    GTA 6 is a ‘singleplayer experience,’ GTA Online may be sold separately

    Rockstar Games and Sony seem to confirm GTA 6 will be a singleplayer game, possibly indicating that the next version of GTA Online could be standalone.

    … (bunch of examples of Rockstar repeatedly describing GTA 6 as ‘a single player experience’ consistently across all of its marketing material, everywhere) …

    This gave Rockstar lots of flexibility in how gamers interact with the game itself–which has splintered into two very distinct offerings–and many analysts believed and took for granted that Rockstar would simply ship GTA Online as a free component within GTA 6’s base game.

    If I had to guess, I would say that Rockstar is currently preparing to essentially translate the existing version of GTA Online, which takes place in Los Santos, to the other side of the country in Vice City’s crime-ridden streets.

    It’s possible we could see the current iteration of GTA Online go into retirement as Rockstar moves into the next version, however, all of this takes time and a lot of manpower and money, so it’s possible that the new version of GTA Online simply isn’t ready yet.

    GTA+ would probably be involved in this process in some way, potentially offering access to GTA Online by default while also adding in extras and bonuses like vehicles and weapons.

    So yeah my guess would be that they do a two pronged approach of either:

    You buy GTA Online 2 as a standalone game

    or

    You have a GTA + monthly subscription, which gives you both access to GTA Online 2, and also basically a ‘battlepass’ or w/e, monthly perks.

    But with the latter, stop the subscription? Well there goes your GTA Online 2 access.

    You can do both too, of course.

    They already figured out that you could split RDR2 and GTA5 into ‘singleplayer + multiplayer’ and ‘just multiplayer’.

    Why not just also have ‘just single player’?



  • Nearly totally unrelated but:

    So I’m on Bazzite, on a Deck, make the mistake of running a system update, with Steam open, on the day Steam massively updates itself alongside the SteamOS update.

    I futz around with Steam settings because I didn’t even realize anything had changed.

    Long story short, this somehow resulted in my internet adpater drivers… halfway unconfiguring themselves.

    Fortunately I was able to use a shitass tether to my shitass phone, roll back to a previous Bazzite version, which unfucked my network adapter / device, then re roll forward to stable, all back to normal, no data or apps lost or anything…

    But I had to actually pop into a shell session on boot, because the borked net drivers meant Steam couldn’t log in, thus no UI option to go to desktop mode… had to actually use nano and edit a conf file to boot straight into desktop mode.

    So that was fun.



  • We are so far beyond ‘the people who did this have names and addresses’.

    The people who fucking did this are the most famous people on the planet, at this point.

    Stop being afraid.

    Stop acting like anything they can bring on you is legitimate or justified.

    Like Howard Beale, I want you to get mad.

    Stop complaining on the internet, and start protesting loudly at every single physical place these people ever are.

    You’ll get arrested. You might end up put away for weeks or months… but those penalties will only get worse, the more power they accumulate, while we all just sit back and bitch about, uselessly.

    They are the system.

    There is no ‘safe’ way, according to the system, to meaningfully challenge it.

    Actually become ungovernable, instead of just being fucking catty on Twitter!



  • $100 if you want:

    The entire map / all interactive world locations.

    The entire story.

    Ability to customize vehicles.

    All of the game’s vehicles.

    All of personal cosmetic customization options, such as clothes, tattoos, makeup, etc.

    All of the weapon customization options.

    So really, the actual game is $100 dollars, that does not include Online, but there’s a slimmed down poor person edition available for $80 bucks.

    GTA Online 2 or w/e looks like its gonna be a monthly subscription to even access it.


    Oh also there are no physical editions.

    None.

    All digital, the ‘physical’ is just a code in a box.


    Now, the actual ‘extra’ content in the Ultimate Edition is an 80s/Vice City/Miami Vice cosmetic pack.

    But the reality is that the broke ass bitch version is a stripped down version of the actual game, which is the Ultimate Edition.














  • Here’s my approach to this, as a dude:

    I mean, really I don’t have a broad preference for or against bush at all…

    … but, if you want me to smooch things down there, please tidy up a bit.

    I just don’t like having a mouth full of hair.

    Don’t worry, I will tidy up too, for the reverse scenario, if partner also dislikes mouthful of hair, and! … this also applies to my facial hair… I’m not that attached to it, and it will grow back, if you want to smooch my face but don’t like the beard/stache.

    Maybe I am lucky in that I at least I think I look decent both with or without a beard/stache.

    This is to me completely fair and reciprocal, and … really is not that conplicated.
