    It will be. The fans of gtaiv and gtav were children when those games came out. Their brains and personalities were in utero basically.

    Grown ass men in their 40s will play gtavi and see how silly and profoundly lame the GTAverse is.

    Genz and gen a will be nothing except offended by everything in the game. I have no doubt they’re (rockstar) going to pander to the trans community to save a little face.

    I’m certain the game will flop, especially because all their design time was proooobbbabbly, building the entire micro economy and microtransaction store that’s going to be the centerpiece of the franchise going forward.

    Pbbbbbbhhht. Stinker incoming.

      All trailers so far have shown nothing but swaggering toxic male bravado, and an “equal” (but let’s be honest, she’s second fiddle) female partner who is far from androgenous.

      I think GenZ will hate the lack of inclusivity, as I think Rockstar is targeting conservatives as their main audience

        Since it’s an exaggerated mirror of society, it will have all elements of society. People analyze these things too much.

          you’re probably right, but I have a feeling the social commentary side of Rockstar left when Dan Houser and Lazlo went, leaving what I suspect to just be the cruelty behind without the satire…

      The fans of gtaiv and gtav were children when those games came out. Their brains and personalities were in utero basically.

      Based on what exactly? Because these games where played by a diverse range of players - of course, this included children below 12, but there where also teenagers and adults. Its insulting how you’re making such an over generalisation - essentially calling everyone “children”.
