They should've cut the price of everything by 50 percent to celebrate too. Oh well i'm just a greedy consumer.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

No GTA VI announcement lol

No GTA VI announcement lol

Yep, and even exactly ten years later. GTA 6 would be out in 2083 at the latest

I stand by my controversial opinion that I do not care at all for GTA6 and cannot empathize with those who demand it
Like, have you even looked at the absolute state of the industry? The absolute state of Rockstar?
The people at the helm gradually leaving? All the incompetent new hires?

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Fussing over the graphics of San Andreas is a bad idea. If you're going to bring it up to modern standards you have to bring modern draw distance with it or it will look wrong. If you bring it up to modern draw distance the illusion is ruined, so you have to expand the map to modern standards. At that point you're asking for an entirely new game with a level of effort like a main installment. What the fuck did they expect?

I still say that this is one of the best (if not highly enjoyable) missions that came from this game. Trevor’s ability to spot a bad drug deal gone wrong is hilarious.

And, to no one’s surprise, Ned Luke knocked it out the park with this performance in particular. His bit on sarcasm still is relevant in current day, even while not playing the game for so long.

You don't see the appeal in yet another installment of "empty sandbox where all you can do outside of story missions is mindlessly mow down endlessly spawning NPCs, and maybe do some mini games after you're done blowing your story money on the handful of clothing stores and/or making the same useless customizations to cars"? That's the pinnacle of gaming right there.

GTA 5 (the story) is fantastically formulaic in a beautiful way that scratches sick and twisted part of the mind that likes routine.
GTA 3 however is still a game I consistently return to because of the story, the characters, and overall "feeling" that it gives me.

GTA 2 is a banger.
GTA Vice City is also stupid fun, though I can't pin down exactly what I like about it.

I don't get the hype around 6; since outside of a "female" lead character, there's really nothing else to be done.

6 is not going to be mindblowing; it'll just be an updated 5

Faggy minigames like yoga and golf, no less.

I was like the biggest GTA fag there was, and now I can't even be bothered to install GTA V to see whatever gay 10 year thing they are doing.

I'm at the point where I think I might even skip on GTA VI altogether. I probably won't, but the fact I'm even questioning it says a lot for me.

 

[Odd Opossum]

I wonder what the story for Grand Theft Auto VI will be, if it's set in modern day Vice City. Grand Theft Auto IV took a lot of inspiration from The Sopranos in how it depicted the decline of most organized crime groups and Grand Theft Auto V was mostly about heists and dealing with two glowie groups fighting each other.

 

[The Last Stand]

GTA: LCS has the best music selection in GTA yet.

I've been playing the PSP version of Chinatown wars lately. As a kid I played it way more on DS which is probably what contributed to my poor eyesight. The simplistic nature of the game and the drug dealing side job is really addictive and fun. It goes to show the lack of repeatable side activities in GTA 5. They couldn't even add a vigilante mode to GTA 5 for whatever reason.

Same, when I was a kid I always saw the Rockstar logo as being synonymous with quality, playing games like Bully and CW. I might watch a gameplay video or two of GTA VI to see what it's like, but if the current direction is anything to go by it's not good.

Hood Safari was the one mission I replayed repeatedly along with the Paleto score.

It's amazing how GTA V has outlasted three presidential terms and three console generations. All the jokes R* has made against consumerism/capitalism with V's satire seem to aged like milk given how greedy R*/T2 has become with V. Almost like they took their own satire literally or are taking the piss of their fanbase with no awareness.

I'm at the point where I think I might even skip on GTA VI altogether. I probably won't, but the fact I'm even questioning it says a lot for me.

I cannot even hear "GTA 6" without wincing anymore. It's turned into a meme for YouTubers and any random Joe Schmo to clickbait for easy views and engagement.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

I want GTA 6 to launch, not because I want to play the game, but because the launch of GTA 6 will be the beginning of the end of Current_Year gaming.

If it bows to trannies it will kill the audience interest in the game. If it mocks trannies, it will face cancellation.

I'm not a doomer, i'm a realist.

Forget about its inevitable political correctness, what about its monetization? They already added a subscription service into V, and FOMO battle passes in RDO. What's next? The single player will likely handhold the player with heavy scripting.

Wb fag, good to see you posting again, I've missed your Clinton slobbering in the Politics thread.

The political correctness will kill any monetization, that's the best bit. I personally think that R* can't release GTA 6 and that's why it's taking too long. They can't release edgy humour because of cancellation, they can't release safe humour because it would be boring. They're stuck.

You can't monetize an empty fan base and I don't think enough GTA addicted whales would jump to GTA 6 if it receives the Harry Potter treatment, but they can carry on playing GTA 5, keep quiet and avoid the cancellation.

 

[Fuck Y'all]

lmao it will, that's head of biggest r* community

From Dan Houser himself about current day satire:

"It’s really unclear what we would even do with it, let alone how upset people would get with whatever we did,” he told GQ. "Both intense liberal progression and intense conservatism are both very militant, and very angry. It is scary but it’s also strange, and yet both of them seem occasionally to veer towards the absurd. It’s hard to satirise for those reasons. Some of the stuff you see is straightforwardly beyond satire. It would be out of date within two minutes, everything is changing so fast."

He's not wrong. Here's an example:

Now take a look at the 2016 US election. Not too dissimilar.
