I don't know how that level of tedium would be accomplished short of needing to refill gas manually and fix your own tire pressure.

Sorry, I already reserved that spot in the line months ago.

I have never tried to sincerely play the actual storyline, but I have had hours of fun running around in Vice City with weapons cheats enabled, flame thrower in hand, seeing how many stars I could rack up and cops I could kill before they finally took me out. That's probably exactly the behavior your parents were worried about, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

I highly enjoyed the mission in GTA V where you kill Marc Zuckerberg and I also found it amusing how most of the story boils down to petty infighting between the FBI and CIA. I really like it when the letter agencies are shown as the pathetic weasels they are.

This is Jason Schreier, though. He doesn't say shit without real proof.

A kid leaked internal Rockstar stuff about a year ago and they brought the law after him.

Stay woke y'all

and the villain is a blue-haired SJW.

The villains are fascists and antifa as dual-antagonist factions, like Aqua and Magma in Pokemon Emerald. The moral is that both extremes are wrong and the neoliberal status quo is good enough so long as we're all kind.

Yeah they definitely got quality writers and are letting them work their magic without the usual gamer Corp restrictions. I usually struggle to get any immersion in any entertainment media I consuuuuuuume, but I noticed as each chapter passed I actually started to feel like I was with Arthur every step of the way. From watching the rain piss down from under the tent, to sluffing through knee deep snow on the mountains trying not to slip and eat shit just to get to the top and drink in the view of the valley below.

I'd venture to say that because Rockstar has a literal cash cow they can milk for liquid gold in the form of GTA online they can actually afford to justify the alternative operating plan in their games manufacturing department.

It's hilarious how the only way to get new cars in a game literally titled "stealing cars" is to buy them for absurd amounts of money.

the inflation thing is real stupid. like a tshirt costing $20k or an old 1970s van costing a million. they definitely fucked up the economy and seem to scramble to make monkey sinks for online. i'll log into the single player to dick around a little and its jarring to "only" have a few hundred K, but then i realize everything is far more normally priced so i'm actually loaded. but nothing in the online game requires the spending of real money. everything can be had with fake game money which can be earned doing cheesy AFK b.s. if you don't want to invest real time and effort. shark cards are a scam for whales only.

my chief complaint about the online game is the inclusion of all the extremely stupid futuristic/sci fi BS like the flying rocket that shoots missles and all that sort of b.s. it's all way too over the top. my second biggest complaint is how prevalent the god mode modding is. but really, the second problem just means its not worth it to buy big expensive weapons, because so many random idiots pretending to play are actually invincible.
