Really looking forward to the FarmVille mini games in GTAVI

Just to be clear, “cult-like following” does not mean “cult favorite.”

So comes the Trevor’s meth farm dlc.

I can’t wait to play Grand Theft Farming.

Definite upgrade for the Farmers Daughter

T2 arent the makers they are the developers

Take-Two are NOT the 'maker' of GTA

Take Two tapping into that vaunted demographic, boomers who don't know how to turn on a game console.

Sorry, off topic. Please read my account before insulting me. I am a pensioner in Russia. I'm asking out of need. I feed stray cats - I can't leave them (I tried, I can't), the pension is small ($250 month), maybe you can help me? maybe cat food? maybe a retweet? Thanks Cats
