'Most annoying' GTA 6 feature already revealed

from GTA6

A Redditor thinks Rockstar Games has already revealed "the most annoying part" of GTA 6.

Erin_-M posted in the GTA 6 Subreddit: "Calling it now, the bridge in the Keys will be the most annoying part of the game when your cars falls off and you have to swim to shore."

And others have been commenting with their thoughts.

NYCRaverNeon said: "And if you request a car on the bridge - it's available two islands away 😂😂"

CornCobMcGee said: "Luckily, if it's anything like any bridge in the south, there are at least two fishers there in boats at all times."

method__Dan said: "If you crash your car off a bridge I think it's supposed to be annoying. Kind of like flipping your car over used to be."

Open_Law_3334 said: "Would be funny to push others off it though, it kinda reminds me of the broken bridge in Alderney in GTA 4."

Far_Adeptness9884 said: "Just drive straight dude."

GTA 5's Ned Luke has been swatted again and issued a stark warning online

Rockstar Games

There's a viral clip of GTA 5 voice actor Ned Luke, who plays Michael de Santa, getting swatted live on stream before police officers refer to him by his name as it's happened on a number of occasions previously.

Swatting is when people call the police on someone that's live-streaming with the intention to disrupt the creator's content or perhaps even get them arrested live on the internet.

During a livestream of GTA Online with Rob Wiethoff, who plays John Marston in the Red Dead Redemption series, two police officers walk into the room where Luke is streaming around 35 minutes in.

One of the officers said Luke has been "swatted again" and the GTA 5 actor looks completely unbothered, replying: "Oh my god, what's up guys?"

Elon Musk reveals real reason why he won't be playing GTA 6

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has revealed the real reasons why he does not like the Grand Theft Auto series and will not be playing GTA 6 when it releases.

Speaking with Nikhil Kamath on the People by WTF podcast, when asked if he's played GTA, Musk said: "I've only played a little bit of GTA because I didn't like the fact that... Like in GTA 5, you literally can't progress unless you kill the police.

"And I'm like 'this doesn't work for me'. I actually don't like killing the NPCs in video games. That's not my thing.

"I actually stopped when it said the only way to proceed is to shoot at the police. I'm like 'I don't want to do that'."
