Metaverse, Roblox and Fortnite. All the buzzwords I needed to stop waiting for that game.
The more I hear about this game, more of a shit show it becomes.
If I have to play it with another human being, I will not play it. I play games to escape from the rest of the species not engage with them.
I’m sick of multiplayer too. I just want to play alone.
I hate how there’s so little trash talk, multiplayer games used to be fun but other than last week when someone was calling me “n word” over and over I haven’t experienced it this year
Might as well play verse npcs
Endless shitty trash talk is why most people gave up on public voice chat.
Thank you. 🙏 I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Solipsists unite!
I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.
This game is going to be monetised to high heavens.
It’ll be unplayable. GTA Online as it is, is barely enjoyable and mostly unplayable.
It’s actually completely unplayable for Linux users because of the new anti cheat.
A lot of the popular FiveM servers are pretty good imo.
and potentially their brand sponsors
Well, there it is. In-game ads in the form of “user-generated content”, from the sound of it. Also has paid mod vibes.
Hope I’m wrong and it’s actually great.
it’s not too late to cancel gta6.
We just want a good GTA game… Fuck this monetization bullshit.
I’ve been playing San Andreas on the PS2 recently. Man, I miss that era of gaming.
Makes sense, considering what people have been doing with it like with Fivem. Players did more to extend the life of GTAV (and IV) than Rockstar.
Yeah took them years to recognise the value in FiveM. At first they trued banning its makers, even sending private investigators after one, and accused it of being a tool to facilitate piracy. Then they changed the rules to allow non commercial mods online in 2022, and finally bought the makers in 2023.
I still find it a bit bizarre they’re not launching on PC at the same time as the consoles. Its the PC landscape where all the modding comes from, and PC is the single biggest gaming platform. But in fairness simultaneous launches are risky, and PC launches are more complex in terms of the breadth of hardware that needs supporting. But it’ll be PC that facilitates the most user generated content.
On consoles it is much easier for them to control the user generated content.
I will also assume whatever tools that are planned to be implemented into the game to allow user modification are still very much in their infancy, so yeah a PC launch just makes all that much more complex.
Sounds awful.
Fuck off trying to describe anything as ‘a metaverse.’ That’s like trying to own ‘an internet.’
If there’s more than one, there are zero.
With buzzwords like metaverse being thrown around, I’m imagining a GTA6 that has brand partnership NFTs. Like when Madden/FIFA added Nike items in 2023.
But that would never happen, since GTA is known for satirizing brands and corporate behavior, right? Besides, these brands would never want to be shown alongside gamer-generated content…
I was going to be mildly upset I couldn’t play multiplayer If I pirate it. Now I’m dodging a bullet.
The now I hear about GTA6, the more confident I get that my pessimism towards this franchise’s future is warranted.
No Dan Houser, no Lazlow Jones, hell - probably NONE of the same dev team at all from GTAV (let alone earlier).
This is likely going to end up some weird “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” style monster where some gatcha/shark card filled “live service” is going to go around masquerading as the next entry in this franchise.
I doubt the writing is going to be as good. I have a feeling it will be seriously watered down slop.
I thought this franchise was dead, the last game came out on the 360
GTA online apparently made them a crazy amount of money so it’s going to be more of that type of game for a long time.
GTA V Online already are those in a way, no? I can’t blame them for leaning into it. I’m not interested anyway.
