Consider this a preview of gta6 ways.
If you want to get the game wouldn't you want to avoid further trailers to avoid getting stuff spoiled?
I'm always amazed at Rockstar's ability to sell a game with the simple sales pitch of "It's GTA". We've basically seen nothing about this game, and they aren't well known for managing their existing games well, yet everyone is convinced this will be
- Game of the year
- Highest grossing game of the decade
- Most innovative piece of software ever
Despite only seeing a pre-rendered trailer up to now. We don't even know any members of the cast on IMDb.
I think we've completely lose the plot on game development.
it'd be hilarious for the next GTA to be meh. all those billions invested, all the years, and it's like a 5.5-6 out of 10 lol.
not predicting anything, just think it'd be funny
Itll be really depressing, because itll still be GOTY and bestselling game of all time and make record number of mtx ane subscriptions.
And everyone is going to buy it just like always. Which proves their strategy works.
I will wait until its less then $50 and I will experience the same joy that all the jerks preordering it will have
sure I will have that experience a year or more after they do but I also get a patched product
They should make a $1,000 edition you can play a week earlier.
I gotta be honest, I don't see how this is different than all the times a movie preview would premiere on MTV or some other cable/satellite channel. Game trailers and gameplay previews premiered on G4/TechTV quite a bit for a good run there. Also, it's on Netflix a whopping six hours earlier than YouTube. That's not a paywall, so much as a paybump. I hate that I'm white-knighting for capitalists here, but there are things to be outraged about and this ain't one of em.
I really hope GTA 6 bombs HARD. Like, 30k total worldwide sales. I want them to have to reevaluate their strategy, and stop making GTA games so paint by numbers. The numbers are there to make them consistent flow of money. But they really make the missions become "Go to the yellow marker. Follow the target. Kill the gang that ambushes you. Lose the cops. Mission passed."
With multiple cut scenes (that sometimes are unskippable depending on game) between each step.
I just want to enjoy the game, in single player, and have a full experience that doesn't feel tacked on as an after thought.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I’m pretty sure they made $~~1.2~~ 1.4 billion already from dummies preordering. We deserve the gaming industry we have because people never learn.
The shitty save system in GTA3 made me quit because i got sick of the commute and repeated voiceover lines anytime I failed a mission.
GTA4 didn't really fix that, but it was the helicopter controls that finally made me quit in the final mission.
I quit GTA5 when I spent far too long doing busywork in that forklift 'mission', and I got sick of the sluggish controls where any keypress triggers an uninterruptible animation 'for realism'. At least the save system was better. That torture scene where you didn't have the option to not torture whoever it was really pissed me off as well. I thought videogames were about choices.
Fuck the GTA games. They are not good videogames. They are movies with a few interactable elements.
That seems kind of nitpicky.
Gta3 is extremely old and was the first game of it's kind ever. The formula wouldn't get perfected for 20 years.
4 and 5 you quit because of some small annoyance but they are good games overall. I also wish the torture scene was not there, the game is fucked up enough as it is. But saying that they're just movies with interactive elements just doesn't make sense to describe some of the most open-ended games ever.
I can be nitpicky if I want.
That's where I pretty much ended up with GTA5, but I haven't fired it up in years. Any time I did get the urge, it required such a massive update that I lost the desire to play it before it completed.
and the Rockstar launcher. fuck that garbage
Lmao. Fuck rockstar.
once good company
i only played gta 1 but i remember you guys bitching about greediness with 5. maybe it was multiplayer? i cant remember exactly but i know there has been greediness for a long time.
If you need a trailer that bad and can't wait for the upload then you deserve to pay for a Netflix sub
I mean if you can't see what you get don't preorder... Well... Never preorder But especially if you don't see what you get
What's the point of preordering software that doesn't use physical medium?
You get that sweet pre order achievement, I guess you'll get a clown costume or something along those lines for multiplayer
Iirc it's only 3 hours earlier for netflix, if people are so desperate for it that they can't wait 3 hours i have no word for them.
Won't somebody think of the spoilers?!?
/s
it's gonna be uploaded to YouTube within 10 minutes of release.
Rev up those rippers!
