The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI has landed, and it looks fantastic

I think it looks awful, a real example of what the world has turned in to and I don't want that in games, I play games to avoid that kind of BS.

By that I mean the whole, TikTok, Instagram stuff.

I won't be playing this one at all!

I totally understand what you mean. I find all that stuff kinda gross too.

But that's GTA down through the ages. Rockstar said that when they were developing RDR2, they were glad it wasn't GTA VI, because the social norms at the time were painfully awkward for them to adapt and poke fun of.

Maybe they still feel that way but have had to bite the bullet and give the masses what they want. They want tweaking, nudity, graphic violence, meme culture, teenagers trying to look like adults in TikToks, swearing, drugs, people want all this. GTA is one of the most popular game series of all time because people get to live a debauched life vicariously through completely immoral characters.

The reality is, in my opinion, if you don't like the TikTok stuff (which I totally get), why would you like the graphic violence and sexuality? It's been par the course for these games for decades.

What image are people mostly copying from the trailer? The girl with fake boobs on a boat. Not gameplay but half-naked girls. What gameplay did we actually see? Not much, if any.

Yet the the video has 127m views on Rockstar's page right now. It's shaping up to be the biggest game of all time. If you took out all the nudity, would people be as amped? If you took out the twerking?

I only know a few small communities who play GTA because of its sandbox nature. Many people want to play it because they want to live vicariously through the insane eyes of another sex/violent-addicted Trevor. So to me, the Insta-Tok stuff is just another part of the grossness.

And isn't that what gaming is all about? Living vicariously through someone else, whether you're driving a truck, building a city, shooting people, or warding off monsters with magic.
 
For me games are about immersion. When you are so invested in the character then you can recall lore, dialogue, history, previous conversations within the game etc. Then it has succeeded.

When I find myself skipping dialogue to get to the point, or just to skip pointless filler conversations then I know this isnt the game for me. I honestly couldnt care about nudity or the joy of violence that some have when playing similar titles. But give me a great story with plot twists or shock and surprise that I lean back in my chair and think "f**k!" or "holy sh*t". That will be deserving of my money :)

If I want nudity, violence etc ill just google it :D

Simple answer is no. Whatever we may talk about, if it includes nudity and sexuality, it will sell like butter.
There's a reason the porn industry is an multi billion dollar one. Just look at OnlyFans, would it have become so successfull without all of the nudity etc? Highly doubt it... TikTok is different due to it's limited and moderated in a sense of what's being uploaded etc.
 
No doubt the world will be beautifully done and graphics in general will be nice but I dislike nudity and sex in games and vehemently despise social media so GTA6 having all of these themes is an easy decision not to play it.

Even GTA5 I have a total of maybe a few hours and that is solely for using the built in benchmark over the years with various hardware, The game itself holds zero interest for me.

Rockstars formula with GTA has been the same since their first proper 3D GTA, GTA3, Vulgar language, Sex, Over the top violence, Drugs, Mafia, Gangs and killing cops, Same thing over and over again just in different eras and cities.

Tiktok moderated? Lol no. Where do you think half the Onlyfan girls come from? That and Twitter/X. But X is mostly bot accounts so take that how you will.

What I meant by TikTok being moderated is that I haven't seen any full nudity on there, not like on OnlyFans. OnlyFans can have pure on porn, like full on sex videos. Haven't seen that on TikTok yet, but then I never use TikTok anyway since I want to keep my braincells ^_^

NBD is right. TikTok is full of it. Women doing intentional "accidental slips" and links to their OF sites in bio etc.

The thing with TikTok is that is shows you what it thinks is your preference. Might be why you never see this kind of thing. I keep getting Warhammer painting or silly Dog videos :D both of which I have no issues with at all !

I had tiktok for a total of 1 week to have a look, All the videos I saw were of my main hobby in life, Bodybuilding, Some were decent but they started to get sillier and sillier. Deleted the account as it's a pointless time sink like most social media.
