I wanted to buy the game anyway; you don't have to keep selling me on it.

First time I'm even thinking about going back to GTA after the ignominious death of Saints Row :/

I prefer my mass crime simulators funny but no one's really doing that anymore

Wait what happened to Saints Row? EDIT Nevermind, I never even heard of Saints Row 2022

Nevermind, I never even heard of Saints Row 2022

I envy you

[-] Jamablaya@lemmy.today 7 points 3 days ago

I feel like I remember saints row 3 being very good and 4 being kinda lame

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

Volition (Saints Row devs) were planing on making an actual Saints Row 4, but their Publisher THQ went backrupt, so they decided to turn the Saints Row 3 DLC into Saints Row 4 (There was supposed to be some extra missions were you met with previous dead saints members and was this cool moment but they had to cut that due to time and lack of a proper budget).

According to internet fascists, it went woke :(

[-] Jamablaya@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago

Was it any good? I'm thinking not because I would have heard of it.

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No, it was unfinished mess and it had a bad story (not because of "woke" or whatever) it was just boring with boring characters and non-sense plot, and it being a reboot it didn't have anything good from the previous games.

The developers wanted to make a funny game but at the same time be a gangster game like saints row 1 and 2. I heard the plot was about how the Saints gang begun and I guess it also had the Vice Kings and Los Carnales. They also wanted to return the series main villains, the Ultor Company.

The producers didn't want any of that, they wanted a GTA/Watch Dogs 2 clone, I heard they didn't want the developers to use the color purple (which is the main color of the Saints Row series and the gang). The developers had to fight to keep it that way. They also rewrote a lot of scripts with millennial jokes and other things that had nothing to do with the Saints Row series. In the end, they didn't even give the developers time to finish the game properly and the result was a horrible, bug-ridden mess.

If you want a good gangster Saints Row game, just play the Saints Row 2 on pc with the Gentleman of the Row mod. And if you want a wacky Saints Row game, just play Saints Row 3.

You have been banned from GTA Online for being cis ban-hammer

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 25 points 3 days ago

You've heard of "Gay for Pay"

Now try "Gay for GTA"

[-] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 24 points 3 days ago

The G in GTA stands for Gay

[-] BGDelirium@hexbear.net 25 points 3 days ago

Gay Trans Asexuals

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

I remember back in the day one of the metas was playing a girl, because the highest heels you could buy made you harder to head shot (auto aim locked to a certain height on enemy players and heels made your head higher than normal)

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

The girl models ran faster than boys, too. Helped out in some of the games.

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 34 points 3 days ago

please let this be real that'd be so fucking funny

[-] hand@lemmy.studio 13 points 3 days ago

Excuse my rant: I've personally lost interest in GTA6 after Rockstar added that shitty, exploitable, kernel-level anticheat (which broke Linux compatibility for a previously working game) to GTA:V

I've not tested it but apparently the only way to play online now is to cheat (bypass Battle eye) something I'm not interested in doing, not for GTA5 and certainly not GTA6.

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

I loved Online when it first released. But, them completely ignoring any kind of SP updates or dlc in favor of shoving more grind into the game to convince you to buy more shark cards really killed it for me. RDROnline just proved that i was correct and they only care about mtx now.

Pity. It'll be 2027 and a year of good reviews from people i know irl before i try GTA6.

[-] TheVelvetGentleman@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Just wait for the crack. Dont like a game company's practices? Steal their shit. Pirating games is praxis.

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Oh yeah. Nintendo is proving that handily.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago

they really are trying to make it authentic to Florida, I guess.

[-] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago

I thought gentle would have been extra woke

[-] Blakey@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago

will 6 finally be the right time for me to get back into GTA?

[-] ahriboy@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Time will tell. Certain CDPR employees have started their own rival company, The Witcher 4 will have serious competition.

[-] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

For some reason, I read this in the voice of Nick Mullen as Karl Childers from Sling Blade.

I have no idea how so many people are excited for mass shooting event simulator 2025

[-] TheVelvetGentleman@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

And have you heard what the kids are listening to these days? Sounds like devil worship to me.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Sir, Postal 4 is that way

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

not sure if this is sarcasm or not

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

idk I go around in Cyberpunk 2077 murdering literally everyone with a bounty on their head and enforcing my strict no open casket policy with railgun shots to the face
