In the South Park game the "difficulty" setting is a slider that changes your skin tone.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

And Jew is a character class that starts rich, but everyone hates you.

[–] jose1324@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's a fake slider. Cartman just say it will affect every aspect of your life, just not the game one. Still funny af.

Which South Park game has this?

I don't remember it and I'm pretty sure I've played them all.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Either or both of stick of truth and fractured but whole. I can't remember off the top of my head which, but it's definitely there.

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't remember that in either one and I own both...

Maybe it's time for a replay

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Quick googling tells me they don't affect gameplay at all. Being said, I really liked both games and wouldn't ever tell anyone not to get another run in

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They could have just left out the word “evil” there.

Anyway, never mind that - when are they doing a modern take on GTA London?

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

A GTA game without guns or cuss words would be pretty bland

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

GTA London? What? Please explain.

[–] baropithecus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They are referring to the standalone expansion set in London in the 1960s for GTA 1 (the top down one), if I'm not mistaken

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

But the "corrupt/evil cop" archetype is a staple in the GTA franchise. Remember Tenpenny? Is this just rage bait for right-wingers again?

[–] zepheriths@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Just like GTA IV and V have right? ( neither game has that programed dispite that people insist it's in those games)

[–] MaxPow3r11@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

evil cops is redundant.

They could have just said COPS.

[–] WindowsEnjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Realistic cops.

[–] Leperhero@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Who cares. Ill be doing so much crime, them pulling me over will be warranted.

They will have to catch me first.

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

This just in, GTA 6 will feature COPS.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Didn't they have those in gta3?

[–] apprehensively_human@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is nothing new for the series

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Racism is an Easter egg in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Grand Theft Auto V.

https://gta-myths.fandom.com/wiki/Racism

Sounds like this will be the first for racial profiling by police, well if the denial of it happening in V is true.

[–] DrCatface@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

racism is an easter egg. wow never thought I'd see those words together.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Sometimes, the cops will say "I only listen to white rappers"

I think that's very funny and poignant satire. It's racism of the most stupid and least consequential order.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

And Vice City, and San Andreas.

The real answer is just that it’s a blanket term used by conservatives to refer to liberal ideas. For example, saying that gay marriage should be legal makes you “woke”

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

The recognition that there are entrenched systematic inequalities based on bigotry in American society, and the belief that action should be taken to break them down.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

To be "woke" is to be aware that things are not all butterflies and puppy dogs, and to acknowledge that fact.

In other words, to be anti-woke is to willingly chose to remain ignorant about all the awful things that are happing in the world, such as racial inequality, for example.

It's a good thing to stay woke.

Like far too many people, OP appears to not understand the definition of woke.

[–] Blapoo@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Shit. I don't understand what it means.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Woke - Anything right wing politicians and media has decided to rile their base against. Defining "woke" any more specifically than that today will mean that the definition is wrong tomorrow because what is or is not "woke" changes almost daily.

[–] 520@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Woke simply means being conscious of diversity and discrimination issues happening in your society.

[–] 6mementomori@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

someone who is overly worried about issues like discrimination to the point they create their own problems would be one definition.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

That definition is really helpful for blocklist curation.

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

A bad definition, to be sure.

[–] JDtheGeek@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

GTA going woke?

It boggles my mind that so many people don't realise the entire GTA franchise is a satire of American culture, by the Scottish development studio. It's always been liberal.
