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.
Never cared for GTA 1-5.
This isn’t an opinion, nor is it even a preference. It’s simply an anecdotal statement that offers no real value beyond perhaps being controversial.
However, I would bet there’s a video game, television show, or movie franchise that you care deeply about. That’s GTA for its fans. If you personally cannot recognize or appreciate why some of these games were groundbreaking and offered genuine value to the gaming industry, that’s your problem. Perhaps you should take a moment to examine your own perspective before making a declarative statement that has absolutely no bearing on the people who genuinely love the games and the franchise.
Disclaimer: I’m not even a particularly massive GTA fan, and my hopes and expectations for GTA 6 are abysmal. In fact, I genuinely believe this installment could ruin the franchise. I don’t think they’ll make their money back, and I suspect it could become the biggest commercial flop in gaming history.
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.
So brave.
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.
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.
Im only excited because there’s a female protagonist. So I do look forward to wreaking havoc as a Latina.
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.
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
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.
Same, never got to play gta5 iself so yeah no reason to be excited
Not sure how unpopular this actually is, but I won’t be buying it either. Rockstar can lick my nuts.
I don’t even care if anyone cares about GTA6.
I gave up on anything Rockstar related when they got into the business of union busting.
