GTA5 was out for like three years on PC before I bothered with it. I found it to be… fairly mediocre. There’s nothing in GTA6 that would make me feel otherwise. I’ll eventually play it… at great discount, or not at all.
Yeah I genuinely don’t understand the hype. Maybe I’m just old and fully saturated with GTA already.
nothing special but rabid fans and worth a billion dollars, it’s the Taylor Swift of video game franchises
It’s like people with windows computers who complain about Apple
Some people don’t understand the difference in quality as they lack taste
Apple does some things well, Windows does some different things well, and increasingly, for the everyday users who mostly thought those were the only two choices, Linux does some things well.
It’s all about what you, the user, care about.
I started playing GTA 5 shortly after launch and could make the same statement.
I’ve bought launch day on this series for a few iterations now.
The last good GTA game was GTA 2.
Well that’s a crazy take, you can just say you don’t like the Rockstar narrative open-world shooter style.
look…at this point I don’t know why we keep complaining about it. there are still plenty of people out there who just don’t give a fuck about physical media, price points, industry profiteering, etc. we just have to accept we don’t have the numbers to make a difference. I feel it’s an age thing for one. when I was younger I couldn’t wait for any this type of stuff. if I didn’t have money I’d bug parents for it, sell my shit or whatever to get the new hot thing…then I got older and didn’t care as much and now couldn’t give 2 fucks. I’ve become patient and wait out for cheaper pricing, better content, better reviews even though I could buy 10 of anything new that comes out…I want to make better decisions about giving money to companies that don’t exploit their people, so on but there are not enough of us to make a dent so we abide and continue to influence others to our side until we have more who believe like we do. having all these streamers review content doesn’t help. they add to the hype. for them it’s business so they pump this shit up and hype it up and people eat it up because they have the self control of a toddler, amen. touch some grass y’all and then play a little skyrim…
It does feel like the average person has the self control of a toddler.
I don’t think they care as much as you think they do, it is how the average person would have purchased the game regardless
Exactly. The people showing their real level of intellect are the people who seem to be unable to understand the facts of the situation, think that they know better than the company who actually manufactures and sells the things, and call everyone else dumb and unintelligent for not agreeing with their factually incorrect opinion.
think that they know better than the company who actually manufactures and sells the things,
Do you think corporations have your best interest in mind? The company who makes and sells GTA wants to make money. That’s it. That’s the sum total of their intent.
Dude, just how much do you enjoy the taste of boot leather?
Ah yes, one of the clearest ways to show your intelligence and how right you are is to go straight to calling people bootlickers. You sure showed me. Definitely not a sign of being more akin to a whiney child. Not at all.
You’re literally sucking boot for toxic corporate practices, what else do you call that if not a bootlicking?
Enjoy your slop.
Keep going with showing us all how intelligent you are.
Enjoy GTA6, cause we all know you’ll buy it 🤣
The entire generation after the Millenials are impulsive and raised entirely on being nickeled and dimed to death.
So I was watching JoeFromSeattle and he basically has an observation/theory from repeatedly interacting with these people on Twitter.
… They literally do not count themselves as ‘gamers’, they use the word to identify others.
These are the people who buy Madden/FIFA every year, every COD, every Battlefield, and assume everyone does that, to the point of projecting it without realizing it and then not believing you if you say you didn’t do that as well.
… they are very often illiterate, cannot understand sentences above roughly Grade 5 complexity, always assume they are correct and work backwards to attempt to form a justification for whatever they’ve decided is corrrect.
… they’re morons.
Like just… complete fucking morons.
And that’s not an insult, its simply accurate.
