Sounds like we’re getting Catalina or her daughter from the old Vice City.
Catalina was in GTA 3. who was her daughter in Vice City?

I don't care if NPC's don't say racist shite anymore. Can I still get in a tank and frick shite up? That's all that matters to me.

Not Catalina’s daughter, based on time settings for each game, but Mercedes was an NPC in Vice City that figured into quite a few missions.
Vice City was set in 1986; 3 was set around the turn of the millennium (released in 2001). I’d say each character is around the same age, but neither character would be in this game because each era has its own continuity, but I wouldn’t be surprised to hear passing mentions of past characters, especially Tommy, whose VA passed away recently (Ray Liotta).

So do you pay for the hooker's medical bills after you beat them?

No, they won’t even charge $500 to get out of the hospital after you die moving forward. The GTA verse will soon have universal healthcare.

Going to be the worst GTA ever. No one wants a pc GTA the ceo of rockstar should be fired on spot for approving this pile of horse shite.

Female protagonist virtue signal failed. They have had female protagonists in games going back to the 90s.
How do we know its virtue signaling and them not just putting a female protagonist in the game? Like you said, there have been female protagonists in games since the 90s. Were they virtue signaling?
I'm genuinely asking, not trying to make a statement one way or the other. I think inserting a female in WW1 combat like Battlefield 1 did was pretty clearly virtue signaling, but why can't there just be a female protagonist in a GTA game as a character decision? Did you think they were just going to have dudes as the main character forever?

There can be. If you want to take an isolated view of this decision, go for it. It'd probably be better to see it as one of the dots projecting where this company is heading and try to connect them.
If you want to preorder this game because you totally trust them, great. After what they let happen to the original trilogy, I have zero faith in the new leadership at Rockstar. There will be plenty of time to pick it up before GTA VII comes out, if I'm wrong.

Im far less concerned about a female protagonist than I am about their comment about “punching down”. I think you could write a storyline about a female player character and have it be true to the gta formula. Nobody bitches about Ellen Ripley in alien. Why? She was a well written character.
The usual strategy for tepid inclusive entertainment media is to put out dogshit that hits all the right intersectional themes. Don’t like it? Must be because of the female character, you misogynist.
Rockstar was put on the map for subversive clever satire. If I wanted comedy that was inclusive, I’d go watch Nanette.

I feel like females and "people of color" are extremely overrepresented now.

The female protagonist is at the bottom of the list of red flags for me, as far as the future of Rockstar goes. About 20 years ago, two of my favorites were the No One Lives Forever games.
Nothing about having a female as the protagonist felt forced or groundbreaking(Tomb Raider was even old news by then). We'll see if the same can be said about GTA VI.
All I know is that the "remaster" was the last time that I'll be buying a Rockstar game before the reviews start rolling out.

C’mon Jack! The social uprising originated with Tomb Raider. Lora Croft was too fair skinned, athletic, and big busted for society, and she was downsized in every subsequent iteration.
I guarantee the next GTA heroine will follow the archetype of Lizzo…let’s see who wants to spend $70 doing that.

it wasn't their's. they were too cheap to do it.
Yeah. I just meant that they were their original cash cows and they had no problem handing them over to Grove Street Games to totally butcher.
If anyone has the resources to hire enough talented developers to remaster games and have a team dedicated to DLC for Story Mode(that could be purchased), it's Rockstar.
I'd happily pay 30-40 bucks for a full expansion for story mode every few years, as long as they wanted to keep releasing them.
ETA that I'd happily pay for something as simple as new music added(not switched out for songs currently on the soundtrack) to the radio stations every now and then. But they won't even throw story mode players that bone.

It won't be based in the 80s again

Honestly they should have just let Tim Dillon write the script and do all the radio. Instead it’s going to be garbage. To quote a man I never thought I’d miss:

He is just trying to deflect from the fact that progressives, like himself, ruin everything.
There is nothing that has become funnier or more fun once progressivism gets involved.
Seriously, is anything left? They ruined Star Wars and now they’re going to do it with Lord of the Rings (although that is more structurally sound and can’t be destroyed in the same way Star Wars was). It’s like they have to ruin everything fun.

And you're being a reactionary over rumors for a video game that won't even be out for two years. It's cowardly and limp-dicked to just say "progressives ruin everything". There's no thought behind it. It's just incendiary.
Oh really, what the frick have you woke cunts made right? I think I’m batting a 1,000 when predicting all the woke reboots turning up like shite. “Give it a chance, you’re overreacting.” Ummmm, no. frick you.

Plus, being offensive, by itself isn't worth worshipping, comedy-wise. I've seen and performed with plenty of people who thought being "offensive" was enough to get laughs. It's not.
Yeah because you’ve got to be held accountable and go through a Maoist struggle session if you remotely step out of line. Eat shite, you woke cunt.

It's entertaining to me that people don't see the underlying racism in saying phrases like "punch down by making jokes about marginalized groups."
