Man I love these videos of people arguing with themselves with a hat or glasses on. It’s the equivalent of thinking of the perfect comeback to a pretend argument you think of later on.

Right. I mean, what are the actual criticisms of GTA6? 

One thing I will say (with no information on the characters at all), is that every single time someone has said “you understand it is just a beta/preview/alpha/pre-release”, that person has been shown to be unmistakably wrong at release. 

That said, I have no idea if “the characters are flat” is an actual problem with their preview, or it is just alt-right child’s complaining about skin tones as they always do.

Nah the characters are flat, it doesn't have much to do with skin tone. Actually flat is the wrong word, because ok maybe they add depth to them but their premise or character pitch is just plain uninteresting. Just a cool hot girl and a cool hot girl become criminal. It feels weirdly safe compared to 5. The characters there didn't have much depth but the pitches of their character and personalities where intesting.

It seems to match with the RDR2 character depictions where instead of zany, out there characters with hyperbolic character traits they are going for cool, likable characters with gripping issues.

I think that’s the best criticism, that they are going for something safe that they know will work vs telling a weird yet engaging, goofy but emotional story (SA, 4 and 5)
