I don’t even care about GTA 6 anymore. It’s just going to be a grift anyway.
Damn we got FenderStratocaster not caring about GTA6 before we got GTA6

We don’t need to know about the state of your weinor, buddy.
it’s hangin’ in there
we’d make a bet. Trumps policies bankrupt 2k or Gta6 comes out
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
Being negative riles people up and earns more updoots
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.
There aren’t any micro transactions in the single player mode. Pretty stupid take.
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.
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.
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.
Honestly they could have released single player DLC for V and made a load of money without having to even develop VI
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.
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…
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
Have you tried having another kid?
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.
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.What are you talking about, there’s a new Elder Scrolls release every year. Skyrim Remastered, Skyrim Deluxe. Skyrim Limited Edition. Skyrim for Switch. Skyrim Premium Deluxe for Switch, the list goes on.
But what about TESO?
Don’t you put that evil on me!
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.
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
GTA VI I feel is going to stretch about 4 generations of gaming before ever seeing VII.
GTA V has started in the PS3/360 era, went through the PS4/One era, is sitting in the PS5/X era and we’re now about 2-3 years away from the next gen of gaming to happen.
Also it is hard for me to believe we got both GTA IV and GTA V in the same generation.
There’s possibility that GTA VII will come faster. Rockstar does waves on new engine versions. GTA I + II, engine switch, GTA III, VC, SA, engine switch, GTA IV, GTA V, possibly engine switch?, GTA VI, GTA VII? Or some offspin?
Problem is, they smelled online money so dunno.
12 years ago? But I haven’t finished GTA IV yet. Time goes so fast :(
Probably I will play it only when I retire…
You expect to retire? Ooooh, fancy!
Retire, too old to be hired, tomayto tomahto.
Hey cousin! Let’s go bowling
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.
Digital hoarding! Welcome to the club.
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.
Oh, I get those ones as well and…
Tomorrow is free game day!!
Me too, don’t have prime currently so I am always looking out at the free games and giveaway communities if someone is sharing.
Wait, I didn’t know this about the Amazon Prime free games. So they’re distributed through GOG?
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!
For some reason this made me feel much older than knowing GTA V launched 11 years ago. I grew up with an NES.
Last GTA I played was vice city, I think that was on the PS1.
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…
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.
I’m glad it’s not just me. It’s a lonely experience.
In two months Skyrim will be 14.
And don’t get me started on F-Zero.
Hmm, maybe it’s time to try out that game
The online mode a not worth it unless your idea of a good time is getting blown up ever 5 seconds
You can do private lobbies but you gotta have friends to have people to play with.
On the PC front GTA-RP servers are alive and thriving and very safe and stable at this point.
Scooter brother!
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.
All the story DLC ended up being modified for online.
You mean you didn’t buy it four more times for various platforms over the years? Wow, that’s impressive 👏 Do you do that with all games?
I bought it, played a little, but was working 60 hour weeks.
Housemate starting playing on my savegame, so when I next got back to it, I had no idea what was going on.
Haven’t gone back to it since, though I have nearly finished IV a few times now.
I tried to play through it recently. Game was OK, but fuck their stupid launcher. I want nothing to do with GTAO, so why do I have to load into its menu every single time I go to play the game and suffer through a bunch of ads to play a fucking single player game I paid for? I uninstalled about ten hours in. I might pirate it. It’s probably a better experience.
