Idk why but I had more hype for Oblivion Remaster than GTA6. I legit don’t care about this anymore. Anyone else?

    My problem with GTA VI that prevents me from getting excited for it is that the PC version is going to come out in like 2029 and my computer will assuredly not be able to run it

    The only redeeming aspect would be if they added a luigi-dance style bounty system to off CEOs, but I don’t know if Rockstar would go there now compared to what they were down with in the early days.

    The game will have one (1) decently fun mission involving mechanics that actually have to do with crime, which will either already have been done better by another game or will be shortly after it releases, buried under a mountain of half-assed satire of American pop culture, a wAcKy CrAzY protagonist that no sane person would ever be able to empathize with, and some shitty tacked on tennis mini games.

    I assumed there must be a new trailer or something from this post so went and watched it… and it just feels like, sorta nothing. Ambitious crime power fantasy - check. Sizzle reel of action moments - check. But nothing else.

    I went back and looked at the second trailers (traditionally the more story focused trailers) for the other 3D GTA games and all of them have more plot hook, more characterisation, more vibes. This one doesn’t feel like it has any humour or satire (despite GTA’s usually being pretty ropey). I have no idea who the protagonists are as people, in terms of personalities or conflicts or whatever. Hell, the one sentence video description has more plot detail than the trailer.

    I’d go and eat food and do shots with the Matty Matherson character, but I don’t think anything else caught my attention at all.

      yeah gta v character has interesting hook (like Trevor being pretty much the stereotype of how GTA players actually the game) meanwhile gta 6 protagonist so far feels like blank slates based on the trailers.

    I will wait for the FitGirl Repack before I touch this game. I will watch the gameplay vids of silent youtubers out of curiosity though

    It’s going to release a buggy mess that won’t run on anyone’s hardware and packed full of ridiculous micro transactions

    stale gameplay slop story

    I’m vaguely interested since the weirdo head writers have left the company so maybe the satire will be a bit better (press x to doubt) and I sort adore their horrible gameplay, so I’m probably going to ask for it for Christmas or birthday and see if I can goof off for a few dozen hours.

    If I ever get a PS5, I’ll just buy the physical release like 4 years after it comes out.

    No way in hell I’m paying $100 for a fucking video game.

    Haven’t paid attention to it at all, but I’ll probably play it when it comes out. GTA V was a lot of fun, I played it when it came out and was just replaying it a few months ago and it holds up really well.

    I have never played a news-making game less than a year after it came out, and have no desire to.

    I play games but you’re not gonna see me getting hyped for what’s about to come out. After all, there are already so many of them out there!

      Last big-hype game I wanted to play was Cities Skylines 2. It was exceedingly obvious that they rushed the development just based on how little time passed between the announcement and launch. I told myself I’d wait a year before buying/playing it so they could fix all the inevitable bugs and other bullshit.

      It’s been a year and a half and from what I gather it’s still not fixed and probably never will be. People are complaining about exactly the same shit that they were at launch.

    Im curious about it and I do plan to play it BUT I have no problem to wait for at least for 6 months to a year depending on the state the PC version releases in . This is a game where I legit wouldnt have a problem to wait 18 months or something if it turns out to be a rough day 1 release for PC.

    There are games that I had to play day 1 like Baldurs Gate 3…GTA 6 isnt one of them.
