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

Sounds like this will be the first for racial profiling by police, well if the denial of it happening in V is true.
I always thought they were more aggressive with Lamar vs Trevor out in Blaine County. At least it always felt that way when playing.
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
I think I still have a copy of the original one but I wasn't aware an expansion set in London was available.
Also, as far as I'm aware, highlighting police brutality and racial injustice IS woke
The point is that it's being used as satire by posting in a circlejerk sub, not that it's being used incorrectly.
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.
Woke simply means being conscious of diversity and discrimination issues happening in your society.
someone who is overly worried about issues like discrimination to the point they create their own problems would be one definition.
But the "corrupt/evil cop" archetype is a staple in the GTA franchise. Remember Tenpenny? Is this just rage bait for right-wingers again?
Who cares. Ill be doing so much crime, them pulling me over will be warranted.
They will have to catch me first.
Just like GTA IV and V have right? ( neither game has that programed dispite that people insist it's in those games)
Have cops pulled over NPC citizens in GTA before? Or is this hinting at a similar multi-character storyline like GTA5?
I think I've seen it before, but admittedly I think my actions lead to the interaction.
Ie: I was driving as one does hit a car which hit a police car leading to the civilian getting shot
Yeah I think I've seen stuff like that, but I don't think I've seen an actual pull-over. Like a car on the side of the road and the cop walking up to it and issuing a ticket. NPC interactions have definitely advanced over the generations of the game, this might actually be interesting to see.
You could always come across chases going on, there were nocshootouts happening. But I don’t know if you ever saw the race of the npc.
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.
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.
Source : Ron DeSantis's lawyers (not joking)
DeSantis' general counsel, Ryan Newman, responded that the term means "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."
But, yeah.
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”
Alternatively, and one adopted by the alt medicine movement, new age and fringe groups, is to be aware of chakras, crystals aliens (Pleiadians, the Grays, etc) and other conspiracies. Basically to buy into the quack. I used to lurk those communities on FB for years often back in the day and was incredibly confused when people meant the other type of woke when the term gained traction.
Smh, everyone knows cops famously love black people. We can't openly say the n word most of the time now, so we basically solved racism.
GTA worlds have always been about reflecting what goes on in the real world, either played straight or as a parody. Something like this is not off-brand for Rockstar North at all, and certainly isn't them going woke.
In the remaster trilogy they removed a southern flag from some inbred redneck because they said it's no longer culturally sensitive. I seriously doubt they would do something like this with the next game.
That was Grove Street Games who made the remaster trilogy. Rockstar North had nothing to do with that.
Oh I know that they were the ones who actually did the work. But Rockstar had to sign off on this stuff in some way. They definitely had a say in what was removed from the game.
They in no way had to sign off anything about that game. The GTA franchise is controlled by Take Two Interactive, not Rockstar North.
It was very evident that Rockstar North had no input into these games, or they simply weren't listened to, considering the game launched with obvious errors that clashed with the intended designs for the original games.
Edit: also, do you really think that Rockstar North of all people, the developers of the original Manhunt game and the same people that put a graphic torture minigame in the GTA5 mission By the Book, would somehow draw the line at the Confederate flag?
