Perhaps....but I suppose if they really wanted to follow that sort of approach they may as well have got rid of the Male/Female choice at the start and let players just pick and choose what ever they want and sack off labelling the charyone way or the other.

 

I'm not criticising them for it as pretty much every game like this does it but from what I've played of games like this the choice of being a male or female seems to be completely cosmetic anyway so why does it need to be a choice?

 

Hah, not going to list hundreds of games but the most significant (that I've found so far) is who, if anyone you can romance.

 

I think (happy to be corrected if wrong) that there are straight and gay options for each gender. One of the semi - important characters has transitioned so possibly choices based on that too?

Did Mass Effect 2 do that with the romance aspect? Did it change anything if it was a male male or female female relationship? I can't remember.

 

I think so. You could only romance space Racist Williams if you weren't FemShep (and why would you be? Terrible choice!)

I couldn't be female Shep.

 

I tried!

 

But she walks like she's shat herself.

 

Can't be doing with that over the course of three games.

To be fair though, I got bored of rampaging on innocent civs back in the Vice City / San Andreas days, so I generally treat them as window dressing to ignore in most open world things. 


What does this even mean?

 

The most fun you can have in every GTA game is chasing a pedestrian until they get run over by a car.

Horses for courses. I enjoy the stories and characters in GTA games (IV being the exception, because it's duff), but some people look down their nose at that aspect of the game and just enjoy fucking about.

 

Many people enjoy the story and characters in JRPGs like Persona, and I look down my nose at those, but I reckon I'd enjoy the battle systems in those games. I just can't get past the everything else about those games.

Is this true? There's no driver an pedestrian AI?

 

 

It's not true in my experience. I dunno, it's weird. I can't say I spend a lot of time harassing pedestrians though. Seems mostly to be handled pretty much the same as in something like Yakuza which I don't see as some egregious fault. Yakuza LaD is the best game of the year after all.

Played a bunch more tonight. I'm digging it. 

 

But man. I wish someone would be brave enough to make one of these sorts of games that was full on an RPG. No 'traditional' combat. All talking and stats and skill checks.  Keep the walking around and exploring. Ditch loot and gear and all that padding bullshit. It's so terribly tedious. I've done it so many times before. 

 

I love it when I'm exploring and talking to people. The shooting (chopping) and looting just pulls me out of it a bit.

Thinking back, this must surely be one of if not the biggest car crashes in the history of games?

 

I'm actually enjoying the game it but I'm struggling to think of a recent game of this scale that has had such hype and enthusiasm towards it and then such humungous backlash. I mean this is really kinda crazy.

 

 

No Mans Sky perhaps but that wasn't released on every gaming platform going.

 

Has there been another recent example?

Yeah I fully agree @robdood. I wish this was a detective RPG where you walk around the city, talk to people, review braindances, hack systems, and don't fire a single shot.

This is what I was kind of hoping for something along the lines of the Blade Runner game that came out on the PC years ago.That or at least options to have missions like this and choose that direction if you want to. Always get bored with GTA games. This seems like a GTA set in the future from what I read.

One thing I will say is that going in to this I thought I'll give it a go pre next-gen patch cause it's probably the sort of game with a variety of paths, different outcomes etc...

 

I'm now regretting that decision. Unless I'm surprised later on, it seems there's very little variation and I am pretty sure a second play through with a next gen patch isn't going to hold my attention past the prologue.

There could even be guns fired..! But, I want the results of shooting that gun to be based on how I've created my character and what's he's done up until that point,  rather than I want shootyslashylooty.

Finished act 1 a while ago, been doing side quests, although just started back on the main quest line again.

 

Still loving it, and whilst a lot of the side quests aren't the most detailed, I do appreciate how much freedom you're given to tackle each one.
