The now I hear about GTA6, the more confident I get that my pessimism towards this franchise’s future is warranted.
No Dan Houser, no Lazlow Jones, hell - probably NONE of the same dev team at all from GTAV (let alone earlier).
This is likely going to end up some weird “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” style monster where some gatcha/shark card filled “live service” is going to go around masquerading as the next entry in this franchise.
I doubt the writing is going to be as good. I have a feeling it will be seriously watered down slop.
Metaverse, Roblox and Fortnite. All the buzzwords I needed to stop waiting for that game.
The more I hear about this game, more of a shit show it becomes.
Right? My response has been “it’s dead to me” for about three press releases now.
It’s been dead to me since they dropped talk of expansion stories on gta v.
GTA is dead. What they are calling GTA today, isn’t. The multi player trash killed the franchise.
For the vast majority of today’s gamers, gta v is all gta has ever been so I’m sure it will sell well but gta v was the weakest gta in the series because they pivoted hard in a direction that has nothing to do with the original concept.
The point was starting from nothing with a story that lead to be top of the areas crime world. The moment they added a never ending competition where no one can ever achieve full domination of the environment, the escapism died.
Whoa. Are well articulated positions still allowed on today’s Internet?
Tbf, i enjoyed the shit out of gta online. For about a month.
it’s not too late to cancel gta6.
I thought this franchise was dead, the last game came out on the 360
GTA online apparently made them a crazy amount of money so it’s going to be more of that type of game for a long time.
If I have to play it with another human being, I will not play it. I play games to escape from the rest of the species not engage with them.
Thank you. 🙏 I’m glad I’m not the only one.
I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.
I’m sick of multiplayer too. I just want to play alone.
I hate how there’s so little trash talk, multiplayer games used to be fun but other than last week when someone was calling me “n word” over and over I haven’t experienced it this year
Might as well play verse npcs
Endless shitty trash talk is why most people gave up on public voice chat.
With buzzwords like metaverse being thrown around, I’m imagining a GTA6 that has brand partnership NFTs. Like when Madden/FIFA added Nike items in 2023.
But that would never happen, since GTA is known for satirizing brands and corporate behavior, right? Besides, these brands would never want to be shown alongside gamer-generated content…
Basically GTA VI is Rockstar trying to monetize FiveM and so on? How they expect to work until the game is released on PC?
They will monetize GTVI like GTAV, they will double/triple dip with exlusivity on both hardware (console) and PC launcher (Epic): customers wallet voted for this to the bone.
We just want a good GTA game… Fuck this monetization bullshit.
I’ve been playing San Andreas on the PS2 recently. Man, I miss that era of gaming.
Best GTA imho. Been trying to get it to run on an emulator with no luck for a while now.
Oh, that sucks! I’d say just play it on a PS2 because modding has gotten easier and cheaper for it these days, but I recently priced out some options for my cousin and it was way more than I thought. Like, if you get a system that boots but can’t read discs for $30, that’s a pretty good deal! And the easiest and cheapest option is a $20 memory card from AliExpress that you can load FreeMCBoot on, and all your games. But then you have to add in the controller, and those as-is systems usually don’t come with a power supply. And you likely need an HDMI adapter. I don’t know if you can put the whole thing together for under $100.
There’s only one GTA game for me:
gtados.batI was going to be mildly upset I couldn’t play multiplayer If I pirate it. Now I’m dodging a bullet.
Sounds awful.
GTA V Online already are those in a way, no? I can’t blame them for leaning into it. I’m not interested anyway.
Basically. Though official scripting support is what turned Roblox from a social lego game to one of the largest videogames on earth. In my own time on roblox, the biggest thing was cloud persistence for the scripting API that allowed people to make studio-level games.
Modding on GTA is still technically unsupported and unofficial. You really have a restricted sandbox for anything that R* will accept on their servers.
GTA is more like a secondlife or club penguin than it is a roblox atm.
EDIT: so modding is going towards an “official” capacity apparently. That’ll be what turns GTA from clun penguin to Roblox, proverbially.
This game is going to be monetised to high heavens.
It’ll be unplayable. GTA Online as it is, is barely enjoyable and mostly unplayable.
A lot of the popular FiveM servers are pretty good imo.
It’s actually completely unplayable for Linux users because of the new anti cheat.
that is true for every single multiplayer game. they will not bother to make anti-cheat for Linux
Not exactly, I play Halo MCC online, Dead by Daylight, Splitgate, etc. Lots of multiplayer games work fine for me. I use EOS btw
Even worse, there’s no worthy benefit for kernel anti-cheat. Linux players are being excluded for reasons that have no purpose for players.
I don’t know what these two sentences mean
So the reason why Linux players can’t play is because the anti-cheat hooks into the kernel of the OS. And the anti-cheat is made for the Windows kernel. It is entirely possible for them to make one that is compatible with Linux but they won’t. Besides, hooking into the kernel does not offer complete protection against cheats.
So hooking into the kernel is unwarranted given that the anti-cheat software is potentially able to transmit malware and observe everything on your computer since it has direct access to the kernel, even though cheating is still possible.
Fuck off trying to describe anything as ‘a metaverse.’ That’s like trying to own ‘an internet.’
If there’s more than one, there are zero.
