I still can’t get hyped for GTA 6.
Same here.
I’ve enjoyed all games in the franchise before and if it had come out around 4-5 years ago I might’ve cared but now I’ll wait before it gets ported to PC and then I have to upgrade my HDD space to SSD’s because fuck me I guess
Wait, you aren’t on SSDs yet? Damn, Windows was unbearable on an HDD even a decade ago.
Windows runs off a 500gb SSD but all my extra drives are HDDs and I can’t afford to upgrade :(
Ahhh fair. So you’re not completely miserable. Fair tho
I never cared that much for the franchise myself. I can have a bit of fun with it but I never got why everyone was so obsessed.
its original appeal is that it’s a game that caters to jocks too, not just nerds, while for nerds it’s still a fun sandbox-esque game. granted, those lines have blurred a lot in the past 13 years since gta 5 and especially in the 18 years since gta 4, so it’s more of a series riding on past fame and goodwill these days while promising to make bigger and bigger games every time. but it’s the jock angle why the series got popular in the first place.
Ads. Lots of ads. Ads disguised as social media posts and news articles. Ads performed as independent youtubers. TONS of money on advertising to make people feel like they will be left out if they don’t play that game
Even if you ignore everything else, it’s still the most ambitious and massive piece of interactive media produced by humanity so far.
Besides, every single player GTA and RDR game has at the very least been good.
I’ve played the shit out of GTA 5 and good amount of RDR2, yet I can’t get excited for 6 either. Part of it is no PC version and no hope of online mode even being an option on Linux, but I also think that their game design is outdated and late for this era in a number of ways.
Our current politics are less conducive to GTA’s simultaneous promotion of capitalism and cultural satire of America. We’re in an unacknowledged depression that is rapidly taking away the accessibility of gaming. A lot of the coolest tech that Rockstar has is locked away under patents, making most of its advancements meaningless to the rest of the industry. I just don’t feel attached to the setting and it’s coming out at a time in my life where I’m less interested in playing that sort of game. I played GTA 5 on launch and was absolutely blown away by it, but that won’t happen this time around. I might play it in half a decade when it’s been long ported to PC, but like RDR2, I’ll only appreciate its merits and not its hype.
Maybe so. I have played three installments of GTA… but my last one was GTA3. I don’t plan on changing anything regarding that. Maybe I am the outlyer but I feel the game is so extremely hyped there is only one way it can got when it hits reality.
I am biased, because I have played almost every single GTA game (besides the early top-down ones) and grew up with them, so I am definitely biased, but I do feel like GTA VI will be one of the biggest games, maybe of the 5 years. It is something to look forward to and possibly enjoy (even if you pirate or buy the game). Better to keep an open mind, even though Take Two and Rockstar haven’t been the best of companies during the last few years, but they hopefully are better than most of the other big companies.
Rockstar already isnt better than most because they’ve been union busting.
I agree, but compared to other companies, they at least (according to them, which can be very wrong) are working on getting a better company feeling and vibe (sorry I’m drunk currently, so my words aren’t best)
That’s nice, but I wouldn’t trust any of those words until they have actual effect. Promises, especially from a company as big as Rockstar, don’t mean anything.
I’m sorry to tell you your hope will be dashed.
Depends on those hopes, I’m expecting good and improvements to overall gaming world and so on.
You state that as if it’s a fact. It’s just your opinion.
If you mean the rating of Rockstar games, it’s as close to a fact as it can get. Ratings for every GTA since 3 up to RDR2 has been, on average 90+/100. Each game is considered a cult classic. It’s the consensus.
What else needs to happen for a piece of media to be considered “good”?
Sure but that’s not measuring ambition or impact, just what individual players/cricits thought of the game. That has nothing to do with what you said.
Also, forgot about this when typing the initial reply, but your claim was not that the game was “good”, it was that it was “it’s still the most ambitious and massive piece of interactive media produced by humanity so far.” (literally copied from your comment).
How is that claim not a fact? Do you know of anything more ambitious or expansive?
Whichever metric you choose, resources invested, size and detail of the world, size of the script, there’s nothing that compares.How is that claim not a fact? Do you know of anything more ambitious or expansive? Define ambitious and expansive. If by expansive you just mean big world, that’s not saying much. And by that definition there are even more expansive games, ones that are procedurally generated for example. And the term ambitious is even more ambiguous.
resources invested Sure, but that doesn’t say anything about the quality of the game or your claims of “most ambitious and massive”.
size and detail of the world We don’t know anything about this besides marketing.
size of the script We also don’t know this.
there’s nothing that compares. You’re right, because there’s nothing to compare. The game hasn’t released yet.
Historically, Rockstar hasn’t lied about their claims. This isn’t about ads or hype it’s just extrapolating. Every entry has always been the most ambitious and their claims held up. Until they lie, one can safely assume the next one will be as well.
Not to mention there’s plenty of official and leaked gameplay footage.
Also, I never said that just dumping resources into something makes it good, but it certainly does make it ambitious.
Never slop
How you id as slop?
The bottom left image looks cartoonish, closer to digital art than a picture, also, the person looks younger than in real life.
The style matches slop output.

If I were him, I would peace out and play video games too. Gives time to do the repair work with your own family too.

Did he break off something with his family?
Usually your partner disapproves of cheating
Cheating in taxes, cheating in house work, cheating in snitching?
Consentual sex isn’t cheating if partners aren’t monogamists. Pretty sure Lori Huang was poly.Pretty sure Lori Huang was poly.
Same one you believe she was mono.
Yeah, most people are mono due to heteronormatism. If you’d like to present me with things that make her different to the median person, I’ll believe you, just like I believe she has two legs even though I never saw them.

Ok I’ll try my hand against this ragebait.
The fact that these were affairs means by definition his wife wasn’t approving or aware of these sexual escapades.
Being polyamorous is not a free ticket to have sex without your partner(s) consent. Every poly community places high importance on communication, trust, and mutual consent. Cheating is entirely possible in polyamorous relationships.
Source: I am in a closed three-person polycule.
Affairs by the paparazzi, or Lori’s own words?
Being poly
Polyeros here too👋. There’s no statement made public that Lori didn’t approve of Jensen’s communication, trust, and mutual consent. We do have a lot of monos jumping into conclusions the couple haven’t announced.
Oh I already have you tagged as the weird person who defends cheating calling monogamy liberal propaganda or something
-
show me your tags, lowkey interested
cheating calling monogamy liberal propaganda or something
the fuck? Better question: why do we care about Huangs’ relationship stati? I haven’t been provided evidence anything in the relationships are breaking anything, except shareholder value.

After how Rockstar treated GTAV online, worker issues, and their views on Linux I could not give less of a shit about GTAVI
Agree on all the others, but for GTA VI they’re actually launching without online, so that might be a positive even.
He couldn’t see another way out, so he asked China to get him a girlfriend, so that he could play GTA VI
I’m gonna try this with my job today.
