Fuck Rockstar and Fuck GTA

>"LOL dude, let's try and have a serious story but like, let's have every single scene or piece of dialogue dripping with irony humor, satire or sex jokes."

Was it written by dude weed lmaos? It just makes the tone of the game feel so dissonant.

Rockstar has never had this down with the GTA games. Even IV's serious story and dialogue felt completely out of place in the retard american satire world it happened in.

I actually felt, as dissonant and weird as GTA4's story felt, it was still more heartfelt than GTA5's. Niko at least had some heart, empathy and a backstory you could invest in.

I'm not even sure what the narrative wants us to feel towards Trevor. Is he supposed to be somewhat likable?

Kill yourself

>"LOL dude, let's try and have a serious story
What part of gta v is serious to you
Kys zoomer retard

>trying to be serious
user are you after a stroke?

There's been this idea in the gaming press for a while (since at least SA) that GTA is some great satirical skewering of contemporary American society. But it's really not. It's incredibly simplistic, boring stuff, parodied and made fun of by far funnier people (including some of the posters on this site) than anyone writing for R*.

The problem is that because game journos have pushed this idea, it has become a sort of simulacrum meme that everyone now believes in. In this simulacrum the GTA franchise is actually incredibly funny, witty, not crass and not recycled. It's a shame because I'd like to see a game in the same format as GTA: a contemporary, realistic open world crime setting, without all the terrible humor. But it's never going to happen.

Don't get me wrong it was effective enough and niko was great, it just never quite jives with it's own universe. Trevor just seems to be rockstar's attempt at a proper "player avatar" that makes sense to go on rampages with.
great argument you dumb fucking mongoloid

I'm not arguing with you. I'm telling you to kill yourself.

Games with multiple characters are always shit, just look at TLOU2.

he's right though

almost always true. i would only point out detroit become human as an example of it working pretty well

It just makes no sense, in TLOU2 it's even worse because you have to start resource gathering and collecting upgrade manuals all over again, and it's the same in most multiple character games. It doesn't allow you to focus all your development on one person.

>rs
>omg where is my super serious gta story
retarded zoomers liek you ruined the series unironically kill yourself you are beyond retarded
go jerk off to gta4 and watch crowbcat videos you adhd faggot fuck

>let's try and have a serious story
but the story isn't serious

>let's have every single scene or piece of dialogue dripping with irony humor, satire or sex jokes
But it doesn't.

Agreed. It's a very, very poor man's South Park.

You have to understand that Joss Whedon made a completely new style of writing by making lots of action happening in a setting but maintaining very pedantic and quick witted dialogue. It was peak Tarantino and Kevin Smith. It bled into a lot of media and got him singled out to direct the god damned avengers. I’m talking out of my ass but I know some autist can connect the dots and explain how Buffy directly influenced media should until Joss finally went away.

Zoomers like GTA's humor though.

What happened to Joss anyways? Didn't he get cancelled years ago for being a creepy rapist or something?.

Crowbcat is a faggot, and the problem is that the stories DO try to be serious, Michael's whole arc, particularly towards the end and his betrayal, is very clearly not meant to be taken tongue in cheek.

The humor wouldn't be so bad if it was funny, but it isn't. GTA's humor isn't funny anymore. It's just awkward dick jokes for the sake of it. For goodness sake the game thinks making jokes with the numbers "69" is funny, how fucking old are you that you're praising this shit and calling other people zoomers?

They were better at it before. GTAV was just shit, but too big to fail at that point. They used to make 9s, not R* make 7s and still get praised on the legacy alone.

It's an utterly trash game that glorifies theft, violence, drugs, illicit sex, killing cops, black culture, profanity and anarchy. Every NPC you drive past is constantly cussing, even by just walking up to one they will try and knock you out. All of this bundled with a spyware launcher that harvests your data and greedy Jewish business practices that encourage you to buy shark cards.

The only redeeming factor is the graphics and city recreation.This game is poison to the mind and you a retard if you play it.

Story was never GTA's strong point.

>how fucking old are you that you're praising this shit
Where did he praise the story?

>feel when the humor genuinely just seems uncomfortable to me now ("haha, molest your boss, haha!", "medical COCAINE, haha!")
>feel when Jack Thompson was unironically right about this garbage franchise

Rockstar should retire it and put all of that cool technology to work on making a sci-fi RPG instead. It's overwhelmingly non-whites who disproportionately love this franchise.

>new game comes out
>wow new game is an overrated absolute fucking putrid piece of dogshit 0/10
>newer game comes out
>new game is now old game
>wow old game is an underrated absolute fucking masterpiece of kino ludography 11/10
why is Zig Forums like this?

Nobody is claiming that here. This isn't a crowbcat thread. The general point is that the GTA franchise isn't funny and needs to stop it with the recycled "satire".

the worst scene in this is when Trevor kills the dude and his gf who own the apartment he's been crashing at. just really fucking unnecessary, what a shitty character.

Do you mean the biker guy, or someone else? After TLOU2 I'm starting to think people who complain about gratuitous violence in media have a point. To a certain degree I get it in horror though, I have to admit.

Trevor is a shit character, but that spinless simp and the bitch who keeps his balls in her purse deserved to die.

You seem pretty triggered by his post. You should take your own advice, most people agree IV was pretty shit and hard to take seriously.

Didn't the whole discussion around "ludonarrative dissonance" start with 4? I'm surprised I haven't heard more critiques of 5 because that term applies far more to 5 than it does to 4.

kek, and then the game at the end is like "michael betrayed trevor, you should feel sorry for him!"

what a joke of a narrative.

the fucking good fellas-style final shot of the game is honestly one of the most insulting things about the game, I really hate rockstar and its shitty cinematics.

>gta series
>needing serious stories
bet you think minecraft needs a story mode that has a serious story too

Trevor asks Michael "WHO'S IN THE COFFIN"
michael: ".... I dunno"
