So is it confirmed you play a troon or is that just 4chan screeching?

I feel like I see this face everywhere now. It's the new "perfect" human, half nigga, half latina, half white, curly hair, green eyes, freckles. A demon basically.

Imagine R* and T2 are being cucked by one of Houser brothers because they laid off their sibling few years back.

How is GTA5? I ever got it after the fiasco of 4, but it's on a sale and relatively cheap now. Should I get it?
It's awful, only get it if you hate yourself. Read more about it here:

The tone is inconsistent to the point of incoherency. The story structure is endlessly meandering. The humor is broad, lazy, and scattershot. The characters have abrupt and unearned shifts in behavior that the writer tries to pass off as character arcs. Its depiction of California culture is ugly, mean, and oddly shallow.

RIP Shamus

Woah. I thought it was mediocre, specially after the RDR2 hoax, but this is even worse.

I think I'll pass then.

Last good GTA was San Andreas. They went full retard with 4 and 5 is just soulless garbage.
Fully agree. There was a series of leaks a few months ago IIRC, which consisted of: new free approaches in missions, combat and stealth equally viable, no mission failed if you step too much to the right or to the left sides, new cop spawning and searching system, RPG elements like in RDR2 and a bunch others. Honestly it got my attention. Would be interesting to see how Rockstar would add these things in a GTA game especially. But I'm not holding my breath. God knows what could change until release and if any of that stuff is even true.

It's the "Kalergi plan" next-step in human "evolution". A raceless, rootless, brown creature of mediocre intelligence, fit only to obey the elites in power.

GTA4 has the best combat and combat arenas of any of the 3D GTA games. It's just hampered by the boring and annoying friends system. But gameplay wise it's the best 3D GTA, it has the best shooting, the best driving, the most fun cops to get in chases and shootouts with, the best AI reactions, and the most fun city simulation stuff. All that shit got dumbed in GTA5.

San Andreas has a lot of fun ideas. It's got the best character upgrades system, and it's stupid Rockstar dropped that after San Andreas. But from a gameplay perspective it's a pretty shitty game just like GTA3 and Vice City are pretty shitty games; although San Andreas has slightly better shooting than the previous two games. It is the last numbered one to still be wacky in the way GTA had always been wacky, but The Ballad of Gay Tony was a return to that. Gay Tony is probably the best 3D GTA because it's like the old GTA people liked, with all the improvements GTA4 brought, but without the stuff people hated about GTA4. If you're interested in playing a "modern" GTA I'd just say get Gay Tony Silva.

GTA5 is like an ever increasing series of disappointment. It feels like a game that was completely neuter for the online mode. And it feels like it has some interesting ideas which it either executes badly, or doesn't even try to do at all. Like Trevor feels like he was originally meant to be there so you could build and run a drug (and gun running) empire. It's very easy to imagine a version of GTA5 where switch to Trevor lets you play a big GTA version of Drug Wars, but nothing ever happens with his drug business in any kind of gameplay sense. There's a heist system that on the face of things seems pretty cool, but they locked it down into a completely linear based system that's only tied into the story as opposed to a free form system that allows you to set up jobs yourself and go forward with whatever available crew you have at the time. And that's just apart from the gameplay and underlying systems being worse than the previous game, which isn't something you'll discover all at once playing GTA5, it's instead something that comes at you in waves.

Whatever you are smoking, stop buying it and change your supplier.

"The best combat" when you can "blind"-fire with pinpoint accuracy, when you can't change your shoulder while aiming, when your character operates on tank controls, when the cover system is rarely there to cover you from bullets and gameplay consists of of whack-a-mole stupid AI. "The best driving" when even developers admitted cars felt like boats with wheels, where every car has suspension made out of jelly and the city is annoying to navigate thanks to all the construction sites or concrete barriers. "The most fun cops" when you can easily jog away in the middle of the street and police will do fuck-all to stop you.

I've played GTA 4 recently it's still piece of stinking dung. The only saving grace is new graphics and physics engine. I can imagine Rockstar was laying tracks with the tech and they had strict deadlines to deliver the game and they have barely made it. It's one thing making a table-top tennis, it's the other when you can have up to 100 vehicles, pedestrians - all physics enabled - in open world with a player in the middle.

I hated it back in 2008 when people were circle-jerking the game that had removed half the activities Vice City and San Andreas have provided us. And I hate it now when people say the same shit "GTA V driving bad, story bad, rpg and sims mechanics bad". As if people were stuck in 2001 and want to play Mafia except in series where you were tasked with turning people into hotdogs or spreading porn fliers from sea-plane on the streets of Miami.

Yea I have also seen a weird fetish for the 'Asian girl with freckles' mongrel-oid. Gotta keep a hint of old whitey in there as we know most of the worlds population worships it.

I can already predict that the male lead character is going to be some cowardly, stupid beta that gets henpecked by YASS QUEEN SLAY Latina, her being the one in charge and giving orders. Naturally, she also looks like shit to not make the femoid/troon contingent feel jealous or threatened. Additionally, whatever shreds of humors and cutting social commentary were left by GTA 5 are likely gone as well, this will be just a more polished Soy Rows, filled with the same woke energy.

Also, anyone seriously hoping this is going to be anything more than a way to get people into GTA: Online 2 should lower their expectations. Rockstar is never going back to putting effort into the singleplayer portion of their games.

Vice City perfectly captured that show. Every time I would boot up the game I would remember that intro.

Too bad about the shit gameplay.

The entire GTA franchise is pretty shit gameplay wise, same goes for the clones. Most of the value here is from the novelty of the open world you can do crime in and not because the third person shooting and driving are any good. Your favorite game will probably be the 1st, second or 3rd one you played, depending on how quickly you got tired of the formula.

You can improve on the formula but then you have to make something other than a 3rd person cover shooter and that's a lot harder to do than making a ton of cutscenes.

I enjoyed the game play of Vice City.
