Ton of black people in trailer. The trailer really highlights how out of control Game development times are.
Its a game about committing crimes, where the most famous activity is to literally chimp out and commit random acts of violence for no reason but shits and giggles until you get shot.
I can think of no game better suited to being full of blacks.
They already did that with San Andreas as well as a third of GTA5.
That is Miami though. Like as from someone from down south none of the diversity it is really woke, it's really that diverse down there.
"What's the capital of Puerto Rico?"
"Orlando."
I've heard Miami being called the capital of the entirety of South America. It's a wild city.
Thanks, I needed that laugh. The worst is Puerto Ricans speak such a weird slangy Spanish that I can't understand them.
On the other hand, there are tons of Argentines here.
It's not my joke. I first heard it years ago, not knowing how true it was.
Guatemalans are worse. At least Ticans have cute women.
No it has to be Austin. A few years ago I saw a large Mexican flag (at least eight feet high) flying at an intersection near the interstate across from a gas station with a big Mexican open air produce market in the parking lot.
The flag is no longer there but it still looks like I'm driving through another country every time I'm in that part of town. And I wouldn't want to be there at night.
Yes, but that's Mexico, not Puerto Rico.
The question then becomes: do you actually want to spend any time in that game world? Just because it’s realistic doesn’t mean it’s appealing.
I was just pointing out how it's realistic because that's how Grand Theft Auto has always been. It's always been a mirror to specific decades of American culture magnified.
Grand Theft Auto V is a perfect time capsule of American/California culture circe early '10s just as IV was a perfect encapsulation of '00s culture.
Is it appealing to me personally? Not really but I do gotta hand it to them for capturing '20s culture.
What will be woke is when female player character ends up becoming the supreme gang leader or something.
Well that's a slight relief. I watched that trailer twice to be sure and was asking myself if the percentage of black NPCs was realism or a stupidly extreme diversity quota.
Doesn't mean the game isn't going to be screwed by blue haired liberal women anyway, but at least this first indicator doesn't guarantee it.
Normally I'd agree but I was in Miami less than 2 weeks ago and it was exactly what this trailer showed lol. Didn't even have to see the Everglades to know it was Florida right away.
Very few white people outside of UoM campus
