This was originally posted to c/games, but since that comm doesn't allow piracy they replaced the link with a youtube link.

So here's an alternative for people who don't like Youtube

Consistently uninterested in game previews built by companies selling the games. I never find them to be accurate representations of gameplay.

    Gameplay seems pretty much exactly what I thought it would be. Graphics are really nice. The lead guys voice sounds so put on that I think I would be distracted the whole time.

    trailer graphics are always nicer. you can make an in-engine render with irreal graphics settings if you can allow a few minutes long clip to be rendered in a few hours at 5 FPS

    I too thought that it was very good looking, but other than that, nothing that we haven't seen before... Perhaps just more of it.

    Bigger expectations = bigger disappointment

    Rockstar’s shooting mechanics have always been bottom-tier. Even if they made it better, it won’t be great. Hopefully, it’s fun with lots to do. Looking forward to getting this from voices38

    To preface, I'm not a GTA player at all, but I felt confused coming out of watching this. Like, It looks really good, but something about how canned the gameplay itself was, threw me off. It was too clean, like, throw in a couple of missed shots with the guns at least. Have the player not predict where every enemy is. I wanted to see ACTUAL gameplay, not hyper scripted, perfected gameplay. I know this is the same with a lot of preview gameplay, it might be in engine, but it doesn't give me a real sense of what it would look like in my hands. It always gives me a vibe of what are they trying to hide. My guess in this case is the lower than expected frame rates. Camera movements felt slow and deliberate, a common way to hide frame drops.

    Otherwise I think there are a lot of systems going on, and this is going to be one hell of a sandbox game, but I want to see the real thing before even considering playing it.

    For me GTA peaked with the originals in 1997-1999 and had a nice little comeback in 2013. Hyperreality is not what I need in games...

    what? are they also replacing invidious links with youtube links, inserting their own "si=" parameter to be even more "nonpirate"?

    Wasn’t this the thing they told everyone to subscribe to Netflix to see? Now all those people subscribed and they just tweeted it out?

    Rockstar and Take Two are such a fucking joke, why do you guys give them any of your time or money? This game is gonna be a huge disappointment and I haven’t even watched the trailer

    Am I the only one thinking that glorifying gangsters and guns can't be good for society ?

    No, there are many people like you who blame videogames for everything.

    Not only video games and certainly not video games for everything. I played my fair share of SHMUP and other kind of violent games. But this one really looks like a movie, I can really imagine kids identifying to the protagonists and reproducing that IRL. I wouldn't want to forbid it but still it disturbs me. I'm wondering.

    Cinematography is here for a century already. What amount of crimes is done because "Cool! I want to be like that guy with a gun"? I suppose a dozen in total during that whole century.

    If you want to go there : All US action movies have a gun displayed on their poster. The US is number one in gun homicide from a very, very wide margin. You can always say it's not linked. Other countries think it is.

    Yes, I will say that posters with guns are unrelated to the number of real crimes.

    Not the poster by themselves, but that means that for any US action movies, the hero is identified as a person with a gun. The gun is kinda the symbol of its power.

    One such movie from time to time is perfectly OK. When all of them glorify guns, you have a cultural problem.
