I've said it before: GTAVI's cost will come in around USD$1,000,000,000. Take2 will expect it to deliver an order of magnitude of that across its lifetime. There's no way they'll risk offending The Wrong People®, and so they'll simply lampoon the usual pre-approved list of acceptable targets. They'll mock the media, tech companies, Hollywood, YouTube culture, and social media, and the usual easy targets like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders. If you're expecting honest cultural satire from a billion dollar Western video game, you haven't been paying attention.

Nobody is ready for the dark pits of the internet that Al Bundy has been.

I've been to hell and back.
You try to live with a useless wife and rotten kids.
The most horrific scenes on the internet dont even come close to years of near death experience.
You think you go towards the light only to be yanked back by this bitch

I absolutely hate all the woke shits and the insane and disgusting stuff they tried to normalized and push but let's get down to the brass tacks here. I highly doubt GTA VI is going to be anywhere close to the shitty level of wokeness that is Dustborn, Veilguard, Saints Row reboot etc. The first trailer alone already showed ladies shaking their asses and a hot character turning around. Plus there's definitely going to be a lot of these things throughout the whole game with pretty female characters and other things. And 99% of the people into GTA VI would be mainly for the online mode just like GTA V. The fun single player GTA stories died after the PS2. GTA V's story was pretty boring so 99% of the players got it to mess around online and GTA VI would be no different. And as mentioned it won't be anywhere as annoyingly woke as most of the other games even if it ends up having those elements.

 

[Myths]

It’s GTA, it has always been known to be both inclusive and offensive. Who cares…

 

[Bashtee]

Honestly, I think that's a good move. Transpeople are catching a lot of strays for no reason except existing, and this is probably going to be an absolute nothing burger. Less offensive also isn't equal to not offensive.

The only thing I remember about GTA5 is switching to Trevor, who woke up on a mountain in a pink dress. I then tried to walk down and got killed by a mountain lion.

I literally didn't even know GTA5 had trans jokes until someone pointed it out, no one will care about this shit once the game releases.

Same, and yeah.

 

[adamsapple]

I Can show you sites where nothing is normalized lol.

"It only smellzzz" lololol

Is it wrong that I know exactly what this is, lol.

 

[lordrand11]

Journalist Jason Schreier shared an article today about Grand Theft Auto VI, revealing that game publishers are afraid of Rockstar Games' game, so there are no release dates.

Among the information shared in the article, Jason Schreier reports that Rockstar Games has instructed scriptwriters to avoid content that offends transgender people and other minorities.

And ya'll motha fuckas will still play it. Guaranteed.

Endymimion was right then?

Sure is strange how often "grifters" and "conspiracy theorists" end up being completely correct, eh?

Nope.

Times are changing. People got burned way too often.

It's getting tougher every year to sell political propaganda games.

Some will buy it. Some will pirate it. But there will be a huge portion of the critical early adopter mass who won't play it.

When you know......you know

 

[digital_ghost]

But hookers still refill health, right?

You are required to watch a "why violence is bad" video every time you kill a hooker in GTA 6

 

[Barakov]

Yeah, this doesn't bode well at all.

 

[SaturnSaturn]

I dont know what you guys expected, you play as a single mom for christ sake lmao

 

[Burger King]

I hope they delay it to include as much offensive content as possible

 

[Quartermuncher]

What's more annoying: woke or anti-woke?

One side calls everything Woke so its lost all meaning. Said side has also bitched about Wokeness to the point where ResetEra is officially the less whiny of the two forums.

What makes GTA games good? The jokes and stuff was never the reason why I enjoyed them.

 

[captainnapalm]

It's going to be interesting to see where the satire falls. If GTA stays true to its ethos there should be a lot of making fun of woke insanity in this game, along with the usual laughing at rednecks. Also there should be a lot of making fun of just the general decadence and depravity of modern culture - so again that should put woke nonsense in the firing line. Let's hope this isn't GTA for "modern audiences" *shudder*.

 

[Paasei]

Lmao i know y'all will be there day one.

I won’t. Gotta wait another year (if lucky) for the PC version. So there you go……

They're clearly against kink shaming. Psycho-sexual sadism, autogynephilia...

Fucking hell. Looks like all jokes will be on straight white males as no jokes allowed on transgenders, women, blacks, Asians, Hispanics etc.

ofc ill play it but if it is as its rumored i wont be buying it

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

If you have been following the changes in GTA online, this won't be a surprise.. .
R* is not like it was...

 

[Aurelius]

Finally a GTA for modern audiences.

 

[Melchiah]

Good. I can't wait to see snowflakes crying about "woke" GTA in their safe spaces, as usual. It's going to be fun.

 

[Loxus]

Should have known with all that purple in the sky.

They might rebrand it to Grand Trans Auto 6.

 

[Autistic_Pancake]

Grand Woke Auto

 

[Lokaum D+]

you will be able to kill all of Lucia's enemies freely (aka the system, police, upper middle class etc)

but i want to kill minorities

 

[balls of snow]

Guess what guys, Half Life 3 will be woke as well.

 

[april6e]

I'm sure all the members on here who whine whenever the handful of games that come out a year that don't purely cater to them will do plenty of complaining about this game's wokeness while dropping $100+ on the special edition pre order.

 

[thismeinteil]

If ever there was a time for Saints Row to rise up and actually become competition to GTA, it would be now. Too bad they went woke years ago.

 

[Bernardougf]

And ya'll motha fuckas will still play it. Guaranteed.

Nop... Im not a crack addicted... if the game has elements I dont like no matter what they are.. I wont play it anymore.. too much competition for my time anyway.

 

[PatientGamer]

they'll go more 'inclusive', but will still be heavily anti-right I bet - because society accepts taking the piss out of everyone who isn't a SBI loser.

If they half-ass it, gamers everywhere will let them know about it.

 

[Bernardougf]

Oldest trick in the book.. try to push some niche social/political crazy agenda, see it fail with mass rejection and than proceed to the usual "well those rejecting and protesting against our lunatic ideas are just as bad because reasons"

When failing miserably just try too make everyone look bad... when everyone is bad nobody is ... par for the course for this mentally ill people

Yeah.. exactly what happened to suicide squad, Concord, Vailguard ... just empty whining and complaining... in the end everybody bought this huge successful games.

 

[Rawbutt Jellybean]

I don't mind skipping this. Every game has a big open world these days with tons of miniquests and the gameplay was never that special. Even thought the gameplay of RDR2 was actually kind of bad. Not GTA but similar enough and really the only thing they've done in the last decade. GTA being willing to joke about anyone and everything was the big draw and what made it memorable. If it's going to be toned down then it's not worth my time or money, simple as.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Press F for doubt.

GTA is the last type of game that will conform to the woke mob. If anything, even more noise about its political incorrectness would only boost their sales.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

I didn't like GTA V so it'd be disappointing, but not surprising if it sucks.

I just hope one day someone good will take the reigns.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Vast groups of people are in GTA games but it’s about the drugs, the arguments over drug deals, triads, mafia, and yes unfortunately minorities get heckled in GTA games, still in good fun.

This.

And even if both side does complain just as much than it still doesn't matter since the purple side's views are completely wrong, twisted, sick, insane, and something that should have never even be a debate in the first place let along normalized and worse being pushed onto others. The opposite side "anti woke" are basically normal people who are sick and tired of the insane evil upside down views from the other side and rightfully so. Since the woke side aren't merely pushing a debate but something completely sick, insane, and things that shouldn't have ever been a debate in the first place. And that account is obvious one of those purple lunatics since it's over a year old and only has 19 messages.

Yeah GTA V, at least it's story mode was pretty boring. I did still enjoy V a lot but in it's online mode messing around with other players. Almost 2000 hours in online and only beaten the story mode once. So I'm not too worried about GTA VI since it'll be 99% online for me. For it's story, worse case scenario is I'll find it boring but passable just like V and best case scenario is I end up liking it more than V's story. I do think I'll like it more than V's story cause Vice City is my favorite city.

 

[mrqs]

Come on guys, let's boycott GTA 6! The industry must learn!!!!

 

[Bluecondor]

I liked the vibe of the trailer from last year. It didn't feel preachy at all, and it still felt like an enjoyable Rockstar satire of American pop culture and life.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Rockstar trying to figure out if the market is more woke or less woke these days:

Man fuck what yall talkin bout day 1
