And that 15 years was filled with nothing but shark cards and other online only nonsense.

Don't know why anyone would be excited in the least for a new GTA.

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?

rockstar is still the one game company i trust to release something kickass.

pls dont dissapoint rockstar.

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.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah I agree with that sentiment.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 !
