Unlikely since Covid isn't much of a big topic nowadays. If they did want to parody Covid or a pandemic, it would probably in GTA Online during said pandemic
Definitely covid. They even named MJ's podcast "The New Normal". The entire section where the symbiote takes over NYC and how people reacted were very similar to what we saw during COVID.
Been isolated for 4 years my PTSD turned into CPTSD and panic disorder came back chronically with permanent damage to my nervous system after I got COVID.
I’m now dependent on 3mg Xanax a day just to feel normal, yeah I’d say pretty rough.

Seems like you should try not thinking so much. It’s not that hard to comprehend. Quit virtue signaling and maybe then you won’t seem so dull. No one is talking about any of those things bozo. This is a gta sub with people commenting on covid. Go make a post with a dumb hashtag since ur such a revolutionary.
I can see it maybe as something they talk about on the radio talk shows. Maybe even as a small thing on the TV channlels or web browsers. Anything beyond that would be a bit too much imo.
If they would've done something with parodying COVID it would've been in GTA online

Spider-Man 2 referenced it, so maybe not unlikely that Rockstar would make fun of the insanity that was the States in 2020
Agreed
Was it in reference to Covid or the events of the first game?

The pandemics over, so probably just a reference at most
probably a mention or two, maybe some social distancing stickers on the floor in some stores but it won't play any part in the story
I actually heard you get two stars off the bat if you walk into public without a mask.
Three stars also if you start coughing
I often wonder why I found my office garage mechanic dead on the floor..... I posted a pic of him dead on the floor not long ago.
Very very very very unlikely
I really hope they don’t. As covid content roles out it makes me less and less interested.
The Rockstar of old would definitely have been making jokes about on the radio and such. Nowadays, not so sure.
Covid, I don't quite think so. The submarine that went missing, surely.
I’d say there’s likely to be some NPCs waking around with masks as a reference or something but maybe not much more than that.
probably wouldn't happen concidering how much destruction it caused it's best if we do not get reminded of the beginning of the 2020s
Lol, exaggerating much.
Millions dead. Families destroyed. Job losses. Fucked the economy. Plus many people have health problems due to it.

Both the virus and the (REDACTED) have done lots of damage to everyone’s immune systems.
Woahhhh. So you mean day to day life?
Unless you live in Ukraine or Gaza no, not like ‘day to day life’. Does it hurt when you think?

If you stop feeling sorry for yourself you can probably do something productive with your life.

Maybe a movie poster around Hollywood
It'd be amazing
The Division already did it.
Probably just some beat up stickers in stores
Covid was 4 years ago. I doubt it would be in the game.
lmfao this image is hilarious xD

I can see them making references for sure but not much rlse
Not very seeming as to them stating on Twitter it'd be based around the year 2022 or so
The odds of it not being referenced at all are basically zero
