‘GTA goes woke’
“Crime is a fundamental part of GTA - at least up until now, it has been,” Nelson told The Guardian
I’m sure the well-adjusted fanbase will receive this statement with enthusiasm and optimism.
I don’t really consider myself part of the fanbase, don’t think I’ll even have the bandwidth to play a game of this size anymore - but I can empathize.
Because I was already disappointed with GTA 3. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a really good game, but it’s simply not the top down chaos machine that GTA meant until then.
It was kinda the time where everybody thought 3D must be better than 2D. OK, only option is to accept that they’re not making the type of game GTA meant until then anymore; now it just means that in the story, you’re a criminal.
And now that’s also gone? Well, what is there left of an identity then - it’s a videogame, I guess?
Man thinking about it, I should see if I can get 1, 2 or GTA London somewhere, give that another go and relive some memories lol
That is the most lemmy G*mer ahh comment imaginable.
I am honestly impressed.
I guess they pretty much mean that they’ll have a system like the Honour System in RDR2. You were still a criminal in that game and killing wasn’t something that was scarce or rarely done but in some scenarios it was discouraged and just running around and blatantly killing civilians meant losing honour. Bounty hunters coming after you or atleast in one instance killing a “civilian” who had lost everything either had no impact on honour or even gave you honour with the latter one because it turned out the was a slave catcher.
“Grand Theft Auto now provides ways to legally acquire a vehicle instead of just stealing them.”
GTA V already let you buy cars instead of stealing them.
Stealing someones horse in RDR2 caused you to lose honour, buying a horse didn’t.
