The same crap is happening in the EU too. It’s everywhere.

The “for the children” boomers get their wish. The rest of us lose our privacy. And the kids? Well they’ll just get their smut from torrents. Those sites don’t obey the law because if they did they wouldn’t have existed in the first place. Nothing will actually change there.

And really, who hasn’t viewed tons of porn when they were young? And turned out totally fine?

It’s a shame. The GamesCom in Europe seems to be doing quite well so it’s not really a matter of “conferences are dead”.

I know conferences are no longer a place for big announcements. There’s no more need to gather all the press in one place, they can just do it online now, at a dedicated time when they’re not competing with other announcements in the industry. But as a visitor I really enjoyed going to GamesCom. Never been to the US so the E3 is not a thing for me but I’m sure this will have knock-on effects globally.

I think the story of San Andreas was pretty nice. It’s very much scarface (in fact all the GTA’s were like this).

The online missions of GTA V were terrible IMO. They’re pretty degenerate yes. But the Singleplayer was nice. I also love the social commentary on US society. I really miss the roleplaying that people used to do in GTA:SA MP (third-party multiplayer mod) but of course rockstar had to go and kill it so they could sell their shark cards.

Well it was mainly screwed on consoles though, not on PC 😺

Ehmmmm your ex is weird.

Not news as it’s 100% in line with their previous releases. I assume they are just paid by the console makers for exclusivity (though in this case not platform exclusivity but console in general).

The good thing is that the PC version usually gets the version that’s graphically improved, like the next-gen version of GTA V that came for Xbone as opposed to the launch version for Xbox 360.

I’m not really excited for it anymore anyway. GTA V was a huge disappointment, as no single-player DLC was ever released. I’ve never been interested in the online stuff so the whole game is a distant memory for me. I also thought the story lacked the depth of previous games. The three characters felt too generic.

What I’d be really stoked for is GTA: San Andreas for Oculus Quest. It was announced by Meta 2 years ago and there has been zero info about it since so I doubt it’s still coming. But if it did I’d jump on it <3
