Everything mainstream will turn woke eventually. I’ve resigned myself to it

Literally edgy jokes and satire are the DNA of the GTA franchise. It’s okay to kill people but not to make fun of anyone

They outsourced the remasteres of 3, Vice City, and GTA to a company that dropped the ball, which is already hitting them.

Doing stupid shite like this is more goodwill that goes away.

Not woke enough if she’s not a trans, omnisexual, furry with xe pronouns.

Let's see how their attempt at going woke goes. Video game industry, as a whole, doesn't make very much. I'm sure going with a female protagonist will cater to majority male video game players.

They're making a game where you emulate Bonnie and Clyde but they don't want to offend anybody with crude jokes? They should call it Grand Theft Auto Clown World.

Thank god, that's the last thing I want to have to hear in a game where I can kill a prostitute to get my money back.

No surprise. There was tidbits of woke shite in RDR2.

Not sure why people keep saying this. Companies know the woke shite is hurting their sales and they produce the products anyways. This tells me that profit is not their main driver.

This reeks of being ESG related.

Well good. I'll still be able pick up a hooker, screw her and then murder her to get my money back before I mow down 50 civilians on the sidewalk. Just as long as I don't have to hear any sexists jokes I don't see anything objectionable about this game.

I remember playing Saints Row and having a random NPC say "you crazy n----r!" as I walked by.

Those days of video games are gone.

It's moments like these when I know all my not giving a shite has paid off. I thought maybe I missed out on some culturally significant thing by never playing GTA. Clearly not.

One of my favorite parts of GTA3 was running over the gay guy who shouted out lines from the Village People. "You can thail the theven theas." "Young man!" "In the navy!"

Like what? Not saying there is not, but I did not notice much. Unless killing Klan members is woke

I think the point of the post was to point out the new game is going in a DIFFERENT direction as far as satire than the previous games. The past games are a tremendous amount fun from a gameplay prospective and the writing. culturally significant...eh maybe not but a shite load of fun and biting humor...hell yes.
