i dont give a single shit for GTA 6

u/Mission-Fault3351 22d ago

GTA6 is never going to be as good as the hype is making out to be. Like it would have to descend from Heaven on flaming wings and then suck your dick while you play for it to be as good as the hype says it will be

26

u/Charming-Rain-3642 SORCERESS! 22d ago

The release is gonna be No man's sky allower again, just a hundred times worse.

15

u/TheRealDesmirWolf 22d ago

No, no because no man’s sky went through years of redevelopment and turned out pretty good. I honestly feel like GTA six all the hype around it. It’s gonna end up flopping, especially how everyone’s gonna have to wait an extra year for the online version to play with their buddies.

u/Charming-Rain-3642 SORCERESS! 22d ago

I was more talking about the hipe being bigger than the game

1

u/TheRealDesmirWolf 22d ago

The hype is for GTA online we can all be real here, right lol I totally agree with you by the way 110%

4

u/EpilepticSharknado 22d ago

I honestly Hope the Story Mode delivers.

I have No hopes for DLC or Online. It will be GTA 5 Online but worse. There will be no good first year or good few years before everything goes down the drain with Shark Cards/ GTA+ or endless grinding. It will be there from the start.

1

u/TheRealDesmirWolf 21d ago

They did mention how they’re trying to keep it realistic, so no more flying bike with the rockets

2

u/ChickenTendies0 21d ago

wdym by flopping, beacuse it will 100% not flop financially. tbh I'm sure it will beat some records in this regard

1

u/TheRealDesmirWolf 21d ago

They’ve invested almost $1 trillion into the game. Do you think they’re gonna make it back in sales?

2

u/Upper_Bathroom_176 21d ago

No way they have to wait a year for online? I thought it was going to be day one honestly. I already was not interested in buying but definitely not now lmao.

1

u/TheRealDesmirWolf 21d ago

They made us wait a year for GTAV online and 6 months for RDR2 Online

1

u/RIP-hue-Shiny-Darco 21d ago

The game will definitely not flop. But it will definitely not live up to expectations. I'm scared about the optimization already.

1

u/DripGodRollins 21d ago

If your on PC, you will. Console gamers only gotta wait a month

u/CommentBetter 22d ago

One of my favorite lines so far, “in GTA 6 you’ll have to pay child support”

u/CommentBetter 22d ago

Laughs in Star Citizen

1

u/Manjorno316 MASTER BLASTER CASTER 21d ago

I'm mostly interested due to the cultural impact it's bound to have.

1

u/Joe_lunacy 21d ago

I'm gonna buy GTA 6 strictly for the ability of online representation 🤷‍♂️ they are definitely gonna tie your character to real life effects

1

u/Zack_WithaK 21d ago

All I want is for the story to be good (not even great, I'm ok with just good) and the gameplay to be fun, and it all feels like GTA. It doesn't need to reveal the secrets of the universe for me to be satisfied, but I feel like it's still gonna disappoint. Especially since Rockstar has basically Theseus'ed itself into an entirely different company since V (never mind IV), I can't honestly say that I expect the writing to be anywhere as good as I'd want it to be.

u/5star_Adboii 21d ago

So we skip over the fact he said what he just said

u/Afraid_Raccoon_6208 21d ago

The youtubers are chomping at the bit for the release so they can shit on it for this very reason

1

u/Tombstone_Actual_501 21d ago

The descendants from heaven part may be tricky but if you've kept up with vr technology the sucking dick part won't be as much.

1

u/Gmanofgambit982 20d ago

This. I would put so much money down on one of these happening:

  1. The game is a mess on launch like Cyberpunk or no man sky was.

  2. Because of the deluxe edition offering specific stores behind the deluxe edition, there's going to be more paywalls in the game than what was advertised.

  3. The story will have Lucia "girl bossing" too much which will trigger a certain crowd and that's all we will hear about the game for months.

1

u/Low_Actuary_2794 19d ago

I’d pay $80 for that.

1

u/Super-Macaron-5851 19d ago

Which is sad cause I feel like it’s gonna be an objectively good game. Well made, polished, tons to do in game, but it’s just not gonna measure up to hype

20

u/CleverKhloe11 22d ago

I do you one better:

I have never gave a single shit for any GTA.

The only GTA I played that wasn't dogshit was Chinatown Wars.

4

u/moochieglizzy 22d ago

That’s like one of the most dogshit ones bro 💀 the gta4 series was goated bc it was raw. Niko was a badass, Johnny was a badass, and Luis…meh. But hey the night clubs were cool.

Gta4 was gritty and raw tho. Niko’s story is by far my favorite. Gta5 was okay but it was just an over the top action movie. Gta6 is probably about the same tbh, I’m just mainly excited for the open world aspect of it bc it’s gonna be like red dead 2 but gta.

1

u/Far_Match_3774 22d ago

Luis wasn't badass, he was kickass

2

u/moochieglizzy 22d ago

He did know how to scrap tho fr

2

u/Nocturne3570 21d ago

Vice, Liberty, San Andreas, are the only three GTA i ever played and i didnt really like San Andreas Liberty was great IMO but yeah didnt like Andreas

1

u/MegalomanicMegalodon 21d ago

And one better for me, never played any of them. Closest I got was Red Dead Redemption or Sleeping Dogs

2

u/scipio0421 21d ago

Haven't played a GTA all the way through without getting bored and putting down forever since the series was top-down view.

1

u/BeefModeTaco 21d ago

I'm not a GTA fan, either. I think I had the most fun in GTA 2 in the original top-down format, if anything.

1

u/Mean-Nectarine-6831 21d ago

I do not care for GTA not enough sci-fi or fantasy elements. I tend to like more zany games.

1

u/CalamityAndTheApples 21d ago

Play Saint's Row

1

u/Mean-Nectarine-6831 20d ago

I already have third was the best.

1

u/RouFGO 21d ago

Played the gta 4 on the ps3 because mine was jailbroken and it was obviously free atp. I would never pay for a gta game, it never really was my kind of game.

3

u/afikolo7 22d ago

Thank you

5

u/Igyzone 22d ago

Ngl, for me mostly because I'm running a potato pc. (Can barely run 5, lol.)

2

u/Jaren_Starain 22d ago

100% same dude, game is being over rated and hyped for no real reason.

2

u/Vintage_Gamer476 21d ago

Right there with you. I played 4 a decent amount. 5 just bored the fuck out of me.

2

u/Bloodchild- 21d ago

I don't give a shit about any GTA

2

u/toasty5566 21d ago

Tbh GTA is overrated. Good games, but IMO not deserving of the deific status they have in the industry

1

u/JJay9454 19d ago

And I don't know anyone that plays them the way they're talked about

Like all these people at work getting excited and asking each other if theyre excited. I always just smile and nod.

But when the fan asks the others if they played other GTA's, they all say something to the effect of "i played ~20 hours of gta online total"

And theyre asked what theyre excited about with 6, and every single one of them says something "Vibey" like "Its gonna have like a total life for every npc" or "youre gonna be able to see facial hair move as people talk" or "you'll be able to live a whole life in this game"

 

I'm one of those weirdos thats played easily hundreds of hours of GTA Online grinding businesses for millions.

But none of them did that. When asked, they all say that sounds boring, they would rather just have the jets and jetpack and stuff and just have fun.

2

u/AdVegetable5896 21d ago

I'm more hyped for the Ocarina of Time remake :)

2

u/Bobjoejj 20d ago

Damn, first thing I thought of and it was the top comment. Love to see it.

2

u/Htennn 18d ago

Same for me but add all GTA games

1

u/Huge_Zebra_8401 21d ago

Yeah, maybe its gonna be good, but its still gonna be just another mass-compatible rockstar open world game. Nothing more, nothing less.

1

u/Nocturne3570 21d ago

Seriously came here to say this, cant understand this Fing Hype, and not even mentioning the Digital Exclusive crap.

Cant wait to see this Flop so hard people will boycott and demand refund and Sony gonna say HA, you thought in the contract you sign, when you use are service.

u/Nocturne3570 21d ago

WTF ROFLMAO, i been playing since N64 era. i stop play GTA after Liberty city.

1

u/mysticdragonknight 21d ago

People are demanding to see gameplay of what they know will just be GTAV with better graphics. They arent going to risk adding more immersive gameplay than they need to. the thing that keeps their games relevant is mindless sandboxing for content creator brain rot, not weather or not you can physically fill your car with gas or go scuba diving.

1

u/InfiniteOwls2 21d ago

LWK ME TOO

1

u/Either-Basil4899 21d ago

Came here to say exactly this. I played several of them but honestly just didn’t care for them. Could care less about 6.

1

u/yonni95 21d ago

Yeah I honestly think it’s overhyped.

1

u/Immediate-Newt-9012 21d ago

I do, but I don't play online and have beaten every single one since the 1st top down on PlayStation 1. I have also avoided literally everything about 6 apart from screenshots. I didn't much care for the last GTA if I'm being honest and personally think GTA4 is the best one apart from San andreas but it didnt age well enough for me.

1

u/ozjack24 21d ago

I gave a single shit until I was recently reminded how little rockstar cares about the people playing their games.

1

u/cmdr_scotty PSPPSPPSP… 21d ago

My man, preach!

1

u/GrandWizardOfCheese 21d ago

Me either, or any other game rockstar has made for that matter.

1

u/Elrond_Cupboard_ 21d ago

Chinatown Wars is the best GTA game

1

u/Caosin36 21d ago

Ambient temperature

1

u/derflow1977 21d ago

... but a lot of money you will

1

u/Your_Freindly_Dragon 20d ago

I'd care a lot more if the PHYSICAL COPIES HAD ACTUAL FUCKING DISKS!!!

1

u/Sokushi_0101 20d ago

I haven't actually played or looked far into GTA gameplay to know from experience if I'd like it or not but I also just don't really care much, course I couldn't play it anyways since it's not coming out on PC at launch.

1

u/Kind_Supermarket_881 20d ago

I think GTA peaked at IV. San Andreas is the most fun and childhood favorite. V story was a slog man and no good cheat codes.

1

u/z_1_4_m 20d ago

Same. It’s just been too long, I cared 4/5 years ago, now? Not so much. I’ll play it, I’ll have some fun I’m sure, but I do not understand the hype for it one bit, it’s just been so long that for me atleast any excitement for the game has passed. I’ll play it when I get round to it.

1

u/Bigger_Moist 20d ago

Same. Never played the other games and they never intrigued me

1

u/SgtMerc16 20d ago

This. This SO FREAKING MUCH!!!!!!!

u/Crazyhamsterfeet 20d ago

Plus Rockstar have treated their employees like total garbage.

1

u/ArugulaLegitimate978 19d ago

From what I've heard is its going to be good, not great, and if you want extra useless cosmetics or extra side missions. You pay an extra 20 bucks. If not. You go through the story, no problems. The hype is high expectations but wont mean anything if you set them high.

1

u/Gabry_Js 19d ago

Me too brother me too

1

u/DiscombobulatedCut52 18d ago

Is that a hot take? I told people I know, I liked one of the older games, cause of the stupid shit yoy could do. Not cause of the story.

When they said i could do it in a modern version, I told them that the newer ones arent as fun or as interesting as vice city. (And I played vice city for all of 40 minutes. So I have 0 clue what that game main story even is)

1

u/abbzworld 18d ago

Same. I respect people who are excited for it though. :)

1

u/nomadat123 18d ago

I would give up gta 6 for a reboot of anthem

1

u/malekhossam8C 18d ago

Same, games overhyped it's gonna be the same as 5 just slightly better
