Rockstar announced today that Nopixel V is "the next evolution of the GTA 5 roleplay community," which has led to some head-scratching from casual GTA RP followers (like myself), because Nopixel V isn't something you or I can just jump into and play.

"It's just such a huge galaxy to fill": Don't expect any Total War: Warhammer 40,000 sequels, but do expect lots of updates that builds upon its sandbox

"It felt like the right thing to do"

Total War: Warhammer 40,000 feels like one of those games where you think to yourself, "wait, how doesn't this exist already?"

GTA 6's story is too important for Rockstar to let you swap between Lucia and Jason whenever you want

The recent GTA 6 "extended look" on Netflix wasn't very clear on whether you can swap between its protagonists Jason and Lucia at will. Apart from a moment where the camera pulls away from Lucia and back down to Jason miles away, there wasn't a lot of swapping going on, especially during the action.

Cop Land Is One of GTA Vice City’s Most Frustrating Levels, but It Showcased the Ambition That Would Later Create Rockstar’s Greatest Missions

It was supposed to be an easy job. Get in, set the detonators, get out, get paid. But now, with seemingly every fed in the state on my tail, it’s clear that Cop Land, one of GTA Vice City’s mid-game missions, is anything but an easy job.
