I wonder what pay2win mtx bullshit they're gonna peddle for GTA 6 Online. I miss GTA 4 online. I had so much fun getting into car chases with other players, glitching inside of the one building at the airport and taking out anyone unfortunate enough to walk by. GTA 5 online was terrible and I only touched it once. The fucking orbital cannons, the flying goddamn motorcycles with weaponry, the shark card bullshit. I hated it. I hope they smarten up for GTA6O and not do mtx shit, but I know they will. Greedy fucks.

Rockstar always fucks up their online shit. I quit playing GTA for the reasons you mentioned, in addition to all the fucking Chinese/Russian hackers. I used a PED dropper to amass around 300 mil, bought all the vehicles, aircraft, boats etc and then never played again. I was stoked when RDR2 was announced for PC but I knew the online component would be dogshit, and sure enough, it was. Dull and too grind-y.
 
Who's saying any of this?
Half the people angry at nogs being nogs. It's not the nogs themselves, it's the attitude portrayed.


You're talking about 60 seconds of contextless video that probably isn't even real gameplay footage.
None of the other trailers had this issue though. And given articles and interviews stating R* is done with their liberal approach to games and instead adopting more progressive stances and practices with their staff and games, why are you surprised that people are looking at this and being gloomy at it given the gaming industry's track record with being progressive and shit games?


All GTA games have been full of parody and mockery of various groups and sleazy or cringy characters but you didn't see any of that parody in the first teaser trailer that came out 2 years before the game, you only got to see that in the damn game.
See above. A company committing to kowtowing to tumblr politics never ended up improving their products. I guarantee you no one but the most committed racists would find as much negativity if this game were still lead by the same guys who made GTA 2 - V.


You have no objective reason or precedent to assume
Take that shit to the tourists; R* keeps saying they're a progressive company now with modern sensibilities, have made many diversity hires, and purged the toxic "frat boy" culture out of the company. FFS they bragged about it on Forbes and sites like Kotaku did victory laps around it. Look at GTA Online from 2018 onwards. If you genuinely believe there's no reason for people to be alarmed or cautious, you're being incredibly naive.

The RDR2 story mode was beautifully done, with a majestic setting, but Online remains very underdeveloped (as of six months ago when I last looked), understrength. GTA: Online seems infested with aim botters and flying 🏍. Land of cheats (I only rained money sometimes) and Shark carders. Again, I liked the story mode.
 
I'm just going to say.. I'm out.

I don't think there'll be any way to make Chica and Cuck interesting, and as nice as the wetlands and the Keys look, I don't think it's worth it. Gameplay will be decent, but you know there's just going to be something that they royally fuck up.

I'm tired of the grind, I'm tired of the awful writing, and I'm tired of the game industry in general. I know what my friend meant 10 years ago when he said he was done with the Game Industry and I wish I realized it sooner.

ANYWAYS.. This game is still going to sell gangbusters and will easily outsell the last one.

There's a difference between simply being cautious like you say now and whining that a game company is seriously trying to psyop everyone into yaaaasqueening the gratuitous display of twerking niggers shown in a teaser trailer to a videogame set in modern day Miami of all places, like you had any real evidence of that being the case.

It's just so tiring man. We can all agree that fat twerking niggers are disgusting, but it takes some mental gymnastics to draw the conclusion that the whole game must be full of BNWO propaganda. Maybe it will be, but I think it's retarded to dismiss the entire thing as case closed before we've seen any actual gameplay at all.
 
I appreciate the change to the hyperlink text on the Feature @Null or mod that did it. Big Studio known for making the same game for years but adding in DLC and coasting for years on a games as a service platform is making a new, even bigger, even more nigger (probably), and even gayer version of said game. HYPE.

They made (and still make) so much fucking money from Shark Cards they'd be stupid not to, tbh. Until people wisen up and stop buying the slop, they're gonna keep selling it.

It will be monetized up the ass in every potential way, don't forget who owns Rockstar. FiveM and all those admin powertrip servers turned out to be such goldmines that they bought out the team behind the whole deal, I'd take that as a precedent to what might entail in the online mode for this one.
