Tommys hypocrisy is the real tragedy of Part 2 💀
Its wild how tommys mistakes lowkey cooked joel, but the hypocrisy is what really makes it crazy. Everyone talks about him giving up their government names to abbys crew like he was passing out flyers, but its a whole pattern.
In the early years, joel did all the dirty hunter work to keep them alive, and tommy abandoned him for being too ruthless. Even ellie had more common sense she refused to give david her name in the snow because she knew better. Meanwhile, tommy introduces them to a room full of armed rogue military strangers like "Hi I'm Tommy this is Joel, y'all want some towels?" 💀
The worst part is how he flipped later. He spent 20 years judging joel for being a monster, and even told ellie NOT to go to seattle for revenge because it would ruin her. But the second he got mad, he threw his whole good guy routine out the window, went on a bloodthirsty rampage anyway, and then had the nerve to guilt trip ellie into finishing his dirty work at the end.
He really fumbled at the goal line because he forgot how the world works, and then turned into the exact monster he always judged his brother for being.
Found this old X/Ski parody I made in 2019… 💀💀💀
I was digging through my old files and found this absolute disaster from December 5th, 2019 (literally three days before Juice passed). 🤦😂😂
GTA 6 needs to kill the ghost companion bullshit or it’s not reaching its full potential
I been thinking about this since the november 19 date dropped. we all hyped about the map being 2.5x bigger than gta 5 but if the companion ai is trash it won't even matter
Think about games like tlou. i love dina but seeing her do a full dance routine in front of a bloater while i’m trying to stay stealthy is immersion breaking asf. if lucia and jason are supposed to be professional partners the ai needs to actually be on our side
Lucia needs that stalker ai energy
If i’m sneaking she needs to be sticking to the shadows for real. no more invisible partners. i need that stalker ai logic for our own team because ngl those stalker mfs be sneaking my ass out in tlou... 💀 thats dead a great cpu stealth enemy and if lucia can move like that it would be insane. if she peaks out and gets spotted the 5 star heat should be on BOTH of us. it would make the partnership feel sincere if her mistakes actually have consequences
Even better give her a temper. if i’m taking too long trying to be tactical she should be able to lose her patience and say fuck this and just start shooting on her own. it would make the relationship feel like an actual partnership where she’s not just a pet following you around
Jason and Lucia actually clashing over playstyles
There’s rumors Jason is the main stealth guy while Lucia is more about that assault lifestyle. If we’re on a stealth job and Lucia starts recommending we just go in aggressive it should actually mess with the relationship mechanics.
Imagine if you keep ignoring her and making her play your way she starts getting annoyed with you. if the relationship gets bad enough they should start blowing each other cover on purpose or just not helping out during shootouts. idk if i even want it to be that punishing but it would make you actually care about how you treat your partner instead of just playing like a lone wolf
We need actual Difficulty Settings like Realism Mode
Rockstar needs to stop making these games so easy. They should add a Realistic difficulty biting from the Splinter Cell series.
• Perfectionist Vibes: No mark and execute bullshit. You get shot twice, you’re dead.
• Real Detection: Enemies shouldn't be blind. If you’re standing in a lit hallway, you get spotted instantly.
• High Stakes: If you want to play like a professional you should be rewarded for it. Make us actually use cover and think about our exits instead of just tanking 50 bullets like a superhero.
Rockstar been studying the competition heavy
It is obvious rockstar been studying companies like naughty dog and ubisoft and they are looking to overcome them. red dead 2 was lowkey a 2016 game but they had to keep editing animations and graphics to make it look amazing for release. now that ai and technology is improving massively they can actually pull this off. they taking the animation polish of tlou and the map scale of ubisoft and just mashing them together with better tech
The map scale needs to be like the crew
Since we got the countryside and the panhandle now i really hope the scale is closer to the crew or wildlands than just a bigger gta 5. gta 5 had the mount chiliad problem where half the map was just empty rock. we need that rdr2 density where every gas station or roadside diner in the middle of nowhere actually has an interior and weird florida npcs to mess with. driving from vice city to the northern keys should feel like a real road trip not a 2 minute zip
GTA Online evolving like Fortnite or PUBG
The craziest part is how they might handle the map over time. I could see Rockstar moving away from the old dlc style and doing it like Fortnite or PUBG where they just keep adding brand new areas and states to the game over the years. If they treat the map as a live platform they could eventually add Liberty City or other spots without making a whole new game. it would keep the world fresh for like a decade
If rockstar perfects the ai and the scale its game over for every other company
What do yall think? you want a tactical partner or someone who’s gonna lose their cool and force you to change plans mid mission? And would yall actually play a realistic difficulty or is that too much?
Unpopular opinion “Glass Shards” (X ONLY) is top 10 posthumous releases… 💯
The game is secretly running RNG in the background just to keep the simulation alive and make defensive badges actually feel like they are doing something. If you could just skill dunk on everyone, nobody would care about interior defense. So the game runs these secret dice rolls. If the defender has a high enough badge, the RNG kicks in and shifts your green window or forces a wild Pro Play block animation just to give them the stop. It is pure gatekeeping to stop people from being MJ out there.
And real talk, if you are not running the meter on layups, you should literally never make a contested look 💯. That should have always been the case. When people play with the meter off, they are just praying for the game to give them a lucky animation. If you do not have the guts to time that shifting window in traffic, you should not get the bucket.
Also 2K needs to force HOF CPU when teammates quit during online 5v5 or 3v3. It is way too easy to exploit a Pro or All Star bot when a real player leaves. People just sit there and spam the triple threat jab step cheese to get the AI to back off for a free shot every single time. 2K needs to make it a challenge so the game stays competitive for the people who actually stayed. But keep that out of 1v1 because that would just make it unfair.
The fact that the meter shifts even when you time it right is the smoking gun. 2K would rather reward a badge than actual stick skill. 💀
I have been rocking with X since Summer 2016 from a Prettyboyfredo Twitch stream. I saw the hunger disappear in real time.
The truth is Xs sound regressed on ? because he got too comfortable with John Cunningham. He was supposed to give us a full screaming album but his ego wanted to prove he was better than the lane he blew up in. Happy Halloween is literally his best screamo song and that dropped right before he got locked up in October 2016. That proves he still had the sauce back then but his ego was massive. He ruined the opportunity so bad that now people talk about the rage era and do not even give X credit for starting it.
He stayed away from that energy so much he did not even want to scream at his shows after 2016. In the 2016 footage he was dead screaming and thrusting and actually performing with real energy. By 2018 he would just jump in the crowd and demand things from the fans instead of actually rapping. He went from being an innovator to just mumbling over acoustic guitars to show off. It felt lazy compared to 2014 to 2015. Juice WRLD would mumble to find a vibe but then he would actually rap. Late era X was just giving us unfinished voice memos.
Floor 555 and going down! are the only songs that aged well because they show his true evolution. The production on Floor 555 was already exactly where it needed to be but he abandoned that heat to chase a different image. Even the fact that he was still adjusting Glass Shards on June 18th 2018 shows he was finally trying to get back to that raw energy right before it was too late. Everything else including SAD! and Moonlight are just nostalgia fillers from 2018. He had the blueprint to change the game but he chose to regress into a formula instead. Change my mind.
