Why does this shit distro deserve all this funding and support? There’s many better options doing a lot more for the ecosystem yet this gets the attention. It’s don’t understand.

If I’m getting critical I agree - the story seemed somewhat mild/cliche. The dialog was lacking any sort of interesting banter, it was mostly fluctuating between business and panic. I’m not really loving Jason’s VA, but I didn’t dig Niko’s VA either at first.

However the sandbox that I’m seeing in action (ie, the police chase, hallway gun fight) is frankly incredibly and ridiculously detailed to a point of absurdity. It’s a generational leap forward in open world richness, of that respect.

I’m hopeful it doesn’t take always take itself so seriously. There was some commentary shown in the first trailer too, though.

It looks incredible. I seriously wonder if we’ll ever see another game ever attempt this scale, this could be rockstar’s magnum opus.

I’m torn with considering this premature… I think about games like multiversus that didn’t find their footing, got shut down for a year to rebuild and rework the systems, then failed it’s second release too. In that regard, I sort of appreciate they’re failing it fast.

What? Weird, I had a mild interested in this game and didn’t know it ever came out. Damn, feels bad but I guess happy I didn’t get invested into it.

Are you mentioning this implying that’s sufficient oversight? The alert is minimally providing reasonable suspicion to track and investigate someone. Police don’t need to ticket or bring charges to ruin your day.

If everything “checks out” as a misflag hopefully they cut that person loose quickly, without issue. Unfortunately, there’s too many videos of innocent people being felony stopped, because cops defer to the lead and treat the situation as they’re trained.

Oorr people go running for unrelated reasons except they drew today’s lucky number for a stop, leading to incidents.

Flock cameras are worse, at least imo, because it’s “active”. The old cameras clocked your speed, took a picture, got processed and sent a fine. The flock cameras will misread your plate, determine you are a violent out of state felon, follow your movement and dispatch a squad to your location. You can be dragged out of the car at gunpoint before you even know what’s happening.

Theres also the universal database aspect that can expose all the different department’s data to each other, allowing officers to do things like saayy, stalk their ex-wives across state lines.

The history of movement they compile, the analysis tools available, the “proactive policing”, and the creep factor of always being monitored all roll together.

“Hold my beer” - Nintendo, releasing an EU centric revision. Meanwhile Apple and Samsung are digging up every legal loophole to prevent the law applying to their devices.

Considering we’ve seen them sending out the national guard without housing plans and launching ice raids from private campuses, this doesn’t seem far fetched?
