GTA 6 was officially revealed last month and with it came a steaming load of hot takes to make fun of. It would be weird if a new Grand Theft Auto didn't spark some controversy, wouldn't it?
You need to calm down, Act-Ma'am. You went to a pride parade and your iconic Starmid flopped in ratings. Not even AZ wants any possible apology. Just take the L and call yourself openly a leftoid
the question is which side will it be more fun to piss off. while i hate the prowoke crowd and find them annoying, i hate the antiwoke crowd just as much if not more so and also find them just as annoying if not more so. it's gonna be fun when it gets released since both sides get pissy so easily over nothing at all
@@thegameplayer125 Do you know what's even more annoying? People that use the word "Woke" incorrectly. Maybe google the definition and look at what you typed.
@@thegameplayer125 its prolly gonna be a 1984 situation where uberwoke side condemns it for being anti-something, and the antiwoke side condemns it for being pro the same thing. (referring to the book 1984 that was banned in america for being communist propaganda, and being banned in the soviet union for being anti communist propaganda)
@@thegameplayer125 I'd hope for the prowoke side to be more prone and fun to piss off. But then again, it's GTA, so it'll "likely" (read definitely) make fun of both sides, so we might be surprised.
Its always funny that some guys will complain when a fictional woman beats a dude, yet they have no problem with a male protagonist winning a fist fight against 10 armed dudes simultaneously.
I think Temple makes great content for conservatives fighting against the corruption in America. But I love female protagonist such as Ada Wong and Lara Croft those are very bad ass. So I didn’t agree w his take on that.
@no1hereisahuman No, no, no, John and his family are living happily on the Ranch. Story mission? What story mission? The game is 100% done, I'm not sure why that marker is there.
It makes me so happy to see Act Man include RD2 more into his content. Just hearing the songs in his videos also shows how much of impact that game has.
Rdr2 is technically great but the dog shit writing and modernized dialog make it completely unbearable. Its completely inauthentic to the setting. It sure looks good though...
You know, there original extra credits video about nazis was a meme for a reason, but nowadays its a meme for a different reason. So, thanks extra credits i guess...
The political/social commentary in RDR2 is so subtle yet so powerful and interesting. Besides the Wapiti reserve quests, I remember riding to a mission with Lenny and he just casually talks about the racism he experiences and it hits you. These guys have not played a single Rockstar game, they are so well written, I honestly wish it was RDR3 and not GTA VI coming out, the latter franchise just tends to have an overly goofy feeling, whereas RDR games feel more balanced and grounded, but with all the fun still there.
The thing is, what room is there for a third, or technically fourth game? Another prequel? And it’s fundamentally a western series, you can’t have it set in the 1920s. Also, I love the game and it’s not subtle about its social commentary. It’s extremely left wing.
@@Timmy-mi2ef He most certianly doesn't mean Modern Left-Wing. The game is just has a "Treat people like human beings because they are just that, humans, like you" approach. Arthur doesn't look down on anyone save people he has a bone to pick with.
The whole entire moral of the GTA story is that the pursuit for crime and short term pleasures like drug abuse, casual sex or material possessions like expensive cars or sex trafficking rings are NOT the secret to living a long happy life. There are brutal, life destroying consequences in the real world and the only way that COULD be plausible is in a fictionalized world of faked entertainment like a video game.
Exactly. Rockstar shows with their games that "yes, in our game you can be a criminal and do what you want. But be ready for some hard and dark reality, when you will do it in real life" I even read some posts from people who were criminals in the past and they loved GTA, because it shows why you should not become a gang member or a hard killer etc. This game also changed some ex-criminals lifes. So much for "GTA is killing people and kids"
GTA has always showed crime to be a terrible idea, but also recognizes that it's a video game at the end of the day - so it has to let us do said crime. It has always been a parody effectively as well, at least as recently as GTA 3 (when they first transitioned to 3D). It parodies modern police - showing them having an infinite number of cops that will show up, escalating all the way to using tanks and such on you, over a few minutes long car chase if you end up being deadly enough. It parodies criminal gangs and popular culture around that sort of thing very heavily. The radio stations and such in-game have always included some hilarious bits to them as a parody of media, etc.
The absolute irony is that their entire podcast would fit in PERFECTLY as a radio station on gta 6 - or at least a parody of that sort of podcast. They had some great talk shows on the radio in 5 so I hope they really go in deep
The PLR radio station in 4 also had a bunch of stuff like this. I think it was mostly about healthcare industry arguments, racism, something about immigrants, and video games, so just typical radical Republicans.
Can you believe it, you play as a Serbian in GTA IV. Rockstar has gone woke with the diversity! And this other guy who wants to go bowling all the time, is also a Serbian! How did it come to this, America? Nobody wants to play as that. Go woke go broke! GTA will never sell well!
@NeonRaven28 We live in an age of poverty, greed, violence, destruction. Indeed, the very seat of the federal government, Washington D.C., has been reduced to what is now known as the "Capital Wasteland." The Capital Wasteland... How did it come to this, America? How did your leaders allow the most powerful nation on Earth… to die? The answer is really quite simple: Incompetence. Incompetence at the highest echelons of power. We put our trust, our faith, in halfwits. Our intrepid leaders had everything they wanted! Power. Wealth. Prestige. And it made them lazy, America. Oh yes, and laziness breeds stupidity
GTA with the radio talk shows with racists, xenophobes, vegans, Republicans, religious zealots and unhinged psychopaths is the ultimate tongue in the cheek of America. The fact it's so exaggerated but at the same time relatable on some level makes it entertaining as hell. The writers know exactly how to write comedy.
lol we will have to see, i know some of the bigger writers of the previous installments have left which is what has me worried... lots of hack writers these days making me better my health by exercising instead of playing video games and watching TV.
I never even listen to music in GTA, it's always the talk radio stations, they are always so delightfully unhinged, and poke at both sides of the aisle.
I have a good story about this. Couple of years ago I was selling games I finished on FB Marketplace. One of those games was Mafia 3, some guy texted me he would buy it and that he would come pick it up. He texted me I'm in front so I went outside and it was cop on duty in full cop uniform buying Mafia 3 from me. I still laugh about this.
“Yeah… but it’s just forced diversity.” The game takes place in a parody Miami, which is 90 miles away from Cuba and further south than Northern Mexico. 😂
Whoa whoa whoa could you imagine seeing a Hispanic girl or even god forbid…..a black girl in a game? They don’t exist from what I can see from my $50 million home in LA. I thought minorities were a just a rumor.
Dude got himself barred from practicing law in his state from his obsession over banning violent video games. These goobers throw a hissy fit on Twitter that women and blacks exist
I can't believe you shaved just for your sponsor segment, and then waited to regrow your beard to the same length to continue the video during the editing process. That's some dedication.
“A woman hitting a man would do nothing” -The frailest man I’ve seen this week. Like he overestimates the average man, who hasn’t been hit and isn’t in shape. Also Lucia looks tough as hell and just got out of prison. Getting hit will fucking hurt, especially if the other person knows how to throw a punch. That’s honestly the biggest thing, technique. But also it’s GTA where you have mountains of guns to play with… so why do you care about how well somebody can punch people???
"A woman hitting a man isn't realistic" isn't realistic? That's literally the expectation! Like if a man does something bad, really annoys a woman or cheats or something, not only is it expected that the woman would slap him, but it'd even be congratulated (or maybe that's just me, I often say "good on ya" when I see it).
21:15 “We don’t yet know if there will also be a male protagonist.” Yes we fucking do. We do since the first leak about the story being “Bonnie & Clyde” inspired released.
The ironic thing about Tristan Tate saying he doesn't see how people under 21 can play games where you kill people, is that he likes to drive fast cars and shoot guns and show that off to his 13 year old followers...I hate this timeline..
The real irony is that he, himself, has admitted to being addicted to Call of Duty until his brother pointed out that it was a waste of time - a statement that apparently gave him and epiphany and made him stop playing video games. And now he acts like he's above hobbies like that 😂
I believe you're making a bit of a false equivalence.. because I don't think driving fast cars or shooting at a gun range at non-living targets is the same as what you are insinuating. I don't agree with the take he has, but don't equate what he does with something entirely different to what you do in a game about being a criminal. lol
@@Zer0ThePlagueDoche's trying to insensitive in a kid audience that you shouldn't relax or spend any time the way you want, but instead make money and only work on a company. It's not a great idea to tell that to kids who should be enjoying their childhood
Well...they did make videos teaching teens and children about manipulating young women with the lover boy technique....I wouldn't call that better influence than playing a game about criminals that's solely based in fiction. .@@Zer0ThePlagueDoc
@@AnthonyMartinez-jg8loI think you misunderstood his comment. He’s criticizing Andrew Tate and simply seems aware of his activity. He doesn’t indicate anywhere he watches it.
There is literally a video game genre called "Female Protagonist". I love how suddenly it's woke to have a female lead in a video game. We went from "videos are sexist because you play as a male lead," to "video games are woke because you play as a female lead." And the pendulum forever swings back and forth.
Woke has now completely lost its meaning. Why tf do people just now care about women as protagonists. Nobody complained about it in Control or RE 2, or even fucking AC oddysey. Why has it become such a problem is beyond me.
Yeah or Lara Croft one of the OGs like it just doesn't make any sense why that would matter yet in the same breath they would probably argue why the older female protagonists were good and any new ones are terrible 😂
Both are bad. The only reason movies were allowed to be violent is because leftists such as yourselves argued for it. The people on your side created this descrepency a long time ago when they got rid of hayes code. Violence in gta 6 is also pointless violence, in movies it is usually teaching a lesson
My favourite thing about the conversations about GTA 6 is that I've seen so many posts of people getting mad over a leak saying that there would be pronoun options. it's funny because 1. The "leak" isn't real 2. Our GTA online characters are already referred to as "they" and "them" so it literally doesn't change anything
I love pronoun controversies because despite the fact that Forza Horizon 5 did it first, no one batted an eye until Starfield, and now they’re batting an eye in advance. It’s the most hilariously unpunctual controversy in recent years
I would hope that if Rockstar did put something like that in the game it would be to make fun of it. It would be on-brand for them to do so. We'll see what happens when it comes out
I don't think the reaction would be that extreme for kids.Unless the parent is genuinely very abusive and this wasn't just a one time abusive@@Greenish_BT
@@sharequsman596 If he jumps to destroying stuff that fast, there's a good chance that it's not a one-time thing. Take it from someone who used to have someone like that in their life.
I love how the Tate brothers unironically reference Super Mario Bros. Who do the Mario Brothers rescue the princess from? An evil turtle who kidnaps said princess, keeps her locked in the basement of the castle, and sends his impressionable minions to stop the brothers.
Bro those two are just idiots who will say anything to get attention. Ignoring them is the best we should do. Nothing that ever comes out of Tate's mouth is correct.
@@AS256if everything you say for a number of years (or even decades) is satire, you forget what is real and what's fake. Tates talked about so many absolutely ridiculous things over the years with 100% conviction, he actually believes it all.
No, actually, he hasn't been arrested for any actual crimes, if that were the case he'd get a trial, they just kept him locked up on trumped up charges for several months when he threatened to get too big, and then they released him again when his popularity died down; without a single hint of a trial. That means they had no evidence whatsoever, not a single crime took place.
That was a bogus arrest which is why he's out now. If you get arrested for trafficking you are never getting out brother. Y'all just bought into the government. They knew he was getting too big
Bro, these guys are complaining about "shooting police officers" but imagine when they see the Modern Warfare 2 story or better yet play God of War 3....... Like imagine....
One thing that so many of these people do not seem to understand is that one of the key reasons why we engage with stories is that we want see other points of view and what other people's lives are like that are different from our own. Like I have never been to war, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't find it interesting to read, watch, or play a story about a person who fights in a war as long as it is good.
It is genuinely concerning how many people think that a piece of media trying to get you to put yourself in someone else's shoes is the same thing as wOkE iNdRoCtInAtIoN
Exactly, Niko Bellic was literally a war criminal probably childsoldier from bumf*ck knows where illegally immigrating into america. This game had one of the harshest critics i have ever seen towards the "american dream" and the false idealisation of it.
The ol' "This power cord is coming with me." routine worked way better than getting spanked or yelled at. Just calm action/consequences with a clear message.
25:20 He really said: “Let’s look at this trailer… Minority detected! Minority detected! Minority detected! This is not a drill!” This shit just gets funnier and funnier lmao
For real. I'm a latino and lived a good portion of my life there, and it seems the only morons complaining are the ones who aren't from that area or never stepped foot in it. Those idiots will probably throw a tantrum when they find out most people in Miami are also of hispanic descent and people speak more Spanish than English there lol
This video was better than I was anticipating: I relish how consistent TheActMan is in how he frames his arguments, as he does in all of his critique videos - opinion, facts to support with references, opinion summation. It's as if he understands how to construct a proper OpED. Long time subcriber. I watched "Why is Elden Ring so Successful?!" about twenty times, but this is my favourite TAM video. Well done, good sir.
It's because most of these complainers are just pathetic little grifters. They want to stir up controversy because it generates clicks. The turd of Tim Pool admitted it himself in that clip, lol
@@KelpyJesus you are falling into the politics trap buddy, you are using a word you don't know the meaning of, please look up what fascism is before you use it.
i'll save you time, idiots who don't understand video games happen on both sides, and it has nothing to do with fascism, i remember feminists playing gtaV doing specific actions, like having sex with a hooker, then running her over and stealing her money, and then calling the game disgusting because you can do that. there are idiots in the world who don't understand anything about video games whatsoever.
@@Tweed_Tonewhy not just look at it as a different series, there’s multiple different universes in DC I don’t see why all the games have to be in the same universe, makes less sense that way anyway
Tbh even a game as early as GTA: SA does the diversity thing pretty nicely with the triad leader, the hombre from Southside, the G-Man, anti G-Man, crazy hispanic lady(?) and more. It doesn't feel forced. Instead, the game felt like an adventure where you meet tons of interesting people
You know, looking back at GTA 4, the game was quite progressive for 2008, there’s like 2 -3 gay characters who are pretty funny and likable (and we kill one of them lol)
@@riverrain3568 gta 5 would 100% have been called woke if it was released today. Both Franklin and Trevor are pro lgbt and the game makes fun of conservatives that are anti-imigration
That’s the one thing that’s positive about the video, it’s so good for parodying Bonus points because the guys where serious about it too, truly an early Christmas gift
I like to imagine that gta fans holding a cup of coffee while reading these terrible takes and news outlets and articles and laughing at them I do that
oh yeah. In france, our goverment respresentatives lies in almost every tweet they put out and they get systematically checked by the community notes. And then they go on Tv to cry about it. It's glorious 😂😂😂
@@rasengdori13 But it was used in the exact opposite way that it’s being used now. They were caught multiple times quoting made up data, quotes, news articles that were written for the sole purpose of planting narratives and the all dreaded “misinformation”.
It's depressingly hilarious and ludicrously sad that people complain and say that achievements in games are worthless, playing games is meaningless and a waste of time and money, and shows you have no life or skills when you could do everything in games for real. Clearly, they don't understand that STAR DESTROYERS are fictional, and playing like a raving Cowboy in 1899 or 1900 isn't possible IRL. We are not living in those years. Nor can most people just earn millions and buy dozens of cars and hundreds of GALAXY-sized mansions. And a lot of people are depressed or in some form of downs. The world sucks, everything sometimes sucks, in the worst form. Games allows us to escape reality. But the idiots don't want us to escape reality, they want us miserable and almost suicidal. Because their level of comprehension and intelligence is shallower than a puddle. Even if they are just as miserable as some of us are, or happy as some of us gamers are, they still can't understand, or they just won't, they don't want to. Games also allows us to wipe out entire species in the blink of an eye. IN A GAME. It's not the same as killing people IRL - it's simulated. But we might be fed up with something in life. Maybe someone annoyed us at work, maybe I stubbed my toe, maybe the food I had was really really bad. Gaming can help us vent. As for me... yeah, I am not successful, I'm on fucking welfare. But I am doing okay. Not many can say that today. And I have elephantine proportions of free time on my hands. If I am not reading, tinkering, walking around or such? GAMES. It's a good time sink, it gives me some level of fulfilment, it gives me a routine. I need that. A lot of people need that. We need the fun, we need the community it brings. If people refuse to even try to understand that, that's their problem. If they enforce it to be our problem... we tend to get rather pissed and fight them off. We want our games. We want our Empire builders, murder simulators, crime simulators, strategy, war games, all of it. We have our likes and dislikes, and games allow us to explore so much that we are not allowed to, or can't afford to, in real life. Games can be the solution and escape, and WE gamers love it and need it sometimes. OKAY, speech over, apologies if anyone is allergic to walls of text!
Games don't have to be simple dumb fun, reality escaping products. This sort of framing, specifically that video games are great form of escaping reality just seems kinda sad. Using video games to escape reality is also not a very healthy habit. Video Games are a work of art that can often makes us appreciate life even more. A medium from which we can share ideas, experiences, stories, concepts etc through analysing or witnessing a narrative unfold such as in RDR2, Bloodborne, Silent Hill, Dark Souls, Bioshock, Gris, The Last of Us and more. These games can often teach us something or provide another perspective on a particular issue or idea. You absolutely do not have to engage in this side of gaming btw. But it will make you appreciate your favourite games even more.
GTA where you can be, a dude wearing a white tank top in your underwear, walking around with a missile launcher, blowing up tanks, and military atack helicopters, as The government sent The army after you massacred half a city. But If a woman punchs a dude, that's just nah, no way, impossible, unrealistic. WOKE.
Women can't be buff, scary people who can punch anyone, let alone kick a man's butt, _unless_ you're discussing domestic violence against women. That's when they're suddenly big strong abusers who hit men all the time.
I think the point is the game tries to take itself somewhat seriously even if you can do crazy St. If it didn't take itself seriously at all, it would be even wilder. It's more like Saints row of old. If you were playing cod and one day there was an elephant gun in the game that shot elephants for no reason. It wouldn't make any sense and take you out of the immersion.
@@Delt4_Cr4wfish only to the same extent as the "no pink darth vader" argument from EA did. people will seriously stretch to just deny women anything, huh?
"Your children and grandshildren wont care about your video game accomplishments" My whole family used to play world of warcraft together, and my parents share stories of vanilla - wrath when me and my brother share our video game stories
Im going to tell my kids their dad was an elite gamer and theyre going to care, I hope it will motivate them to find something they care about and excel at it.
and yet, somehow, they still have meaning to me. even though in 100 billion years, this region of space will be dark and dead and nobody will remember the name "planet earth", i still think me beating malenia with a katana and no summons was pretty cool. sorry, twitter nihilists! that's what your ideology actually leads to! maybe read a book for once in your sad, pr0n-site-named lives!
@@audreyharris7643it's an argument worth having in certain settings, such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance, for example, but most of the time it was an euphemistic dogwhistle by racists for racists, because they feared backlash if they took off the mask and openly said what they meant. Under Musk, there's no longer such fear. If they take off the mask, they get applauded. Hence, all the unchecked racism on the app. It's no coincidence that the most racist comments come from verified (i.e., paying) users. In 2024 twitter, racism is rewarded.
Spiderman 2 is great sequel for me an improvement of what's already been great. Was already glad it's nominated. Previous still holds up since the narrative felt more of a Spiderman movie with Alvin Sargent
if you asked them "what'd you think of portal?", they'd say "what's that?" these people aren't gamers. they're not part of the community of the games they grift on. saying "gaben" to them is like speaking eldritch words that flay their skin at them.
Imagine belittling men who don’t want to play as a female because they feel it breaks immersion. The majority of gamers are men so it’s not that big of a stretch that most men prefer to play as a man, a person they can relate to.
The most annoying thing about romanian ork master Tate is, that his brainless zerglings are worse than ants, even for someone like me who doesn't use Twitter etc. They are creeping up everywhere.
John "avoids child support" in RDR? He literally spends the whole game trying to get his wife and son back, and in the end gives his life so they can get away.
@@noonecareswhatyouthink I wouldn't say he's a "deadbeat" per se, but he's definitely struggling with whether his loyalty lies with his wife or the gang, and the whole point of the end of the game is that Arthur helps him make the right choice when it all falls apart
I think the biggest point from this vid that I got was Tim Pool finally ID'ing himself for the grifter everybody always claimed him to be..... amazing it took a degenerate franchise to bring this revelation out..... Also, nice pokemon ad brake..
Dim Fool is one of if not the most transparent grifters on the internet. Also I love the clip of him saying he’s in his 30s and never had a gf and he has no idea why
I love how almost every time Act Man uses a positive example of character writing, diversity or story it’s usually RDR2 So I think it’s safe to say he loves it. Can’t wait for his review on it
Oh yes same as me as well. Its a really good game. For me the game is like a movie and game at the same time and i cant be tired of it. Its soooo good man i love rock star❤
Ian wants to be acknowledged by Daddy Musk so damn badly, it's hilarious. He probably cried into his body pillow when Doomsday Heist when they made fun of the moron with Avon.

I was in the same place as you, 23 flunking out of college with nothing to make me happy but weed and acid, but the future is bright friend, I went to community college, got a degree and a good job with full benefits and a pension, 3 years ago me wouldn’t believe how my life has turned around
I hate grifters, from either side. As a conservative, it makes me upset to see popular hosts like Glenn Beck and Timcast get views because people love controversy. It's crazy to think that Timcast's crew believe GTA6 won't sell well. Of course it will! The game looks awesome and I'm getting it day one.
Hey Act Man, you forgot one leaker in your leaks video: The Cyberpunk 2077 leaker, dude was high as a kite when he was playing the game on stream, it was barely even a leak too cause he spaced out for 8 minutes and just kept stopping and mumbling to himself.

The racism towards the NPCs in GTA VI is so weird, especially since as someone who grew up in Florida, I can tell you firsthand that most of Miami's population is Black and Hispanic people
As a parent I can confirm that talking to your kid and then enforcing strict rules and consequences works when you're not a douche-canoe about it. My youngest can get a little out of hand and there have been times I've alt f4 that program but never have I destroyed a PC (plus why would I do that when I can have another person play it.) I even give my kids a pass if they are in a match but they know damn well that whatever was asked of them better be done in order to keep that privilege. Edit: apparently I wrote parent as part...
Very true. Though the attitude warranted the response in my opinion. He kept his composure and just laid down the law. A kid like that could use a little authority in his life 🤷🏼♂️ difference of parenting styles
@@kingjosh3451 so I agree the kid needs to be parented differently but that's like a long build up into an explosive and somewhat violent tirade. That's not healthy or showing maturity. The dad lost because of all the times he let it slide and didn't put his foot down without throwing his strength around. Might doesn't make right and if you teach your kids that then there's going to come a day when that table has flipped and your on the receiving end. Trust me, it's not a parenting style difference. I've been there. Done stupid sh*t like that. It didn't help my kids. What helped them was having constant, consistent, rules and consequences. They knew what was expected of them and they knew what to expect from me.
@@cryptomancer2927Oh thank goodness you kinda acknowledged that one detail that few parents ever do: The kid will get old and you will get older; if you yell and hit them enough then one day they will take that lesson to heart by yellibg and hitting you right the hell back and your brittle-boned ass will _fold._
@@cryptomancer2927fucking finally, someone else having a rash and balanced take on something. While i think the beginning of the tirade was a little much. I can agree that kids (even if not mine by blood) need to listen to their parents and follow LOGICAL AND REASONABLE expecrations and rules set out for them. Even as a parent you stil need to listen to your kids and understand how to help them grow and be better (even if its just by following a routine of cleanliness).
@@evilsclone2499 ikr. It seems simple but dear God it's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It's a lot of putting your feelings and wants aside to ensure they're taken care of. There are so many times I want to just go to my computer and just game instead of being involved and devoting energy to them. And there are plenty of times I fail and I do give into that. Being a parent is a real job and responsibility. Sometimes you have to go put your foot down because it's what's best for the kid instead of ignoring it and being able to just coast.
GTA already had: -a black MC -an MC who did crime to care for his family -a trans character -a single mother getting pulled into the criminal underworld All of these appeared in the same game, a game that took place in Vice City, which is also the setting of GTA6
I swear it always seems like the non-gamers who complain the most, acting like a "hardcore" fan 😂 if I'm being honest I feel like these takes are fake, just for views, bc its outrageous 😂😂😂
The difference is you could make fun of those things. Now you can’t unless there’s white men. Everything has to be supported or otherwise it’s “problematic”

The political/social commentary in RDR2 is so subtle yet so powerful and interesting. Besides the Wapiti reserve quests, I remember riding to a mission with Lenny and he just casually talks about the racism he experiences and it hits you. These guys have not played a single Rockstar game, they are so well written, I honestly wish it was RDR3 and not GTA VI coming out, the latter franchise just tends to have an overly goofy feeling, whereas RDR games feel more balanced and grounded, but with all the fun still there.
The thing is, what room is there for a third, or technically fourth game? Another prequel? And it’s fundamentally a western series, you can’t have it set in the 1920s. Also, I love the game and it’s not subtle about its social commentary. It’s extremely left wing.

The whole entire moral of the GTA story is that the pursuit for crime and short term pleasures like drug abuse, casual sex or material possessions like expensive cars or sex trafficking rings are NOT the secret to living a long happy life. There are brutal, life destroying consequences in the real world and the only way that COULD be plausible is in a fictionalized world of faked entertainment like a video game.
Exactly. Rockstar shows with their games that "yes, in our game you can be a criminal and do what you want. But be ready for some hard and dark reality, when you will do it in real life"
I even read some posts from people who were criminals in the past and they loved GTA, because it shows why you should not become a gang member or a hard killer etc. This game also changed some ex-criminals lifes. So much for "GTA is killing people and kids"
GTA has always showed crime to be a terrible idea, but also recognizes that it's a video game at the end of the day - so it has to let us do said crime.
It has always been a parody effectively as well, at least as recently as GTA 3 (when they first transitioned to 3D). It parodies modern police - showing them having an infinite number of cops that will show up, escalating all the way to using tanks and such on you, over a few minutes long car chase if you end up being deadly enough. It parodies criminal gangs and popular culture around that sort of thing very heavily. The radio stations and such in-game have always included some hilarious bits to them as a parody of media, etc.
@@echomjp Exactly.
Running With Scissors is also like that with their Postal games. They literally say that violence should only exist in video games, not in real life.
Yeah GTA is literally what illusions of American Dream's really is
The absolute irony is that their entire podcast would fit in PERFECTLY as a radio station on gta 6 - or at least a parody of that sort of podcast. They had some great talk shows on the radio in 5 so I hope they really go in deep
The PLR radio station in 4 also had a bunch of stuff like this. I think it was mostly about healthcare industry arguments, racism, something about immigrants, and video games, so just typical radical Republicans.
Nah, GTA is to straight faced for that. But Saints Row, this would fit amazingly.
Can you believe it, you play as a Serbian in GTA IV. Rockstar has gone woke with the diversity! And this other guy who wants to go bowling all the time, is also a Serbian! How did it come to this, America? Nobody wants to play as that. Go woke go broke! GTA will never sell well!

GTA with the radio talk shows with racists, xenophobes, vegans, Republicans, religious zealots and unhinged psychopaths is the ultimate tongue in the cheek of America. The fact it's so exaggerated but at the same time relatable on some level makes it entertaining as hell. The writers know exactly how to write comedy.

“A woman hitting a man would do nothing”
-The frailest man I’ve seen this week.
Like he overestimates the average man, who hasn’t been hit and isn’t in shape. Also Lucia looks tough as hell and just got out of prison. Getting hit will fucking hurt, especially if the other person knows how to throw a punch. That’s honestly the biggest thing, technique. But also it’s GTA where you have mountains of guns to play with… so why do you care about how well somebody can punch people???
"A woman hitting a man isn't realistic"
isn't realistic? That's literally the expectation! Like if a man does something bad, really annoys a woman or cheats or something, not only is it expected that the woman would slap him, but it'd even be congratulated (or maybe that's just me, I often say "good on ya" when I see it).

The irony.
The ironic thing about Tristan Tate saying he doesn't see how people under 21 can play games where you kill people, is that he likes to drive fast cars and shoot guns and show that off to his 13 year old followers...I hate this timeline..
The real irony is that he, himself, has admitted to being addicted to Call of Duty until his brother pointed out that it was a waste of time - a statement that apparently gave him and epiphany and made him stop playing video games. And now he acts like he's above hobbies like that 😂
I believe you're making a bit of a false equivalence.. because I don't think driving fast cars or shooting at a gun range at non-living targets is the same as what you are insinuating. I don't agree with the take he has, but don't equate what he does with something entirely different to what you do in a game about being a criminal. lol

There is literally a video game genre called "Female Protagonist". I love how suddenly it's woke to have a female lead in a video game. We went from "videos are sexist because you play as a male lead," to "video games are woke because you play as a female lead."
And the pendulum forever swings back and forth.
The "SJW's" today are now the people who call everything woke
Woke has now completely lost its meaning. Why tf do people just now care about women as protagonists. Nobody complained about it in Control or RE 2, or even fucking AC oddysey. Why has it become such a problem is beyond me.

No sane person would make a character and then have them be trans, they'd just make a character of their preferred gender

The classic "Rule for Thee but Not for Me" rule
No, actually, he hasn't been arrested for any actual crimes, if that were the case he'd get a trial, they just kept him locked up on trumped up charges for several months when he threatened to get too big, and then they released him again when his popularity died down; without a single hint of a trial.

Andrew and Tristan should be parodied in GTA someday.
No doubt they will, if there was a Musk fucker in gta5 there'll surely be the Tates
Rockstar should. And I bet the two clowns would threaten to sue. And easily lose

But it was used in the exact opposite way that it’s being used now. They were caught multiple times quoting made up data, quotes, news articles that were written for the sole purpose of planting narratives and the all dreaded “misinformation”.
It's depressingly hilarious and ludicrously sad that people complain and say that achievements in games are worthless, playing games is meaningless and a waste of time and money, and shows you have no life or skills when you could do everything in games for real.
Clearly, they don't understand that STAR DESTROYERS are fictional, and playing like a raving Cowboy in 1899 or 1900 isn't possible IRL. We are not living in those years.
Nor can most people just earn millions and buy dozens of cars and hundreds of GALAXY-sized mansions. And a lot of people are depressed or in some form of downs. The world sucks, everything sometimes sucks, in the worst form.
Games allows us to escape reality. But the idiots don't want us to escape reality, they want us miserable and almost suicidal. Because their level of comprehension and intelligence is shallower than a puddle. Even if they are just as miserable as some of us are, or happy as some of us gamers are, they still can't understand, or they just won't, they don't want to.
Games also allows us to wipe out entire species in the blink of an eye. IN A GAME. It's not the same as killing people IRL - it's simulated. But we might be fed up with something in life. Maybe someone annoyed us at work, maybe I stubbed my toe, maybe the food I had was really really bad. Gaming can help us vent.
As for me... yeah, I am not successful, I'm on fucking welfare. But I am doing okay. Not many can say that today. And I have elephantine proportions of free time on my hands. If I am not reading, tinkering, walking around or such? GAMES. It's a good time sink, it gives me some level of fulfilment, it gives me a routine. I need that. A lot of people need that. We need the fun, we need the community it brings. If people refuse to even try to understand that, that's their problem. If they enforce it to be our problem... we tend to get rather pissed and fight them off.
We want our games. We want our Empire builders, murder simulators, crime simulators, strategy, war games, all of it. We have our likes and dislikes, and games allow us to explore so much that we are not allowed to, or can't afford to, in real life. Games can be the solution and escape, and WE gamers love it and need it sometimes.
OKAY, speech over, apologies if anyone is allergic to walls of text!
Games don't have to be simple dumb fun, reality escaping products. This sort of framing, specifically that video games are great form of escaping reality just seems kinda sad. Using video games to escape reality is also not a very healthy habit.
Video Games are a work of art that can often makes us appreciate life even more. A medium from which we can share ideas, experiences, stories, concepts etc through analysing or witnessing a narrative unfold such as in RDR2, Bloodborne, Silent Hill, Dark Souls, Bioshock, Gris, The Last of Us and more. These games can often teach us something or provide another perspective on a particular issue or idea. You absolutely do not have to engage in this side of gaming btw. But it will make you appreciate your favourite games even more.
GTA where you can be, a dude wearing a white tank top in your underwear, walking around with a missile launcher, blowing up tanks, and military atack helicopters, as The government sent The army after you massacred half a city.
But If a woman punchs a dude, that's just nah, no way, impossible, unrealistic. WOKE.
Women can't be buff, scary people who can punch anyone, let alone kick a man's butt, _unless_ you're discussing domestic violence against women.
That's when they're suddenly big strong abusers who hit men all the time.
I think the point is the game tries to take itself somewhat seriously even if you can do crazy St. If it didn't take itself seriously at all, it would be even wilder. It's more like Saints row of old. If you were playing cod and one day there was an elephant gun in the game that shot elephants for no reason. It wouldn't make any sense and take you out of the immersion.
@@Delt4_Cr4wfish You haven't played any cod games from the last several years, have you?

I love how the argument has gone from "historic accuracy" to " Yes, no black people"
The honesty is refreshing.
The first thing had merit to it but a good amount of people probably used it wrong
@@audreyharris7643it's an argument worth having in certain settings, such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance, for example, but most of the time it was an euphemistic dogwhistle by racists for racists, because they feared backlash if they took off the mask and openly said what they meant. Under Musk, there's no longer such fear. If they take off the mask, they get applauded. Hence, all the unchecked racism on the app. It's no coincidence that the most racist comments come from verified (i.e., paying) users. In 2024 twitter, racism is rewarded.
Accuracy is a totally valid argument... but do these people not know what cities in the US look like?!

I hate grifters, from either side. As a conservative, it makes me upset to see popular hosts like Glenn Beck and Timcast get views because people love controversy. It's crazy to think that Timcast's crew believe GTA6 won't sell well. Of course it will! The game looks awesome and I'm getting it day one.
Hey Act Man, you forgot one leaker in your leaks video: The Cyberpunk 2077 leaker, dude was high as a kite when he was playing the game on stream, it was barely even a leak too cause he spaced out for 8 minutes and just kept stopping and mumbling to himself.

As a parent I can confirm that talking to your kid and then enforcing strict rules and consequences works when you're not a douche-canoe about it.
My youngest can get a little out of hand and there have been times I've alt f4 that program but never have I destroyed a PC (plus why would I do that when I can have another person play it.)
I even give my kids a pass if they are in a match but they know damn well that whatever was asked of them better be done in order to keep that privilege.
Edit: apparently I wrote parent as part...
Very true. Though the attitude warranted the response in my opinion. He kept his composure and just laid down the law. A kid like that could use a little authority in his life 🤷🏼♂️ difference of parenting styles
@@kingjosh3451 so I agree the kid needs to be parented differently but that's like a long build up into an explosive and somewhat violent tirade. That's not healthy or showing maturity.
The dad lost because of all the times he let it slide and didn't put his foot down without throwing his strength around. Might doesn't make right and if you teach your kids that then there's going to come a day when that table has flipped and your on the receiving end.
Trust me, it's not a parenting style difference. I've been there. Done stupid sh*t like that. It didn't help my kids. What helped them was having constant, consistent, rules and consequences. They knew what was expected of them and they knew what to expect from me.
@@cryptomancer2927Oh thank goodness you kinda acknowledged that one detail that few parents ever do: The kid will get old and you will get older; if you yell and hit them enough then one day they will take that lesson to heart by yellibg and hitting you right the hell back and your brittle-boned ass will _fold._
@@cryptomancer2927fucking finally, someone else having a rash and balanced take on something. While i think the beginning of the tirade was a little much. I can agree that kids (even if not mine by blood) need to listen to their parents and follow LOGICAL AND REASONABLE expecrations and rules set out for them. Even as a parent you stil need to listen to your kids and understand how to help them grow and be better (even if its just by following a routine of cleanliness).
@@evilsclone2499 ikr. It seems simple but dear God it's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It's a lot of putting your feelings and wants aside to ensure they're taken care of.
There are so many times I want to just go to my computer and just game instead of being involved and devoting energy to them. And there are plenty of times I fail and I do give into that.
Being a parent is a real job and responsibility. Sometimes you have to go put your foot down because it's what's best for the kid instead of ignoring it and being able to just coast.
GTA already had:
-a black MC
-an MC who did crime to care for his family
-a trans character
