Satire is entertainment, sure, but the whole point of it is that it is not mindless, or "just entertainment". It is trying to tell us something.
That's pretty harsh to say that the Eurogamer column is "complete garbage", all the guy is saying is that GTA isn't all that great as a satire, he's...
It would probably work really well with the regular view. Super Stardust HD on PS3 which also had the same "centered on planet" view was one of the...
This, and the fact that he is working on it alone (AFAIK) is really quite worrisome. For the most part, creatives really need some kind of pressure...
Yeah.. but I want a better GTA. :)
Glad to hear.. I think GTA has great potential when it comes to video game story telling, or world building which is more what games are all about in...

It is a common misconception that entertainment exists in a vacuum and that "it's just a video game/movie" with no wider cultural context.
What do you mean by "just" my opinion? That sounds pretty dismissive as well. Please explain where is the satire of there being prostitutes or...
Had they made someone like that one of the actual main playable characters, that would've been actually pretty funny. That is what people use to...
Yeah.. actually a South Park themed GTA could be pretty fun. I like to think of GTA as a satire of video games. Stuff like GamerGate is free...
Why.. weren't you the one who argued in the other thread that GTA is satire (and hence anything goes)? Well, satire is supposed to make people think...
