Who cares. Ill be doing so much crime, them pulling me over will be warranted.

They will have to catch me first.

They could have just left out the word “evil” there.

Anyway, never mind that - when are they doing a modern take on GTA London?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

A GTA game without guns or cuss words would be pretty bland

GTA London? What? Please explain.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They are referring to the standalone expansion set in London in the 1960s for GTA 1 (the top down one), if I'm not mistaken

This just in, GTA 6 will feature COPS.

In the South Park game the "difficulty" setting is a slider that changes your skin tone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's a fake slider. Cartman just say it will affect every aspect of your life, just not the game one. Still funny af.

And Jew is a character class that starts rich, but everyone hates you.

But the "corrupt/evil cop" archetype is a staple in the GTA franchise. Remember Tenpenny? Is this just rage bait for right-wingers again?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just like GTA IV and V have right? ( neither game has that programed dispite that people insist it's in those games)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

evil cops is redundant.

They could have just said COPS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Realistic cops.

The recognition that there are entrenched systematic inequalities based on bigotry in American society, and the belief that action should be taken to break them down.

To be "woke" is to be aware that things are not all butterflies and puppy dogs, and to acknowledge that fact.

In other words, to be anti-woke is to willingly chose to remain ignorant about all the awful things that are happing in the world, such as racial inequality, for example.

It's a good thing to stay woke.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The real answer is just that it’s a blanket term used by conservatives to refer to liberal ideas. For example, saying that gay marriage should be legal makes you “woke”

Didn't they have those in gta3?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is nothing new for the series

Racism is an Easter egg in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Grand Theft Auto V.

Sounds like this will be the first for racial profiling by police, well if the denial of it happening in V is true.

racism is an easter egg. wow never thought I'd see those words together.

GTA going woke?

It boggles my mind that so many people don't realise the entire GTA franchise is a satire of American culture, by the Scottish development studio. It's always been liberal.

realistic american cops is woke now? get outta here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hmm, it fits to the literal meaning, at least. If you are awake, you see the reality.
