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

      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.

        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.

          Maybe it’s time for a replay

            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

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

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

        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

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

      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.

      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”

      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.

      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.

        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.

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

          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.

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

    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.
