Maybe the game itself is the parody. Like when Jeremy Strong’s character in Succession thinks he’s gangster because he listens to rap music and does drugs sometimes. But he’s still just an insecure, corporate manchild.
Isn’t that the premise of every cop/drug movie ever?
I kind of expected a game where you shifted between comedic versions of the current cast of social characters there are in American society today.
Parodying all sides of poverty/wealth, woke and Nazis, Q-pilled Grandmas with guns, Tech Billionaires and fascists, gen-Z and gen Alpha and aging millennials… Hit us all up and make fun of it all.
I’m betting there’s no ICE deportations, flock cameras, or AI bros in the script.
Rockstar used to be a British company parodying American extremism… But they moved the whole company to LA. Now they’re an American company, contributing to America’s corporate culture and politics. That’s probably why this feels undercooked.
