I'm not buying it because Rockstar and Take Two are shitty greedy assholes.

    I wonder what the DRM situation will be like.
    Will they have some hopped up version of Arxan that's gonna be super hard to crack?
    Or is the PC Release delay good enough that they aren't particularly worried about piracy?

    Of course given the popularity and antecipation I'm sure there will be all forms of groups trying to take a stab at it, but I still wonder how it'll go down.

    The game won't run without an armed agent pointing a gun at your head who will pull the trigger if you ever start enjoying it the wrong way.

    GTA IV was the last one I've ever owned. Been tempted by 5:00 a few times but I have got enough games that I'll never play. I don't need it as well.

    Okay after watching this video, I figured out what the deal is with this game I don't connect with: Netflix. They all wanna do their games now like it's a Netflix show. Not just Rockstar, but all of the major companies.

    Graphically... it looks great. If what we're seeing isn't just all post-effects they slapped onto the video.

    The dudes voice I don't like. Apparently I'm not the only person judging by some of the comments I've read heh. He just sounds like a doofus white guy. But an unfunny one at that! And they're somehow making his voice sound Deeper? Like if 1990s, Point Break, Keanue had a deeper voice I guess is what they are going for? The problem like some others have pointed out is that the voice doesn't match what we're seeing as the Model.

    Eh. Anyways whatever. I'm old. I prefer the old school goofy cartoon GTAs over this Netflix Amazon Movie shit they put out now. I'm not big on Hyper Realism these days. Kind of over it really. That's just me though.

    I get some of the very well deserved hate for Rockstar but come on, it's one of the best looking games this year, and the fact it looks like that on, an apparently baseline, PS5 is nuts.

    In a few years when they port it to PC and we we can throw it at a high end graphics card, it's going to look like real life. And it's clear that there is more then just graphics here.

    Mind you, I have no idea how they are going to handle the online mode as GTAO was terrible. I hope they do better with that.

    This wasn't meant as either criticism or high praise. It looks like a GTA game is supposed to. I mean gameplay-wise. This is good for people who like GTA and anyone else won't care. The game will probably be fun and have tons of stuff and minigames to play.

    Well it would be difficult for it to look like any other game it's not like they're going to add puzzle elements. But it does seem to be a bit more realistic, it looks like you won't be able to just shoot the cops and then go hide underground in the train network, so that's a fairly major departure from traditional gameplay.

    Seems like a good game but the expensive price plus the fact it will be 30FPS on launch is a no-go for me. Will wait for PC release (if that ever comes?). Got enough backlog games anyway.

    Quite possibly. The other side of the coin though is that I'm sure Netflix wanted the deal to pull in new subscribers, so if options to watch it elsewhere prevent that from happening, that could still be a win.

    I've literally only just got a pc capable of playing cyberpunk so thank you for the mod list. - I won't dare, I never live down the mocking from my girlfriend.

    I wonder if that's why Rockstar haven't put in female playable characters from now. I don't think there was any in Ballad Of Gay Tony, I know there wasn't in IV main game.

    TBoGT was Luis, who was pretty much what VI's male protag (Jason?) should've been. He actually had a personality other than just being the big badass guy.

    I suspect the reason they haven't had female protagonists before is just pure male defaultism rampant in the gaming industry. Gamers would've made a ton of noise in the past. Otherwise, a game with Catalina as the protagonist could've been really interesting.

    I can't buy it. I couldn't find a reason to get a console this gen. So I'll be waiting for PC, and I got enough things to play for years in the mean time.

    The patient gamer strategy has always paid off for me, and I have to recommend it to everyone else.

    One of the games I finished most recently was Cyberpunk 2077. Great game worth playing today, not so great at launch. And on the CD Projekt topic, The Witcher 3 has also been on my to-do list for ages, and guess what's getting a remaster in a few more weeks?

    There are too many games out there to play in one lifetime. When most games seem to be in their worst state at launch, why rush to buy when there's so much else out there to try while you wait?

    Kudos to you for posting for the sake of denying them. I won't watch because I'd rather keep blind; I actually really enjoyed GTAV (once it was on PC and sold for next to nothing lol) and I'll probably get this several years after release the same way. I'm remarkably good at avoiding spoilers for unreasonable amounts of time (e.g. I found out the cake was a lie a decade after Portal released, lol).

    Also fyi, GTA games are generally good and you can tell the writers and world builders had fun with it despite their shit management. It's not a bad idea to pirate or buy at a strict discount to at least see the story they created. Plus, I'm an LA native and GTAV is practically a documentary!

    Thanks for sharing. I never judge from trailers but I don't think they will release a demo: it looks good but also the same GTA stuff, I was hoping for something more audacious and instead it seems innocuous at a narrative level. Maybe the first boring GTA? I think it will sell very good since it targets normies for the most but I'm very curious to read the critique when playtested.

    Characters, location, even scenarios seem generic as fuck. Lacking the spicy humor that GTA5 had.

    Seems like the writers have done the classic error of not endearing anyone to the player. I'm not drawn to or interested in finding out anything more about them.

    It’s like I’m taking crazy pills.

    3 months from release we get a trailer with some gameplay, and it doesn’t look exciting. The movement during the shooting looks clunky as fuck, and reminds me of the stick-to-cover games of late 2000s.

    I played all GTAs and liked both RDRs, but this just doesn’t pull me in. Graphics are great and I’m sure we have a huge map with lots of stuff to do, but the gameplay and mechanics seem dated.

    I'm old enough to remember exactly this discussion for GTA 3, 4, 5 and now 6.

    Yeah, they never announce it for PC early so they're not cannibalize console sales. They do this eeeeeevery time. Every single fucking time.

    It'll be out on PC in due time.

    RDR1 was a special case, San Diego didn't port their previous few games either which is why we don't have Midnight Club LA on PC for example.

    GTA is too big. It's guaranteed extra sales for a game they already have. Same with RDR2, it was heaps more popular than the first (which itself was more popular than expected I guess) so leaving it console exclusive was never really on the table.

    Isn't it co op? That's why they have two MCs.

  • source
  • parent
  • hideshow 2 child comments
  • [–] 2 points 2 months ago (1 child)

    No. The two MCs are who a single player can swap between. It's a single player gameplay mechanic. There is no co-op or multiplayer in the current release and the two protagonist stories will always be single player.

    GTA 5 had three protagonists you could swap between for the single player, so this is refining that dynamic.

    They'll likely release an online product sometime next year.

    I think it'll be a great game, but disappointed they don't want to release for me. I was so hyped I was going to buy a PlayStation, until PlayStation started their latest BS with discs. Now I'm forced to wait to give them money

    GTA5 lost me in the campaign, and I can't imagine GTA6 will be any better in that regard. Never bothered with the online features. I'm not even disappointed they aren't doing a PC release and doubt I'll buy it even if they do.

    I mean, just the idea that a purchase of the game amounts to tacit support of their union busting bullshit is reason enough not to buy it. Their games sell the gangster fantasy, but GTA6 as a product is basically the antithesis of rebellion.
