  • Yeah but its the most realistic game EVER don’t you care about the ARTISTS who worked sooooo hard to make this piece of art.

    Ignore that the entire concept is the most bland version of the Florida man joke; except its also at least 5 years past due.

    Ignore that the OMG ITS SO REALISTIC graphics A. are about on par with every other “AAA” “realistic” graphics and B. lack any and all style because its a corporate amalgam of “artists” (Sorry, not sorry, your skill is immediately devalued if you work for fucking rockstar).

    Ignore that GTAV ran a racket worth BILLIONS selling ingame money. Money people could have gotten for free if it was an actual game and not a microtransaction hellhole of a piece of shit designed by literal demons who only care to do the bare minimum of work in order to steal from people who cannot/will not self regulate their finances and spend hundreds of dollars for something people used to/still do get for free. (Yes I am mad at every “live service” game that charges $40 for 1/10th of the content. Content we used to get in these things called “expansion packs”. That cost $40 one time. And had some idea of a vision and theme. Atleast my runescape sub as a kid went partly to keeping servers on. I’d be willing to be a shark card or two that 99% of GTAV was P2P with how hackable that game is.)

    Ignore all the games that do something interesting, or that try to say something, anything. Ignore My Summer Car, a period piece of 90s Finland, realistic in how much rural life can fucking suck and fucking rule at the same time. Ignore Desktop Explorers, a game about so much I can’t talk about without spoiling it. A game that explores humans, relationships, how much computers enable us to be great and are also that computers will ruin us. Ignore Cairn, a game about trauma, colonialism, loss, and personal struggles. Ignore Big Walk, a game where I was trying to ID plant life it was so “realistic”. Ignore how it forces you to think about you, and your friend(s), and how you communicate. Ignore the deep love and care those devs feel for you, the world, how you and them think and feel about each other.

    Ignore everything interesting in video games to buy THE NEXT BIG THING. The thing that HAS to be big because if not we’ve decided gaming has failed. You will mindlessly shoot cops without achieving anything. You will drive in a digital Miami, one we renamed so teehee we can be edgy. No we will not be critical of the actual issues Miami and Florida have. Look a silly gator!!

    You will pay $100 for the base experience. You will pay that again when it comes to PC. You will also pay that again if you want to play online and not have to grind 3000 car deliveries.

    Gaming to me has been such… Its borderline therapy for me. I play a LOT of slop. Shit worse the GTA6 can/will be. But after crying over Big Walk, Desktop Explorer, and Cairn all within like 2 weeks of each other, I think the GTA6 stuff is gonna jokerfy me. jokerfication
