Kotaku Game DiaryDaily thoughts from Kotaku staff about the game we play.Since most of the United States is stuck at home, trust me Grand Theft Auto Online leaving my home and doing things I remember, like watching a movie.
Here in Kansas, for the last few weeks, most of us have been living at home when we are not alone. This is the smart and responsible thing you can do to help health care workers who are dealing with the severity of sick patients and will also reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, it is still tiring and I still crave to see movies, go out and grab something to eat and just hang out outside my home. So, I've been using it Gta Online
It would seem silly. Gta Online for many it's that big game where people fly around in jerseys killing people and looting casinos. But if you find a quiet server or start a private session with just friends, Gta Online it can be a real good simulator of the world.

For example, a few days ago I spent an hour Gta Online you drive down to the clothing store and buy new threads. Then I turned to the casino for gambling and betting on other horses. A few months ago none of this would have been as exciting or exciting, but today things are different. Nowadays, the idea of going to a big place, crowded with people and buying food or drinks sounds trivial, and dangerous.
In Gta Online the world has never changed much, which means the game timeline is a little wonky. However, this also means that the game is free of Coronavirus and all the bad things that followed in the wake of COVID-19 & # 39; s. All stores in GTA Online are open and busy. Traffic is still smiling. People are still walking around. Even the existing stadiums in the game are still open and you can still watch short game films for a small fee. You may have to lure a random finder into the tank, but life is like that Gta Online.
GTA it is not a complete escape from the emergence of the world. Last but not least, someone was talking to someone about how they had stopped him from his work. He was low on money and I had no doubt what would happen. In the back, I lead a baby. Another time someone came up to me in a hazmat suit and complained about the virus, shooting people who said they were infected. And sometimes I heard someone play, but their mic would sometimes pick up the news. It sounded like a report from CNN about what else, the virus and the rising number of deaths.
It looks like we players are bringing the dark news and reality of COVID-19 to the world Gta Online. But at least people in the virtual city of Los Santos don't have to wear masks or face loved ones who die in hospitals alone.
They still had to deal with runners and hit them with car bombs, but they were used to that. That's normal for them.
