Somehow I don't think this will cut down on the amount of kids that play GTA V or GTA VI.
Having said that, for many various reasons I still don't want GTA VI.
I barely touched the last one, I've seen what Rockstar has become. Their best years are behind them now.
GTA V was the first one in the series I started, completed about 20% and just didn't feel motivated enough to finish, and this is coming from someone who 100%'d the original GTA 1 and 2 (yes, the top-down games), and beat the story modes in all of the other major console releases. So I can only imagine how much more of a trudge GTA VI will be.
I am anticipating GTA6 to be a very bloated game, probably the most bloated game of all time.
My only hope is GTA6 it runs really well because that will finally prove UE5 is fucking trash.
With how long it’s been in development? I think it will have wild swings in run quality simply due to how big the game will be.
RDR2 is still a high water mark almost 7 years later. GTA5 on ps3 was, quite frankly, witchcraft. If anyone can deliver a quality AAA visual presentation in the age of upscaling and frame gen run amok, it’s probably rockstar.
RDR2 was the beginning of the end. Gorgeous game and decent game mechanics, but the stench of woke was all over the writing
Thank you for pointing out the settings. Holy shit that was convoluted.
GTA V's file sizes got soo big after launch that it became unplayable on sata ssd's
Yeah, I just kinda... stopped playing one day back in...
Holy shit, early last year. Never looked back. Haven't really missed it.
Online was just a constant grindfest of heists that got stale quickly due to restrictive mission design (oh, you stepped on THAT curb? Mission fail, restart) and cheaters.
Some cheaters were cool (several people gave me top-end cars via various dupe glitches), some attached things like steel safes to your character so you couldn't shoot or do anything else.
I never bothered to finish the story mission. I got right up to the last mission and stopped there.
In San Andreas, when you saw a dam, you knew a mission would take you to it. In GTA V, you see a large prison and you never have reason to visit. The world was made for online. Single player was tacked on.
The design decision to make the game multiplayer-focused ruined the potential that the game could have had.
Why would you NEED age verification on an 18 rated game unless, you're admitting the ESRG is useless and essentially self regulation DOESN'T work.
Congratulations, you invited the pencil pushers into your business to regulate you, like idiots. Not to mention people don't TRUST Rockstar especially with their data thanks to different security breaches.
Because gamers online talk about the jew problem.
That's what this is about.
They NEED identity verification so that when you say Wrongthink on voicechat that it automatically deducts from your GoodGoyScore
Exactly….thats why all of these jew owned social media outlets try to force you to do some facial recognition bullshit to appeal a permanent ban, same with YouTube trying to force people to upload their ID if YouTube’s AI system allegedly thinks you are underage. All of this shit is necessary to throwing everyone into a jewish-run global authoritarian system, where digital ID and the social credit score permanently enslave the masses.
And Palantir sits atop those systems funneling AI processed data directly to federal law enforcement that is in he'd with israel.
At this point I'm fairly certain that the ID verification thing is part of a growing scamtastic industry of its own. I recently heard that they formed an international organization or something about 6-7 years ago too.
"The sector is represented by the Age Verification Providers Association which was founded in 2018 and had grown to have 27 members by 2023."
C'mon now let's not be antisemitic.
They have names and faces.if they want to get ours we should get theirs too.
Its happening in way too many sectors at once for it to be organic.

Trying to establish the new norm on the internet by using popular entertainment. I wonder how they're going to promote ID verification in the propaganda-entertainment complex of Hollywoke. Probably going to use the various Law & Order, CSI and hospital shows to promote it.
Hollywoke is controlled by jews. They don't want to censor it at all. They want to spew degenerate filth into your tv portal.
Jews only want to shut down online multiplayer gaming because a whole generation of zoomers learned about the JQ this way. That's why they are targeting online multiplayer gaming and want to kick kids off it.
Using Hollywoke to promote ID verification on the internet.
By hollywoke you mean jews. Let's not use too much jargon. Speak frankly. jews control hollywood and the film production industry and broadcast and publishing companies. Of course they do. They own the bank and the bank prints fake money that is not backed by gold and not redeemable for gold in any consistent standard amount. Jews can print and launder infinite number of dollars to all their operations. And they own congress and write the bills your congressman votes for. Why else did Republicans put miliitary benefits for foreign IDF soldiers in their big beautiful bill (bbb 666)?
Vlad coming in hot lol
Bro has only one mode: impale.
A) That's no excuse to violate the privacy of older gamers. I shouldn't have to surrender all this extremely personal information about myself to some untrustworthy corporation just so your kid can't access a game. What your kid does is YOUR PROBLEM. Not mine. And B) banning young teenagers from video games like GTA is pointless and stupid. What purpose does that serve? Sheltering your children just makes them weak and retarded. What's with all these god damn fucking Millennial parents and their helicopter parenting shit.
So many younger parents today are raising a generation of people who are going to be extremely weak and retarded. And who are going to be unable to self regulate when they turn 18 and are finally exposed to all these things they've been missing out on like sex, violence, drugs and alcohol. They don't let them play games. They don't let them go outside alone. They don't let them watch movies with sex or violence. They don't let them do this or that or anything. They are just raising their children to be livestock who will be preyed upon by all kinds of people. And who will over indulge on everything they were cut off from the second they no longer have to follow their parent's rules. When parents cut their children off from something entirely, it turns into this forbidden fruit inside their head regardless of it being something bad or good etc.
I think older generations knew, it's not the end of the world when your 14 year old son is playing Mortal Kombat and has a Playboy magazine under his bed(an oldschool Playboy magazine with hot naked women in it, not a copy of a WOKE modern Playboy). And somehow managed to get his hands on a can of beer. It's just boys being boys. And knew if you let him be, he wont try to rebel against you all his life(and wont be seen as a loser by all his peers).
Don't have sex or watch porn billy, it will make you a pervert. Now go celebrate pride at the kid's drag show like a good kid!
Quell your interest in guns and weapons billy, it will turn you into a school shooter. also don't forget to punch Nazis at school!
Stay away from drugs Billina, you don't want to be an addict! Now take your ADHD meds and your estrogen, and don't forget you're inhaler!
Nut allergies unless it’s someone nutting in you!
Ah yes, from the depths of MGTOW you have to come in here and give your expert parenting advice. LOL
Ad hominem attack. Instead, argue why raising children in a puritanical prison like environment while treating them like 3 year olds until they are 18 or 16 will lead to positive outcomes and wont backfire in any way. And is necessary or beneficial for humanity or your family?
Because it leads to the technocratic boot on his face that gives him an erection.
This is all being done because ONLINE MULTIPLAYER GAMING is how generation zoomer became aware of the jewish question.
Hope that none of you guys think this is really being done for any other reason. They tell you it is to protect children but that's not really what they do.
Absolutely. This is why they want to control the internet in its entirety. It has nothing to do with protecting children.
Those kids should require an ID to buy the game, not play it.
I would say just make gift cards 18+ to buy and if they use credit cards just assume they're already 18+. At that point parents need to start stepping in.
Parents do step in by just avoiding this shit altogether for their kids.
Then fags like u/antisimp come out and cry about that too, and argue that the only way kids can not become degenerate is to expose them to degeneracy early so they can become strong. Or something.
I think the problem people have is parents getting the state or the gaming companies to do their work for them. The rainbow pedos are the only ones that object to parents actually parenting their kids.
Right-wing Globalists and Left-wing Globalists, united to enact total surveillance state on the Internet and end anonymity online.
And in today's news regarding a company banning their own customer base; Rockstar!
I look forward to their hot coffee game since this is only for adults.
Good thing rockstar is a shit company and GTA 6 is trash that no one with taste or personal integrity would ever play. Fuck triple a companies and gaming. Stay indie.
Kids who were born when gta v came out will be 18 when gta 6 comes out so no problemo
I mean... I think my Rockstar login/launcher ID is more than 16 years old haha. So.. No. I wont give ID. Just look at the acct age, and do basic math. Same reason I get pissed off when Google hits me with with an AgeID. Bitch, I've had a Gmail since 2004. Was I online before conception?
Cool. Now do the same for Roblox.
I'm guessing they're probably sensing what's coming and doing this just in case.
GTA3 came out in 2001. I was 16, so I can't comment there... However, I definitely did play the original overhead GTAs that had some pretty crude language and you could do some horrible things in them. I also played Duke Nukem 3D in the 90s and other such things. Granted, GTA Online is another beast. I doubt I'll buy this GTA until it's several years old and cheap anyway. I feel like the hype isn't as warranted as back in the 00s, but what do I know? I'm an old fart at this point.
Starcraft is rated 13+ Teens.
It features foul language, alchool and tobaco, and you can and must hurt and kill people ( including civilians ) with guns, blades, bombs, fire, nukes, electricity to progress in the game. Make them explode in a bloody pulp from catastrophic parasitic infestation or being impaled by hidden spikes.
You can have abomination aliens infest them to mutate their bodies in grotesque ways and destroy their mind. Turn them into mind-controled explosive drones. Mind-fuck them into submitting to you and turn against their own kind.
And it's up to the parents to decide if this is appropriate for their children, and set parental controls on the computer.
Age ratings are a fucking joke.
Who woulda thought that GTA is gonna play a large role in the digital ID taking hold.
With luck this backfires and their sales tank a lot especially the online shit you can buy. Very often it are probably kids with very low impulse control.
I worry we're going to see the exact opposite. Rockstar will implement this and then GTA6 will sell like gangbusters anyway because the filthy unwashed masses have zero judgement and then we end up with this shit suddenly normalized at a massive scale.
jews ruin everything. Online gaming. They ruined outside too
Everywhere i go there's pajeets, spics, migrants, niggz. there's trash everywhere. Everything is overpriced. Long lines. Roads and traffic everywhere. Developers bulldozing nature to build another housing complex with houses you can't afford. All brought to you by jews, kalergi plan, multicultural jew propaganda, jews pushing for higher tax revenues and consumption and GDP therefore open border mass migration and rat race consumption and waste.
This is not how Great White Civilizations were built.
Because if you haven’t noticed, White males are being pushed out of society, our workplaces, school, and our hobbies. And if too many White males go outside, they’ll ban that too.
Just look at Canada.
You seem lost friend. I don't think you belong here.
