if it doesn't have VR mode supported then I can't play it because I've transcended
Transcended the rectum, right into the colon.
once you do this in VR it's never the same any other way
That's why I'll never smoke crack.
Watched without sound.
It looks... Alright, I guess. Very photo real. Not super colorful. Kind've looks like a modern crime drama, which gives me a bad taste and feels like it's gonna be shitty. That one scene walking out of the convince store with the beer, though, was super trashy and I could get behind that.
A thought I had while watching: gta:vc came out in 2002. It takes place in 1986. That means THAT level of nostalgia and romanticization of the period was only looking back 16 years.
16 years before 2026 would be 2010. They easily could have done another period piece with gta6 for vice City in the 90s, 00s, or 2010s. But I guess now that I think about it, things are more fucked up and insane now than they've been in a long time, so why not satirize what's going on in the world today? It's prime juicy bullshit, kind've like what gta3 did in 2001. So it's fine I guess.
Maybe they'll have good music and really good social commentary? I think then we're entering a new era of GTA - where instead of satirizing and sensationalizing a vibe like a movie would, it's just going to straight up do it to real life. GTA then has a lot of opportunity to reinvent itself, basically, as The Onion - The Game, based in Miami.
Will they? Likely no. It would take balls to make a game essentially shitting all over magas. Rockstar is going to have to pull off a hattrick in their writing and tone to pull this off, despite an open and for the taking goldmine that is reality, and they don't have the cajones anymore.
I'll see how the release does on pc and likely play it as long as they don't monetize it past game price, and maybe future expansions. If there are periodical passes, this might be the first mainline title of theirs I'll skip. The shark cards in gta5online, how grindy that was, the loading times, and hedging tone and neutured jokes in the single player, has them already at a very low karma standing for me. It also better release on steam.
This game will absolutely break records, regardless. This is just me from this trailer, without sound.
Dumbest take of all time besides when Trump speaks.
Imagine judging a a trailer with no sound and saying "it looks all right" like if it truly doesn't look insane.
"Not super colorful" mfer you color blind??? They nailed the anesthetics of Miami. Guess you can't see all the neon lights, and the beautiful dresses and the colors of the cars nor the weather. Yea super not colorful 🤡
And you bet your ass Rockstar is gonna lean on all these fools you think Rockstar backs down from making fun of world events? Lmao
I think it's interesting how much nostalgia there was for the 80s 20 years ago, compared to 00s nostalgia today. It feels like the cultural/aesthetic differences between the 80s and 00s are so much stronger than the 00s and today.
All that to say I kinda disagree on making GTA 6 a 2000s period piece
Good gravy the first few seconds looked like live action. Hope Matt Berry is in this one
75 million views on one day is insane
This is what people like. Nice
I love how it starts with Jason saying "Just fixing a few leaks". I see what you did there.
"Hey! Didja know she has an ass! We here at Rockstar aren't sure you're aware she's got cakes, so we thought you'd like to know! ASS!"
saved you a click.
Sex sells. For a given character, their specific character designs are basically the only reason to be there. It's like a third of the reason why people play (second being the game is fun, first being the game is affordable)
You might not like it. You might gaslight yourself and others into believing it's not true.
But it is
Look at Concord
Look at Marvel rivals
No one in their right mind would want to be, even less play as a 15 dollar Baymax bootleg in Play-Doh armor, or to look like an inner city gender slug who's also Ronald Macdonald's cousin.
Even less after shelling 40 bucks on it
