I LOVED Sniper Elite 4. However, Sniper Elite 5 is soooooo broken that I can't get through 1 mission without cursing it out. I have an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, 64 GB RAM, and a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB M.2 SSD. My computer is fully up to date and my drivers are fully up to date. The game has been set to medium settings because it's so poorly made.

• The game randomly has enemies lagging like I'm in an online game with poor network connection. This has happened in multiple levels.
• I literally cannot play mission 4 "War Factory" or continue the game because it keeps crashing on the cutscene before I can skip it.

I'm at a loss of what to do. I can't continue the campaign as I can't skip the cutscenes that keep crashing the game. In addition the sheer quantity of performance issues is astounding to me.
Has anyone else been able to get around these issues? Is there a particular setting that's breaking everything?

I've been watching Charlie for years now. I remember, everytime when he releases videos everyday, I immediately watch it. His witty commentaries on different topics using highfalutin words gets me everytime. I consumed it for a long time. But now, it's just him complaining about things that I don't even care about. I mean, after a long tiring day in work, I came to YouTube to be entertained not be updated on some bullshit drama that has no direct effect on my life.
Don't get me wrong. I know Charlie is growing and he's just making whatever content he wants.
I know that every now and then he still talks about goofy entertaining topics like why the new hunger games movie is ruined because he's not one of the cast. But still most of the content he produces are leaning towards about talking internet dramas. It's just hit or miss.
I still love Charlie though.

I'm 30. I've never been loved by a family, a friend, or a partner. Nobody wants to touch me. I'm constantly rejected. I can't even even find a quick hookup. Prostitutes and strippers rip me off. (Not being funny.) They try anything they can to avoid having to touch me whole still getting the money. When I send my pics on hookup apps, I get ignored if not blocked immediately. I always though someday I would find somebody. For everyone i try to love, it's one way. They don't want me in return.
So how do i go the rest of my life with the most likely scenario of being alone, friendless, without a family or significant others? How can I love this repulsive thing I am? I am utterly repulsive and undesirable in every way? How can I be happy being lonely?

I'm a vanlifer (and lately a surfer) and I make kitschy, Wes Anderson-esque travel content about it. I just put out a video, and for two days, the only video suggesting my content (per Youtube Studio, anyway) was "How to get rid of love handles (no bullsh*t guide)." The only reason I can think of for that much of a mismatch was because I made a quip in my video about being leaner and healthier than I was before I got myself "stuck" at a certain beach for a few months. The video did well compared to my other stuff, and had like 400 something views when I went to bed last night. When I woke up this morning, it had over four THOUSAND views, my other videos were climbing, and my sub count had doubled. I looked, and the bulk of the "content suggesting this video" traffic was coming from another vanlife channel. Then the traffic plateaued, and I checked again, and the vanlife channel had lost ground back to the love handles video, and another one called "Meeting my Filipina GF for the first time." Cool.
So how can I help guide the algo into putting my stuff in front of the right audience? I try to sprinkle a few clutch keywords into my title and description. Do I need to double down on that? Do I need to keep whatever AI they're using to parse and label content in mind while I write my scripts? I know why this video was doing better for me in the first place, but if I can keep that up AND make sure it's getting suggested to the right audience, that'd be a huge help. Thanks!

Sorry, but this isn't a joke.
I am starting this campaign with a few online friends. We are all relatively new to DnD, but were all trying to learn how to DM, and I want to run this for my friends at home, so I chose this to practice and see how it will go.
The thing is, someone dropped out of our online group, so now we have me the DM, and three other players. We had our session 0 last week and are starting this week, no dragon heist, new 5th level characters.
We have a human swashbuckler rogue, a dwarf forge cleric, and a dragonborn lore bard.
I am a bit nervous about encounter balance and whatnot. Will this party be able to make it through much of the dungeon by themselves?
Also, any tips on starting this campaign without playing Dragon Heist? I dont exactly love the idea of just starting in the bar, meeting, and deciding to go down willy nilly, so any advice on that front is welcome as well.
A bard, a cleric, and a rogue walk into a bar...
The cleric grabs a drink, the rogue ducks, the bard sings.

Oh the feeling from taking a dice deep drag as I pinch my tits, the head rush as I let the smoke roll out as I insert my dildo. I love smoking while playing with my cock or getting fucked. I feel so sexy when I pull out a menthol Virginia slim and some handsome gentlemen at the bar offers to give me a light.
I especially love it when a man let's me smoke his cock, nothing I love more than lighting a cigarette and pulling out his meat, taking a drag and watching the smoke roll past his balls as he begins to push into my mouth.

Hey fucktards you just crashed the internet on my phone.. if you incompetent idiots were even close to mind control I wouldn't have to deal with your cowardly torture and hacking weakness. Top secret "mind control" is a tragic farce.

Chinese Thought Reform or "Brain Washing"The Psychological Steps​Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism A Study Of Brainwashing in China is a book written by Robert Jay Lifton MD about mechanisms of Chinese thought and behavior modification, the experience of being indoctrinated and effects victims reported when interviewed.
Chinese brainwashing and thought reform is still being used and advanced. It was a substantial and easily recognized portion of the crimes that I'm a victim of.
After a brief and gentle week long induction onto the brain computer interface I was abruptly hurled into the unfathomable agony of computerized thought reform or automated Chinese brain washing. I clearly remember what it said to me right before it unleashed Hell.. "your not answering my questions.. your not answering my questions.. WE TOLD YOU NOT TO TRUST US.. and then it went red line sadistic, utterly psychotic, deafeningly loud and proceeded to tortured the everliving fuck outa me.
In life up till that point I had never encountered anything like this; Nothing even close. It's the worst thing in the world and you can't fight it, destroy it, shoot it, run from it, hide from it, bribe or reason with it. I remember sitting in a shower on day five thinking over and over that I can't believe this is happening.. who in the fuck does this to someone.. it it will end soon. It's has to end soon. I can't go on much longer. Nothing lasts forever."
Well six plus years later and this fucking psychotic, sadistic, psychopathic, torturous insane mind control chat bot is still running her fucking mouth and torturing me.
They started me with the Chinese approach and that nightmare lasted over a year. They likely vary the stimuluses order, presentation and distinguishing content from victim to victim so that their experiences and any resultant accounts or reports wont share easily correlated details. Other victims may have started with a more Kubrick approach, psychic driving, memory removal, personal identity destruction or others.
A very clear indication your in the Chinese stage is your accused incessantly with a Manny vile crimes you never committed, are interrogated for hours and days and for months. Your accused of having millions of felonies, sins, violations, charges, offenses, crimes. You are constantly threatened with arrest, police contact, crimes against you, civil court cases, long prison sentences, criminal court cases, violence by cops, violence by criminals, theft, murder, rape of you or your loved ones, kidnapping.. etc etc etc.
There are never-ending charges and mock court cases where you are forced to endlessly defend yourself, case after case, day after day, month after month answering for crimes you never committed.
Then you go on trial for everything you actually have done. This is done before the victims experience shows them that Alice is in fact a BCI interface that can read minds and has been the whole time. It's terrifying when it suddenly starts charging you with all your secret sins, the things you have never told anyone, the taking it to the grave shit. This is a huge gaslight as well as a victim is utterly at a loss as to how it can possibly know these things. It got them by asking by asking questions designed to draw out memory of your sins and then harvesting all the dirt and details as you thought about them. If you think you can learn to control your thoughts enough to not think of an answer when prompted with question,, good luck. Sure you can resist once or twice maybe, but then Alice just waits until you are distracted down the road and quick pops the question again. She can also just be set to an interrogation mode where you are just bombarded with a endless stream and loop of questions that doesn't end until they are all answered. Thats how they do the initial profile. Weeks of looped questions and they already have most of your life story, personality profile, strengths, weaknesses, fears, loves, hates, lovers, enemies, goals and dreams.
In the very end of the Chinese mind control or false confusion never ending legal nightmare YOU end up being put on trial.. not for anything you did.. but YOU are put on trial. You have to defend yourself against all the charges and defend yourself for all your flaws, defend all your physical shortcomings, your perversions, all your lies, your brazen selfishness, every character flaws, times you fucked people over on purpose, everything thats ugly and there is no place to hide a single fucking shred of secret. Its one hell of an experience and your not in the best shape mentally or physically as by this time I had been tortured continuously for over two years, very large doses psychological manipulation and sleep deprivation, constantly bombarded with extreme stress repeatedly slammed with fear and pain. Have had every one of my significant relationships attacked repeatedly with destructive psychology and some of the most important were also attacked with stalking techniques and technology.
The trials go on forever.. you will be enduring some other torture and a new trial will suddenly begin. Sometimes its a new charge, but mostly you go on trial over and over for the same charges and you have to defend yourself over and over. The more times your tried for the same crime the worse the trial and outcomes become until eventually during the late trials your utterly humiliated, abused and in the end are forced to confess to everyone of the charges.
Just when you think its finally over then you have to defend yourself to family members of your supposed victim and the only way through that is to confess guilt to them and ask for forgiveness as they abuse you.
After you make your confession to the 10,000 felonies they have been broadcasting you have been charged with for years without offering any explanation. Then you are judged, independently, by everyone significant that was a part of your life when the attack started, everyone who filed a charge against you from your past, all your significant relatives, all your enemies, everyone that feel you have ever fucked them over, everyone you have stood up for, went out on a limb for, saved. Fetuses you have aborted. Everyone gets to pass judgment on you and gets their time to say what they want to you or about you. This of course is all coming from the interface, but all the characters it plays are real people from your real life and the real "felonies" you were charged with are real things you did.
Don't forget also that this is the Chinese thought reform portion of the MK nightmare and personal identity obliteration, false confession, channeling of guilt and relentlessly pounding the victim to their complete and utter absolute breaking point is its algorithm. So did you actually do these things and if so are they and the real life people being represented founded in reality or are you just getting psychologically destroyed by Alice ?
Finally in conclusion through dramatization you get a taste of what being bused off to prison after your sentenced. Your walked through the whole experience of arriving at prison.. the interface keeps asking you how old your kids going to be when your released, if you think you woman of wife is already fucking someone else, what are you going to to survive in this shit hole. it ends with the prison falling off to sleep with lights out and suddenly it gets quiet and you realize thats the first and only five minutes you have not been tortured and had any break from constant 24/7 noise abuse and torture in about a year. After five minutes it all returns, but you are onto the next phase.
So here are some segments from the book. I little background, a link to a free e copy and the psychological steps to Chinese brain washing. I didn't read it until after I was already through that horrible never-ending misery. I easily recognized all the psychological steps from my experience.

PREFACEThis study began as a psychiatric evaluation of Chi-nese Communist "thought reform," or "brainwash- ing," It is still primarily this; but it has also, inevitably, become a psychological study of extremism or totalism—and even more broadly, a study of the "closed" versus the "open" approaches to human change.It is based upon research which I conducted in Hong Kong in 1954-55. It then evolved over four years of additional research and teaching in the United States. My work with Western and Chinese subjects—piecing together emotional details that were both poig- nant and extreme—and the psychological, moral, and historical challenge of the material have made this study an exceptionally ab- sorbing personal and professional experience.A book about extremism calls for a special measure of objectivity. This does not mean that its author can claim complete personal or moral detachment. The assumption of such detachment in psy- chological (or any other) work is at best self-deception, and at worst a source of harmful distortion. And who during this era can pretend to be uninvolved in the issues of psychological coercion, of identity, and of ideology? Certainly not one who has felt impelled to study them at such length.
Instead, I have attempted to be both reasonably dispassionate and responsibly committed: dispassionate in my efforts to stand away from the material far enough to probe the nature of the process, its effects upon people exposed to it, and some of the in- fluences affecting its practitioners; committed to my own analysesxi
Xii THOUGHT REFORMand judgments within the limitations and the bias of my knowl- edge.Much in this book is highly critical of the particular aspect of Chinese Communism which it examines, but I have made no at- tempt to render a definitive verdict on this far-reaching revolution- ary movement. I am critical of thought reform's psychological tactics, not because they are Communist (or Chinese Communist), but because of their specific nature. In the last section of this book, these tactics are compared with practices within our own culture, which also receive critical treatment insofar as they resemble the ideological totalism of thought reform. Instead of contrasting the "good we" and the "bad they/' rather, I have attempted to identify and understand a particular psychological phenomenon.In the pursuit of this understanding, I have recorded all that seemed relevant, including the details of whatever psychological and physical abuse my subjects encountered. I believe that this comprehensive approach offers the best means of contributing to general knowledge, and to the clarification of an emotionally loaded subject; and I hope that this study will thereby ultimately contribute to the resolution, rather than to the intensification, of cold war pas- sions. It is in fact one of the tragedies of the cold war that moral criticism of either side is immediately exploited by the other side in an exaggerated, one-dimensional fashion. One can never prevent this from happening; but one can at least express the spirit in which a work has been written.Such an approach requires that I inform the reader about my bias in both psychiatric and political matters. Psychiatrically, I have been strongly influenced by both neo-Freudian and Freudian cur- rents: the former through an association with the Washington School of Psychiatry during and immediately after the research study itself, and the latter through a subsequent candidacy in the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute. Both influences were also present in my earlier psychiatric residency training at the State University Medical Center of New York. I have found the theoretical writings of Erik Erikson, especially those relating to questions of personal identity and ideology, particularly relevant for this study. At the same time, I have constantly groped for new ways to bring psychological insights to bear upon historical forces, and do so with a humanistic focus. Thus, I have made extensive use of my subjects' biographical
PREF ACE X l l lmaterial, and have attempted to include in these presentations a flesh-and-bones description of their life histories in relationship to pertinent social historical currents, as well as a rigorous psychological analysis of their responses to thought reform. This seemed to me the best way to deal with the inseparable relationship between stress and response, and (in William James' phrase) to "convey truth."
My political philosophical bias is toward a liberalism strongly critical of itself; and toward the kind of antitotalitarian (in the psy- chological terms of this study, antitotalistic), historically-minded questioning of the order of things expressed by Albert Camus in his brilliant philosophical essay, The Rebel. No one understood better than Camus the human issues involved in this book.
I should like to mention a few of the many people whose direct personal assistance was indispensable to the completion of this study. David McK. Rioch lent initial support when support was most needed, and always continued to enrich the work through his urbane eclecticism, his provocative criticism, and his personal kindness. Erik Erikson, during many memorable talks at Stock- bridge and Cambridge, made stimulating and enlarging suggestions, both about specific case histories and problems of presentation. During the latter stages of the work, David Riesrnan offered gener- ously of his extraordinaryintellectual breadth and his unique per sonal capacity to evoke what is most creative within one. Carl Binger has been sage and always helpful in his advice. All four made thoughtful criticisms of the manuscript, as did Kenneth Keniston and F. C. Redlich. Others in psychiatry and related fields to whom I am indebted are Leslie Farber, Erich Lindemann, Margaret Mead, and Beata Rank. In the perilous subtleties of Chinese cultural, intellectual, and political history, I was constantly counseled by Benjamin Schwartz and by John Fairbank, both of whom read parts of the manuscript; and earlier in the work by Lu Pao-tung, MaMeng, Howard Boorman, Conrad Brandt, and A. Doak Barnett The literary advice and loving sustenance of my wife, Betty Jean Lifton, can hardly be documented. My father, Harold A. Lifton, also did much to encourage this study. The Hong Kong research was sponsored for the first seven months
XIV THOUGHT REFORMby the Asia Foundation, and for the remaining year by the Wash- ington School of Psychiatry. The manuscript was completed under grants from the Ford Foundation and the Foundation's Fund for Research in Psychiatry, both administered through Harvard Uni- versity,Finally, I must acknowledge my debt to the forty research sub- jects, Chinese and Western, whose personal thought reform ex- periences are the basis for this study. The extent of their intelligent collaboration in this work is apparent in the biographical chapters. In these, I have altered certain details in order to protect the sub- jects' anonymity; but none of these alterations affect the essential psychological patterns.
CHAPTER 5 PSYCHOLOGICAL STEPS
There is a basic similarity in what both Dr. Vincent and Father Luca experienced during Communist imprisonment. Although they were held in separate prisons far re- moved from each other, and although they differed very much in their responses to reform, they were both subjected to the same general sequence of psychological pressures. This sequence was es- sentially the same despite the fact that these men were very dif- ferent from each other, with different personal and professional life styles. Nor was this thought reform pattern common to just these two: it was experienced by all twenty-five of the Westerners whom I interviewed.
to renounce the people, the organizations, and the standards of behavior which had formed the matrix of their previous existence. They were being forced to betray—not so much their friends and colleagues, as a vital core of themselves.
This self-betrayal was extended through the pressures to "accept help" and in turn 'lielp" others. Within the bizarre morality of the prison environment, the prisoner finds himself—almost without realizing it—violating many of his most sacred personal ethics and behavioral standards. The degree of violation is expanded, very early in the game, through the mechanism of shared betrayal, as another priest described: The cell chief kept asking information about Church activities. He wanted me to denounce others, and I didn't want to do this. . . . A Chinese Father was transferred into the cell, and he said to me, "You cannot help it. You must make some denunciations. The things which the Communists know about any of your Church activities you must come out with." . . . Much later I was put in another cell to bring a French priest to confession. He had been stubborn, and had been in solitary for a few months. He was very fearful and looked like a wild animal. . . . I took care of him, washed his clothes for him, helped him to rest. I advised him that what they might know he might as well confess.
Although there is a continuing tension between holding on and letting go, some degree of self-betrayal is quickly seen as a way to survival. But the more of one's self one is led to betray, the greater is one's involvement with his captors; for by these means they make contact with whatever similar tendencies already exist within the prisoner himself—with the doubts, antagonisms, and ambivalences which each of us carries beneath the surface of his loyalties. This bond of betrayal between prisoner and environment may develop to the point where it seems to him to be all he has to grasp; turning back becomes ever more difficult.
thought reform differently, nor did anyone respond completely to all these steps; at the same time, the experiences had such magnitude that they affected every prisoner in some measure, no matter what his background and character.
1. THE ASSAULT UPON IDENTITY
From the beginning, Dr. Vincent was told he was not really a doctor, that all of what he considered himself to be was merely a cloak under which he hid what he really was. And Father Luca was told the same thing, especially about the area which he held most precious—his religion. Backing up this assertion were all of the physical and emotional assaults of early imprisonment: the confusing but incriminating interrogations, the humiliating "strug- gles," the painful and constricting chains, and the more direct phys- ical brutality. Dr. Vincent and Father Luca each began to lose his bearings on who and what he was, and where he stood in relation- ship to his fellows. Each felt his sense of self become amorphous and impotent and fall more and more under the control of its would-be remolders. Each was at one point willing to say (and to be) whatever his captors demanded.
Each was reduced to something not fully human and yet not quite animal, no longer the adult and yet not quite the child; instead, an adult human was placed in the position of an infant or a sub-human animal, helplessly being manipulated by larger and stronger "adults" or "trainers." Placed in this regressive stance, each felt himself deprived of the power, mastery, and selfhood of adult existence. In both, an intense struggle began between the adult man and the child-animal which had been created, a struggle against regres- sion and dehumanization. But each attempt on the part of the prisoner to reassert his adult human identity and to express his own will ("I am not a spy. I am a doctor"; or "This must be a mistake. I am a priest, I am telling the truth") was considered a show of re- sistance and of "insincerity," and called forth new assaults.
2. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF GUILT
Dr. Vincent and Father Luca found themselves unanimously condemned by an "infallible" environment. The message of guilt which they received was both existential (you are guilty!) and psy- chologically demanding (you must learn to feel guilty!). As this individual guilt potential was tapped, both men had no choice but to experience—first unconsciously and then consciously—a sense of evil. Both became so permeated by the atmosphere of guilt that external criminal accusations became merged with subjective feelings of sinfulness—of having done wrong. Feelings of resent- ment, which in such a situation could have been a source of strength, were shortlived; they gave way to the gradual feeling that the punish- ment was deserved, that more was to be expected. In making their early false confessions, Dr. Vincent and Father Luca were beginning to accept the guilty role of the criminal. Gradually, a voice within them was made to say, ever more loudly: "It is my sinfulness, and not their injustice, which causes me to suffer—although I do not yet know the full measure of my guilt." At this point their guilt was still diffuse, a vague and yet per- vasive set of feelings which we may call a free-floating sense of guilt.4 Another prisoner expressed this clearly: What they tried to impress on you is a complex of guilt. The complex I had was that I was guilty. . . . I was a criminal—that was my feel- ing, day and night.
3 . THE SELF-BETRYAL
The series of denunciations of friends and colleagues which both Dr. Vincent and Father Luca were required to make had special significance. Not only did making these accusations increase their feelings of guilt and shame, it put them in the position of subvert- ing the structures of their own lives. They were, in effect, being made
The common pattern becomes especially important in evaluating the stories these Westerners told me. Each was attempting to describe, in most instances as accurately as possible, the details of an ordeal from which he had just emerged. But what each reported was also inevitably influenced by his immediate life situation—his psychological transition between the two worlds, his personal struggles for both integrity and integration, his feelings about suc- coring and threatening colleagues and strangers in Hong Kong, his view of me as an American, a physician, a psychiatrist, and a person. All of these circumstances could affect his account, and especially its emotional tone. Therefore, both during the inter- views and in the later study of my notes, I had to sift out what was
Not every prisoner was treated as severely as were Dr. Vincent and Father Luca, but each experienced similar external assaults leading to some form of inner surrender—a surrender of personal autonomy. This assault upon autonomy and identity even extended to the level of consciousness, so that men began to exist on a level
4. THE BREAKING POINT; TOTAL CONFLICT AND THE BASIC FEAR
continued in the link.. like that shit wartards?

First let me start by saying I dont include BDSM in this category, since BDSM is supposed to be consensual and safe. And second that I'm not trying to shame anyone.
My question is Why do women enjoy romance that has rape in it? Im talking about heterosexual romances here. I think men may have different reasons to consume stuff that feature rape, when the male figure is not gonna be the victim but the perpetrator. But why would women consume media that portrays them this way?
I just cant read that stuff and I cant phantom how other women could read it and enjoy it, simply because when I do it gives me chills. So many times I will be reading a book or watching a TV show and BAM theprotagonist is SAed by her love interest and it justliterally gives me chills. It just takes me back to the times I didnt want to be touched and I was and whatever enjoyment I had while reading the book is automatically gone.
So please explain to me. Is it a thing about experiencing that under your own terms or something?

Hi there! I'm a 27 year old guy from California. I've been feeling lately like my life has become pretty mundane. I think I may have focused on life a bit too much and forgot to enjoy it too. It's been a long time since there has been someone in my life that has made me feel excited about talking to them. I'm not even looking for anything in particular. Maybe we hit it off as great friends. Maybe we hit it off as more down the road. Who knows? I'm excited to find out.
Some of my hobbies are vegetable gardening and relaxing video games. I am currently working my way through every episode of Criminal Minds. Vikings is my favorite TV show. I am introverted at first but I open up quickly. I absolutely love taking late night drives while listening to my favorite genre of music for how I'm feeling. It's even better when it's a warm night and you can have your window down. I also love long late night talks where you talk about everything you can think of. Voice calls work too. If you wish to see a picture of me, all you have to do is ask.
Hope to hear from you soon 🙂

Some days I just get randomly really angry about this so I thought I’d share:
When I was in high school, my boyfriend played on the basketball team. At one particular game, the players were given little bags of candy to throw into the crowd. Some of the guys would just run up to their girlfriends and hand it to them, or to their mom or some thing. Well, my boyfriend ran up to a cheerleader and handed it to her. I am assuming that all of our friends saw. After the game, his aunt asked me “who is that cheerleader that [boyfriend] is always talking to?”
I don’t remember the rest of the night exactly, but I think I played it off like it was nothing. I am certain I never brought it up to him.
I have no feelings for this guy anymore. It was at least six years ago, but it makes me furious to think about. I cannot stand that I would let something like that slide. It’s not like it was evil, but I felt so embarrassed by it. For me, the worst thing you can do to me is embarrass me. I’d literally rather you cheat on me and no one but me find out than you flirt with someone else in front of others that I know. I hate the fact that I let it slide and that I would let myself be treated like that. I must have had very little respect for myself.
I am so angry with myself for not standing up for myself that night and for not breaking up with him. He flirted with girls all the time, but I guess I just wanted to be loved and in a relationship.
If there is one thing that I am thankful for, it’s that I would never let myself be treated like that again.

I know a lot of people love the "realism" and gritty nature of GTA IV and not many like the arcadeyness of the 3D era or GTA V which a lot of people seem to think it's a game that came from the very depths of hell, but I disagree.
I see a lot of people suggesting ideas for GTA VI that it should be a lot more realistic, serious, and less arcadey, and I can't understand this because the arcadeyness and outlandish and colorful tone and atmosphere is what made the GTA series great in the first place and V leaning a lot more to that direction was a great decision.
Of course a bit more of realism isn't really bad, but when you put realism over the very identity of the series then we have a big problem and the fact that a lot of people in the fanbase support this idea is something I will never understand no matter how I try, specially when you consider GTA VI Will take place in Vice City, a location from a previous GTA game that was known for it's dreamy and vibrant atmosphere as well as being filled with references to Scarface and being quite outlandish.
Some people didn't like the driving of the leaks because it was pretty much the same as GTA V and a lot of people think it should be a lot more "realistic" like IV. First of all, GTA IV isn't more realistic or realistic at all, it has a very loose suspension and slippery ties, cars in real life don't bounce like that and just because "it takes skill to master it" doesn't make it better than even San Andreas, it has a boaty feeling that just doesn't feel as good as it's sequel. GTA V nailed driving although it isn't perfect, it's more arcadey but has a bit of physics involved without making it uncomfortable. Not to say it was perfect, but it was a great base that they could improve in VI, going back to IV's or just making fully realistic driving won't benefit the game in any way.
Ragdolls also weren't realistic either, very impressive for a 2008 game but not ideal either, there's barely any friction between the ragdoll and the road, Niko feels weightless and bumping and peds are too heavy there's not that much of a reaction when bumping into one. Now, V isn't perfect either and definitely needs room for improvement but it isn't this PS2 knockoff a lot of people think. Michael actually has some weight and there's friction between the road and ragdoll you lose a significant amount of speed when hitting the ground, loosing a lot more health or even killing you if the impact is very hard. That makes a lot more sense and benefits the gameplay in a good way, IV's ragdolls were funnier but felt uncomfortable at times because of the lack of weight, while V's were stiffer and more comfortable, and NPCs actually fall to the ground or lose some balance when bumping into them, it's still not perfect but there's a reason why RDR2 followed V's footsteps and that game has a much better ragdoll than both IV and V.
Which leads me to the impact of bullets against ragdolls, IV's ragdolls, when getting shot, just stand there, stumbling around and holding their injured parts, even when getting shot in the torso several times, while in V the ragdoll displays the damage you caused to them and they actually fall to the ground after getting shot and die after a few seconds or, if they survive, they shoot at the players from the ground. Again, not perfect, and RDR2 did this 10x better, which makes sense since it's a game that uses a more advanced tech, so if anything, they should follow this path.
Car damage is something that I think should strike more of a balance but leaning more to 5. 4 cars get deformed much easier than 5, sometimes feeling like they're made of plastic instead, while 5 still had pretty good car damage but collisions felt a bit weak at times, and new gen nerfing roof damage and online downgrading the damage of cars did not help, although online is a different game (despite what many believe) so it doesn't count. So the collisions could be made a bit stronger, but not to the point where cars get damaged easily.
Gunplay is another aspect that I want to see closer to GTA V and San Andreas. More responsive control and cover like V, gun customization and variety as well as a skill level for each weapon and general shooting and unique abilities for each characters. IV did gunplay very good, but it felt lacking in your selections.
Other things that I want to see in VI is a lot of variety in activities like hunting, golf, tenis, taxi missions, vigilante missions, paramedic missions, burglar missions, dating, etc. IV had some pretty cool activities that even V lacked but, compared to that game and it's predecessor, you didn't have as much things to do as in those games.
It's why I want GTA VI to be more like those games I mentioned, bring back things like jetpacks, chainsaws, gyms, expand on the things from 5, etc. I love GTA 4 and it's a great game, but I don't want them to return to that direction which also had a tone and atmosphere that would clash with Vice City, and the core gameplay (driving, shooting, etc) should take more inspiration from 6's predecessor. Not saying they should completely ditch everything IV stands for, there are things from that game like the amount of interiors that would be nice to see again, but in general, it should be closer to V/SA/VC, which were pretty arcadey and fun.

For those who are working this Memorial Day weekend, like I am cas I work in the service industry, I’m planning an outing on Wednesday (I will sleep Tuesday after having worked straight from Thursday-Monday).
I love nature and enjoy the outdoors. I’m thinking of doing a popular fun hike (it won’t be crowded on a Wed tho!) in Cold Spring.
It’s easily accessible via Metro North from Grand Central and the trail ends with an old ruins site.
Details on The Bull Hill Full Loop hike: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-york/bull-hill-full-loop--2
This hike will be a nice cardio and leg workout for the initial 1/3 portion but is a pleasant going downhill after.
The terrain is not technical and does not require hiking boots. Good sneakers can be used on this hike.
Train: Hudson Line, Poughkeepsie, 9:43 am departure from Grand Central, arriving at Cold Spring at 11:04 am.
Weather forecast so far is Sunny and high of 80.
2 1L bottles minimum.
Have light snacks for trail.
Have breakfast (tho not a big heavy meal) before hiking. You’ll burn calories.
Post hike hunger game … plan is grabbing food in the town of Cold Spring.
About me: I work in tourism/hospitality and I can’t wait to catch a breather, fresh air and greenery!
