Is the higher up who insists that GTA's gunplay controls are just fine despite even the rest of the development team thinking they're shit working on GTA6? I hope Dan Houser took him with him.

If it means more single player content then I am all for it but I am a little weary of the live service model
Tho they def going put their best foot forward as they going want this game to last for a very long time, probably eclipsing 5

Really my stance on the live service thing is I'd probably do the initial playthrough of it, not touch it for a year, then check out the new stuff whenever I played it again while all that time ignoring Online like the plague.

*women and people of colour exist* Incels: WOKE!!!! Yep, it didn't take long. YouTube is full of this kind of shit already, usually with a thumbnail featuring some white guy with his face in his palm.

*women and people of colour exist* Incels: WOKE!!!! Really? People are getting mad at a series that has had you play as a female avatar for it's online service, 2 black guys, a few Italians, an Eastern European, English man and a Dominican. Heck the only people we haven't played as is an Asian criminal. Not only that it makes fun of everyone and everything.

I can think of other things GTA hasn't really done but they have done that, Chinatown Wars.

*women and people of colour exist* Incels: WOKE!!!! I knew that a topic about this would come up among the internet about people whining about being able to play as a female protagonist. Saints Row can allow you to create a female character. GTA Online does that as well. Hell, if you want to talk about open-world games in general, you could play as a woman in those Mercenaries games. If you want to go back farther, I remember an outrage surrounding GTA San Andreas when it was revealed that you will play as a black man and that the theme (at least most of the promotion sold it as, even though it was only for 1/4 of the game) was based on streets gangs. You should have seen the GameFAQs boards back then. "GTA is about the mafia!" "Why are we playing as a black man? Why the gangsta theme?" If only I could find archived threads from nearly two decades ago about it.

Things had eased a lot since then.

I can think of other things GTA hasn't really done but they have done that, Chinatown Wars. I was just about to mention Huang Lee. Technically GTA1 allowed you to play as a female character as 4 of the 8 character designs were female. They did say that they will abandon some of the more objectionable content though. Which is more surprising given that aside from South Park, GTA could be seen as the last bastion of anything goes, equal opportunity offender humor.

On the topic of Saints Row, when the reboot was announced there were also dumbasses crying about it being "woke" when the original series has plenty of main characters who are women and people of colour. The Boss can be literally anything you wanted.

The new SR cast seems more hipstery than the puckish rogues of the previous games. But whatever, if I can be a purple-clad murder hobo that's all I can ask for.

God***n, the amount of cognitive dissonance and wrongheadedness in such a short statement is scary. I can see why it stuck with you.

Politics or no politics I don’t think it will be that good without Dan Houser. Even Lazlow is gone.
