Also, are you stoked? Seems like two of the biggest/most anticipated releases in years.

My copy of Zelda shipped. First time I have bought a game on release date in several years. Not too interested in GTA 6, but I will probably get it in a year or two.

    Neither franchise interests me.

    But I wish that everyone playing either will have a good time with them.

      For REAL. I haven’t upgraded my PC in years, let alone thought about getting a console. I’m good with just getting a random $5-$20 indie game now and then and working on my old backlog.

      I mean, what was this 300 game backlog for, if not to let me survive this economical gaming winter?

      Same. Besides, can you imagine trying to download that behemoth on day one while everybody else is trying to do the same?

    Neither. Nintendo and Rockstar are both scumbag companies. I will probably pirate GTA 6 in a couple years, whoever buys that game for the singleplayer is lost, it’s just shipping GTA:O assets ahead of time. They showed, they don’t care about singleplayer with GTA 5 and GTA (5) Online.

      with all the AI assisted Sony hacks and PS5 emulation advancing so rapidly you probably won’t need to wait that long

    Nope. Over a decade of anti-consumer practices or churning out broken and unfinished cash grabs vaguely disguised as games have convinced me that pretty much every AAA dev studio and major publisher don’t deserve my money. I’ve been more than happy lately sticking to indie titles and playing games from the late 2000s or older

      Exactly my take.
      I’m vicariously happy for anyone from the generations after mine getting into Ocarina of Time for their first playthrough, but I’m personally more interested in getting the decomps to work and reliving my favorite Christmas present on my own terms

      i thought GTA V had a solid single-player campaign without any cash grabs.

      I don’t mind a company soaking the rubes if it also has a good non-rapist-mentality mode.

        Rockstar canceled the three single player dlcs to shove all that content into GTAO behind prices so inflated that you pretty much needed to pay real money for the vehicles

          I played it on Steam with a VR Mod and had a good time. I woudn’t pay full price for any AAA game, but I don’t see a problem with a buying a game if it offers you a good experience separate from the cash grabbing.

    I plan on replaying Link to the Past on my Steam Deck on Zelda drop day, so I can tell all my friends I’m playing the best Zelda ever.

    Between Steam, GOG, Humble Bundle, Itch, Fanatical, Prime, and all the retro emulation stuff, I have more games than I have life left.

    Neither. Already played OoT on the 3DS and I’d rather get started on my used copy of GTA V on the PS4.

    I’ll play GTA VI when used copies eventually climb down in price. /s

    Neither, I don’t have any modern consoles. Well unless you count Steam Deck.

    I would buy GTA6 if it was on PC.

      Just a heads up: Rockstar deliberately broke Linux support for GTA Online. In fact, the game worked seamlessly for years until they added BattlEye anti-cheat and chose not to enable Linux support (an option BattlEye literally provides with a simple toggle).
