I tried to play through it recently. Game was OK, but fuck their stupid launcher. I want nothing to do with GTAO, so why do I have to load into its menu every single time I go to play the game and suffer through a bunch of ads to play a fucking single player game I paid for? I uninstalled about ten hours in. I might pirate it. It's probably a better experience.
Hmm, maybe it's time to try out that game
The online mode a not worth it unless your idea of a good time is getting blown up ever 5 seconds
You can do private lobbies but you gotta have friends to have people to play with.
On the PC front GTA-RP servers are alive and thriving and very safe and stable at this point.
the online modes of this series have always been unplayable. it's a shame because i know there's potential there
I'm still salty that Rockstar seemingly broke GTA V for Linux on purpose. I poured hours into Online and loved the Community I found, so it's a real shame they shut out Linux and Steam Deck users for good by adding BattleEye without Linux support. I was pretty much done with the game by then, but that move solidified my personal boycott of Rockstar.
Online ist dead. 5 mins in and I'm getting headshots from a guy across the map with a K:D of 3000:1. Everything online costs real money or endless grind. Waiting for 15 mins in a lobby, only that the host logs out 2 mins into the mission.
You can use a private or invite only lobby.
I don't even care about GTA 6 anymore. It's just going to be a grift anyway.
Damn we got FenderStratocaster not caring about GTA6 before we got GTA6
Trump's first and second non-consecutive terms.
Why is this type of comment so popular on Lemmy? We are supposed to hate absolutely anything here for some reason.
I don't hate everything. I hate the fact that GTA V has been milked for 12 years. I like other stuff. I like Apex Legends. Smash brothers.
Meanwhile Skyrim came out the week my daughter was born, and she’s in high school now. We still don’t have a new elder scrolls
Have you tried having another kid?
No.. no that's impossible... fuck. 14 years, huh? I remember it was 11/11/11 and there were ads for it on city buses, and I thought "wow i guess video games are mainstream now"
I think GTA 6 will be an outstanding game, but I also think it will be Rockstar's greediest release to date. I will make sure to consider everything before I buy it.
As greedy as GTA V was with its multiplayer, Rockstar has a history of releasing a good single player base game before they start with that, and looking as GTA VI leaked map, I don't see that changing now. It'll definitely be nothing more than a single player experience for me though.
Plus, were might have to wait one or two years to play it on PC, especially on Linux, so there's a lot of time for considerations...
12 years ago? But I haven't finished GTA IV yet. Time goes so fast :(
Probably I will play it only when I retire…
You expect to retire? Ooooh, fancy!
Retire, too old to be hired, tomayto tomahto.
Hey cousin! Let’s go bowling
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.
I've lived in the same GTA house longer than I've lived in any real home.
The cars I own in GTA V I’ve had longer than the current car that’s sitting in my driveway.
It's a fantastic documentary; as an LA native, I recommend playing through the story to better understand our diverse culture of shallow rich folks, inner city gents, and meth-addled drug countrymen.
In fact, pirate it to truly honor my culture. Lol
Gotta love Steven Ogg.
GTA VI I feel is going to stretch about 4 generations of gaming before ever seeing VII.
GTA V has started in the PS3/360 era, went through the PS4/One era, is sitting in the PS5/X era and we're now about 2-3 years away from the next gen of gaming to happen.
Also it is hard for me to believe we got both GTA IV and GTA V in the same generation.
There's possibility that GTA VII will come faster. Rockstar does waves on new engine versions. GTA I + II, engine switch, GTA III, VC, SA, engine switch, GTA IV, GTA V, possibly engine switch?, GTA VI, GTA VII? Or some offspin?
Problem is, they smelled online money so dunno.
I pick up GTA V as an Epic store free game of the week. It was the gateway drug the sent me down the dark and seedy parth of collecting every free Epic game for evermore. I have Hundreds of games I will never play but I keep on collecting them. It is my vice, my drug.
Keep in mind that GTA V released in the PS3 - which is now considered a retro console.
I refuse to entertain the idea of PS3 being retro until at least next year, when it turns 20. Now you might say "okay then, GTA V also came out on Xbox 360, which turns 20 in about 2 months" to which I say... get off my lawn!
For some reason this made me feel much older than knowing GAT V launched 11 years ago. I grew up with an NES.
