I mean, we got RDR2 5 years ago and that game is a masterpiece. Yes, there is potential for the next thing to suck, but it hasn’t happened yet, so why be pessimistic?

I’m gonna look at reviews and gameplay first. But if it’s got 10+ hours of what looks to me like fun, then I’ll probably buy it

As with V, I’m not interested in the online stuff

I tried some online stuff (no friends and just casual play) with V and it wasn't interesting at all to me. Mean the story wasn't stellar in V but I had enough fun through single player. Hopefully they put at least the same effort in VI's single player. Though with all the companies wanting more money I bet there'll be more focus for online from the start this time.

Yeah I agree with that sentiment.

I'm not I fear that this game be a monetize hellscape with online only play.

GTA5 was the most profitable entertainment product of all time when it was single player only. It turned a profit in one day. It's definitely going to have an online mode, but there's no reason to expect it to forgo single player, especially after rdr2.

I looked into it and yeah, the only thing that made more has been Minecraft. And Minecraft made twice as much. GTAV made twice as much as the one below it.
That's pretty crazy.

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand why they focused on multiplayer. Im just a fan since GTA 1. They have a completely different set of values since then, and it's too bad to see them degrade into Corporate Company No 1. So to speak.

[–] froop@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Their completely different set of values led to RDR2, so I'm not worried.

We also got Rickroll !

Never gotten further than about 5 hours into any Rockstar game. This time I'll just let the hype pass me by.

[–] Secret300@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Haha honestly same. I've only ever played GTA Liberty City and 5 tho

[–] QubaXR@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

The two GTAs I actually lived and finished are from before Rockstar era: GTA and GTA2 - the 2D ones. I played all the big open world Rockstar titles (except for Bully) and I think I'm just not the right audience for what they are making.

Maybe it's because I was playing on PC but none of the games prior to 5 held my attention because of the awful controls. Then 5 lost me in under 4 hours or so because it just felt like a lot of nothing going on. For a game called Grand Theft Auto, there wasn't a lot of Grand Theft Auto action in those few hours.
