Last night's dip into GTA Online's Operation Paper Trail missions was surprisingly chilling

My wife plays GTA Online a couple of times a week. It's not hard to see why she's stuck with it. Rockstar's endlessly unspooling criminal playground is weird and sometimes creaky, but it's still beautiful - no other company has captured the rosy opioid bloom of LA light like this - and it's still fun. More than anything, it's unpredictable: whenever you go into GTA Online, you always come out with some kind of story.

The missions form a short narrative called Operation Paper Trail. The idea is that a heatwave has struck San Andreas and oil prices have gone through the roof at the same time. Climate change and the cost of living crisis! In GTA's world, as a government agent informs me, the oil hike is because of good old price gouging, and we're quickly dispatched to do something about it. Not stop it, by any means, I gather. We're off to wet our beaks.

From here we had a choice of locations to go to. We decided on the one that was downtown, as it was closest. My friend drove off, and I tried to follow, but I got so hung up reading the mini-map - this always happens - that I ended up rear-ending several trucks along the way. By the time I got to the destination, my friend was already inside the building. I could tell this because I could hear the sound of shooting coming through the walls and bleeding into the street. A clever detail.

You need to shout that.

GTA 6 development slowed partly due to Rockstar reform — reportGTA 6 development is apparently slow-moving due to Rockstar Games' culture reform, which is working towards becoming a 'kinder, more progressive company,' a recent Bloomberg report has uncovered. I'll take a better game made by happy devs over overworked devs cramming for a deadline. Oh I'm sure wasting waiting for two console generations and milking the hell out of GTA Online had nothing to do it... 🤪
