Be honest /v/, how hype are you?
>>721350925>that fucking video editingzoomers need to be culled
great people dont waste time on something as worthless as video games so trevor is right about that
>>721350925>prideful, chest-out millionaires look down on the hoi polloi for being uneducated dregs He may as well have dusted off his shirt, turned his neck up in a huff and walked away with his jewelled caneDoes he have a valid point to make in there somewhere? Of course. Is he too much of a narcissistic jackass Actor Man to ever reach people's hearts? Most certainlyBoth of them
I hate reading old books, couldn't get a chapter into crime and punishment.yet I read fantasy and scifi since I was a kid. and game.
>reading what other people wrote>"I'm so fucking smart, bro"Fucking kek how did this become like a popular believe?
>>721351040>Majority of film actors/directors don't watch their own movies>Majority of video game execs don't play the game they publish>Majority of music labels don't listen to what they publishMakes sense why all media has been suffering over the past two decades?
>>721350925based dostoevskij enjoyer
>>721351228books and in general writing helps you expand your own knowledge base and see things in many different perspectives, but the same can be said for single player video games, so I'm not sure why people think of games as something less than reading a book
I'll buy the game but I'm not looking forward to this board being absolutely ruined on release
>>721350925GTA 5 isn't even a good game lol. Imagine the people who think that's one of the must play masterpieces. Embarassing
>>721350925>>721351187He seethes at the fact that Trevor is his most iconic role. Even in other unrelated roles his """acting""" isn't even that different. He lacks range.
>>721350925What is the opposite to hyped, repelled?That is what pretty much all that i've seen about GTA6 did
Dostoevsky is the most basic bitch "intellectual" literature there is. Literally the same as Christopher Nolan is for movies.
he does have a strong point
To be fair, Crime and Punishment is a really good book. Maybe fat nerds should consider edumacating themselves.
>>721351714t. tolstoy
>>721350925I don't get hyped for video games anymore, been burned too many times
>>721350925So he was Quentin all along??
>>721351714It’s an easy way to signal that you’re well-read and that you appreciate classic literature. Everyone who has any interest in basic bitch intellectual literature has read Dostoyevsky.
>>721351228literature isn't about getting smarter you complete retardbut yes that's how you learn something others worked on, by reading
>>721351256>actors/directors<execs/labelsThese are not the same.
>>721350925Quentin hit the wall pretty damn hard...
>>721350925not at all. the gta games turned to shit after san andreas.
If Trevor's VA hates doesn't care about GTA at all, why the fuck is he at an event for it?
>>721350925If the never ending anal pain this man feels over being typecast as Trevor could be harnessed, the world's energy needs would be supplied for centuries.
>>721352173He gets money and he gets to act superior.
>>721352173money
>>721352385>>721352386I guess those are pretty good reasons
>>721351471That's because most videogame narratives are seen as immature. That's the impression I get from the OP webm
Why does this guy seethe so much about GTA? It's the role that 99.9% of the people who recognize him knows him from. The only thing I can remember him being in is a bit part in Better Call Saul when the "have you noticed gum has gotten mintier lately" guy hires Mike.
>>721352540Probably because gaming in general appeals to the lowest common denominator, and when someone decides to check out what the fuss is about for themselves and ends up playing a game like Death Stranding, it’s pretty hard to convince them otherwise.
I started Crime and Punishment but dropped it. I mean it's clear where it's going. He starts to unravel and you start to wonder if he can hold it together and get away with it, but I couldn't really bring myself to care whether he does or not, I suppose.
>>721352672Alec Guinness was know for despising Star Wars
>>721350925Who the fuck has not heard about Crime and Punishment? Even if you haven't read it, you should at least know about it if you're over the age of 18.
>>721350925Who's the obnoxious nigger?
>>721352862No he fucking didn't, just because he made one autistic kid who watched it over and over again doesn't mean he hated it
>>721352970mumbo jumbo, was the term he liked to use as I recall?
>>721352672being a one hit wonder aint good
>>721352797Be a man and take responsibility, anon.
>>721352970>Alec Guinness largely disliked Star Wars, viewing the dialogue as "lamentable" and the film as "fairy tale rubbish". He accepted the role for the money and thought the script was good enough to keep him reading, but he found the experience and fame associated with the blockbuster unfulfilling and even "displeasing". His disdain for the franchise was evident in his refusal to appear in The Phantom Menace and his comment to a young fan to never watch the movie again.
buy an ad
>>721353185What the fuck is a fucking man?
>>721353346A thing that takes responsibility
>>721353201based
>>721353201None of this warrants using a word as strong as "despise">his comment to a young fan to never watch the movie againYou should look up what he specifically said about that, he thought the kid's obsession was bordering madness, which it was. Watching any movie multiple times back to back is madness, clear autism right there, but this was back in the days where it wasn't well understood.Star Wars wasn't high theatre, it wasn't intended to be, but it was what he would be best known for from then on. That's what he was digging at.
>>721351976>any interest in basic bitch intellectual literatureI have none and i still read most of his known stuff.
>>721353346A fucking miserable pile of fucking secrets
>>721353489He's just low IQ, kid might have been terrible parents so the movie worked as an escape
>>721350925uwu he's so smart, makes my fempenis moist :3
>>721353179Better than a literal who, which is what the vast majority of retards in Hollywood are.
>>721353657Single mother it seems, if he was going to the movies to watch the fucking thing back to back, she was the one paying for it.
>>721353185Reading a book isn't a responsibility, cut the crap.
>>721351187I mean the second you start exploring other hobbies outside video games you realize that playing games is legit the lowest form of consumption. I love vidya but if you play this shit regularly you're probably at least a little bit retarded
>Nimoys book title: I AM NOT SPOCK!Common theme with actors who got role-pegged.Especially with actual theater actors like they both were, who valued that sort of acting far more than what they did think of as the equivalent of being associated with MLP shit for the rest of their life.
>>721352173pretty much what the others have said, cold hard cash, his other career work has dried up severely so his only remaining residuals is from gta lmao
>>721350925this mentality is kinda weird. doesn't he care if the product he starred in is good or not?
>>721350925Who the fuck doesn't know Dostoecsky?
>>721350925Insecurity is needing to compare something you like to something you don't like (or are even ambivalent towards) for it to be valid that you like it. Nobody's gonna wanna read a book cuz some uncurious wet blanket invoked it to illustrate how uninterested he is in the thing I'm into
>Dostoevskyholy cringe
>>721352672Actors tend to have massive egos, so when they get these MASSIVE character roles that practically defines them to the general population to the point its a part of culture, they seethe. They see themselves as this multi-talented actor that has range but when 99% of the people who recognize you only know the stupid video game shit their ego gets crushed. Some realize how fucking insane it is to be apart of peoples headspace like that and get humbled, some just stay forever mad. Ego is a bitch, plus its probably annoying to be typecast as the wacky crazy guy every single calling. But fuck is he ever good at it
>>721353761Think it's the association itself or the kind of fan that association attracts? Probably a bit of both.
fucking hate self-entitled actors like thiseven if I was known for only one role and was bitter about the fact, I'd still be grateful that it happened and gave me some fucking fame and money and wouldn't make it everybody else's problem, especially the fans who supported me
do you think his hairline is the reason he wasn't able to get a legit hollywood career?
>>721354041based cat
>>721354251Nah, there's a role for that kind of look, ironically it's usually for crackheads exactly like Trevor
>>721353874me
>>721350925honestly?
>>721352672>Why does this guy seethe so much about GTA? It's the role that 99.9% of the people who recognize him knows him fromSeems like you answered yourself.
>>721354343lookat dis dude
>>721354149Bit of both, I'd guess. Nimoy wrote tons of books, was a prolific photographer, highly acclaimed theater actor... and probably never manage a week without some neckbeard walking up and saying "live long &prosper" since the 1970sshit gotta be annoying
for one second in ur life put urself in the shoes of someone else.imagine random unwashed nerds calling ur name and making "jokes" about one character you played. once. twice. 10 times. 1000 times. over and over and over. yeah id get pissed too.fanboys are fucking aids
>>721352672Because retard normies have made it his fucking life for the last decade, the same way Isiah Whitlock had dumbasses saying "sheeeeeiit" at him constantly in public after The Wire. Steven Ogg literally has people asking him to scream "FUCK YOU" at them or in some cases their fucking kids, I'd be tired of it too.
>>721353427Subtle way to call women irresponsible.
>>721353750This. Actual high IQ intellectuals spend their free time on /v/ instead of playing vidya
>>721354507Sounds like a skill issue on your part because you failed to land other major roles besides that one.
>>721353750I consider tv series (web series nowadays) a lower form of consumption to be quite honest.
>>721350925I waited for starcraft ghost the day it was annoincedso i know better to be anticipated for anythingleast of which GTA
>>721354507idk that sounds like it'd be pretty endearing
>>721350925If this guy is so pissed with Trevor being his only recognized role maybe he should try to get a role that doesn’t have him as a crazed criminal
>>721354807Too late, Trevor got him typecast, his career is over
>>721353201>viewing the dialogue as "lamentable" and the film as "fairy tale rubbish".he aint wrong
>>721354507Maybe, but I'm exceptionally tall which means I get the same handful of questions and jokes at least once a day. I was still a teenager when I figured out that this will keep happening, and the only thing I can control is my response. I use it like a free icebreaker now, have a few canned responses ready, and I get a lot of free chances to talk to people which I mind less in my old age. You don't HAVE to be a bitter fuck about it.
>>721351714you genuinely deserve death and I'm not exaggerating
>>721350925I don't really care, GTA V is still recent to my boomer brain. Actors having ego is funny though because they are basically dancing monkeys
>>721351010As a zoomer... too true man
>>721354649Around the same at best, the interactivity of games is grossly overblown and the storytelling in most games is just flat out not good. TV has its own faults because you can have good shit for years and then immediately kill all cultural relevance in the last minute like GoT
Mike, it's me! GTA Trevor! Trevor from GTA! Remember that game? How wild is that, Mike?!
>>721351714no clue who these 2 arei usually dont associate movies with their directorweebs do that too where they can tell you who the animation studio and producer for the shows are without looking it up
>>721352672Because actors are faggots>ABLOO ABLOO I GET FAME AND MONEY FOR PLAYING A CHARACTER I WILLINGLY SIGNED UP TO PLAY ABLOO ABLOO
>>721350925Why can't he just surf on his status as a GTA protag like the other two dudes?
i'm excited to hear the pricewill it be $100 like everyone expector will they do $50 for fun and just to see the entire industry implode?
>being hyped about GTANo thanks, I have taste. Would rather replay Sleeping Dogs, Mad Max or The Saboteur.
>>721350925>Doesnt want people to attach him to Trevor>Literally goes on schizo Trevor tier rant whenever some zoomer talks to him about itHe’s definitely not helping his case
>>721352672It's probably because he was hired to do voice lines for an obscure indie game and when it came out it turns out that he did voice lines for fucking GTA which made billions of dollars and he got paid nothing. Rockstar has been known to do this to all their voice actors, including Ray Liotta for GTA Vice City.
>>721354507>AAAHHHH MY FANS OCCASIONALLY APPROACH ME BECAUSE THEY LIKED MY ROLE!! THE HORROR!!You don't work on an oil rig bitch, you get paid to play pretend. Suck it up and be grateful
>>721353750Only if you play shit games. Being able to recreate an entire virtual world that you can interact with has the highest potential ceiling of any media out there. I mean I love reading, but overthinking will lead you nowhere. It's best to experience things for yourself, and where it's impossible in real life, vidya makes it possible.
>>721355573Yes, we know that autists struggle to relate to others.
>>721353750what are these hobbies? every time someone mentions "hobbies" it's some gay shit they force themselves to do because it's healthy. you are likely a niggercattle.
>>721355039The part that embitters is probably when your height is also the one and only thing next to everyone will ever reduce you to or want to hire you for, and the same people who do that will get pissy whenever they notice you aren't too happy about that and start thinking you arrogant or ungrateful for it?
>>721355429If it's a glorified GTA Online launcher, it will almost certainly be 50-60 bucks. Just to get it into as many single mother households as possible before the shark cards go live.
>>721353750>Nooooooo video games suck get better hobbies!Why is /v/ the only board like this?
>>721354507I'm not bitter so that sounds awesome, actually. I'd probably play the game just so I can have something to discuss with fans.
>>721355907Because they don’t play video games
Don't care, the last GTA I played was San Andreas and that's it.
>>721350925>bragging about reading fictionslop
>>721355691>NOOO YOU DON'T GET IT, THE POOR MILLIONAIRE LINE READER!When you have a public meltdown and cry while having the cushiest job imagineable, you can expect to get ridiculed by people who do actual work everyday
>>721352173To talk about Russian literature.
>>721351714All Russian 'literature' is a meme
>Trevor faggot>'god I hate video games don't talk to me about GTA read a fucking book like an INTELLECTUAL'even if you don't like vidya or care about the role people really liked you in, you don't have to be such a faggot about it, like charlie cox for example>guy who voiced gustave>'oh I don't play computer games but everyone says I did really good in that voice acting role I did that one day, I should check it out lol'
>>721351714>the anon wishing death upon you because you don't like his bookslmaaaooooo
>>721356141HE HAD TO READ A SCRIPT OUT LOUD WITHOUT SNIGGERING! NOW SHOW HIM THE RESPECT AND RECOGNITION THAT HE'S OWED!
>>721356321>t. januszc pidorewski
>>721351714I once met a woman lecturer who thought the same thing>once met a professor with a huge book collection, asked her who's her favourite author, she felt basic for saying Dostoyevsky, admired the professor for being well-read when he said that his favourite author is kurt vonnegutCame so close to saying [bitch...] out loud. What's wrong with liking popular authors, games, movies when they truly are that good? You don't feel sophisticated enough? Also games will always be shittier than literature, gamedev crunch, the game being a product that needs to sell and not offend too many sensibilities and interactivity always make sure of that. Look at some random popular shit like The Witcher 3 - the antagonists absolutely suck in this game and the final act turns into stereotypical movie-game garbage, which they had to fix in the dlcs. TW2 is good but it's still on the level of good popular fantasy. Disco Elysium comes close but a) it's a visual novel in drag so not a "normal" game and b) it's still on the level of a funny pynchon-like book.
>>721350925Crime and Punishment is high school literature class slop. It's not even that good of a book. Fuck Raskolnikov, whiny cunt
>>721351040Steven Ogg isn't great people, he's a never-been actor and a D list celebrity only because of GTA V.
>>721354149It's probably because they become unable to advance their careers. Like how Daniel Radcliffe will always be recognized for Harry Potter.
>>721354041why do cats act like this?
Reminds me of what happened with Jamie Lee Curtis, she made fame and buck with the Halloween movies and then she decided to fuck off to do other movies because she was "too good" for cheap horror movies.
>>721356776And now modern generations know her more for selling poop yogurt than anything. Was it worth it?
>>721356776Well, that actually worked out for her unlike Steve Ogg who only gets minor roles as a crazy criminal
>>721356842>selling poop yogurtqrd?
>>7213509250
>>721356674they sense soi and thot behavior and act accordingly
>>721356842She don't look indian

>>721356593What's the best book you've read?
>>721353750stop playing braindead AAA slop
>>721357084The Bible
>>721351976It's literally>wow bro have you heard of Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Krylov, Gogol and Tolstoy???>I'm so smart btwlike nigga kill yourself, I read it in a fucking school, doesn't mean my 14 yo ass was smarter than any mutt back then
>>721357119I asked about a book, not about your favourite collection of books
>>721352672because it's the only thing he is known for and he considers lesser entertainment for lesser people and like-minded intellectuals don't recognize his talent and it makes him seethe.
>>721357135You overestimate the sophistication and intellectual capacity of an average mutt.
what is it about Dostoyevsky that make so many people seethe?
>>721355871I think a healthy attitude around how other people apply value to you helps. The Market© has a very narrow view of people's worth so you gotta basically disregard it as irrelevant to your real self worth. Now if some trait you have keeps you from being able to work so you can feed and house yourself, that's fucked up on the other hand.
>>721351256You don't need to watch or play the specific work you've contributed in making unless you're a dev doing post-launch support a game. You do need to regularly engage with the medium as a whole.
>>721351187You read Dostoevsky in high school. It's part of the curriculum.So no, i wouldn't call it prideful; It's a fucking requirement here.
I don't know why anyone would care about Rockstar besides browns, well, not all browns since I don't care. Kikestar has been on an anti white woke roll since forever and the writing in RDR2 did not at all help their case. They hate white fags and will continue writing girl boss nigger characters forever. I'm not interested
>>721350925Based Dostoyesky enjoyer. I've meet a couple of fans in my college and we all get along so well. Brothers Karamozov is still his best work though
>be honestThere is absolutely nothing about GTA that is appealing to me. Once you have played the game for 5 minutes, you have mastered everything the game has to offer. Then its just repeating the same shit over and over and over and over again. There's no level design, the weapons are boring, the story is shitter than movies, the characters are annoying (americans are annoying). GTA is a cattle game
>>721357636As someone who's read him, he has his strengths and it's interesting in a certain way, but I don't blame anyone for not being interested and people invoke his name as a bog standard "I read high brow stuff" virtue signal. Like get over yourself I read Karamazov a decade ago and didn't become some killjoy that couldn't also enjoy a bit of bing bing wahooo
>>721350925>did you play any games>FUCK VIDEO GAMES REEEEEEEEE>but you played games like soccer or football as a kid>THATS FUCKING DIFFERENT>no it isn't you dumb cunt LMAO OWNEDkek
>>721351010The ones I can't stand are where they do some retarded reaction at the end of the vid, like it adds value to the funny or offensive vid we just watched.
>GTA is a poor people gamedo you agree with this statement? why?
>>721357986Quintessential midwit post
>>721358160Yes, your post is, I agree.
>>721355830there is no other hobbies for them outside of drinking at pubs, doing some slight reading after work and going to bed before work tomorrow
>>721358160Cope and seethe
>>721357965Ugh Tak
>>721355315depends on what you are playing, i like immersive games where the interactivity of the medium gives you a unique experience to things like movies and books. Also puzzle games.Though I still think books/oral storytelling are the best way to "experience" a story as you can use your imagination better, which allows you to fully imagine the experience in a way that is almost similar to a real experience. But the interactive medium has barely been explored because it was immediately corporatized, so theres so much left. Too bad VR flopped it had a real chance to provide even more immersion.
>>721357992>people invoke his name as a bog standard "I read high brow stuff" virtue signalmaybe they genuinely want to share their love for a good author?
>didn't even go to collegeIf he's going to play the "only retards play video games" Quentin card, people should remind him that he doesn't have any postsecondary education, therefore anyone who does is automatically smarter than he is.
>>721356042only good post in this garbage thread
I hate being associated with bookfags so much. I read books at work regularly and I do enjoy it and find it to be a fun and constructive experience, but you fucking faggots sound like unironic Rick and Morty fans. >DUDE I read BOOKS, that makes me better than anybody else If you’re so open minded, you should understand that there’s more to life and creative self expression than books. Criticizing other people’s hobbies is the most close minded behavior you can have. Broaden your horizons, for fuck’s sakes
>>721358396Maybe but if that were my goal I wouldn't go about it like OPs video
>>721358452>retard confuse education and intelligence many such cases, sad
>>721352937Franklin.
>>721358125>why?Console
>>721352173Because he’s poor
>>721358552whether you want to admit it or not, reading books is an indicator of how you spend your time and what type of person you are.I think you're the one being closed minded in this case
I've never played any GTA aside from China Town Wars on NDS. I don't give a shit about GTABased voice actor
>>721353750You wouldn’t be posting on /v/ if you weren’t retarded yourself. I highly doubt you were called from your high society book club by your butler to post on this thread
>>721357853We read other books. It's a requirement here too, but not that book in particular. At least not in my school.>>721350925I don't really get why he's catching shit for this? He didn't say "go read a book faggot!", he just said he's not a gamer and made an analogy to a medium that most gamers don't connect with much.Anyway, go read a book faggots.
The way /v/ described this before I saw the webm was so much more disingenuous than it turned out to be, I thought he just brought up the book thing out of nowhere, and even then I defended it because who the fuck cares, nobody actually respects videogames, not even gamers, its a grown up toy.But it just seems he brought up the book to explain to a retard that couldnt imagine why somebody wouldnt play a GTA game, let alone one of the GTA5 actor dudes or whatever
I was a reader for a while and eventually started reading VNs. I really enjoyed The House in Fata morgana, Umineko, Higurashi, and clannad. Fate Stay and little busters was eh....
>>721358207Any basic hobby is better than slouching over your pc, playing slop with shit story like rdr2, immersing yourself in your cowpoke simulator and going>vgh, if only i was born two hvndred years ago...And plenty of games last for 50-100 hours these days, imagine how many other interesting things you could be doing in that time.Gayming is fun as hell but it's the mental equivalent of fast food. I have waaaaay more respect for faggots going to pottery classes than for faggots who call themselves gamers with pride.>>721358025You socialize, you see people face to face and work out at the same time. Nice try.
>>721351190Based. All that garbage I had to read in school added nothing to my life. I get so much more enjoyment out of science fiction and fantasy. No wonder kids today don't read. When you shovel garbage like House on Mango Street and Middlemarch down their throats, they're going to reject it, with good reason.
>>721350925>NOOOO WHY DONT YOU LIKE IT! >YOU CAN KILL A WHOLE BUNCH OF COPS!>AND YOU CAN DO A SCHOOL SHOOTING OMGG! ITS PEAK BRO!>ITS THE BEST GAME EVER!!! WOAH! IM SO RICH IN GTA>PLAY IT OR ILL SCREAM!
>>721353657>he's low IQ>he's not smart enough to invent a scenario where this could possibly be justified and assume it to be true, like me
I've only read like 5 books in my entire life
>>721351714It's a fucking slog to read through and the only people I know finished it were the generations before me (because they had to in school or uni) or are actually bookworms. Comparing Dostroevsky with the front page of Netflix recommendations is not exactly it. Now, Citizen Kane on the other hand...
>>721358929>Any basic hobby is betterno
Just because it's old doesn't mean it's intelligent
>>721358552I lost interest in reading books and watching movies for a good while because I felt like I would only be able to talk about it to a bunch of fart sniffers. I always felt like it was easier to talk about games in a more casual environment even on here. Granted I’m starting to get into watching older movies again even if I have no one to talk to about it
can someone recommend me some scifi books
>>721359092FudgeSuper FudgeCaptain UnderpantsJunie b. jonesmein kampf :)
>>721350925Very.
>>721355429>every single person wearing shoes regardless of what they're doing>no swimwear, just shorts and topsyeah yeah no niggers is all well and fine but this can't seriously be the cherry-picked counter example of how it should be, right?
>>721350925ZeroI think the GTA 5 campaign wasnt fun or kept me hooked and the online was fun for a few days because it was new.Then I realized the mission rewards are intentionally made super shit so you farm forever or buy a shark card.I think they made an unholy amount of money with shark cards and they are the primary reason GTA 6 still isn't out and why it will cost 80$ and not more.Which is the only positive thing I'll get out of GTA 6 - the gaming industry and especially the journos will be seething but they still need to give it a 10/10.
>>721359271dune, ringworld, star wars rouge one and revenge of the sith, old man's war, blindsight, the expanse series

>>721359220That book in particular is pretty intelligent, though. Brings up some interesting points about whether or not anyone has the right to be a vigilante. The way I see it, using the book as a way to signal yourself as "smart" is pretty fucking worthless if the point of it went over your head. The point of reading these things is to gain a deeper perspective of the human experience, not to go around jerking yourself off for being "smart" kek

>>721350925I find it so interesting that these popular video game franchises have all conveniently reached the number 6.>GTA>Far Cry>Elder Scrolls>DOOM>Battlefield>Persona>COD Black Ops>Hitman>MGS>Armored Core>Super Smash BrosPlus GTA 6 delayed to May 26th 2026.>666All announcing the mark of the beast.Revelation 13:17-18 KJVAnd that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.Here is wisdom.

>>721359271Genuinely amazing book. And it's pretty short, too. Kinda wish it was longer.
>>721354368>majority>isn't the majority by far
it's pretty meaningless to bring up Dostoevsky out of nowhere but the interviewer should probably know who Dostoevsky is at the same time
>>721359816>/x/ + /pol/ >comes to /v/ because he's been laughed off of his other favorite boardsAlms for the poor?
>>721359816Far Cry is well past its sixth iteration, as is Battlefield, we're up to Black Ops 7. You're seeing what you want to see, dumbfuck christians keep assuming all the signs will happen out of order because they've literally never happened in order.
I stopped playing GTA after going through 1, 2, 3, Vice City, San Andreas, and 4. You fags ought to pick up dostoevskij or try running for two hours straight, both of which are much better endevnours to pick up than GTA.
>>721359627Mountain hiking, cooking, reading books, watching movies. Also lots of other things when I have the time for them - taking part in running competitions (casual ones), bowling, friend took me out for painting classes once, was pretty fun. I like vidya but there's like one or two games every 3 years that I will really want to play, the rest while probably still good is not worth the time investment.
>>721351714Based.

>>721350925I see he's still butthurt that they didn't want to include Trevor in GTA6 lmao
>>721360107The best part is where he has to flip the 9 upside down lmao.
>>7213509250%, I tried to get into GTA, but it never clicked for me.
>>721350925Literally couldn't care less. The last GTA game I cared about was Liberty City Stories, and that's only because I needed it to hack my PSP.
>>721360107We are still at six on all those games as I recall. Just because 7 is announced doesn't change a thing. The point is apparent "independent" studios have all conveniently reached it.
>>721359816GTA VC and San Andreas are mainline entries even if they are calling the latest GTA6. MG1 and MG2 cannot be separated from MGS, and Peace Walker shouldn't either. Hitman is like 8 games even though they tried to re-market Hitman 2016, HItman 2, and Hitman 3 into a singular package.Also your posts ends in a 6 so...

>>721359757I don't really need a book to understand why being a vigilante would be a very intricate path. You could just watch Dexter lmao, no, I'm not saying the book is bad, I just don't think it's a musthave even if it brings up an interesting view of it, so I agree with you on signaling.

I used to think that videogames would evolve to have engrossing, masterful storylines that would rival the likes of the past classics of literature and film. Now I don't. Vidya games seem to go the route of taking on the role of badass guy/woman/creature unstoppable slaughter machines. 95% of games revolve around defeating enemies, having a villain at the core to defeat. Standard cookie cutter dynamics of story. There are some games that take risks and try to do something with story/gameplay that has never been done before but most games boil down to the same formualic patterns.The industry needs to evolve, devs need to step back and realize bolder decisions need to be made in terms of how these games are written, but they seem content to chase the same highs that just about every single video game has been designed around for the past 20-30 years. I don't blame this guy for not giving a fuck about videogames. It's like devs only inspirations are high spectacle 80s and 90s action movies. Sure, that suits gameplay but it does fuck all for emotional response besides some adrenaline and excitement here and there.As someone who's been in the hobby since 1994, it astounds me that the large majority of notable games revolve around slaughtering countless of thousands of enemy fodder. It's worn itself out so much.

>>721360467We are looking at the main entries, not spin offs.MGS is at 5 officially, next one is you guessed it.Hitman 2016 is the 6th game in the series, nuHitman 1, 2. 3 are the same game.>Also your posts ends in a 6 so...And yours ends in 7, interesting.

>>721361004There's no red dragon in the image you posted, that's a smiley face you drew in the sky, it doesn't have seven head, ten horns and seven crowns. You're ignoring the pertinent parts of the signs and focusing on the bits that fit, you're as bad as the jews thinking they have to force god's hand.
>>721361145Yeah, like the smiley thing happens every day.
>>721350925It's not that big a deal that he doesn't play video games. He's not the asshole everyone thinks he is. >>721351714It's the effort that counts and Nolan puts a lot of effort into the movies. I would rather watch a brainlet movie with practical effects than a well written one with retarded computer effects. You can't just ignore the visuals in a visual medium and jack the creators off because the story was so good. It's a move, not a book. And Nolan's movies look nice.
>>721361145You do know who the dragon represents in the Bible, right?
>>721361272Again, however, it is a smiley face and not a dragon, and Virgo is a constellation, and therefore incapable of being pregnant or crying out or giving birth. It's not the sign, keep looking.

>>721350925Whenever niggers flex over reading it's always basic bitch shit like that. I read, i don't need to brag over it, and i'd say vidya is a superior artform even if novels have better narratives gaming adds so much more than that

>>721361936Doubt it, Rockstar will not fuck up the online mode, not even a little bit. They don't care how much money they put into it because they know they'll make it all back on shark cards.
>>721362568I mean books should have better narratives than a game. If the book has a bad narrative than the book loses its main redeeming factor
you know ray liotta admitted he didn't play vice city either. you can't expect the actors to enjoy games just because they had major roles in them.also steven ogg's life seems like a gigantic humiliation ritual now. people now only recognize him from gtav well of course, because it's top ten one of the most massive things in media of all time.if he wanted to be taken seriously as an actor after that all he had to do was google "Michael Hollick gta IV pay" to find out that this role was seriously not going to be worth it just to be typecasted as trevor for the rest of his career. the people who played these games are your audience, dude
>read books and watch movies insteadThese things don't keep you occupied the same way vidya does. What the fuck do non-gamers do in their free time when they're not reading or watching something?

>>721363307>These things don't keep you occupied the same way vidya does.Let's agree to disagree.
>>721350925I play video games and I've read Dostoevsky.Very overrated author. Raskolnikov doesn't even get any cool abilities or anything like that.
>>721350925>hype>participating in emotional alchemyNo. No thank you.
>>721362824It will be a slightly prettier GTAO, but with the exact same broken, spaghetti code and dogshit grind-six-trillion-bucks-for-a-shitbox progression.
>>721351714I read through all the comments that came from this and there's no suggestion for a better author than Doestoevsky. The guy wrote timeless books about themes that everyone can relate to in an extremely accessible way. If we're going to confine ourselves to Russian lit, you've got very overwroght Tolstoy or pretentious Gogol or one-offs like Bulgakov (who you can't relate to without a deep understanding of contemporary life) or Nabakov (who is hated by both hebes and trads). It's not "intellectual" inasmuch as it's just "good". An actual intellectual choice would be Henry James or something. If you have no patience, try Notes From Underground.

I'm tired of faggots who only play video gamesI'm tired of faggots who only watch moviesI'm tired of faggots who only read booksWhy is it so rare for people to have an appreciation of all art forms? Like this retard is asking about Crime and Punishment, alright. But what if the interviewer had read that? Suddenly the old nigger is just being an asshole to be an asshole and has no point. GTA sucks anyways but that's besides the point.
>>721350925Damn, he's still seething
>>721365334>just being an asshole to be an asshole and has no point. that's exactly what he was doing. ogg is just an asshole to his fans. that's his thing and personality, he's not going to change. probably bitter resentment about not "making it" as a traditional actor.
>>721350925why is the zoomer face scrunched in like he's been pre-punched.
>>721350925>have you watched Pulp Fiction by Tarantino?>Yea, films are my thingThat's what he sounds like
>>721350925Anyone notice that this guy is doing an event with the two other GTAV actors. Is he a dumbass why is he surprised and snippy someone would ask him that question. Thats like getting mad at someone questioning your homosexuality after catching you on your knees in front of a glory hole
>>721359271The Three Body Problem trilogy and Xelee Sequence are good if you like world-building and sociological futurism akin to Foundations.>>721359836The mystery might've been lost if it was.On the same note, Annihilation is pretty good since it does two things most other books shy away from in that the protagonist is a bad person and it questions whether the majority of our 'concrete' scientific models are fundamentally flawed. You also see this towards the end of the Three Body Problem for different reasons.
>>721365735shows you where the fist goes
>>721356575>Came so close to saying [bitch...] out loud. What's wrong with liking popular authors, games, movies when they truly are that good? You don't feel sophisticated enough? Also games will always be shittier than literature, gamedev crunch, the game being a product that needs to sell and not offend too many sensibilities and interactivity always make sure of that. Look at some random popular shit like The Witcher 3 - the antagonists absolutely suck in this game and the final act turns into stereotypical movie-game garbage, which they had to fix in the dlcs. TW2 is good but it's still on the level of good popular fantasy. Disco Elysium comes close but a) it's a visual novel in drag so not a "normal" game and b) it's still on the level of a funny pynchon-like book.Retard most literature was also produced for the purpose of selling it to make money, while it suffers less due to usually being yoked to someone's singular vision it's still edited to be palatable to the masses. There are rare examples that are generally unliked, incomprehensible or have small followings that don't fall subject to that truth. The fact that you think DIsco Elyisum is anything but total dogshit really tells everyone that you need to rethink your life.
>>721365930ogg is an asshole, at this point it is clear he enjoys being an abrasive prick since it's far past the point of just being weird one offs. some people are just mean and you just have to smile and nod so you don't set them off like a bomb.
I honestly have trouble enjoying lit as a hobby. Almost every novel is full of filler and half the time the author cooks up a dogshit ending that makes the whole thing feel like a waste of my time. I don't understand how lit is supposed to be so superior. It seems just as full of shit as any other medium.
>>721366106Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer? You sound like you have good taste, anon-- I agree with you that the mystery would've been fucked if Roadside Picnic was any longer. But goddamn, the writing was so good. I'm not a huge sci-fi reader (or reader in general for that matter) but I'd gladly take any suggestions on books that scratch the same itch as Roadside Picnic.
>>721366153>The fact that you think DIsco Elyisum is anything but total dogshit really tells everyone that you need to rethink your life.Thanks for ousting yourself as a retard so I can ignore your posts from now on.

>>721366574>but I'd gladly take any suggestions on books that scratch the same itch as Roadside Picnic.Not a book, but Darker Than Black has a zone called "Hell's Gate" where stuff like that happens. Just don't watch the second season.It's anime, but the detail that really sells it for me is that When the "Gates" appeared all the stars changed, we lost contact with any satellites, and we lose contact with any probes sent to space.

Reading fictional books is low iq
I'm reading The Brothers Karamazov right now. I find the way it's written a bit odd with the way it feels like the author occasionally addresses either the reader or the narrative itself, like in the bit I read today there was a part where it said 'I have already mentioned at the outset of my narrative how Grigory hated Adelaida...' and it's done in a way that pulls me out of it a bit. I feel like I'm getting pulled aside, away from the story, so the author can mention something to me directly when stuff like that happens. It can also feel rambly, but something I do like about it is that it's good at getting you to empathize with the characters in it, like the whole situation with the Elder Zomisa and Alyosha's devotion to him could come across as this alien-feeling religious zealotry, but the novel is good at making you understand why people feel the way they do about something like this rather than just declaring it, and it makes the characters feel fuller because of it. I'm still early into it but I'm mostly enjoying it even if it's not blowing me away or anything.Anyway, Steven Ogg seems like a fag but GTA V is also kind of gay so maybe I'd be an annoying fag too if GTA fans were hassling me all the time. I don't feel he's really in a position to be so uppity though.
>>721372345Who said that I think I am? Don't be so insecure, lil' bro. Sad!
Cinema days and bookfags always seethe over games because video games is the vastly superior medium. You’d be surprised how many hate games because they physically can’t play them without throwing a babby tantrum because “controls too hard”.
>>721352862Not even close to comparable.
I like GTA games on paper but when I play them I get bored in 20 minutes.
>>721350925not at all so far because they refuse to talk about online while they keep showing off the dogshit tacked on singleplayer shit
>>721350925I read the news about it for nostalgic curiosity, but have no intention of buying it until it's been tested by you faggots.
>>721372552Lady Muarasaki does that pretty often in the Tale of Genji. I also found it to be a bit odd, if not anachronistic, but her writing style was supposedly pretty radical for the time, so it is what it is, I guess. I personally don't mind it very much and find that it can add a bit of levity to a book's content.
>>721372716>You’d be surprised how many hate games because they physically can’t play them without throwing a babby tantrum because “controls too hard”.There’s actually truth to this. Steven Ogg mentioned he grabbed the controller to try to play gta and he kept bumping into the wall and went into a rage.

>>721369896ray liotta didn't tell fans to go fuck themselves if they came up to him and asked for autographs ray liotta was already an established actor way before vice cityray liotta was also effortlessly cool unlike this miserable canadian
>>721352672Its blessing and a curseHe probably won't get better roles because of trevor and i think he can act Just like how people only remember vass actor for farcry untill better call saul where he get a bigger role
>>721376942>because of trevorwhy would trevor have any bearing on what he gets casted in? sounds like a shitty agent issue.
>>721376226He gets careermogged by Walton Goggins, that's why. They don't need two balding dudes.
What do you do after you watch a movie or play a game someone recommends you? What am I expected to do after someone watches or plays my recommendations? I am shit at social stuff so I say one or two things about "did u find out about xyz thing in the thing and did u like it" and then nothing ever after. I can't hold a conversation about anything I like with anyone
You're delusional if you think this game is not going to break the internet on launch.Thread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3Aay-47ZT0
>>721377713>What do you do after you watch a movie or play a game someone recommends you?say what parts u liked or didnt like and explain why and ask what they think>I can't hold a conversation about anything I like with anyoneif u like stuff there's reasons u like it, so talk about those
>>721353750talked like a true lowbrow retard
>>721376226He was in Breaking Bad?
>>721378875just one ep of Better Call Saul (the superior show)
>>721350925who the fuck doesn't know who dostoevsky is
>>721378975Oh, ok, never watched this one.Then why did you said Breaking Bad if it was in Better Call Saul?
>>721350925Stoked for it bit RE9 is coming out first.
>le too big too failwait & see
>>721379087i didn't
I have a strong feeling that story will be weak.
>>721379470gta5's story was panned for not being serious with too much focus on parody, this one is going to be a lot more serious. a proper drama. they saw how much people loved how dramatic rdr2 was and are going to repeat that.there is a bigger hunger for adult dramas now than gta5 and they would be retarded to make the game silly in that kind of environ
>>721350925HES SO MAD THEY DIDNT INCLUDE TREVOR BAHHAHAHAHA
>>721350925I didn't perform as any of the characters in Crime and Punishment unlike Mr. Ogg having played a character in GTA V. Though if I were to recommend him a game based on actual fun and not just because he's in it, I'd go with San Andreas instead.
I can only read like 2 pages at a time then it's over. For me to actually read and understand an entire book would take like 2 years minimum.
>>721359816>Honourable mention:>>Resident Evil 9 (upside down 6)i dont even know how you can keep a straight face when you reach this part
>>721350925I hope it's good.
>>721379660quite the opposite actually. the actor is actually REALLY pissed off he is associated with trevor for the past 10 years. he's pretty much perma type casted for the rest of his life like jim from the office, or michael cera. he has been seething on social media for the past decade man. probably sucks to just go shopping at the store and have ten people call you trevor.
>never played gtagiga based
>hat man just walks up, tells them to shut the fuck up>they just ignore himgenuinely confusing social ineraction
>>721359816Jesus (Jew Zeus) is an idol
>>721353750Kill yourself. Video games are a rich artistic medium.
>my medium is better than your medium>the way I past my time is better than the way you past your timeWhy do people care so much? Is it insecurity? Like they read books and they just have to let other people know they read books because they want that "image"?I've noticed book readers are usually the ones trying to place their hobbies above others, next to musicfags.I like video games. I like books. I like some TV shows and anime. I like some movies. I like some outdoor stuff. I like studying religious history. And on and on it goes.It's all the same crap. A way to get dopamine hits to pass the time.If you can honestly play video games 16 hours a day every day. More power to you. I can't. Doesn't matter.
>>721360159>watching moviesHow is that a hobby?>cookingEveryone does that every day lol
>>721382046>I've noticed book readers are usually the ones trying to place their hobbies above othersyeah there are a lot of annoying readers>It's all the same crap. A way to get dopamine hits to pass the time.consolewarring is retarded but it's also retarded to claim all usages of free time are for dopamine
>>721351976I think that’s the point he was making, that it’s basic. If you’re really into a hobby you tend to explore the niches of said hobby and would be more interested in telling people about that. If all you can talk about is surface level knowledge you’re probably just trying to look more sophisticated than you actually are. The fact that the guy looks homeless and can’t even be bothered to groom himself doesn’t help either.
>>721382453>but it's also retarded to claim all usages of free time are for dopamineI'll give you that. But feeling superior to others just because you do X while someone else does Y is dumb. It's just toxic productivity and airs at that point.
>>721382926>But feeling superior to others just because you do X while someone else does Y is dumb.yeah definitely. there's nothing wrong with saying you'd rather do x than y but you shouldn't obsess about how superior you are for choosing x over y and how anyone opting for y over x is a moronit's so dumb to obsessively compare against other people like that
>>721350925He could equally be based here as he could be out of touch. I don't really see an issue. I lean towards that this is based.
>>721382926 Exactly, it's like people forget they aren't being graded on how they spend their downtime. If reading Dostoyevsky makes you feel enlightened, cool, but don't act like someone's a caveman because they 100%ed Elden Ring. The whole hierarchy of hobbies thing is just cope for people looking for an identity in what they consume. Let people rot their brains how they want lmao.
>>721353750The lowest form of consumption is always going to be slop you don't even have to interact with. I'd say streaming tv shows and movies are the lowest form, maybe after drugs.
>>721351714I used to think like this when I was 21, I was just being a contrarian, thinking I was smarter than them by skipping the "basic bitch" authors, but there I was, a complete uncultured bastard. You will find that literature is not like music or video games, you're not better for your tastes.
>>721352672GTA is like a Marvel movie, the lowest of the low for normo retards. It obviously annoys everyone with an IQ higher than average.
>>721353750I think that ship sailed a long time ago with social media and specially Tik Tok. If you play single player games you probably also watch (good) movies/tv shows and read. If you spend your time doomscrolling you most likely do nothing else.This doesn't apply to people addicted to LoL/Valorant/Fortnite/CS and shit like that of course.
>>721351040This life is worthless, retard.
>>721355830They probably mean shit they started doing like 2 weeks ago like bouldering or going to the gym. I once saw an anon said that one of his hobbies was "socializing," I don't remember if it was on /fit/ (nest of failed normies) or somewhere else.
>>721389131speak for yourself
>>721352672Imagine all the retarded mouth breathing fans who clog all of his inboxes 24/7
>>721378173>numeralsSo THAT'S why they didn't do that in the Oblivion remaster
>>721388529Do you know Tik Tok? Most normies spend hours watching tik toks or instagram reels every single day, it's not only brain dead, it's actually bad for you, that's by far the lowest form of consumption.
If you don't have a creative hobby you're not better than gamers.It doesn't matter if you go to the gym or go running every other day.Start painting, writing, playing an instrument, otherwise you're just a consumer with a past time, not a creator.
How did "let's have an entire thread about why you shouldn't play vidya" become a recurring topic on /v/ - video games
>>721389627BECAUSE WE'RE ALL RETARDS
>>721352003>literature isn't about getting smarterwhat is it about then? and why do people brag about books they've read?
>>721350925>how hype are you?0.5/10 I guess? I'll get it for the campaign when it drops to about 40USD, that is about how much they are generally worth. Provided it is good like San Andres/5 and not shit like 4. Not in any rush to buy it. Have no interest in nuRockstar online gameplay. Their online peaked in Red Dead Redemption (1) and early days GTA5 Online was fun too for only the heists, before they went hard into anti-cheat and introduced (((Shark Cards))).
>>721350925i have read crime and punishment and it was great but this faggot is missing out on the supreme kino of star fox 64. unrecoverable really
>>721351187Ogg is such a fucking faggot holy shit.
>>721356593>kill 2 women>7years in labor campwho reads this shit?
>dude not into gaming>wah why isn't he praising shit?its a job anonpeople dont do jobs for the love of it
>>721377446>get Norwood Repear'd>doesn't shave it offwhy?
>>721382046Some people live their entire lives without ever having to experience the delight of video games, anon.
>>721350925Video source? Don't make me read the thread.
>>721353542konami hire this man
>>721359271The Stars My Destination
>>721392242Some con, who cares?
>>721350925>big break is gta5>hates the fact his only known role is trevor >gets on D list walking dead>does trevor he's forever seething, He's stuck doing these no name con appearances (as trevor), his career is dead.
If it's not on PC day one I don't care, I'm not buying a console with no games just to play this, probably will watch some fleshie or vtumor stream it.
zero. i dont believe that even rockstar can pull off a release that will meet the expectations of everyone
>>721350925>how hyped for normie slop 3/10, only thing I look forward to seeing is how this game justified being this long to make and the sheer budget for it. Itll either be a massive flop or the second coming of christ for normies
>>721350925>"Thanks for the recommendation, Trevor!"would have been an ez win
>>721389209You are on 4chan, bud. Anon got you boxed there.
>>721350925This dude cracks me up. He hates being asociated with Trevor but then you look at his movie/TV work and he's basically playing slightly subdued variations of Trevor in every role.
liek 5/10 no pc day one is retarded
>>721359271Neuromancer
GTA was never goodthe gameplay was never goodthe physics were never goodthe sandboxes were never goodthe character and story were never goodit was just an interesting and technologically-advanced-for-the-time sandbox to fuck around in
>>721382503>If you’re really into a hobby you tend to explore the niches of said hobby and would be more interested in telling people about that.This isn’t true at all. The last few times I’ve been in a situation where I’ve been asked “what games do you play” I haven’t gone out of my way to describe the game I’m actually playing because there’s no telling whether or not the person will actually care to hear details about something like Dread Delusion or Labyrinth of the Demon King, so I just default to Rocket League. The way I see it, if they haven’t even heard of Rocket League, then there’s no sense in me trying to discuss my hobby with them any further. Dostoyevsky, much like Rocket League, a litmus test for seeing if the person is worth engaging with further.
>>721359002Kids reject reading cause the only books in the curriculum is fucking propaganda shit like Diary of Anne Frank, 1984, Mockingbird, etc etcThe only book that was actually enjoyable as a kid was Dahl books and those are now bad cause le man from his time is le racist.That and Phantom Tollbooth but I think they dont have that in class anymore thanks to how redpilled the demons were
>>721350925not buying it but enjoy your $90 and 200GB game
well its not really my cup of tea, but i keep forgetting it exists, whereas it feels like i knew everything about gta V just from keeping up generally with the news, maybe they just arent advertising as hard because they know theyre going to sell a decent amount on word of mouth alone
>>721398721Literally came to this pic couple of days ago, so weird to see it here
>>721350925looks a bit like Jack Nicholson with a beard.
>>721350925isn't he just salty that's he's now known as trevor and nothing else
>>721385385I mean sure he doesn't have an obligation to play nice to fans but he also doesn't have to be a fucking hypocritical asshole. The guy with the mic just said "I'll check it out" (as in the book) and Trevor said he would never play games. He tried making a point and fucking fell flat on his face. If he's such a book-reader, then maybe he should actually learn something from what he reads instead of just NPC-ing it. Fuck this guy, honestly.
>>721350925I'm not. I had a lot of fun with GTA5 but that was only in MP with friends. We still play games nowadays but not quite as much as we used to a damn decade ago and I kind of doubt the whole crew will get back together for GTA6, assuming there's any interest at all.The SP in GTA5 I started twice, once on PS3 and then on PC but never actually got into it enough to finish it. I also get a sinking feeling about GTA6 ending up woke shit, I hope that's not the case but it's also incredibly hard to imagine a big-budget project out of the West that's not DEI'd to hell and back.
>>721350925I hate reading books but I love to research and memorize information about my hobbies which effectively makes me a living index and/or fun fact factory about a limited amount of topics, and people look at me like I'm weird for it or tell me it doesn't count and I'm still uncultured for not being interested in literature.Fuck normalniggers man you can never keep them happy.
>>721382046>Why do people care so much? Is it insecurity?in this case it's a coping mechanism, trevor has been trying to escape people talking about gtav ever since it came out so he will literally bring up something to avoid talking about it as a "gotcha" moment to shut them up.
>>721350925>Dostlolevsky lol, lmao even
>>721355830I write fiction, study languages (Japanese for work and animoo, Ancient Greek for autism reasons), and like learning about ancient history. I would like to get back into drawing, but I don't have the time at the moment.
>>721350925>go to gaming events>seethes when he gets asked about GTAWhy is Steven Ogg such a retard?
>>721402545Nice try, but that's all a waste of time.
>>721402862He played a psychopathic asshole in the game, idk why anyone expected him to be anything other than just that in real life. He’s an actor— for all we know he did this on purpose to draw attention to himself.
>>721403326That’s a pretty based quote. It actually describes the way I treat my “hobbies” as well, IRL. Even if I’m deluding myself into thinking what I’m doing is important, it sure as hell feels that way 99% of the time.
my hobby feels personally attacked in this thread so i will say that playing silksong is infinitely more engaging & worth your time than reading ANY book ever will be.also trevor guy is salty as fuuuuuuck
