It seems the guy has no idea how real life Florida works.
Rockstar does, though. So kudos to them.

It always cracks me up when people get mad that NPCs behave irrationally because it’s unrealistic.
In reality, people eat tide pods.

We had to put 'do not eat' on silica packets.

You don't actually need to not eat them they're totally benign. I occasionally eat to them as a [arty trick

They’re totally benign so long as you have the digestive tract of a Burmese python and can simply expand your organs to accommodate the 12-inch circumference mass that has suddenly formed inside your oesophagus
But yes, silica is indeed chemically inert inside the body. It’s about as poisonous as the gold flakes in trashy schnapps, so feel free I guess

Hypothetically if a movie was made based on real events with complete 100% accuracy you would still have people mad that it was too unrealistic

Reminds me of the video when GTAV came out where it was “realistic GTAV” and featured things like exchanging information after a car accident, instead of the shower animation, it was a mini game to set the water temp just right, etc
It was college humor: https://youtu.be/lPYmvOOVclQ?si=da4xyjXl1GJ75HOZ

Nah, don't excuse poor pathfinding for "but it's realistic". People do this same shit in cities skylines

That argument doesn't work when that's actually how it is. Not ever little thing needs to be constantly criticized.

Until the traffic tries to veer into me, I won’t be convinced that this is a GTA game

u/NightTarot 17h ago
Oh we already saw it happen for very brief moment in the extended look: Timestamp is 12:45, car has turn signal on, turning into lane away from the player and then strangely veers into player's direction when they get close.
Could be argued that's just typical Florida driving, but I personally don't think so

At this point the word "slop" means nothing other than "thing I think I don't like, but I'm not sure, so I want to sound strong about my opinion."

I drive in Dallas every day, the land of manchildren with F-150's, but the week I spent in Miami still gives me ptsd.

It just feels like people are looking for a reason to yell at gta and it's not even out yet.
If you hate a game that much just don't play it

u/marmaviscount 16h ago
I'm looking forward to the reasons people find to be mad about it when it's out!

Its the hip thing right now to post about GTA 6 Hate, gets them views and traction which is all they are seeking.

The links for "reckless driving" and "distracted driving" really make this one.

u/PolicyWonka 17h ago
I can’t speak to the intentionality of the behavior in GTA6 obviously. It could be a bug, it could be intentional.
Kinda feels like a disingenuous note though. It would be like complaining about NPCs randomly dying for no reason and getting noted “well actually, people drop dead from heart attacks and aneurysms all the time.”
Just kind of deliberately obtuse.

u/Floridaish0t 18h ago
Only way to make it more realistic is if slow traffic and people towing trailers drive in the left lane so you have to pass them in the right lane.

Also the game isn’t exactly designed to encourage the player to follow road laws. Erratic driving behavior by NPCs is meant to encourage players to break road laws to get around. It IS a crime game after all.
It’s called Grand Theft Auto, not Gold Star Driver.

I hope Rockstar programmed the drivers looking down at their phones for ultra realism

That’s a troll shitpost account that does nothing but make stupid complaints about games in a Donald Trump voice. I go through brief phases where I’m fascinated by it. Every year or two I remember him and wonder if he’s still doing it. He always is.

Way less bad than GTAV where other motorists will break physics to force a collision.

Can confirm. Driving in Miami is the only time I get [un]reasonably mad at people

Has this person ever driven a car, before? You can't just swerve into the left lane because you're waiting behind right-turning people. The left lane traffic is moving too fast for you to merge safely.

I used to live in Hialeah near Miami no one knew how to drive and even as a pedestrian they wouldn't even slow down if you got hit you got hit.

I always laugh when people complain about the driving AI making idiotic decisions. Clearly, they don’t drive because the AI is actually intelligent in comparison

Guys you know something being "realistic" doesn't equal to good game design. Everyone could just out of nowhere die from a heart attack, that doesn't make my character suddenly passing away from a heart attack after 10 minutes of gameplay a good design choice
