Interesting. It gave me pause, because I kinda saw GTA IV as a step back from what I wanted/expected from the series. It's very gray and realistic. Gone are the random weapon pickups and powerups, kill frenzies and rampages (actually those were removed in SA but you know what I mean). Obviously the graphics were a huge step up. The way you could fly through the windshield and the drunk physics were top notch, and I ended up enjoying the story and the gameplay. It's not a bad game, or a bad GTA by any means. Still, I'd would sooner replay VC or SA than IV.

I liked how GTA V brought back some of the stuff. It's not as arcadey as the old 3D games, but it's more colourful, both in design and the characters. And the mechanic of switching between 3 protagonists works remarkably well and makes it stand out.

The series in question didn't really disappoint me since it started almost 30 years ago. When it moved to 3D it was pretty mindblowing - a lot of games stumbled when they attempted that, but this series was better than ever.

And the upcoming game is returning to a setting that was my favourite in the series, so yeah. I'm excited to play it.

Not gonna pay for it, but definitely looking forward to playing it at some point. Whatever you think about the developer, I don't see them messing it up too much.

Are you singling out VC and SA? o.0

Wait, a new Jedi Outcast sequel is in the works?!

Damn. I'd love to see Dark Forces 5: Jedi Knight 4: Jedi Outcast 3: Jedi Academy 2

This reminds me of what happened to me many years ago. I was riding a moderately packed tram to school, still half asleep, when a guy came up to me and showed me an ID card. I thought he was a ticket inspector and so I look my pass and showed it to him. He nodded and went away.

Only after a few seconds my brain finally managed to decipher what was written on his card - that he's disabled. So obviously I jumped up and lead him to my seat with apologies, but I found it hilarious how we both apparently misunderstood each of our ID's, just in opposite directions.

It's super obviously a joke, probably with a large dose of mareting stunt.

To be fair, statues are the straightest example of objectifying people.

Always has been

I did and turns out this fact is made of wood.

Based.

The car goes out of view for a but and then fails to appear when you'd expect it to which draws your attention just before the face appears. It's subtle and devious.

It's an American tradition.

So I'm supposed to memorise all your little community rules just to post here?

I wouldn't call it safe. The required margin is unknown and the initiative could still dip under 1 mil.

Additional signatures could still help. If you know somebody who can and hasn't signed yet, ask them to.

Yeah, meme posted on Lemmy is exactly what's going to end the whole thing.

I hate it

Yeah, but the boxy interior sticks out.

There was the guy who came up with the idea of putting lead into petrol, only to see the environmental devastation. He pledged to make something good to compensate and came up with using freons in refrigeration.

He didn't live ling enough to learn of how this blew a huge hole in the ozone layer, because he died tangled in wires of a special bed he designed.
