That's the thing I hate about the trailer. It feels more like saints row, but one actually based on reality.
What made GTA great was it's parody of Hollywood tropes of the eighties/nineties. A parody that was a hyper statement of normality.
This GTA is taking actual Florida men/women notheonion stories and aggrandizing them in fiction.
Saints row used to be the over the top 'Murica Fuck yeah', trashy culture glorifying spin off.
I hate how the parody is slipping and saints row and real life are more and more indistinguishable. That's not fun to me, it's deeply disconcerting and I will not partake.
Sometimes when you stare at a mirror, the mirror stares back at you…
I think that's the fault of real life, more than the game.
I'm not assigning guilt here. I am personally more apt to indulge in a lovely corney 80's storyline with moustaches and such, rather than reality.
But yeah i think parody ihas disappeared, reality is weirder.
