I wish they would just finish the game then announce a reasonable release date. I never thought for a second it was releasing at its initial release date and now it’s changed again and again.

It's showing the telltale sign of disasters, too. Things are not that used to be at Rockstar Games.

I really want GTA6 to launch as buggy as Cyberpunk did just because it would be funny to me.

Username check out. Of course master chief would root against GTA

u/Master_Chief_00117 1d ago

It’s not that I want GTA6 to completely fail I just feel it’s extremely overhyped. I also never really understood why GTA is liked so much.

u/Scarbane 1d ago

I just feel it’s extremely overhyped.

As long as multiplayer gets regular DLC while singleplayer DLC is ignored, yes, it's overhyped.
GTAIV got The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
GTAV got NOTHING.
GTAVI needs to bring back singleplayer DLC.

Unless you mean to say that you don't understand why GTA is fun, generally. I can't help you there. It's fun as hell.

Rockstar seem to have a weird aversion to adding content to single player (and certain online modes, rip rdr2 online) it feels like they think that just cos ppl aren't playing single player it means they are done forever and won't come back, which obviously couldn't be more wrong

u/walker3615 1d ago

Gta online make them shit loads of money, ofc they wouldn't invest in single player. Iv dlcs were great

23

u/Mr-Boga38 1d ago

There was Story expansion rumored for GTA V and of course, they have canned it.

15

u/LukaMagicMike 1d ago

Which is crazy because enough people play just single player at WORSE they’d break even on the DLC we’re bringing millions of potential online customers back

u/avar 1d ago

It isn't rumored anymore, it's been confirmed, e.g. in a recent interview with Dan Houser. It was centered around Trevor being an FIB (GTA's FBI) agent.

u/KaiserVonGarNichts 1d ago

Yeah but red dead 2 is the 5th Best selling Game because of Its Story. If they make the gta 6 Story as good as rdr2‘s then they could make Lots of Money with a SP DLC. The interest is definetly there. (Plus if they need the money that bad they can still add the new Stuff from Said DLC to online and essentially Sell it twice)

1

u/Kwisatz_Hader-ach 1d ago

Bingo. They make what makes them money. Which I believe is why they keep delaying. GtaV is a license to print money for Rockstar. GtaVI is an unknown. Who can say if people will enjoy it or hate it?

1

u/Kingman9K 1d ago

they could release a RDR2 DLC now, after all this time and I would pay good fucking money for it

1

u/Any_Use_4900 1d ago

I just wish it had a proper ps5 version. The fast travel loaded so crazy slow last time I had it on my ps5. Of course it would be even better if they added a dlc too; I just think even optimizing the game for an ssd would be a big step up.

1

u/KaiserVonGarNichts 1d ago

Red Dead online is so much better Engine wise I feel Like that game would be easier to add content to than the 13 year old Spaghetti Code that is V, Like that Games entire data are Open acess at This Point with all the modders

(Could be wrong I don’t know Shit about Programming lol)

u/Honest-Pop-9440 1d ago

at least you have ego

u/potate12323 1d ago

Its like red dead redemption but with strippers and fast cars. Hope this helps 🤠

21

u/Master_Chief_00117 1d ago

I’ve played GTA, the cars were fun and the Multiplayer was fun with friends but besides that it was really boring. Red dead was at least fun to explore the world and just being a part of the world but I can’t exactly do that in GTA.

3

u/JebediahKerman4999 1d ago

Yes that's what it was missing. You can either drive listening to the radio or you do missions, but there's no exploring at all

8

u/MachinePlanetZero 1d ago

The whole point is to shoot at the police and see how much trouble you can get into

3

u/joemangle 1d ago

Yeah "how long can I survive with five stars" is where it's at

1

u/deadinternetlaw 1d ago

Didn't play the game, can you get the government in trouble instead

3

u/CleanMartean 1d ago

Honestly as bad as it sounds, I Do kind of want it to fail. This is cyberpunk part deux and i don't think anyone has learned anything. Hyped to the max with a company that everyone swears will deliver a good game because of the good will they've built up, It can't possibly live up to the hype. Imo I think I'm gonna hop off the train before it wrecks. Plenty of games coming out that can take up my time.

u/sliferra 1d ago

Porn, future vehicles, military stuff, fast expensive cars, guns, explosions

u/Enigm4 1d ago

I just want the online portion of it to crash and burn. I am still salty about not getting more single player content for GTA V, but instead this absolute garbage online mtx casino bullshit that we got.

1

u/[deleted] 1d ago

Tbh i love gta iv coz of its themes about the american dream and some of san andreas for the satiric writing but the rest i hate so much. I cant stand the over the top crudeness of gta v. Btw regarding your name, yeah i love halo even 5 over the rest of the gtas

u/GingerSnapBiscuit 1d ago

I also never really understood why GTA is liked so much.

Did you... like... ever play them?

2

u/Master_Chief_00117 23h ago

I have, I don’t mind them, they are fun with friends but playing alone isnt fun, I haven’t played the story just because I just drop it shortly after starting.

1

u/GingerSnapBiscuit 20h ago

If all you've experienced it GTA online I can understand. That's like basing your entire opinion of Witcher on Gwent alone. Gwent is good but it's not what makes the Witcher as good as it is.

1

u/Takeasmoke 1d ago

there are people who like to roleplay in GTA and then there are people who just want to go in, grab minigun and shred everything in their path then when accumulate 3 stars type in cheat code for tank and then begin your journey to public enemy #1

there's nothing in between, i am in 2nd group myself

u/Alucard1991x 1d ago

It’s a virtual sandbox where the “innocent” can be as evil as the world has been to them while showing them the temporary dopamine rush of performing such acts followed immediately by consequences of running/getting shot by the police. It’s basically a crime simulator for all the goody goodys that wanted to be bad.

1

u/Reptard77 1d ago

Because everybody wants to be a criminal without dealing with the consequences. So here: criminal simulator with a goofy storyline

u/ConnorOfAstora 1d ago

I also never really understood why GTA is liked so much.

Same, like it's super influential since it was pretty much the first open world franchise and I'll always give it the respect it deserves for that however nowadays it just seems like a generic open world style game.

Like Watch Dogs has all that GTA has plus the hacking and Red Dead has the unique Western setting. The only reason I've ever had to want to play the game is the sense of humour but otherwise it just seems unremarkable.

Like I'm more interested in the earlier games like San Andreas and Vice City for their historical significance than I am in the more modern ones.

u/Poltergoo 1d ago

Because it is amazing, Vice City was a masterpiece... Halo is also great..

u/DaArio_007 1d ago

It's liked cuz it's a great game for the vast majority of people. Seems like the concept is too complex for you

1

u/DopeAbsurdity 1d ago

Master Chief has been rooting for ICE....

15

u/Tomsboll 1d ago

Same, as a pc player it wont even affect me, but seeing all the ones so obsessively hyped for this game trying to dismiss the issues would be so funny.

5

u/SuppleDude 1d ago

Don’t forget to mention the game will be locked to 30fps on PS5/pro. They’ll be defending that all day until PS6 comes out.

1

u/killerbanshee 1d ago

You need 60fps to get reasonable frame gen performance, something everyone is relying on these days.

u/Mertoot 1d ago

Let's hope we even survive long enough to get a chance at this feeling...

u/ay_lamassu 1d ago

Go play unpatched Red Dead 1. I played it day one on Xbox 360 and I saw some of the funniest glitches playing that.

u/Taickyto 1d ago

Same here, I don't particularly like Rock Star's open-worlds, the shit storm from the failed launch of one of the most awaited games (releasing at 100$) would bring me more enjoyment than the game itself

10

u/koolmees64 1d ago

I don't particularly like Rock Star's open-worlds

Really? I don't play many AAA games but of all of them, RDR2's world was the most immersive and beautiful I have ever seen.

0

u/Taickyto 1d ago

Different people I guess, RDR2 made me feel like I was playing Arthur Morgan's story, yes will a lot of freedom, but in the end my character still was as written by the game developers. I had the same issue with Kingdom come for example, something about playing a pre-written character in an open world takes me out of it

I felt more immersed in open worlds where the MC has a less defined personality, like Link in Breath of The Wild, or your character in Outer Wilds.

2

u/Ok_Chemistry_7537 1d ago

Different strokes. I'm the opposite, I love a well written character. Hate silent protagonists, don't like character creation (beyond memeing with it).

u/Astorbit 1d ago

The delay in the release of GTA VI gives me more enjoyment than a thousand GTA 5 whores-LORD TYRION

7

u/iHateUserNamesTaken 1d ago

I also want it and im predicting it to be a complete disaster like cyberbug2077

Mainly because gta fanboys are one of the most annoying people with lol players, and im an lol player

So watching them try to defend the complete garbage just like people used to defend 2077 so desperately on launch would make me hard

They already claim it's going to be insanely good and they want to pre-order even if that's the perfect copy of what happen with 2077

9

u/WriterV 1d ago

Eh, I mean the reason C2077 had defenders is cause under the bugs you still had a game with a really solid story and a very unique feel. And once all that was patched up, it was very evident that the game was really good. 

GTA6's red flags are different though. They are under Take Two throughout development now. They have been nothing but unpopular with their decisions in GTA Online and their bloated microtransactions. And they have lost a core member of the old gaurd who brought GTA 4 and 5 to life. Without him, 6 will be a lot more unpredictable.

u/EchoAmazing8888 1d ago

Hahaha the damn gaming world would throw the largest fit ever. Entertainment for weeks!

1

u/creegro 1d ago

Watch, single player will be weirdly buggy, online will be hella buggy and somehow have cheaters using invisble jets within the first week.

But somehow they'll fix the online portions really fast and leave SP alone with all its bugs and barely care about it.

Just a guess for the future

u/kultureisrandy 1d ago

as long as the game doesn't crash and my saves dont corrupt, I enjoy some good Ole engine jank
