and the internet toddlers still wanting to add more of the same notoriety with a dead meme until R* has had enough by sending real hitmen to kill everyone that's being childishly impatient over GTA...when was the last time this happened to GTA in its history before this?
I'm curious to see how the couple aspect will be used like will we get something like the honor system in the RDR games but it's for something like Loyalty instead? Like can you make the relationship better or worse? Can you cheat on each other? Can you choice to trust someone on a task? That kinda thing. There aren't many open world games I can think of where you play as a couple as the premise. We've had open world crime games where you can romance other people like Cyberpunk 2077 but they're entirely optional and they don't really work with you outside of specific quests so Rockstar has the potential to do something pretty unique here
Ive never cared about GTA, the only one I've played for a few minutes was GTA2 before GTA 3 even came out, lol (all I remember is burping and farting :/). But are they bringing back Hot Coffee or what? Intentionally this time? XD
I'm going to laugh til it hurts if Sony announces the next Horizon to come out in 2026. The first one came out around the same time as Breath Of The Wild, the second one came out around the same time as Elden Ring and if the next one comes out the same time as Grand Theft Auto 6, that would be too perfect

Yup, seems very likely considering their most recent games.
You know, despite all the SJWs and feminists complaining about this type of stuff, I do think times have changed and these sexual scenes are way more accepted than in 2004. We're definitely gonna get 4k photorealistic nudity and sex scenes.
I feel like when it comes to sexuality in media, there's two issues/weird developments.
The first one is that some media landscapes feel like they completely have no sexuality while others have way too much to the point they border on soft-core pornography. For the former, a good bit, NOT ALL, but still a good bit of modern Western AAA video games are wary to have their characters wear not necessarily "sexy" clothing but sexually dimorphic clothing such as dresses or something that shows off a bit of skin. Combine this with the obsession of always dressing characters in bland "realistic" clothing, a lot of modern Western AAA characters look uninteresting visually, especially female characters. Sexuality can be used be used to make a character design be unique and stand out.
On the other hand, the music industry and their music videos are utterly obsessed with sex. Every single action, dance routine, skit, and of course the very lyrics themselves have to be about sex to the point it often comes off as beyond parody. It's especially strange for female singers doing this. I get that modern feminism movements generally hinge on sex positivity, but a lot of the stuff these female singers be doing make me scratch my head, and it seems like they looped right back to sexism. It also made me understand why the ancient Romans saw actors and performers as being on the same level as prostitutes, lol. Finally, all the sex stuff often comes off as pretentious.
The other problem is that media that does have a lot of sexuality in it tend to not really explore it in deeper or more interesting ways. It's usually just "boy, does that girl have big breasts/a big ass!" or "man, that dude's dick is huge!" and other stuff and mainly only explore sexuality through fanservice or fanservice humor.
I know this is rich saying this on a porn site of all places, but that's the way I see it for non-pornographic media.
The west definitely have weird double standards when it comes to sex. TCOAAL is a good example of this, a game involving child murder, cannablism and satanic rituals are just fine but consensual incest is the freaky part for some reason
Music in general can get away with alot more than most other media can cause it's purely audio and "song's so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics". A good example of this was the famous 1950s cover of Mac Tonight which is a song about a serial killer and keep in mind this was back in the 50s were you weren't even allowed to show a toilet on screen
