The multi-player maybe. But they’ve consistently delivered excellent single-player experiences with their flagship titles. GTA 3, VC, SA, IV, and V were all amazing. RDR1 was spectacular, and RDR2 may be the most impressive game I’ve ever played.
At this point, I trust Tockstar to deliver a good single-player game. I don’t really expect much in the way of the quality DLC we got with GTAIV and RDR, but I think the base game will easily be enough for me to justify a purchase.
I’m still gonna wait and see, of course. They’re not getting a pre-order out of me.
I’d agree with everything about the previous games. However, I think they made 10 billion dollars off of GTA online and wouldn’t be surprised if they focus more on that and leave the single player to the wayside.
GTA is a crime story video game. “Dishonest gambling” doesn’t mean “gambling I don’t like”. A science-based dragon MMO Kickstarter is a grift. GTA 6 is a video game.
Are you unaware that there’s a component of GTA 6 besides GTA online? Even in the online mode, they’re milking gamers for weak content using regular gambling. A grift would be like a carnival game that appears winnable but actually never is. For your gambling money, you do get “stuff” in GTA 6, even if you or I would consider it a poor value. I don’t know why a shitty online mode would make me want to play a good crime story single player mode less, but the mere existence of the single player mode easily makes it more than “just” that.
I just think that if you’re going to call something a grift, it should actually be one, because words have meaning. We can call it all sorts of other things. “Predatory” is a good one. I myself called it “shitty”. That’s not arguing in favor of a giant corporation. You can’t just pick your favorite negative descriptor when it doesn’t apply.

I don’t even care about GTA 6 anymore. It’s just going to be a grift anyway.
Why is this type of comment so popular on Lemmy? We are supposed to hate absolutely anything here for some reason.
I don’t hate everything. I hate the fact that GTA V has been milked for 12 years. I like other stuff. I like Apex Legends. Smash brothers.

Damn we got FenderStratocaster not caring about GTA6 before we got GTA6
Trump’s first and second non-consecutive terms.
#3 is gonna be a doozy if he’s still alive
Starting a comment with “#” makes it large, apparently
what?
That’s markdown for you. Increasing the number of #'s decreases the size.

we’d make a bet. Trumps policies bankrupt 2k or Gta6 comes out

I don’t think you know what grift means.
A group of methods for obtaining money falsely through the use of swindles, frauds, dishonest gambling.

Imagine witnessing the evolution of predatory practices in gaming for the past two decades and still arguing in favor of giant corporations.

You are being pedantic. You derailed the conversation from the game to definitions of words, because your argument was shallow to begin with.
I’m willing to bet GTA VI’s single player, offline campaign will be groundbreaking.
