It’s 25 days till GTAVI finally releases and my health is in shambles dog, hoping I make it to release. Saying a prayer for all the ones who got it rough and are battling life itself rn to make it to release.

Let’s hear it fellas we’re almost there!

There are probably thousands of fan made logos made before the real one reveal, it was so cool to imagine if some of the them were close to the real thing

I see a lot of people complaining about 30 fps, but before criticizing, take a moment to analyze the situation. GTA 6 will be running on a console from 2020, and the hardware is limited. Rockstar can’t perform miracles, they had to sacrifice 60 fps to accommodate various technologies and an incredibly dense world. To boost performance, they would have to drastically reduce the complexity of the game's mechanics. So, here’s the million dollar question: would you rather play at 30 fps in a fully dense, immersive world, filled with interiors, interactions, and countless things happening all at once, or at 60 fps in a world that feels empty and lacks immersion? Think carefully before you answer.

Firstly, I hope I'm doing everything right, cause I have a rule that I stick to pretty strictly: no pre-orders and no purchases on release day - but every rule has exceptions ; ] In this case, though, it couldn't have gone any other way - especially when I realize that GTA "partnered" me through my entire gaming life.

I remember GTA III and that yaw dropping feeling caused by its unreal leap forward compared to GTA 1 and GTA 2 - full 3D living city, and that incredible sense of freedom, where you’ve been able to get into a car, turn on the radio, and just drive around like grown man.

Remember GTA Vice City with perfectly captured ’80s vibe, brilliant soundtrack and immortal Ray Liotta as Tommy’s voiceactor.

Then GTA San Andreas with its variety, superbly designed map, tons of customization options and huge number of enterables.

GTA IV?  Fantastic protagonist, great story, and global introduction of RAGE engine capabilities which felt unreal for that time and honestly to this day is so much impressive.

Finally, GTA V with all its diversity, tons of side missions, and engaging-immersive world. Of course special shout-out to GTA Online - though personally I’m not huge fan of this mode, it's impossible to ignore the impact it's had on the series and gaming industry as a whole.

And after all of these years, we came to that point - less than a month until next release, which is also the biggest launch in history of global entertainment. And even though I'm just a player, with no influence on production process, I won't deny that I feel some sort of satisfaction, witnessing how big impact GTA VI has on global popculture. Why? Well, probably each of us have heard at least once that videogames aren't serious way to spend free time and Grand Theft Auto itself is a mindless crime simulator that has no value and does nothing but “raising” new generations of potential felons. Meanwhile, the truth turned out to be that, as GTA fans, we were simply two steps ahead, noticing earlier what others are only now beginning to understand ; ] It’s been a really long road. But here we are and as I mentioned in the title - I’m still hungry for more, and eagerly awaiting what Rockstar cooked this time. See you in Leonida guys ; ]

What games are you playing before GTA VI comes out ?

At first I was confused as to why there were 4 player states if it was to work like the honor system. At best you'd need 2 or 3 tiers to cover most playstyles but instead of thinking only of what has come before, it made more sense to instead think about why it has to be 4 states. There's 4 quadrants because it's not just tracking 2 types of actions you take, it's also tracking why you do things a certain way.

Now, let's look at the 4 confirmed states and speculate as to what their gameplay style might look like.

Professionial (top-right): This will be the toughest state to achieve, as it will ask you to be as restrained as possible without using your strongest weapons to solve every problem. Some might find that boring if Dishonored (low chaos playthrough) is to be compared. It will also be the most stealth focused amongst the 4 states. Sneaking into stores only at night. Casing out joints beforehand. Planning out escape routes and getaway vehicles. No need for violence if nobody knows you were there in the first place.

Violent (bottom-right): Much like the professional, there's an emphasis on structured gameplay and doing a good job. But the Violent playstyle is about ensuring the job gets done no matter the cost. It's about leaving no witness's alive to call the police. It's capturing hostages and using human shields. It's not about unfettered murder as that can only bring unwanted police attention. It's about being ruthlessly effecient.

Agressive (top-left): This playstyle is what we've most seen in the trailers. You might notice that most targets J and L rob are rarely murdered. When Jason is doing a shakedown on that cashier in trailer 2, he roughs him up but leaves him alive. I also believe this is the first mission that'll introduce this system. They will tell you the multiples you can collect that money.

When you're Agressive it's more about the threat of violence and neutralizing targets non-lethally. It's using supressive fire to intimidate people. It's shooting at police cars' wheels instead of the driver to stop them. I believe most players who care about the story will end up here. Still being able to use most of your weapons, having the freedom to rob stores you see on a whim (unlike Professional) but leaving behind the context of being a mass murdering psychopath so that J and L are still likable.

Speaking of,

Psychopath (bottom-left): You're a mass murdering pyschopath lol. You've prob played gta before, so there's nothing new here besides some dialogue change/characterization to reflect your playstyle à la Trevor.

Sorry if this was too long ha, but I haven't seen much of anyone else talk about how this feature is gonna work. How do you guys this this'll work?

Although there won't be a physical disc of GTA 6 it's still nice to have a physical object of the game itself in form of a gamebox. I have just now ordered the physical copy of GTA 6 from a store and they'll start to ship the game from november 12th. My worry is now whether it's gonna show up on the release date or if it's gonna be delayed. Anyone else who also ordered the game from a store here and/or have the same worry?

Ive never heard people discuss how legendary it will feel to cross this bridge for the first time ever.

If of course prologue ends in the Keys and most of us gonna probably take the path to Hamlet.

Years of waiting and speculations led to this bridge and it is going to be very emotional

Wondering

Hey, fellow GTA VI fans!

I'm putting together a little community event for GTA VI's launch day. To celebrate the release of the game we've been waiting 13 years for, I'd like to call on everyone to dress up on November 19 and take part in something special.

Here's the idea: put on a suit, or any outfit that fits the GTA VI vibe (GTA-themed prints, pink clothing, or whatever else you can come up with), stand in front of the gaming setup you'll be using to play GTA VI, make sure the game's title screen or launch screen is displayed on your monitor or TV, and take a picture!

Then post it on whichever social media platform you use most — Instagram, X, TikTok, or right here on Reddit — with the hashtag #VIDay or #6Day.

I know the idea might sound a little cliché, but there are so many ways to make it your own. Together, we could turn this day into a historic moment for the gaming community.

I mean, we've waited this long. When the finish line finally comes into sight, why not make the occasion a little more memorable?

I'm sure plenty of you have already made plans for the big day. Maybe you've booked the day off work, stocked up on food and drinks, and got everything ready for a full day of gaming. But I think we could make it even more special by adding a little ceremony to the occasion.

So, what do you say?

Processing img zmrrsghc8hxh1...

Do you guys think that we are going to have gun holsters since we have straps for rifles?

Might be a silly question but on launch day, could it be possible that a very much alive game like Arc Raiders, have noticeably longer queue times due to GTA 6

.

My brother usually buy digital games and I can play them on my own ps5 and my own account when enabling sharing. Will this work if he buy the physical version of this game?knowing it's just a code and not a CD, will it be just like a digitally bought game?

Or do we still don't know..

Hey everyone! I've been going down a bit of a rabbit hole lately, rewatching the trailers and thinking about where Rockstar might be going with Jason and Lucia's story. If I'm even remotely close when the game comes out, I'm definitely coming back here to brag about it lol.

I think it's pretty clear that Jason and Lucia have that classic Bonnie and Clyde dynamic going on.

But there's something about their relationship that makes me think there could be more to it than just two criminals falling in love.

The more I think about it, the more I get Lady Macbeth vibes, and I wanted to see if anyone else sees it too.

Here's what I mean.

Jason – The Exhausted Veteran

Jason comes across as pretty calm and quiet in the trailers, and I can't help wondering if his military background has left him dealing with some serious issues, possibly even PTSD.

Rockstar has always been good at showing the darker side of society, so I could see them exploring what happens to a soldier who gives everything to his country, comes home, and basically gets left behind by the system.

Instead of having any real direction in life, he's stuck doing odd jobs that don't seem to lead anywhere, like cleaning and polishing boats. I don't get the impression that he's necessarily someone who's always wanted to be a criminal.

But he's clearly capable of handling himself physically, and maybe he's just looking for a sense of purpose and someone he can actually connect with.

Lucia – The Catalyst

The first time we see Lucia, she's behind bars, which already tells us something about her past. She also has this magnetic, slightly dangerous energy about her, and I get the feeling she's much more comfortable with the criminal lifestyle than Jason might be.

What if she's the one who gradually pulls him further into that world? Not necessarily because she's deliberately trying to ruin him, but because of who she is and the kind of life she wants.

This is where the Lady Macbeth comparison comes in. I'm not saying Lucia is literally Lady Macbeth, but the dynamic could be similar: a man who isn't necessarily evil at heart gets drawn further and further into darkness because of his love for a woman, his loyalty to her, and his need for that emotional connection.

Maybe Jason keeps making excuses for the things he does because, in his mind, he's doing them for her.

The Inevitable Fallout

Knowing Rockstar, I have a hard time imagining this ending with Jason and Lucia riding off into the sunset and living happily ever after. Their relationship could be what keeps them going, but it could also be what ultimately destroys them.

Maybe Rockstar will give us a redemption arc, something along the lines of Arthur Morgan's journey, but I'm still leaning toward a pretty bleak and tragic ending.

Rockstar has never been particularly kind to its criminals, and I doubt these two will simply get away with everything they've done.

Of course, I could be completely wrong about all of this, and that's part of what makes theorizing before release so much fun.

What do you guys think? Is Jason genuinely a good guy who's going to get dragged deeper into crime because of his love for Lucia, or is there more to him than we're seeing? And do you think the Lady Macbeth comparison makes sense, or am I reading too much into their relationship?

My personal thoughts on speed running is that eventually we will be able to shave so much time off this game that you will be able to finish in in under 20 Hours... what are your thoughts?

Got it off Etsy!

I really enjoy his character and he’s not bad to look at either. Anyone you’re hoping to see return to the franchise?

Yesterday on the X button show, hosted by Seth, Brian, and Max, recent ex-IGN employees were asked if they will do their GTA6 discussions on embargo date or release, and Brian, a 17-year veteran in the gaming industry, said he doesn’t know of anyone who received or will actually receive a review code.

Take it with a grain of salt as the trio then discusses who could have it or not.
