Spoke too soon maybe

You are literally buying into his clickbsit and pot stirring by giving any credence to this made up on the spot BS.

It's drama alert dude. This is what he does.

 

[Certinty]

The only think i'm skeptical about is going from three protagonists to two given how well they actually pulled it off. Unless there's another character we don't know about yet.

 

[ProtoByte]

A damn sight better than..

Well it's looking like I'll be eating some hat, GTA VI certainly looks the part. Keep that Sweet baby inc away though mind you.

Although, is that even possible these days within tripple A?

Sweet Baby Inc is the latest scapegoat, but there are other "entities" that do and have been doing this shit for years. At a certain point, it becomes self-fulfilling, after you've hooked HR and adjacent departments on corporate training derived from Sweet Baby/GLAAD/Feminist Frequency ideology.

 

[Stafford]

Lol where the hell did the trans rumor come from?
Come on, there is a specific kind of people who spend their lives online, stirring things up and creating rumors.

Also, isn't "gender guessing/assuming" an offense these days? Why are they doing it?

And the source of that twitter dude is Reddit. That's all it was. Folks just making up shit and people believing it, lmao.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I meant to ask someone a question. If Xbox is your preferred console which do you want:

Kneecap current Series console sales by launching the next Xbox sooner... or MS holding until 2028.

MS could get in a situation where they are constantly jump starting their next gen plans if Xbox sales dont go well.

Xbox always was my preferred console until everything started coming to PC

That said I want a new console every 4 to 5 years as 8 years on consoles nowadays is just way too long

And no way Xbox is holding off until 2028, I don't care what leaked documents said that were a year or two old, I am certain they have shifted gears

 

[GudOlRub]

Spoke too soon maybe

Dude's source is a reddit shitpost and people are buying it...
The internet should be nuked and these people should be banned from it for life.

 

[Toons]

Just because someone said it doesn't make it true

.....

. My point is objectively correct

Im going to apply your own advice lmao

But nah, Disney isn't even at the forefront of it, they're just the trendiest to talk about. The one movie that came out from them this year everyone liked had the exact same stuff as the other ones everyone claimed was "woke"

Tlou2, spider man 2, God of War got rhe same BS hurled at them and those had way less stuff than this game is probably going to, and even in this trailer that has nothing out of the ordinary in it because you play a female who does things other than cook its woke to some people

Only thing that's objective is that nothings objective when it comes to that BS catch all moniker, its mesningless and ironically reveals more about one's own agendas than it does any actual ones being pointed out. Been that way for a while now.

 

[funking giblet]

No-one is buying it, just stop posting it. Just more pantshitting from the pantshitters. This game is 18+, stop acting like 13 year old edge lords on about fucking WOKE all the time. It's you, you are the ones who never shut up!

 

[64bitmodels]

Just because someone said it doesn't make it true. My point is objectively correct and can be seen in the recent string of Disney flops, the horrible Amazon LOTR series, and loads of other places.

can it also be seen in God of War Ragnarok, Alan Wake 2, Spiderman 2, both horizon games, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas & 5, Street Fighter 6, and Baldur's Gate 3? You know, games which are "woke" for one reason or another?

You guys lost your shit on the fucking Starfield pronoun selection screen. You people are so wrapped up in this woke hunting it's preventing you from being excited for the biggest game of the 2020s. This fucking culture war BS is awful and cancerous.

Take a step back. Eat a snickers.

 

[amigastar]

I can see from the trailers that Rockstar increased the amount of NPC's in the game.

Third character is 43 year old Niko from GTA 4 cameo

So 8 years lifecycle of consoles is too long, but a game taking 10 years to develop is fine?

Great logic

 

[rogr rogr]

What if, 10 months from now, R* announces an early release for 2024 holydays?

Yeah, let's make people crazy all over again.

Trying to see where I said it was fine in my eyes to take 10 years to develop a game, great reading comprehension

Well i mean, if we have longer time development of games then we should have longer lifecycle of consoles.

 

[GermanZepp]

Its a shame twerking has taken sexual precidence in society. A woman with a slow, diliberate grind is by far the superior expression and method.

I couldn't agree more, dear gentleman

Yep. That's a Florida Man.

Love how accurate the foliage, unmanicured lawns and stucco is on the homes. This is literally going to be SimHome for us residents.

 

[Windom Earle]

You're going to look back on the days when you posted stuff like this unironically snd be embarassed.

lol one can only hope.

Rockstar Games Cleaned Up Its Frat-Boy Culture — and Grand Theft Auto, Too

With a new tone at the company and a change in creative direction, GTA VI will probably feel very different from its predecessor

That "frat-boy-culture" is likely the main reason the previous games are as good as they are

 

[Chuck Berry]

Yep. That's a Florida Man.

That's actually my neighbor

 

[Stafford]

I fucking hate it. Why do I want to waste time refueling my car? Pointless. I play games to not have everything in real life translated over to a game.

It wouldn't surprise me. RDR2 had stuff that was extremely realistic too, sometimes a bit much but I can see it being the case. Maybe they can find a way that it won't be a hassle. And who knows, maybe it's solely for NPCs.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Just look at the contrasts in comedy of today compared to 10+ years ago. You still have your outlaws, but even then they sanitized their acts a bit.

Hopefully this isn't as lame and too on the nose in the writing parody department. Visual parody is one thing, much easier to nail, just open TikTok and copy/paste... but the writing is where we will notice if there's a major shift.

 

[amigastar]

Much better details on NPC's than previous titles.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Any hilarious posts from reeeeee? They gotta be fumming over the female characters actually being attractive.

 

[Stafford]

What if, 10 months from now, R* announces an early release for 2024 holydays?

Yeah, let's make people crazy all over again.

Would be so good, but nah. I just hope they feel very, very confident about early 2025. That would be a year from now, that is super doable. But Rockstar always delays, so yeah, we'll see. Best is to just expect holiday 2025 and be overjoyed if it's early 2025.

 

[CherryFalls]

It's why most games used to be good. Nerdy white dudes who got to be cool making games for us should have gatekept gaming a long time ago

 

[Banjo64]

Fair to say GTA is the GOAT media franchise?

These figures can’t be matched.

And sell overpriced cookies to simps like that bitch Pokimane, lmfao.

Im way out of the loop and don't watching streamers, so I have no idea who poki poki is....

 

[saintjules]

Loved that trailer. Except for the 2025 part at very end. 2025 - WTF?

 

[Mr1999]

Spoke too soon maybe

I doubt it but it would not surprise me, she does look non-binary, looks like both man and woman depending on the picture, guess it's what they were shooting for. Plus when the game was leaked some people ran it and had similar reaction.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Wouldnt be surprised if this fruity dicknose tags along for a job or two and then gets busted for being a dumbass.

Already looks like a Wade equivalent lol new era though with the danger hair

 

[Stafford]

 

[Twinblade]

People can wait forever, you can see how the gap between GTA 3 and GTA 5 will be big or bigger as the gap between GTA 5 and GTA 6.

We got 2 GTA games before GTA 5 in that time period. San Andreas and GTA 4.

 

[mckmas8808]

Looks like a celebration of bullshit thug culture.

Have you ever played a GTA game? You realize it's about mafias and gangs right?

 

[yamaci17]

I fucking knew it! I'mma go on a crime spree dressed just like that! Dayum Lucia is fine!

she will be my biggest crush in video games history. the most simping I will do for. I already got in a fury state when I saw her in leaks but this is something else

i'd be okay if a mod gives me the under text simp for lucia

 

[danklord]

Who cares about how long or how many people it takes when you're making a masterpiece? The franchise's continued success is built upon an uncompromised vision and scale.

 

[Dutchy]

Scroll through this comment thread and take a shot every time you hear the word "woke" used

For a game trailer that has literally nothing even beginning to approach woke in it

Culture war has rotted so many young minds and itd gonna take a long time to heal

Nahhh, people think this is woke? I guess that's what happens when you look at life through the lens of an average twitter/reddit user. Go outside ffs.

On topic: Never been that crazy about GTA. I'll put in my 20-30 hours and be done with it. This looks insane though. Knowing what I know about the games and how interactive/accessible everything is going to be, this might become the best open world game in a decade or two to come. I don't think anything comes close really. Looks insanely pretty and fun.

Yeah thats def her with the long straight hair. My preference for her look total.

 

[Sethbacca]

Yes, because having the exact same game made for the better part of 3 or 4 decades is exactly what an industry needs to prevent stagnation. The lengths you all go to in an effort to protect your fragile egos in a changing world is just breathtaking.

No matter what they do I think it will sell just fine... don't see them going down the way of Budweiser
