I have played every GTA before, some even got popular like Vice city for some reason. And I am not as hyped as everyone online. It’s just another GTA don’t make it more deep then it is. Back in the day people made GTA clones as a massive meme to make jokes.
I played a bit of GTA 4 for about 20 hours. But, for whatever reason I got side-tracked and never went back to playing GTA games. So, GTA 6 feels mostly irrelevant to me. But, I am curious enough to see how GTA 6 will push the hardware.
I’ve been playing GTA since the first one, it’s been a huge part of my life, it’s always been there for me, it’s given me more hours of entertainment than any other franchise across any medium. I used to be a fairly prolific gta v modder back on the day, making the first fuel consumption mod (which is now a feature in gta6), I also had a goal of being a top 100 GTA v speed runner which I accomplished many years ago.
So GTA has been a huge part of my life, in good times and through the hardest times. I’m excited for a new entry in the series.
But your right, it’s just a game and if GTA doesn’t appeal to you thats fine. Just like I couldn’t care less about online shooters or MMOs or sports games.
My first GTA was 2, on the PC. Played the hell out of it.
I am also not getting it, not paid at least. There’s simply no point to it. It’s just gonna be used as a vehicle to farm people’s wallets in GTA:O. GTA V did not get any SP content. Hell, even all the cars they added over the years, could only be gotten with a trainer in SP. What a joke.
For me, it doesn’t even really exist until it’s released on PC. Once that happens, -then- I’ll where about whether or not I want to buy it.
Im only excited because there’s a female protagonist. So I do look forward to wreaking havoc as a Latina.
I’ve been playing GTA since the 90s. I’ll pass unless I’m satisfied that their union is being treated fairly. No union, no buy.
I would have been excited about GTA 6 had it come out well over 5 years ago and if Rockstar hadn’t gone from awesome gaming company to another corporate money cow
Same, never got to play gta5 iself so yeah no reason to be excited
I don’t even care if anyone cares about GTA6.
You’re on Lemmy, this isn’t unpopular here. Hell go look at the Top of Gaming over the last 6 months and you’ll see everyone is just dogpiling on it. Lemmy’s full of hipsters in their own way. Way too cool for anything that might be mainstream.
God help you if you are excited for GTA 6 on Lemmy.
People can have valid reasons for disliking even popular stuff. I could never get into the franchise because all the mechanics are extremely mid, to the point where I’m really not sure why the games became as successful as they did. I put in a few hours with 4 and 5 and wasn’t really having any fun so I quit
Indeed, it is hip to hate union busters around here
ACAB
I am interested, I will be watching streams and videos. But I will probably never play it myself, unless like a mate has it and offers me to give it a go. But I will be watching. I think it’s easier to be intriqued here where it is not forced for months after months. Now that I think of it, I don’t think I have seen a single post or meme about this… Am I sheltering myself too much? Probably not… When does it even come out? Is it soon?
I wanna say the 18th? I dunno, it’s hard to get excited when there’s no hard copy. It’s like oh yeah, just buy it some day and download it at your leisure, that’s the release date. Then when you want, download the patch to make it playable. Or don’t. I’m going back to bed.
Yeah its the eighteenth I’ve had the ultimate edition preordered for awhile now.
You shouldn’t do that, it rewards bad behaviour
I’m going to buy it no matter what anyways so I do t see a problem.
One of the vary many reasons which make the bed more interesting…
Nothing is more alluring to me as bed these days. It’s like booze, meth and heroine all rolled into one cozy, soft safe space. I crave it constantly.
Not sure how unpopular this actually is, but I won’t be buying it either. Rockstar can lick my nuts.
I wouldn’t say this is unpopular, I think most people don’t care about GTA 6. They just keep it to themselves cuz they actually don’t care about GTA 6. Unlike some…
I gave up on anything Rockstar related when they got into the business of union busting.
I wouldn’t even pirate it, let alone play it.
Wow what a cool guy
Couldn’t pirate it if I wanted to. The thing is just too big.
I’ll get the Linux native build that eventually shows up on the internet. But I don’t care if I have to wait a decade for it.
At the current rate you’ll probably get it before the official Windows build is out.
I was thinking the same but I didn’t know if I could say it I would probably test it after months and then figure it out from there if it’s worth it
The last time I legitimately played a Rockstar game on PC, I lost internet for a couple days, and after a short while the “offline mode” of the game suddenly stopped working and it demanded me to go online again. For GTA V. Fortunately I had The Saboteur DRM-free, so I played that to completion instead, and I had so much more fun. Point is I’m not going to pay for the privilege of a multi billion dollar game company dangling the ability to play another open world crime sim in front of me.
As soon as Rock$tar started to double and then triple dip on GTA5 sales across next gen and PC… I vowed to never buy another game from them. And never even considered playing online.
I’ll pirate GTA6 at some point once it inevitably comes to PC just because it means denying them the sale. But until then, don’t care or think I’m missing anything worthwhile.
