    GTA5 was out for like three years on PC before I bothered with it. I found it to be… fairly mediocre. There’s nothing in GTA6 that would make me feel otherwise. I’ll eventually play it… at great discount, or not at all.

        Well that’s a crazy take, you can just say you don’t like the Rockstar narrative open-world shooter style.

      Yeah I genuinely don’t understand the hype. Maybe I’m just old and fully saturated with GTA already.

        nothing special but rabid fans and worth a billion dollars, it’s the Taylor Swift of video game franchises

        Maybe but it’s also sloppified. I mean, a casino? Really? GTA V Online lost the irony and became just bad.

        I liked it, but I only owned San Andreas, played a bit of IV and LCS, then V, so I haven’t really reached GTA fatigue yet

          Nothing will ever top GTA 2 for me. That was such an awesome game. It was just stupidly fun.

      I thought it was pretty cool, as a crass story, mockery of aspects of corporations and society, and as a driving sim. My least favourite part of any MMO is its griefing potential. Fallout 76 was okay because while you, a roleplayer/gamer interested in the game, still got hurt by griefers only interested in murdering other humans, it reduced damage to a miniscule level.

      GTA V Online required that you either secede from society entirely with a private lobby or become a true pacifist, meaning no PvE. Later on they stopped selling exclusively weapon-free vehicles to players and the entertainment level of free roam for me dropped to zero. After that it became just a hub for racing, FPS or sitting in the apartment watching TV, all of which can be better achieved elsewhere.

      I started playing GTA 5 shortly after launch and could make the same statement.

      I’ve bought launch day on this series for a few iterations now.
