the phrase "physical copy" there refers to the same "physical version" (the code in a case) announced on Wednesday, and its "the following months" language is a clunky reference to the months following Wednesday's announcement, the source said, and not the months following the Nov. 19, 2026 release. (Players will be able to begin the lengthy process of preloading the giant game on Nov. 12.)

 

[El Chacal De La Trompeta]

Disk latter was always retarded and hopium. Why they would fuck over current preorders like that.

 

[The Last Stand]

No disc version after all. Not at launch and not (as previously speculated) months after. Get fucked.

Assuming there would be a physical version of GTA VI on the inevitable PC release, I would think it would launch with 12-15 CDs since GTA V launched with seven.

We can hope, but I am worried. Why would RS have been able to resist beeing taken over by fat women who do not play games in all the management and directorial roles.
All other western studios has fallen, why would RS be different?

Dan Houser, who made GTA what GTA is and whose mind gave birth to all the stories and satire in GTA is no longer there. So I think it is absolutely possible the magic will be gone, the jokes, the satire it all left when Dan left.

I am firmly in the "Wait 2 weeks after launch and see before I buy" territory.
I expect there to be no racism, no homophobia, nothing edgy at all.
At least one of the protagonists will be Antifa and Trans. Main missions will involve attacking ICE facilities.
The main antagonist/boss will be someone that looks like Trump.
There will be a lot of political messaging about Trump denying healthcare to trans people.

This will be the first GTA, probably the first major Rockstar title where it isn’t written or supervised by Dan Houser. They will have some big shoes to fill.

 

[LightDragonman1]

Yeah, Houser was one of the main reasons Rockstar’s games turned out good. Heck, for all of the flaws and proto-woke stuff implied in it, RDR2 I still found brilliant.

Now that he’s gone, I wonder how the quality of GTA VI will turn out. It will sell and score 10/10s from reviewers based purely on the brand, but I still have doubts that it will be able to hold onto the reputation the series has.

 

[The Last Stand]

Clear as day that Lucia is female and Jason is, I believe a male ex-Army soldier.

The main antagonist/boss will be someone that looks like Trump.

I want to guess the antagonist would be that nicely dressed Latin guy.

 

[atrocious esteban]

This is a real, unironic post from some antiwoke group I'm in. Do these fucking monkeys even know where Miami is? It's literally 70% Latino.

 

[YouGuysAren'tThatSmart]

I can’t wait for this to cause the second gaming bubble burst. The people developing this game aren’t going to be able to deliver all the AI bs they have been shoveling out for a decade. I’m expecting Mindseye levels of glitches and bugs, but on a much greater scale, because when this releases everyone is going to go through this game with a fine tooth comb. I honestly can’t remember any of the main releases being shit on for bug issues, other than the crappy high def releases from a couple years ago.

BtW: Is sweetbabyinc involved with this horseshit?

 

[The Last Stand]

Notice the engraved numbers on both revolvers. Bottom one is 291002, that’s Vice City’s release date. 29th of October 2002. Top one is 311006, that’s Vice City Stories’ release date. 31st of October 2006.

Also, notice the scope too. VCS had a scope in its revolver. Jason was in the Army as Vic Vance was too. Very clever.

What are you playing it on? I bought the PC version recently, having originally beat it on PS3. I suspect there may be issues with the port.
