I liked GTA V, but after finishing it I drove around for a few hours and the never touched it again. I’m not really sure why.
I still go back to Vice City and San Andreas, somehow these worlds are just more fun. But like I said, I’m not sure why…
The graphics in 5 are great, the sound is great, but something is missing…

I just think that if you’re going to call something a grift, it should actually be one, because words have meaning. We can call it all sorts of other things. “Predatory” is a good one. I myself called it “shitty”. That’s not arguing in favor of a giant corporation. You can’t just pick your favorite negative descriptor when it doesn’t apply.
I’m willing to bet GTA VI’s single player, offline campaign will be groundbreaking.

Honestly, I’m not. Rockstar has changed their formula very little since 2008. But I don’t exactly have a lot of options for crime stories anymore, and they’ve been telling good stories for just as long as they’ve had this format.

Trump’s first and second non-consecutive terms.
#3 is gonna be a doozy if he’s still alive

#3 is gonna be a doozy if he’s still alive
Starting a comment with “#” makes it large, apparently

we’d make a bet. Trumps policies bankrupt 2k or Gta6 comes out

6 is never going to live up to the hype and will be riddled with micro transactions and GaaS shoved up its ass.
Stop paying attention to what the big corporations are pumping out. Go play something made my people that give a shit about the game and not the “potential revenue” it might create.
III, VC, SA, IV and even V are some of the
best(edit: best-selling) games of all time. No need for new ones -

Their Gangs and crimes stories are also weak.
SA was the only one that had something to say.

You are being pedantic. You derailed the conversation from the game to definitions of words, because your argument was shallow to begin with.

What makes you say that? What sort of things could they add that would make it better for you? I for one, would love the content that’s in GTA online to be available in singleplayer.

You called it something it wasn’t, either because you misunderstood the definition or willfully misrepresented it. That was the argument. The game can be criticized in all sorts of ways, but “grift” makes no sense here, assuming they’re doing what GTA V did and didn’t come up with some crazy new scheme that hasn’t been detailed yet. And even if the online mode was a deterrent to you, there’s a whole other part of the game above and beyond the online mode where you never have to even see that stuff that could make the game worth playing, meaning it wouldn’t be “just” a grift.

I don’t even care about GTA 6 anymore. It’s just going to be a grift anyway.
Why is this type of comment so popular on Lemmy? We are supposed to hate absolutely anything here for some reason.

I don’t hate everything. I hate the fact that GTA V has been milked for 12 years. I like other stuff. I like Apex Legends. Smash brothers.

remember: people who have something to complain about will post much more frequently. since the fediverse is smaller, these types of comments are found more frequently

I think GTA 6 will be an outstanding game, but I also think it will be Rockstar’s greediest release to date. I will make sure to consider everything before I buy it.

It’s a fantastic documentary; as an LA native, I recommend playing through the story to better understand our diverse culture of shallow rich folks, inner city gents, and meth-addled drug countrymen.
In fact, pirate it to truly honor my culture. Lol

Glad you’re getting upvoted for this. Every time I mention how outdated RDR2 felt at launch, I get downvoted. But it’s true. For a game about an outlaw, you sure have to follow a lot of rules to play the game as the developers intended.

Yeah for a “dynamic open world” it sure consists of a bunch of linear missions and rigged structure.
Thats a classic video and definitely one of the first I’ve seen outside of Zero Punctuation that has been honest about the GTA games.

Keep in mind that GTA V released in the PS3 - which is now considered a retro console.
