How woke will GTA 6 be?

[VPANCE]

As I recently re-played the game, you can clearly sense a distinct contrast to modern games here—one that’s unapologetically masculine.

Now as hinted in the trailer, we're seeing an interesting dynamic where the female protagonist is noticeably pretty badass, with the other token guy being more of a soft-spoken type who acts out of place.

Given the series's legacy of unapologetically crude and hyper-masculine vibes, I can't help but wonder what kind of detrimental effect this tonal shift might bring？

Is the woke in the room with us right now?

Please show us on this masculine doll where the woke has touched you!

My hope is that if this game is "too woke" or whatever you think it will be, you just be stoic, keep your money for something else and keep your window licking mouth closed about it. Sick of people pissing and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ themselves here over "wokeness". Get a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grip.

Not relevant at all unless you have personal issues. What most are looking forward to is a GTA that is developed by current gen tech(new engine, more detail and more content). And the new map is very interesting also, GTA fans know the Los Santos area better than they know themselves.

A shame they're going to expect $100 for it and will probably lock a majority of online content behind GTA+ subs.

You might wanna focus on learning how to type properly without being censored before having a meltdown lol.

And it's just a undeniable fact that while literally everyone else globally has grown weary of excessive political correctness in gaming — particularly Asian audiences — only American devs still pat themselves on the back for cramming more woke elements into their games lmao.

No matter how advanced your technical prowess or graphics may be, if you alter a game's core essence, you fundamentally change the experience - just look at the Saints Row reboot. Frankly, it's laughable you call yourself a GTA fan while missing this fundamental truth.

That’s indeed a smart idea, as it’ll likely help you dodge an overpriced, sanctimonious spiel.

Just because Gta 6 has a badass woman as the main character doesn't mean the game's woke, as long as no political or Social Justice message isn't transmitted in Gta 6 then it's not woke, if Gta 6 truly was woke Lucia would be a 101% badass woman while Jason (The Male main character) Would be a extremely useless soft man. No, Both will be equally important in Gta 6, so, Gta 6 WON'T BE WOKE IF THERE'S NO POLITICAL MESSAGE TRANSMITTED which won't happen since Rockstar Games barely complies with SJWs.

I'm trying to follow your logic here, because everything you're saying ironically ends up validating my point lol.

*Rockstar Games barely complies with SJWs.* thats funny because if I recall correctly, in recent years they've been constantly boasting about how progressive they've become, taking pride in eliminating the fratboy culture within the company, and implementing self-censorship for the PS5 version of GTA5 - though none of this is surprising, as we've seen countless such examples in modern gaming.

OP is closet woke.

[Scratchie]

Of course the game is going to be woke. NPCs in the game are going to fight for woke culture, and NPCs in the game are going to make fun of the woke people. It's a GTA game, they've alway play both sides of every coin.

Modern era GTA games usually reflect on current issues and events. If woke is not in the game one way or another it is not going to be a GTA game.
