the most highly-anticipated video game of all time…
Ehhhh I guess, if your asking the kids that play online. Everyone I know and have seen really does not care about it. They jumped the shark with all the online bs.
Yeah.
You just KNOW there’s going to be more online microtransaction-y bullshit in 6 because they made SO MUCH from 5.
Makes it hard to be more than I’ll-wait-for-reviews-and-the-first-sale interested, personally.
I still think a commentor in another thread said it perfectly. GTA 6 will likely be a single player sample of GTA Online 2
I predict the online parts of GTA6 will bleed into the single player game. There will be things your SP characters can access only if you have unlocked it in online. Garages, cars, weapons and suchlike. Maybe even money. Will be done as though your online char is part of your SP gang or something.
I bought the ps3 copy on release and tbh enjoyed the sp greatly
I retried it on xbox x recently to play through again. It somehow felt wrong. I can’t put my finger on why kinda took some of the interest out for me. Zero interest in any of the online billshit either.
Kind of a pitty as I have been playing since the original top down game.
My over all interest is probably the same as yours
I’ve been playing since 1 as well. 5 completely killed any desire I had for the series. There’s some good things in it, it’s not a bad game or anything. Definitely something off though, I agree.
It was the overall downgrade from 4 that stood out to me. In 5, guns sounded worse, the driving became way too arcadey, the story was less tight and the three protagonists were more disjointed and Franklin was grossly underdeveloped, the city lacked diners etc to go eat at etc and felt less alive, no vigilante missions, NPCs were squishier residual in hand to hand, the car damage models are boring and less detailed than 4… I could go on.
5 was bizarrely a huge step back from everything they’d built towards for 4 that it’s no surprise 4 has remained hugely popular and maintained an incredibly active modding scene to keep the game looking youthful.
I think you mean “they jumped the shark cards”.
It’s not like they care anyways, it’s all just a live service now because they’re raking in the cash. I’ve resigned to probably not being able to play this series again at this point.
I think you mean “they jumped the shark cards”.
I layed it up, you dunked it in.
people talk shit about bethesdas loading screen fetish but holy shit gta online is waiting simulator: the game
try to join a deathmatch, race or a heist and you will be loading and waiting in menus forever
I don’t play, but that’s probably caused by users with potato connections or extremely high ping being allowed to connect to the server. Pretty common problem with online games.
Iirc, there was a bug with the games loading config parser being written so horribly bad what should take a second took 5 minutes…

Oh wow, so it has literally nothing to do with connecting players to the server or with each other? That is wild they wouldn’t have spent the time to fix it given all the money it makes, but hardly surprising.
GTA 6 trailer is currently sitting at 206M. It’s not my most anticipated game (MH: Wilds!), but I would be delusional to think any game is more anticipated that gta 6 right now.
Only if Elder Scrolls 6 were to somehow be announced to come out by the end of this year
Right after the HL3 trailer.
GTA 5 was highly anticipated, even before anyone knew anything about online. GTA 6 is highly anticipated for the same reason. It’s a massive IP and most people just play the singleplayer anyway. Just because you and your friends don’t really care, doesn’t mean it’s not going to be the biggest launch of the decade (well, in history probably). I’m skeptical myself and will see what it is like once it comes out, but I can’t say I’m not interested in another GTA game.
Not everything is a contest. Calm down.
Replied to the wrong comment?
Nope
Then I don’t understand why you got defensive… whatever
I don’t actually play GTA online, but they are very successful with their online offering, their daily low looks to be >60k concurrent players. I suspect it’d be VERY hard not to continue with the online bit.
I mean, just the trailer became the highest viewed youtube video in 24 hours, which is not music. I’d say it’s highly anticipated.
You could say they jumped the… SHARK CARDS!
On the contrary, I was going to ask you guys here, am I wrong to believe that there is zero interest in GTA 6? Or at the very least, people don’t care about a game that won’t be released for a year and a half?!?
I honestly don’t care because I’ve had it with both Rockstar and Take Two with their bullshit. I had already sworn off buying GTA6 before they ever announced it.
If the story mode is decent, I’ll buy it on sale for $10-15 in 2028.
You’re assuming there will be a story mode!
I’m still waiting g to buy GTA 5 for cheap
It was free on epic store a while back.
Yeah, I dont use epic store
I just get the free shit lol.
Nah, Im good
I play GTA V Online a lot and the extent of my excitement ended when I saw the release date. I’ll just stay in my grind-y billionaire simulator for now, dont know anyone else who cares about VI rn
Half Life 3 is the most anticipated video game of all time.
That would be true if Half Life 3 was a game that existed and not just a dream
A false delay announcement is a 500 IQ move because R* will look really silly if they really have to delay it after denying
Shocker
