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
Trump's first and second non-consecutive terms.
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

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.

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.
III, VC, SA, IV and even V are some of the ~~best~~ (edit: best-selling) games of all time. No need for new ones
Really aren’t. GTA has had the most dated mission structure since part 3.
Their Gangs and crimes stories are also weak.
SA was the only one that had something to say.
Glad you're getting upvoted for this. Every time I mention how outdated RDR2 felt at launch, I get downvoted. But it's true. For a game about an outlaw, you sure have to follow a lot of rules to play the game as the developers intended.
Man, I tried multiple times to get into RDR2. I really want to like it, and I love RDR. But my god that game feels like a job with all the small things you need to remember to do.
Man, even the gun system annoyed me. I'm fine with them having like 4 slots or whatever it was for weapons, but I remember so many times riding to a mission on my horse, selecting the guns I wanted to use and after like 50 feet Arthur would decide "welp, I'm not using these guns, better shove em back in my horse" leadong me to not having a gun ready at the start of a mission. I think that was the straw the broke the camels back for me, just hold the guns I selected Arthur.
Couldn't agree more, the weapon system is incredibly frustrating too. I solved that problem simply by using a trainer to mod all the weapons to have the same stats. That way I can just use whatever gun Arthur grabs and not worry about it.

I think GTA 6 will be an outstanding game, but I also think it will be Rockstar's greediest release to date. I will make sure to consider everything before I buy it.
As greedy as GTA V was with its multiplayer, Rockstar has a history of releasing a good single player base game before they start with that, and looking as GTA VI leaked map, I don't see that changing now. It'll definitely be nothing more than a single player experience for me though.
Plus, were might have to wait one or two years to play it on PC, especially on Linux, so there's a lot of time for considerations...

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
No.. no that's impossible... fuck. 14 years, huh? I remember it was 11/11/11 and there were ads for it on city buses, and I thought "wow i guess video games are mainstream now"
Have you tried having another kid?

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
I'm still salty that Rockstar seemingly broke GTA V for Linux on purpose. I poured hours into Online and loved the Community I found, so it's a real shame they shut out Linux and Steam Deck users for good by adding BattleEye without Linux support. I was pretty much done with the game by then, but that move solidified my personal boycott of Rockstar.
Online ist dead. 5 mins in and I'm getting headshots from a guy across the map with a K:D of 3000:1. Everything online costs real money or endless grind. Waiting for 15 mins in a lobby, only that the host logs out 2 mins into the mission.

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.
Gotta love Steven Ogg.
12 years ago? But I haven't finished GTA IV yet. Time goes so fast :(
Probably I will play it only when I retire…

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.

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.

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...

In two months Skyrim will be 14.
And don't get me started on F-Zero.
Scooter brother!
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.
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.
