Female Hispanic main character in an interracial relationship isn't enough for GAF to have a meltdown?

Depends how they design her. A big booty latina is not in my woke book. I dont think GTA6 will be woke, but i expect it to be much more political correct compared to previous entries where the jokes will be more safe so avoid triggering too many snowflakes.

I want to bring up a small sample/example case here because I keep seeing this take. The following link below is to a thread about Capcom finding success in Pragmata and that they are considering a sequel due to this. The topic has nothing to do with cultural issues, but about monetary success for a good video game.

Can you explain to me how post #41 in the thread linked below, is a rational post in that thread?

Opinion - Game Dev - Capcom teases that Pragmata might have a future as a franchise

Now take a post like that, and consider how many times posts like that one continues to happen, unprovoked, in threads on this site about various topics that are unrelated to cultural issues, like graphics, hardware, hardware requirements, prominent figures passing away or retiring, etc.

What do you think of that?

They can't win though.

- Trans jokes = triggers a certain crowd of snowflakes
- No trans jokes = triggers a different crowd of snowflakes

In the culture war, there are only warriors, not winners.
 
It's going to be safe-edgy. A little edgy because that's the brand, but the game needs to sell like a motherfucker to justify the literally billions of dollars it's cost to make. They'll be aiming for 'safe' controversy like violence and sexualised bikini babes, not any real controversy that would upset your average Redditor.
 
Honestly, I think the game will only be slop if the game mechanics are messy because the game was over-scoped, and the humor gets toned down so it's safer for the easily offended.

Anything "woke" will likely be background stuff like the Forza Horizon 6 character creator or Dead Space remake's pandering posters/background assets most people didn't even notice.

If you are not allowed to run down or shoot rainbow trangenderism, gay and lesbian pride parade in the game, then its woke 🤣 But seriously this game is a parody or satire, thats why I hope everything is no holds barred.

Weekend GAF isn't as fun as it used to be. At least get creative with your shitposts!
 
If they include tranny pride parades, then yes, woke.
If I can drive a car through the participants at the tranny pride parade, then no, not woke. (Or if I can bring a gun and end the parade that way, not woke)

By the way Gta always had gay folks and all sorts of manner of folks in there and it always made fun of both ends of the spectrum so I genuinly hope that continues

GTA4 literally had you working for a gay dude in the expansion Ballad of Gay Tony
 
It is going to be offensively non-offensive. It will be very detailed and well made. It will not be anything like the trailers. Women will be badass while the guys are going to be sad sacks of shit. As others have predicted, it is very likely that Jason gets killed or life in prison. I am sure it will be a fun game made for streamers and they will put 90% of the effort into the multiplayer. The world will be amazing to explore and will be the perfect sandbox for the multiplayer. The single player portion will probably be very short.
 
If San Andreas came todsy it would be called woke because it has a black protagonist and has a theme of police corruption. Also Kendl would be called a Mary Sue because in many ways she was the most competent member of the family.
 
Touch grass. I'd be exhausted worrying about if everything was woke lol. And In the trailers all you see is big ass everywhere lol.
Idc if they go after every minority or trans people or whatever, those jokes are often bottom of the barrel jokes that any kid can post in a YouTube comment section anyways. I'll be enjoying the game while anti-woke people will help these outrage content creators profit regardless if it's really "woke" or not.

^this totally agree

that's why this thread has been so entertaining, because it is clear they are doing both

you'll watch sexy women in strip clubs for entertainment

and then Karen comes around the corner on her mobility scooter, calling you a fashist while male

it's genius, because not only does it play both sides, but it's almost South Park level commentary on the current social climate, which is what radio stations did in all the previous GTA games

only by going in both extremes, can they appease both

^that's exactly it, I will LOVE this game and play it for thousands of hours, while also calling it woke at every opportunity on GAF, because I'm sure Strauss Zelnick wants to tickle me both ways
 
GTA games have always shown the world just how ridiculous the U.S. is. Now a new installment is on the way, one that will (hopefully) set new standards. And instead of discussing the absurdity that has historically raised the bar to new heights, are we really going to talk about whether the butts are round enough and the boobs are big enough?
 
Please do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. You can't accept victory. If they believe there is no appeasing us, they will stop trying. Take your wins as they cum and stop seeking out imagined losses.

Yotei, not woke.
Mixtape, not woke.
Marathon, super shit, not woke

I know you will show what you perceive as evidence. Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. It is very important. One, you are ruining the industry with insincere arguments, ruining our cause through arbitrariness and contrariness, and ruining your fun by missing out on great games. Look past your emotion. Enjoy things as they come. Stay based and recognize real woke when you see it like assassins Creed shadows. Stop tilting at windmills and join me.

There's just gotta be a place up ahead, where men ain't low down, and poker's played fair. If there weren't, what are all the songs about? I'll see y'all there. And we can sing together and shake our heads over all the meanness in the used to be.

The woke cultural revolution (and the pushback against it) has defined the absurdity of the era. It would be odd if it does not feature heavily in the social commentary / satire the series has been known for.
 
I think they should just go 'fair game' and incorporate both wokeness and anti wokeness at the same time.

Let me just add more: If you want to 'date' your game badly a few years down the road with 2020 era politics, go with a complete woke agenda. It would be best to stay objective and have characters in regions that fall on both sides of the debate, or sit somewhere in the middle of just not caring at all. GTA needs to have a steady flow of insanity from all angles and should not 'pick a side'. Florida brain rot needs to reign supreme.

Because its sickmind, evil, and twisted this woke and dei crap like for example transgenderism that force to our throats even in games. Attacking critics and gaslighting is the way for the leftist to normalize what is evil and sick.

The question whether it will be woke is unnecessary. It will be. Zero chance it won't have virtue-signaling aspects. If you believe it won't have woke elements to it, you've lost control over your life. The more important question is: will it provide me with a way to play without touching the aspects for a mentally disabled audience, or will it occasionally try to shove it down my throat?
 
The gaming press tricked you out of playing days gone because it starred a white dude at the wrong time in history and you let your own people talk you out of Yotei.

At some point you should think for yourselves. Play them. See for yourself.

You know those people that hate the game and told you it sucked, and was woke. They all got to play it. They had a great time. You didn't because you listen to them, but I know you, most of you are so much smarter than the average YouTuber. You have real jobs and real responsibilities. I know it sucks not having a perfect insight into which game you would really like, and I wish the industry would demo every game, but the woke shit is fucking everything up. It's being used when it's not true, and that is a big problem. It's probably the woke people themselves so who are starting the rumors, to make us look not good.

Think of a developer reading this thread, they think they can't win, we need to show them that they can win if they follow our will.

Makes sense, doesn't it?

We have to give them a path to victory by following our Will. You are giving them no path so they will default to woke.

Games are huge, so in any game you can point something that has woke.

That's the way they are tricking you.

Instead, make specific demands, such as a character, being hot, or not being changed. When things are obviously woke, that's a different story, but in a gigantic game, stuff can be woke, just like in the real world. In our real world stuff is woke, we hate it, but it's part of the real world, and it is in the game too. It always has been in every old game, and you can go back and cancel all games for it too.

I know the real reason. It's fun. That's why I'm wasting my breath. I like joining in too. But I see the damage it is doing.
 
I hate the word "woke". Too overused and has lost all meaning.

Saying that, I think there will be some cuts.

No more hookers and car sex. No more killing hookers and getting a refund.

They'll probably remove the ability to kill civilians and go on a murder spree, but shooting the police will be fine.

I think it'll be a very "modern" GTA experience.

It's hard to let go because it is a mocking term but I'm getting there. Some stuff crosses the line but the term has been ruined by overuse and witch-hunts.

This was all caused because drama is great YouTube content to monetize. The drama streamers on YouTube stir the pot, even when a game isn't woke. When mixtape wasn't woke, the argument shifted. Nobody took accountability for the original woke mistake.

Yeah, I do agree with that to some extent. It'll probably take the form of side content. But I'm guessing that'll affect the anti-woke hardcore movement just as much.

I don't really know what you expect me to say, yurinka yurinka is totally right, if this game was made in the west it wouldn't look like this - for sure. You can only make what you want if you are independent from big publishers (like E33) or placed in Asia or central/eastern Europe. E33 was praised by the journalists on game awards - but this was mostly done on "David vs. Goliath" terms not because they liked that the game didn't have modern day politics in it. Quite the opposite:



But I agree with you that yurinka comment was out of place in that sales thread.
