Man I remember this photo. Bought V for 360, beat it and haven’t touched it since. After Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned I waited for a story expansion that never came.
Yeah, that is crazy to me. I understand them wanting to make other games in between and that making those games takes a few years each. Rationally, I’m on board with the decision-making and the math that leads to this.
But that the result is a generation who didn’t have an Elder Scrolls part released in their childhood, that still feels like far too grand of a concept.
I think GTA 6 will be an outstanding game, but I also think it will be Rockstar’s greediest release to date. I will make sure to consider everything before I buy it.
As greedy as GTA V was with its multiplayer, Rockstar has a history of releasing a good single player base game before they start with that, and looking as GTA VI leaked map, I don’t see that changing now. It’ll definitely be nothing more than a single player experience for me though.
Plus, were might have to wait one or two years to play it on PC, especially on Linux, so there’s a lot of time for considerations…
The problem with V for me was that they released content for GTA Online for years and completely ignored singleplayer. So many heists, weapons, vehicles, outfits, and game mechanics that would have been awesome to try solo, but were only available with a damn internet connection and in a world with other players. Thankfully mods fixed some of that. But it’s not the same because you mostly have to spawn things in with a cheat menu.
I pick up GTA V as an Epic store free game of the week. It was the gateway drug the sent me down the dark and seedy parth of collecting every free Epic game for evermore. I have Hundreds of games I will never play but I keep on collecting them. It is my vice, my drug.
Free games from epic games store is NOT hoarding. You don’t really own them. The minute epic decides they are done with that store, you are out of luck and all your games.
Getting free games via Amazon Prime from GOG however would be actual digital hoarding, since you can download and save the installer of every game there.
6 is never going to live up to the hype and will be riddled with micro transactions and GaaS shoved up its ass.
Stop paying attention to what the big corporations are pumping out. Go play something made my people that give a shit about the game and not the “potential revenue” it might create.
Glad you’re getting upvoted for this. Every time I mention how outdated RDR2 felt at launch, I get downvoted. But it’s true. For a game about an outlaw, you sure have to follow a lot of rules to play the game as the developers intended.
Man, I tried multiple times to get into RDR2. I really want to like it, and I love RDR. But my god that game feels like a job with all the small things you need to remember to do.
Man, even the gun system annoyed me. I’m fine with them having like 4 slots or whatever it was for weapons, but I remember so many times riding to a mission on my horse, selecting the guns I wanted to use and after like 50 feet Arthur would decide “welp, I’m not using these guns, better shove em back in my horse” leadong me to not having a gun ready at the start of a mission. I think that was the straw the broke the camels back for me, just hold the guns I selected Arthur.
Couldn’t agree more, the weapon system is incredibly frustrating too. I solved that problem simply by using a trainer to mod all the weapons to have the same stats. That way I can just use whatever gun Arthur grabs and not worry about it.
I’ve literally purchased a Xbox series X for this game, moved to and moved back from south Florida and it’s still not out…I can imagine this is live up to expectations but I also can’t imagine it won’t live up to expectations…
remember: people who have something to complain about will post much more frequently. since the fediverse is smaller, these types of comments are found more frequently
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.
It’s a fantastic documentary; as an LA native, I recommend playing through the story to better understand our diverse culture of shallow rich folks, inner city gents, and meth-addled drug countrymen.
I refuse to entertain the idea of PS3 being retro until at least next year, when it turns 20. Now you might say “okay then, GTA V also came out on Xbox 360, which turns 20 in about 2 months” to which I say… get off my lawn!
Though it was a completely different game than what we’ve come to know as GTA V after the PC release, in terms of graphics and content. And even then I remember grabbing snacks to watch the loading screen…
They’ve both been propped up by pay-to-win bullshit online games that have diluted the formula. I remember when GTA V was new (ish) and while the controls took some getting used to, and some of the minigames were bullshit (Rockstar games have wonky controls), the game was fun as hell. Zero interest in the online stuff. It never appealed to me. I did try Elder Scrolls Online, and also Fallout 76. This online shit makes them money, it’s a surprise they’re even bothering with a GTA VI. The next GTA Online is really what they should be focused on (though I’ll always root for the single player games). After the last couple Fallouts and Starfield, I don’t even have any hope for Elder Scrolls VI. GTA VI at least looks like it might actually be good. But screw paying $100 for it.
I’m out of the loop with GTA VI, but the last I knew of it the only thing they’d released was a cinematic, non-gameplay trailer. Have they released gameplay now?
Because once you finished the story there’s really not much sidemission for you to play, and the world suddenly feel very empty without the excellent characters. I quit the same way.

Man I remember this photo. Bought V for 360, beat it and haven’t touched it since. After Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned I waited for a story expansion that never came.
Meanwhile Skyrim came out the week my daughter was born, and she’s in high school now. We still don’t have a new elder scrolls
But what avout TESO?
Don’t you put that evil on me!
Its been that long 😅 no way
Yeah, that is crazy to me. I understand them wanting to make other games in between and that making those games takes a few years each. Rationally, I’m on board with the decision-making and the math that leads to this.

I’ve lived in the same GTA house longer than I’ve lived in any real home.
The cars I own in GTA V I’ve had longer than the current car that’s sitting in my driveway.
I think GTA 6 will be an outstanding game, but I also think it will be Rockstar’s greediest release to date. I will make sure to consider everything before I buy it.

I guess I don’t understand. I got V and paid literally nothing past that.
The experience was great. No one has to buy shark cards or whatever the hell they are.
The problem with V for me was that they released content for GTA Online for years and completely ignored singleplayer.

The multiplayer will be like that.
But I’m not here for that, and Rockstar and Naughty Dog are in the “haven’t let me down yet” club.
Honestly they could have released single player DLC for V and made a load of money without having to even develop VI
III, VC, SA, IV and even V are some of the best games of all time. No need for new ones
Really aren’t. GTA has had the most dated mission structure since part 3.
Their Gangs and crimes stories are also weak.
SA was the only one that had something to say.
I am speaking by number of copies sold. Actually valuing the games, what do you think is the most solid GTA?
If you’re just talking about number of copies sold, using the term “best” is confusing

Yeah for a “dynamic open world” it sure consists of a bunch of linear missions and rigged structure.
Thats a classic video and definitely one of the first I’ve seen outside of Zero Punctuation that has been honest about the GTA games.
I’ve literally purchased a Xbox series X for this game, moved to and moved back from south Florida and it’s still not out…I can imagine this is live up to expectations but I also can’t imagine it won’t live up to expectations…
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.
remember: people who have something to complain about will post much more frequently. since the fediverse is smaller, these types of comments are found more frequently
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.

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.
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 of GTA online? I’m talking about milking gamers for weak content for the next 12 years.

Gotta love Steven Ogg.
It’s a fantastic documentary; as an LA native, I recommend playing through the story to better understand our diverse culture of shallow rich folks, inner city gents, and meth-addled drug countrymen.
In fact, pirate it to truly honor my culture. Lol
Keep in mind that GTA V released in the PS3 - which is now considered a retro console.
I refuse to entertain the idea of PS3 being retro until at least next year, when it turns 20. Now you might say “okay then, GTA V also came out on Xbox 360, which turns 20 in about 2 months” to which I say… get off my lawn!
Last GTA I played was vice city, I think that was on the PS1.
For some reason this made me feel much older than knowing GAT V launched 11 years ago. I grew up with an NES.
Though it was a completely different game than what we’ve come to know as GTA V after the PC release, in terms of graphics and content. And even then I remember grabbing snacks to watch the loading screen…
Coming up on 14 years for Skyrim.
They’ve both been propped up by pay-to-win bullshit online games that have diluted the formula. I remember when GTA V was new (ish) and while the controls took some getting used to, and some of the minigames were bullshit (Rockstar games have wonky controls), the game was fun as hell.

I’m out of the loop with GTA VI, but the last I knew of it the only thing they’d released was a cinematic, non-gameplay trailer. Have they released gameplay now?
I liked GTA V, but after finishing it I drove around for a few hours and the never touched it again. I’m not really sure why.
I still go back to Vice City and San Andreas, somehow these worlds are just more fun. But like I said, I’m not sure why…
The graphics in 5 are great, the sound is great, but something is missing…
Because once you finished the story there’s really not much sidemission for you to play, and the world suddenly feel very empty without the excellent characters. I quit the same way.
In two months Skyrim will be 14.
And don’t get me started on F-Zero.
Scooter brother!
Seems about right. Feels like I haven’t played GTA for a decade.
Every now and then internet reminds me it’s a thing, though.
