We're changing topics before this gets worse.
I get that you're trying to "be the better person" but there's a difference between "simple and mild" and passive-aggressive. Am I a GTA fan boy? Not by any stretch of the imagination. But I don't say games that I've never/barely played are bad based on what society says about them.
GTA is trash game I mean nobody's forcing me to play it and I won't but eh, why not shout out my opinion? After all, this is the internet.
Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.
ANYWAY, I just looked up some info about No Man's Sky. It looks pretty cool, but it remains to be seen whether or not the developers can provide what they've promised. Hopefully that doesn't become a trend again this year.
GTA 5 makes fun of social media, videogame addiction, women, minorities, drug abuse, and promiscuity but it is never really clear whether the game has any goal in mind in doing so. Satire seeks to improve humanity by arousing our disapproval of an object or idea. GTA 5 just wants us laugh at how misguided its black characters are, how annoying its female characters are, and how many penis jokes "Trevor" can recite. It is also very racist and sexist.GTA 5 has little room for women except to portray them as strippers, prostitutes, long-suffering wives, humorless girlfriends and goofy, new-age feminists which is NOT funny.
I am told that GTA5 is a satire of the American Dream… kinda like GTA4 was satire of the American dream. Satire, however, generally has something to say. GTA5 makes fun of social media, videogame addiction, women, minorities, drug abuse, and promiscuity but it is never really clear whether the game has any goal in mind in doing so. Satire seeks to improve humanity by arousing our disapproval of an object or idea.

On a less positive note, it’s deeply frustrating that, while its central and supporting male characters are flawed and complex characters, with a few extremely minor exceptions (such as the aforementioned optional getaway driver), GTA V has little room for women except to portray them as strippers, prostitutes, long-suffering wives, humorless girlfriends and goofy, new-age feminists we’re meant to laugh at.
