6 is never going to live up to the hype and will be riddled with micro transactions and GaaS shoved up its ass.

Stop paying attention to what the big corporations are pumping out. Go play something made my people that give a shit about the game and not the “potential revenue” it might create.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

The multiplayer will be like that.

But I'm not here for that, and Rockstar and Naughty Dog are in the "haven't let me down yet" club.

III, VC, SA, IV and even V are some of the ~~best~~ (edit: best-selling) games of all time. No need for new ones

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Really aren’t. GTA has had the most dated mission structure since part 3.

Their Gangs and crimes stories are also weak.

SA was the only one that had something to say.

Glad you're getting upvoted for this. Every time I mention how outdated RDR2 felt at launch, I get downvoted. But it's true. For a game about an outlaw, you sure have to follow a lot of rules to play the game as the developers intended.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Man, I tried multiple times to get into RDR2. I really want to like it, and I love RDR. But my god that game feels like a job with all the small things you need to remember to do.

Man, even the gun system annoyed me. I'm fine with them having like 4 slots or whatever it was for weapons, but I remember so many times riding to a mission on my horse, selecting the guns I wanted to use and after like 50 feet Arthur would decide "welp, I'm not using these guns, better shove em back in my horse" leadong me to not having a gun ready at the start of a mission. I think that was the straw the broke the camels back for me, just hold the guns I selected Arthur.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Couldn't agree more, the weapon system is incredibly frustrating too. I solved that problem simply by using a trainer to mod all the weapons to have the same stats. That way I can just use whatever gun Arthur grabs and not worry about it.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah for a “dynamic open world” it sure consists of a bunch of linear missions and rigged structure.

Thats a classic video and definitely one of the first I’ve seen outside of Zero Punctuation that has been honest about the GTA games.

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am speaking by number of copies sold. Actually valuing the games, what do you think is the most solid GTA?

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you're just talking about number of copies sold, using the term "best" is confusing

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

You're right. I edited my original comment

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Honestly they could have released single player DLC for V and made a load of money without having to even develop VI

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

I've literally purchased a Xbox series X for this game, moved to and moved back from south Florida and it's still not out....I can imagine this is live up to expectations but I also can't imagine it won't live up to expectations..
