Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[3-2-1836]

Pay 100$ for your goyslop that you wont even own piggy! Oink oink oink!

Rip this nigga, he died doing what he loved best, shiposting about GTA 6 and got smited by god in a earthquake before GTA 6.

 

[Reallygood14u]

Also if anyone has seen the state for the story lines in GTAO as of late that's a good indicator of how GTAVI will be for writing and it is not good.

 

[Avroboros]

If $80 is to much for you then im guessing you cant afford the hardware to play the game, Null should lock the thread and only allow people that send verification that they can even play the game (if they have a ps5 or a xbox series console) to reply.

Is this what mankind has fallen into? Did this fuck ass species sink this low into cuckery and retardation, to the point we now have niggas like this whiteknighting prices? LMAO.

 

[Estate]

you are all reaching resetera levels of ass blasted

Hahaha, this stupid fucking spic is bleeding from the ass all over the thread, coping about the fact that he dropped 100 buckos on a game that will be filled with gorilla niggers, faggots and troons.

Hahaha, this stupid fucking beaner is getting his shit pushed in, because his modus operandi is to bleat about DEI and woke, yet, at this very moment, he's toncil deep slobbering over the woke and DEI dick that Rockstar filled his mouth with.

Hahaha, KYS NOW, Paco!

You realize you can shoot whoever you want right? It’s GTA.

 

[Reallygood14u]

Sure after you do your gay pride parade mission where you can't disrupt it or you fail the mission.

 

[Red Saltire]

Oh I’ll be failing that mission lol

 

[Estate]

Go away faggot

Wipe your mouth, boy, you have nigger and faggot traces on it.
You sure love your nigger and faggot games eh?
Yum yum, amirite?
Hahaha, you're such a faggot, Paco.

You realize you can shoot whoever you want right? It’s GTA.

You lack context.
The spic I replied to has a habit of making cretinous posts all over the gaming threads, usually about woke or DEI and ignoring things like what you're pointing out.
I'm just here to drag my nuts all over his spic face and laugh at his performative faggotry.
He is literally the stereotype of the preacher that speaks against faggotry, but is caught fucking troons and men and gargling their balls.

 

[El Chacal De La Trompeta]

You sound poor

 

[The handsome tard]

Bought the Ultimate edition like a cuck. I don’t think other companies are going to try to increase their prices. They all know they aren’t on the level of GTA and Rockstar.

You underestimate the sheer delusional hubris of said "other companies"

 

[The Last Stand]

That's a fair point to think about. Let's assume the density of civilian NPCs are majority African-American or Hispanic. Theoretically speaking, there's practically no failsafe to stop players from committing (virtual) vehicular manslaughter to their heart's content. I know there's wanted levels as a consequence, but I don't think those kind people would care enough to have that be a deterrent.

Sonic 3 released in the year of our lord 1994 for the princley sum of.... $69.99.
Edit: Sonic 3 is FAMOUSLY half of a game, too. Guess what Sega did? They sold you the first "DLC" for a console game EVER, with the "lock on" cart... for another cool $69.99.
Meaning that the entirety of Sonic 3 cost $140 fucking dollars, IN 1994.

I mean, fair, but you could buy used and Sonic's fanbase has always been... Well y'know... A few fanbases just took whatever bad business practices the company would throw at them. Sims fanbase was another one. You also weren't dropping a month's rent on a new console. And piracy was fairly easy to access, even then. Most video stores would chip your console and sell you pirated games for a fraction of the price. Shit, you could even buy pirated games and movies on the street where I'm from.

Even if you were risk averse, milquetoast and described as "Sensible" by all your peers, you could just rent it. Shit, a lot of the time, up to PS3 times, when supposedly you needed fresh codes to play online because they were trying to crack down on the used games market, you could buy used, and it would still fully work online.

You niggers all forgot that gaming has always been expensive.

I see this take very often and I think it's kinda surface level. We're talking about a hobby where you could straight up play an entire fucking game, for free, at a mall's expo PS2. I played both Headhunters, Halo, Airblade and a Hitman that way without paying a cent. Arcades also meant that you could play an entire fucking game for literal peanuts. Granted you would need to practice a lot to get to that point, but I've seen 2 hour sessions of Crazy Taxi. A lot of people could 1 CC light gun games, too.

It really depended on the environment, sure, but gaming, when done well by the people in charge, can be incredibly cost efficient. It's a less physically active sport, pretty much. Chess, cards or board games are even cheaper, arguably, but you couldn't get much more of a bargain than potentially cents for hours of entertainment if you were an arcade rat. I still play a few PS1 and PS2 games regularly, that I bought used in the 90's and 00's, for less than the cost of a pizza and a movie.

Essentially, games are like books meet chess. You can get endless entertainment out of the ones you really love, literally endless. Sure, the story will never change, but if you like the gameplay, you can just play the same thing as much as you like.

Fuck, if that was a bad strategy they wouldn't be reselling us the same games with graphics upgrades and updated mechanics over and over and over, now would they?

TL;DR: All in all gaming is SOMEWHAT more expensive than just watching whatever's on TV, but if you looked for deals or hustled a little bit it was quite literally one of the greatest value and bang for your buck hobbies you could engage in by FAR. Companies trying to pull some clever shit is a fairly recent development.

If you factor in piracy, potato PCs and emulation, you can very comfortably game for the respectable price of fucking nothing, sticking to only very good games for the rest of your life and never be done with even a single console's full catalogue. I will agree that it requires some tech know-how, but again, it's only filtering the DSPs of the world. Which you could argue are a big chunk of modern day gamers, and I wouldn't even be able to disagree

Gaming can very much be a poverty compatible hobby. There really aren't many others that beat it, unless it's some hardcore poverty shit, like reading only what you bum/steal by candlelight because your lights are out, or reading at the public library. Come to think of it, they sometimes have vidya at the library nowadays, so again, you can play stuff all the way through for free.

EDIT: There’s a dude on this very site who has dilligently collected Timmy Tencent’s free games for like a decade and he’s got 700 motherfucking F R E E games just sitting on his library that he’s presumably never even gonna get to play and they’re not even all slop.

I just started GTA SA.

My first impressions? Holy crap is this game a huge step forward compared to III and VC.

It's probably going to be the pinnacle of GTA series in terms of story mode, overall gameplay, and side missions forever. As well as map design. It's the last GTA game to feel like the gameplay was the foremost important aspect of design. Before the newer GTA games became about spectacle, on rails missions, and online multiplayer.

What version are you playing? Because as far as I remember only the original PS2 release has the original music. Every other release is missing music or other content including the PS2 Greatest Hits version.

Rockstar quietly removed/censored some troon stuff in GTA5.

I'm playing the PC version found on the Internet Archive.

Seriously, going immediately from III and VC to this is honestly stunning in terms of how much better and polished everything about it is. Not to mention all the things you can now interact with and the like. The roots of my favorite Rockstar game so far (RDR2) I can see clearly in SA.

As hobbies go, gaming is pretty darn cheap. I might be a bit insulated because I need to have a good GPU for work, but when I added up my entire steam library which has been active since 2004, I think the total was around $2500. That's a hobby I've put more hours into than I care to admit for over 20 years. I can think of like 5 other hobbies off the top of my head that cost me way more, and that I spent way less time enjoying.

 

[Average Russian Spy]

So has there been any word on when this God-damned GTA6 is supposed to come out? My hype for the game has completely died out long ago, but I'm sure others are still waiting patiently. But Jesus, at this rate, no one is going to remember there was even a game being made. Every person I know who showed initial interest in the game just doesn't care anymore. This isn't to say the game will flop, there's enough braindead goycattle that will slurp this game up like hogs at a trough and beg for more.

November 19, 2026. Take Two confirmed that marketing would start around the summer. This is the start of the marketing. No way it’d get delayed again (at least for long) since preorders are live now.
