No. I don't think I will.
I really hope they aren’t dumb enough to go through with this
Unfortunately, even with videos like the one above, there is an inordinate amount of normies who still rally behind Rockstar and GTA 6. If you go into normie channels, they don't care.
I think if Rockstar is successful in making a mechanically sound game (Like RDR2), they will win a bunch of normies over to the woke side the way Baldur's Gate 3 did. A lot of people will say, "Who cares if it's woke? It's fun!", basically living out the future of an autocracy through complacency, not too dissimilar to the movie Idiocracy.
Weird tangent but I did not enjoy RDR2. It just feels off, and it's not the feminist (well, not only). I don't think I would have checked out GTA6 on day one anyways but after playing RDR2 I don't think I would buy 6 at all.
They prioritized telling the story they want to tell above being a good game or allowing player freedom. Walking next to talking people is not gameplay, and having the player swing from being a god of death when it's not plot relevant to being unable to kill a few guys when the plot demands it is both bad storytelling and bad gameplay. If you can't tell your story without taking away control from the player, then make a movie.
Further, It's like someone told them "Unskippable cutscenes are bad", so instead of removing them, they said "Well, if we make the player hold 'W' to walk during the dialogue, it's not technically a cutscene, problem solved. It's still unskippable though."
I could watch a western movie while holding forward on an unplugged controller and have a similar experience.
