  • Grand Theft Auto is a video game franchise built around criminal activity," Cordero-Stutz said in a statement (via the Miami Herald). "Its fictional world includes murder, robbery, drug trafficking, carjacking, violence against law enforcement, and other conduct that the men and women of the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office work every single day to prevent.

    Ah so he would be equally upset promoting movies or tv shows who show any crimes. Nuance and satire are not a thing for this man. See now Hollywood, Miami doesn’t need anything filmed in their city.

    Such an obvious ploy to try and convince the oearl clutchers to vote for him for mayor. Even though this is a very unique thing to bring in tourists.

    But no a train and plane wrap, and a place for selfies and influencers will bring Miami into chaos.




  • It’s that it’s not downvoting at this point. It’s brigading. That’s what I’m really annoyed at. It’s not that people disagree, it’s that everyone dogpiles on because GTA bad must hit downvote to send it to -1000. That ruins it for those who do want to enjoy it and makes it harder to see, and then we can’t have an honest conversation about it until someone posts “hey it’s kind of annoying that it’s being brigaded”


  • I actually do agree with you. I am tired of people only complaining and brigading on anything GTA. Its so cringey to me, they could simply ignore the content, but instead have to make sure everyone knows they’re on the Lemmy bandwagon. They’re hipsters, plain and simple. They are too cool for the next star wars and biggest game of the decade, and they have to make sure eeeeveryone knows this. I am excited for the game and wish I could engage more with that side.








  • I think that’s what I’m trying to say though, is rockstar is one if only two that actually may be worth it, and that’s only if they meet a red dead 2 level of relplayability.

    I break things down by hours of enjoyment vs cost. So let’s say a movie ticket is 2 hour a for $20 now. So $10/hr. Pretty high. Ubisoft games are $60 and it takes about $60 hours, but I’ll only play it once probably. So $1/hr. Much better than a movie theater but then there’s red dead 2. $60 originally, but I’ve played now 5 times at 120 hours a play through, so 600 hours. (I did not plan for the math to work out that easily, but it’s accurate). So 600 hours, so $0.10/hr. So to me and my personal math, $100 is justified, even twice, if I will be playing it over and over.

    It’s also why I truly laugh and shame ubisoft for thinking they deserve the same. There’s absolutely no way it does. It’s 1/10th the value of a rockstar game.
