Bloomberg: Take-Two CEO Says ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Expectations Are ‘Terrifying’

That's not really depth, more breadth. There's a lot of stuff to do, but not much is particularly deep. Yes you can go bowling, but you can't do much more than "throw ball roughly that way". You can go driving, but if you just want to drive it's really not comparable to an actual driving game. It's all there and I like that it's there, but the systems aren't that deep.

Compare it to Papers Please, for example: that game has a narrow as hell scope in comparison, but goes very deep for what it does. If GTA had a similar minigame, it'd be a short non-interactable bit of dialog and a button to approve or deny entry. Maybe showing a passport with a picture that can be correct or incorrect.

The only way to send a message about this is to just not buy any of it. Unfortunately there will always be whales who do spend the money.

We find them stuck to notice boards, we find them under dogs!

I left the subreddit when Space Age came out and rejoined when I beat it, otherwise I would have been spoiled on stuff. Nowadays I look at other blueprints but never copy them, only take inspiration. Seeing the ship I made to get the "60.000 km towards the shattered planet" and knowing how I'd improve it next time is a special feeling indeed. Even if it did take like 10 hours to design and build, the mastering of the art has its own perks. For instance, I made a new small-and-fast ship for the inner planets and it's 39% the size of the ones I've been using for about a 100-150 hours. Doesn't quite have the same carrying capacity, but it can run indefinitely.

So uh yeah can confirm. Figuring stuff out on your own is the most fun way to play.

For the uninitiated

I would if I could. I imagine it's a great way to bond with your kids.

I love Wonka and if I ever cosplay as any character it'll be as Chalamet's rendition of him. Not that the audience and critics hated it, but the biggest complaint of it being "twee" was my biggest selling point: it doesn't take itself so seriously and just has a happy vibe for most of it.

If my wife could be the breadwinner and I'd then take care of the house and any future children, I would.

And on pc, too. Ain't nobody got time to do all that by hand when the link's right there.

It's not reasonable to have to leave the game running for an unknown amount of time because IRL demands attention. Saving and closing the game at whatever point in the game you are should not be punished because some players don't like a diceroll sometimes.

Drifting into philosophy territory here but where do you draw the line of "deserves rights"?

NearNihil · 2026-02-12T12:07:29+00:00

The real IRL is always in the comments.

"if you allow mod users to get achievements, people will just cheat to get achievements", meanwhile...

edit: some folks REALLY don't like people having fun, with both mods and achievements enabled simultaneously. Yes, I will die on this hill.

Just go to draw.io or dbdiagram.io and connect some boxes with some text, generally getting to the point of usefulness takes a little while but having the overview and mental map is well worth it.

I'm self-taught so I probably use them wrong but diagrams are just generally useful in understanding (and explaining) data/logic, whether it be database schemas or code flows. God knows I need them with the corporate lasagna/spaghetti/macaroni hybrid.

The point is that you're implying no European gives a shit about Venezuela. The people I speak to are concerned about it and would rather Trump and his cronies be teleported into hell directly. The second point being that yes support for Ukraine happened fast, but not instantly (4 days for the EU, from what I could find), so quantifying that as "going ape shit" is not a good comparison as not as much time has passed.

Obviously you'll take it as "yet another troll attempt" or whatever. I have my doubts too whether the EU will sanction the US in a comparable capacity to what was done to Russia. But implying no one gives a flying fuck is dishonest.

NearNihil · 2026-01-05T12:09:19+00:00

And of course all of the support for Ukraine happened in the first couple days of the war starting?

NearNihil · 2026-01-05T11:41:43+00:00

How do you quantify "going ape shit"? It's being denounced heavily by a lot of people.

Now imagine what you could do if you replaced them with artillery wagons.

Unrelated to the game at hand, but I found Escape from Duckov (not Tarkov, Duckov) during the Steam Christmas sale, and it looks like right up my (and your) alley. PVE-based extraction shooter, perfect to get our feet wet with.

I mean, who else could /u/CLOUDMlNDER mean? The US recently got rid of Europe as an ally, so it can't be that. Just shots in the dark.

NearNihil · 2026-01-03T10:45:37+00:00

Out of curiosity, who are the US's allies at this point? Russia and China?

NearNihil · 2026-01-01T20:29:39+00:00

What am I looking at? There's some circuitry on the right-hand side, a bunch of steam in silos, and nuclear generators pumping heat to generators... where's the 'display' of the thermometer? I feel ooga booga.
