Am I the only one who absolutely hates GTA?
It's bland as fuck and somehow people go and fucking play the same shitty mechanic game for hundreds of hours for 13 years, not even mentioning the fact that they buy it 3 fucking times.
It's not even out and I already absolutely hate this game and how everyone is hyping it to be next coming of Jesus when it's going to be EXACTLY the same as the other ones with crappy storyline and a basic af gameplay
I'm sorry, but gta FIVE was bland as fuck. Gta3 was groundbreaking for the time because it was 3d, gtavc was actually incredible, but now looks like hot dogshit (sounds great though, and that va cast was insanely talented and well cast and written, chefs kiss), and gtasa while a great game and expansion on basically everything, was the beginning of it getting bland and formulaic.
And gta5 was like... The right direction after gta4, but felt really half assed.
That being said, I love this franchise and want it to do better. I just know that they likely won't.
So don't hate it, just criticize it for what's really wrong with it. As a person who's played since gta2, it's immensely frustrating to see it degrade. Your complaints are valid.
Why are you here then?
Like I see posts about Anime all the time and that isn’t my thing, so you know what I do… I just pass on by and let people enjoy what they enjoy without trying to come off as superior or enlightened.
But, how else are you supposed to know that THEY'RE enlightened and superior, if they don't loudly proclaim it at every given opportunity? Hmmmm?!
Pro tip, if your sentence ever begins with "am I the only one..." then just stop and completely reconsider how you want to present the point you want to make. Just make the point. Lose the fluff.
You aren't the only one. Nobody is ever the only one.
You could've just said that it's not your cup of tea. Seems like you have a grudge against it. Which is fine, but for people who enjoy the series, your comment can feel like an attack on their preference.
It isn't my cup of tea, what bothers me is the EXTREME overhype. It's not normal.
Literally EVERY social media I have has posts of people analyzing frame by frame of a stupid trailer, like... Wtf.
I get people being excited, but it's a trailer, it's not the next coming of Jesus
I liked vice city and San Andreas.
Since IV they have been striping features from the games (also IV had huge performance issues). And V is completely bland to me. I didn't enjoy it. And I don't expect much from VI. I expect the same shallowness as V with a different background.
If I'm wrong good from everyone. But I won't get disappointed if it's as boring a V.
Same. But I WILL be disappointed. I like the series too much, despite it being shit for so long. I want to play good games, and I know what Rockstar is really capable of. So if another big release by a core gaming studio comes out and it's trash, that'll suck.
