Dont think it'll be on-your-face woke, but expect it to be a lot more sanitized than past entries

 

[midnightAI]

Some of you are absolutely woke obsessed

Edit: I see this has been mentioned

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

 

[GymWolf]

Nah. Game is full of such little things, stuff you can't help but notice and add one on top of the other after thousand of hours.
But even that example provided, why on Earth should Hosea tell Arthur, while Lenny isn't even there, that Lenny is "He's the best of us all, we're luckly to have him", other than Rockstar trying to score some woke points?
Lenny is a regular ass member, nothing special to him at all other than the fact he's black.

In a real game, like the original RDR, Lenny would probably be made fun of from time to time, or be object of racist jokes within the gang, including main characters. Which would then make what happen to him hit so much more, for both players and game characters. But that would require balls.


Sure, Charles as well. Nothing really major, but still little things and there.

Things is, these "little things here and there" were not there in Red Dead Redemption. Every single line had artistic meaning, there was no influence.

Some can be bothered by these minor things, others not. But I will always be bothered by things that take me out of the game, forcing my mind to go from 1899 America to the liberals working at Rockstar.

Isnt mika racist with both lenny and charles?

not letting me do this



at the gay parade would be woke

anti-woke people only have meltdowns agaisnt games that they were never going to play anyway, so expect them to ignore those things in GTA since they want to play this one

I don't know if it's going to be woke slop but i do know it will be more melodramatic and pretentious. And they will focus more on feelings and drama instead of humor.

I know this because the protagonists are a couple. That's the worst possible choice for a protagonist duo in a game like GTA. There is no way they will be able to pull of the correct tone. I can feel the cringe already.

The slimy, blonde, blue-eyed character conceived to be the most despicable and hated character in Rockstar history.

With the artistic integrity of RDR 2010, it would instead be John, Arthur, or Hosea making playful camaraderie banter about Lenny. Creating much more compelling dynamics later on.

This is a tough question! I honestly believe they won't miss! But the game is gonna sell at least 20 million even if that was considered a flop. It's gonna sell a lot more than that. Most hyped game almost of all time.

Exactly.

Even if the game is great, including its writing, the "energy" is completely different. The cope is going to be strong with this one.

You can bet your sweet ass, that GTA6 will have D.E.I Integrated.

Devs, publishers and game journalists are obsessed. Every action creates a reaction.

Even when there hasn't even been an action! Am I right? Like this thread.

Come on, go outside and get some air.

She is hot.

I was talking: in general. Not about just GTA6, we don't know if it will be woke.

Even fucking car game has LGBT agenda pushed into it, this is how much developers care about this shit.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

This new GTA is woke, you can be sure of that.
Just decide whether or not you want to play the game based on these cultural details, which, I'm sorry to say, are already a reality in the 21st century.

 

[Radical_3d]

Is this thread anti-woke slop?

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

seriously what isn't a woke slop?

[GermanZepp]

In this case I'm going to play it to find out.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

Will there be a topic about: "This game is woke" for every major game that is released ?

I feel this pollutes the homepage, where we normally talk about games. I leave this suggestion for the team to analyze. Here we normally talk about games... whether with a certain weapon I can complete a certain mission, whether a certain game deserved an 8 or a 9, whether Sega made a mistake with the Dreamcast. I feel like we're spinning our wheels.

 

[balls of snow]

Voted and hoping for yes just to laugh at the thread while putting in 100+ hours into the game.

 

[Jormatar]

A playable female protagonist, obviously.
