GTA is the exact same formula since GTA3.
Sure you get a different story, visual upgrades, and some newer cars. But you're not paying for a new gaming experience, it's essentially become what people made fun of CoD or Nintendo games for.
In that sense you'll get the same thrills from past games. That's also why I didn't give a shit about anything past 3, because I like to play new games not reskins.
I think it's only survived because it is in this niche of socially acceptable "cool" games. You can admit to playing GTA to almost anyone and your not as much a "gamng nerd", but if you like a fantasy RPG your some basement dwelling dweeb. Honestly they are not all that different from each other.
Just spitballing here, but isn't that like 90% of what makes a game? Or at the very least, literally any sequel?
Replacing "cars" with whatever is game-appropriate, of course
My idiot brother learned the term "fetch quest" and then snobbed himself right out of gaming. He couldn't see anything happening around "go here, interact with mcguffin, go back"
The family grew up loving Sierra games, especially stuff made by the Coles, so I don't know where he got that.
Technically correct. Why play any other game if you've played Fallout? It's all going somewhere to get a thing to do a thing! I've been screwed this whole time!
We know next to nothing about GTA6. It could be a revolutionary game for all we know. It could be the greatest game of all time.
Its going to be middle of the road
A very pretty very expensive game
Big. Large. Empty
Go to point A then point B shoot these guys that just spawned in.. Oh you thought the huge open world would allow you to do interesting stuff? No you Just do the same as back in 2003. But now in ~~4K~~ 900P upscaled 30fps locked
Maybe, maybe not. We don’t know, that’s my point.
Rockstar has not deviated since the PS2 why would they now
You think they’ve done nothing but “go here shoot bunch of guys” since the PS2?
