With how disappointing the latest sequels of famous franchises had been during this first half of the 2020s (except resident evil, yay) I expect GTA to fall a bit short as well…
Like, it’s going to be a good game but it won’t blew anyone away. Also probably is going to be the buggiest GTA at launch. That’s the trend in big games now.
It’s gonna be a microtransaction shitfest.
So yes.
Nothing ever does.
The Matrix did. Imho.
I honestly think it will not live up to the levels of hype that the community will build itself up to.
Coupled with my suspicion that the single-player game will be as barebones as possible, with the goal of funnelling as many players into the next iteration of GTA:Online as quickly as possible, to sell more Shark Cards.
The good news is that in the end I’ll either be proven right, or pleasantly surprised.
Lemme say that:
If I tell you: The Movie Shrek 2 is the best movie ever made, and then you watch it and it was Ok for you, you’ll say it’s bad.
But if I tell you the movie Shrek 2 is the worse ever, and you watch it then, and you find it OK, you’ll say it’s pretty good.
I doubt it, but when does anything live up to the hype?
I reckon it’ll be a decent game, but the multiplayer will likely be worse than GTA 5 as they try more things to get our money and fewer things to entertain us.
RDR2 surpassed it’s hype actually. Look it up the comments in the trailers.
I kind of imagine it will be the same thing every rockstar game has become. Some pretty ok story with every mission just devolving into a shooting gallery.
GTA games always were a series of glorified fetch quests.
Definitely! Get your hopes up as much as possible and pre-order the mega tycoon edition the second they let you.
No, it’s not going too.
What I’ve heard is that Rockstar’s games have amazing trailers with less-amazing gameplay. I think it’s quite likely that it’ll be the same this time.
rockstar understands trailers - and games - need great music and it shows.
but yeah gameplay heh… the truly R* loyal will love it and spend ridiculous sums, the rest of it will play the story when it’s a few years old and the bugs have been patched and it’s on sale.
I don’t care about the hype. I won’t get myself hyped either. I already didn’t like the trailer graphics, which looked kind of cartoonish. The gameplay will show, but they got so many billions from the online mode, that I’m not sure if they even bother delivering a good long singleplayer and not just focus mostly on the online play. I only care about the single player, where I’m not harassed by cheaters and shop popups, begging and nagging me to buy worthless online money.
Now they probably will provide a single player, maybe even a great one, as RDR2 has shown they are still capable after all. I will probably try the online mode but the last GTA was loading simulator and cheater party. And when I looked how grindy it is to get anything I stopped right away.
They’ve dumped $2billion of that back into developing this game. That’s 4x as much as they spent on RDR2 and about 5x as what they spent on GTAV.
So as far as “I’m not sure they even bothered” goes, well it seems they bothered quit a bit more than they did on those other games which were both epic.
We don’t know how much of that was for the multiplayer. I’m probably wrong though, and that’s not a bad thing.
I’m not hyping myself up for it so i won’t get disappointed
