The Crew is basically Great Value Forza Horizon. A lot of people have picked up on that.

Does that game let you travel across the entire US mainland, minus Alaska and Hawaii, continuously in go? If not then it isn't.
Not like we can confirm that anymore, the game is dead. All we have left is second hand accounts like videos or reviews. Killing existing games is just as bad pozzing games as far as I am concerned, even if the game was shit then it still has a right to exist(even if only to be forgotten).

Most of the modern AAA industry have been taken over and co-opted by racist activists and gender weirdos. The best thing anyone (who has a brain) can do right now is literally ignore the lot of it. Now I'm not saying go full Matt Walsh and ignore gaming entirely. Anything from modern AAA devs needs to be flat out just ignored. A lot of us are already doing that, and you can see that it's having a big impact. I've been building my Steam library with a lot of older games and Indies. Ignore the grifters (on both sides, not just theirs). Giving grifters on our side attention and clicks isn't doing any better.

Do we already have a thread of good game recommendations to make here, or does one need to be created, 'cause I feel like that's a thing we need.

GTA6 will be a flop. It can't not be a flop. Logic dictates it will be a flop.

Pre-orders of it will still set new records.

Wondering if they are still going to do the one year console beta test exclusive thing again.

Absolutely they will. Day 1 sales will set new records. People will say "see, it sold infinity billion copies, how can it be a flop?!".
It'll flop because it won't have the 10 year legs that GTA 5 has.

Wondering if they are still going to do the one year console beta test exclusive thing again.

Rumours say yes. Very tinfoily rumours say Rockstar wanted to launch cross-gen to catch those sweet, sweet dollarydoos but settled on console exclusivity to encourage double-dipping and, like you say, use console normies to beta test the game.

They'll buy it in the millions, for sure, just like they did with RDR2. The normiefags will talk about it non-stop, just like they did RDR2...for a week and then never again.
An anticipated follow up a massively popular franchise that is bigger, has better graphics and is meant to be better in everyway, has killed a lot of games. RDR2 and Cyberpunk are recent examples.

What are you talking about? RDR2, apart from the online (it can't compete with GTA online DUH) was a massive success, and Cyberpunk while it flopped at launch seems to have been redeemed by that anime and the DLC. I don't see at all how these two exemplify your point.

There's a lot of users on here that think if something they don't like isn't in their face 24/7 for 5+ years, it means it was a failure.

Never mind that RDR2 is still consistently in the top 25 games played on Playstation and Xbox, and consistently in the top 50 for Steam. If they don't hear anyone talking about it 5 years later, it must be a failure.

Edit: This isn't even getting into the fact that player retention really doesn't mean shit when it comes to single player games.

Do we already have a thread of good game recommendations to make here, or does one need to be created, 'cause I feel like that's a thing we need.

We've got the WIP KF Guide to Woke Games thread and there are a few other recommended games threads floating around but we could absolutely use an updated one.

Which goes double when all "physical" releases are mostly cardboard discs with download codes inside.
Some people are either just plain retarded or shit trolls. Besides, more than half of my steam and non-steam library is full of games that are either no longer available in retails, or weren't ever available to begin with. And I'm not paying a 30% in extra for shipping, reseller's long nosiness, and customs fees.

"pirate it then"
if the scene didn't went to shit, if denuvo didn't kept hiring people that cracked their ransomware disguised as a program, if maybe more people didn't demonized the scene and pozzed it beyond belief, maybe we'd have actual release instead of Skidrow putting bitcoin miners into their cracks. Some games have not been cracked to this day.

You've based both of those points on feelings, not facts. Cyberpunk is still terrible, was so bad at launch it was one of the most refunded games in history and, even worse, was pulled from Playstation stores. The DLC polished the turd, but it's still a piece of shit that fell way short of what was promised.

RDR2 was a massive success on launch, the same as GTA6 will be (imo). It was forgotten by the normies after a week. Source: listening to normies not stfu about RDR2 for a week, followed by "I'm bored of it" when asked if they still play it.

Compound that with the tight-rope walk that GTA6 has to walk; keep it so edgy that it pisses off the trannies leading to moaning, or make the humour [current year] and risk pissing off the fans.

Last I heard of him was that his wife divorced him. Also there’s this compilation of all the times Cumtown made fun of him:

He was recently in a Jeopardy Tournament of Champions and came in second. Maybe they made him up for TV but he looked less scuffed than usual. Maybe not endlessly tarding out online has done him some good.

Once again, RDR2 is one of the top played games on ALL platforms.

I'd have to ask what normies you're talking to, and what games do they *not* become bored of after a week?

Googled: Most played games on all platforms:
RDR2 not in top 25
Googled: Top 100 played games of all time
RDR2 (sold 61 million units) is on that list, alongside a whole host of games. Can't find data of where it ranks in the 100 or if it's in that list because of the sales figures.

I'll admit, it was/is a popular game, no point in me retardedly arguing against facts. We will see what happens when GTA 6 drops.

You claimed that their points were based off of feelings. Then said Cyberpunk is terrible because it was bad at launch, but now it's still shit based on your own feelings.

Cyberpunk 2077s reviews have switched gradually to positive since launch on steam. Phantom liberty launched with high ratings on steam and maintained them, on Metacritic the DLCs ratings are a bit lower at 7.5/10, and youtube reviews were very positive as well.

Your stupid. You literally did the same shit you bitched about.

---

Also, complete unrelated but this Metacritic review of the DLC is hilarious

0/10

I hate Phantom Liberty. The base game was surprisingly good, so I got this DLC on sale for $40 CAD, regret buying it, not worth paying for! Total waste of money. The DLC story is agonizing copaganda garbage, the DLC areas are 1000x glitchier than the base game content, with excruciating loading times. You get no choices to impact the narrative, you have to become a cop and save the president. You have to team up with murderer-cop Idris Elba to fight beige military bros. and repeatedly help the police. Base game is good, don't waste your time with the expansion. Regret it.

I just don't give much of a fuck what others think. I have my own thoughts, if they line up with others then they do, if not, they don't.
Imagine caring what others think.

Who cares? The crew map is a barely functioning broad strokes copy of "America" that's entirely inaccurate. They couldn't even get the basic interstate system correct. Also the Crew had probably the worst programming I've ever seen, it would auto set my sound for everything to zero in and outside of the game. So trying to play it fucked up my settings so bad, I'd have to spend more time fixing what it fucked up than I could playing it because it also liked to crash every 10 or 15 minutes

I think he's trying to say.

"Cyberpunk 2077 was a super hyped follow up from the smash hit Witcher 3 studio - then the game came and and was dogshit. People will be much more wary on the next game from that studio."
"GTA5 was super hyped up from the smash hit GTA studio - then the game came out and wasn't as fun, as funny, or as good as previous titles. People (who don't care about GTA Online) will be much more wary about GTA6 then they were about GTA5 as a result."
"Red Dead Redemption 2 was a super hyped up sequel to RDR - then the game came out and was 20 hours of solid game in a 100 hour wrapper. People will be much more wary about RDR3 then they were about RDR2".

GTA5, RDR2, and CP77 all (partially) succeeded on the momentum of previously successful titles that the new sequels aren't going to have as much of. CP77 was a disaster and the general feeling of GTA5/RDR2 is "a whole lot of game but not a whole lot of fun".
RDR3 is far away but GTA6 is already expressly stated to be "more culturally sensitive", "having a female protagonist" - on top of following several key Rockstar departures (Houser, Lazlow) and the terrible release of the GTA Trilogy from 2021 is going to have a lot of people waiting to see if it's any good.

If that's what he's saying - I agree. I don't think either game will "flop" but I don't think they're going to eclipse GTA5/GTAOnline's success by any reasonable measure unless there's a sudden reveal or indication the game is going to be good.
