GTA is the exact same formula since GTA3.
Sure you get a different story, visual upgrades, and some newer cars. But you’re not paying for a new gaming experience, it’s essentially become what people made fun of CoD or Nintendo games for.
In that sense you’ll get the same thrills from past games. That’s also why I didn’t give a shit about anything past 3, because I like to play new games not reskins.
I think it’s only survived because it is in this niche of socially acceptable “cool” games. You can admit to playing GTA to almost anyone and your not as much a “gamng nerd”, but if you like a fantasy RPG your some basement dwelling dweeb. Honestly they are not all that different from each other.
I’m down with a boycott. Let’s do it.
Lol luna pulled the gog library. I was in the middle of kcd2. I said fuck you. Got my self a nice gaming rig, set it up just like I had it on my TV with controller. And done. Now I’m back to normal.
People have the power to shut down bad practices if they had even a modicum of restraint. They don’t, so here we are.
It’s kind of disheartening not having solidarity as consumers. It also feeds this kinda FOMO because you showed restraint and are missing out on something.
I’ve come to terms with this. I view fomo content as disrespectful and I do not support the companies that use it as a tactic.
Did I miss something or is gta not associated with Sony at all besides being console first for a while?
They announced that they’re not releasing a disc version just a few days before sony announced they were going to phase out discs for the playstation.
They’re both going diskless/digital downloads for games.
It does feel like the average person has the self control of a toddler.
The entire generation after the Millenials are impulsive and raised entirely on being nickeled and dimed to death.
I don’t understand this. Do something else.
Somebody do something
Somebody do somebody
Somebody find me somebody to love
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.
The last good GTA game was GTA 2.
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.
look…at this point I don’t know why we keep complaining about it. there are still plenty of people out there who just don’t give a fuck about physical media, price points, industry profiteering, etc. we just have to accept we don’t have the numbers to make a difference. I feel it’s an age thing for one. when I was younger I couldn’t wait for any this type of stuff. if I didn’t have money I’d bug parents for it, sell my shit or whatever to get the new hot thing…then I got older and didn’t care as much and now couldn’t give 2 fucks. I’ve become patient and wait out for cheaper pricing, better content, better reviews even though I could buy 10 of anything new that comes out…I want to make better decisions about giving money to companies that don’t exploit their people, so on but there are not enough of us to make a dent so we abide and continue to influence others to our side until we have more who believe like we do. having all these streamers review content doesn’t help. they add to the hype. for them it’s business so they pump this shit up and hype it up and people eat it up because they have the self control of a toddler, amen. touch some grass y’all and then play a little skyrim…
Or
Buy official or pirated physical disc media, pay $0 after optional initial purchase, forever own purchased or pirated+torrented movies
You have to protect your rights, no one else will
GTA VI will have no official physical media :(
Gamers are so impatient these days. I guess all that instant access via online platforms has spoiled them.
I still remember when you ordered physical games via mail and had to gulp actually wait a 1-2 weeks for delivery.
Either that or actually go into a store.
Back then you really looked forward to a game and you actually played and finished it. Also, patches or updates were either rare or non existent depending on the platform, so Devs actually had to release a complete game. There were no DLCs, there were expansion packs, if anything.
I never understood people who need to have a game or a piece of hardware on release day. There will always be bugs. When it comes to hardware, I always wait for at least one revision, before I pull the trigger. As for games, I no longer pay more than 20€ for a game. It’s on my wishlist, I only care about the single player experience, my backlog is huge, sales happen all the time,… I can wait.
I guess all that instant access via online platforms has spoiled them.
And FOMO. I think many active gamers follow youtubers and other gaming content on social media, so they’re afraid of spoilers too.
That’s the reason we can’t have nice things: the MoFos that will follow along when Evil Inc. does evil thing because they just can’t live without the latest wrinkle.
I never understood GTA online. For me GTA always has been a great single player series, so get fucked with your stupid Rockstar Launcher.
