GTA6 -
I predict big booty latinas and a ton of antiwhite girlboss cutscenes. Occasionally there will be some "real life - real talk" kinda **** that reminds us evil white ******* how we've done ****** da COLOREDS up the *** irrevocably for many moons and nothing will mend this deep wound other than licking ****** feet or something. It's an optimistic time for gaming!
Which would be the last major studio going woke, right?

"According to a new report, Rockstar Games has asked writers on GTA 6 — the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series — to be “less crude” toward transgender people and other minorities, a change up from previous games, including the latest Grand Theft Auto game, GTA 5.
The report comes the way of Bloomberg, and specifically, Jason Schreier, one of the best sources in the industry, and a source who has proven reliable when it comes to both Rockstar Games and Grand Theft Auto VI.
The report doesn’t elaborate on why Rockstar Games has asked its writers to make this change or what type of material impact it has has on the game’s development. All that is specifically claimed is that Rockstar “is asking its writers to be less crude toward transgender people and other minorities, the common targets of throwaway gags in previous versions.”"

I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

They have the occasional ****** man in a gaudy dress and women's shoes in some places in Cyberpunk 2077.
They're fun, because when I spot one, it's my signal that it's time for a crime spree.
They do not survive the experience.
Imaging seeing nigs being those kinds of nigs while driving in GTA 6 and being able to open up on them with a submachine gun and grenades, leaving a flaming ruin in its place.

You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.

Also, the dev count is likely higher, since these are "just" devs working for Rockstar directly. God knows how many more contractors they've used for this monstrosity.
It's no wonder they've delayed the game multiple times and are very skittish about showing it off, the code must be pure spaghetti and the game itself unoptimized as ****.

Yes, that's a game that will clearly have at least a dozen of fixing patches before being just playable.

Back in the day GTA 3 was pretty impressive and a marked leap forward.
Problem is that Rockstar have failed to evolve the formula ever since.

Sorry, you lost me the minute you mentioned Shenmue. That game is among the WORST offenders of the "cinematic" trend, and has aged like hot garbage in the Arizona desert. GTA at least HAS gameplay, a loop, and a plot worth giving a **** about.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ June 6th, 2025, 13:17GTA-style empty sandboxes were and remain a plague on the industry, need to go back in time and kill the people involved in making it so Shenmue wongerey wrote: ↑ June 6th, 2025, 13:15Back in the day GTA 3 was pretty impressive and a marked leap forward.

Oh I don't care about GTA at all, but I'll die before I consider Shenmue to be better than GTA. It's like saying shoving a stick up your *** is better than eating a burger or a hot dog.

GTA III had some nice out-of-the-box-thinking ways to resolve missions, wish they had leaned more into supporting that instead of the exact opposite, slapping your hand whenever you stray just a tad off the rails.
Even though the driving and combat were never that good, there's also lot of appeal in just letting people drive around a city (and additionally the countryside) listening to tunes or funny dialogue on the radio. Don't get that in Shenmue or Yakuza or what have you.
You play as a Japanese man who goes to China. It's about as "Aryan" as your average Somalian.

Exactly, that's the main thing that has aged poorly on most of these games. They now need to somehow fill the super wide but super shallow theme park sandbox, which is very hard even if they are highly competent.
It was one of the first very big games, but also one of the first super empty sandboxes.
Random fill is not quite the answer as this price point, outside of indie games, recalling how much Gothic 3 did not please players.
Recall that in Nomad Soul you could interact with most things at least for an animation, in the style of adventure games, and the other competitors, Morrowind and Gothic were quite dense games.
