I'm cautiously optimistic. I really hope this isn't the first GTA game they ruin. I hate that they discarded the additions to GTA V's single-player in exchange for GTA Online updates, I hope they won't do that here, even though I did actually enjoy GTA Online too.

All GTA onlines have the been the biggest pieces of shit in my opinion.

Never spent a cent and never will.

It was real dirty of Rockstar doing that.

Overreaction much? GTA4 online granted didn't even work, but V online is exactly how you want GTA online to behave, minus the load times. No one is forcing you to play online. You'll easily get 100 hours just fucking around in single player.

I always thought I wanted GTA Online during the GTA3 era. Then when it became a reality, I realized I really didn’t want it and preferred the single player. The moment the story ends though, I have zero interest. Same with RDR2. Don’t care much to run around an empty world trying to collect 100% completion. Online is toxic and boring. Anything with an in game currency that you can buy with real money is a no from me. I guess I grew up in a different era when games were games and not gambling scams.

Well I guess this is where different Motivations for gaming come into play. I spent 800+ hours in GTA Online and most of that time was just spending time with my friends. Never spent a single Euro for Shark Cards.

It really isn't. The idea started great, but they focused way too much on lobby play instead of missions. And lobbies were just not good, because of tech problems and because they just gave out overpowered stuff there you can't counter. It all just felt too much, instead of your character just being a trailer gangster. And it's very obvious that everything is focused on you having to buy shark cards. I enjoyed 3rd party clients way more.

I dont remember the gta v launch, but i definatly remember the cyberpunk hype and launch

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You don't remember V's launch? It was a massive success.

[-] job3rg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I wasnt on the internet back then. Got open access to the internet around 2015.

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Dude, people took off work for that launch.

I won't be pre-ordering (because they likely won't be releasing on PC at launch, ugh), but I have high hopes. There hasn't been a R* game without a killer story. I kinda expected RDR2's story to be an afterthought to the online, as that was their first game since GTAOnline, however it was still an awesome single player campaign.
