GTA V is mostly just commuting and racial slurs. I can’t understand why people think that it’s fun.
I actually felt Mankind Divided didn’t resemble Prague all that much. the sidewalks in Prague are made with smooth white and black stones. it seems like a simple enough detail to include but they overlooked it, I guess. It was also way more open than in the game. also a lot of pedestrian tunnels everywhere, some large enough to have stores in.
i visited old prague last i went to czechia. being able to walk places is nice, though its marred because my family lives in some rural mountains so… still gotta car to get there. visited it from the airport then went to family’s place.
tbh despite being a czech citizen i havent really been to prague much. usually just fly in and go straight to the rural area where my family is. ive considered coming in during pride when covid is less of an issue and hanging out in prague then to make up for lost time
probably one of my favorite settings in a game of all time
Unpopular opinion: Housing in the ideal socialist society of tomorrow will be closer to old Prague than to the modern high-rises surrounded by greenery that most leftists seem to like.
it doesn’t work everywhere (especially in more dense cities populous countries).
It can result in sprawling concrete jungles like this
In Beijing for instance, you can see older parts of the city being demolished and replaced with high density buildings
Completely agree. A lot of Soviet housing was very flawed and while modernism and brutalism can be neat, an entire city with only that architecture can be suffocating.
I tend to agree, since I think that we tend to fallaciously view the addition of technology/industrialism as a positive even when it doesn’t appreciably improve living conditions, with the caveat that the ideal socialist city of tomorrow should probably be apportioned to the population density of the city in question. I wouldn’t want to roll up to densely packed community and force them to spread out in order to chase some idealized version of an Eastern European city.
