If this came out today /v/ would hate it indeed, they'd say "wtf are these PSX graphics"

>>723611415
Yes because it's unfinished and clearly missing big chunks of story.

Everyone over the age of 18 hated it back then, no adult enjoyed all the nignog gangsta stuff going from vice city.

If this game came out nowadays CJ would be a gay transexual who would be constantly moralizing and doting to the player about how racialized niggers and minorities are. If anything the game is based because it’s an inner city nigger doing inner city nigger things and doesn’t shy away from it

Dude when you steal a car CJ literally says "Don't blame me society made me this way" and the entire game romanticizes the nignog culture as something cool.
This game is a big part why there were so many wigger kids back then, this game and eminem

>takes a satirical line seriously
Actual retard

You can claim that for every GTA game though, GTA 4 had the same messaging and it was kino, people who hear that excuse and take it at face value instead of scapegoating by a flawed character are retarded. Though I’d agree this game popularized nigger culture to so many people when imo it did a better job at pointing out how retarded it is
