sometimes a youtuber or post will reference gta vi like its an upcoming extinction level event, like it’s destined to win every award and be the greatest game ever made and nothing afterwards will eve be the same and its like. we all live in different worlds

i think it’ll probably have ok driving and bad shooting and every mission will go on too long. just a hunch

i’m not even really a hater. i was when v came out. so invested in how serious game critics needed to be honest and interrogate its status in culture. ah to be young lmao. now i’m like oh yeah right that’s this year

As a dev who's worked in AAA, the impact it has on the entire gaming market and console sales and how saturated of a point that is and how every lead/director/etc references that makes it impossible for me to not take seriously even though on no level do I or will I ever care about Grand Theft Auto.

I'm sure it'll make one bajillion dollars but it will also have the exact same South Park tier writing and while still really fucking annoying and awful that almost feels quaint in the cultural landscape

Most of the rockstar games missions are “drive to x location while talking to someone” and then shoot some guys, and drive somewhere else. Really broke the illusion for me when I played red dead and GTAV back to back (10+ years ago??)

I still always think of the gag in Saints Row 2 where one of your guys goes over a really meticulous plan for how you're going to rob a casino and then Johnny Gat knocks over all the little models and says "how about instead we just run inside and shoot every motherfucker between us and the vault"
