Interesting article. I especially liked this paragraph:
There's plenty that can be said about the recent trailer, but if I had to sum up my own misgivings with it, it's that it has an air less of "look at this cool thing we made, we can't wait to share it with you", more dick-swinging swagger, a cocksure sense of, well, you're going to buy this anyway, here's some absurdly good-looking beer to tide you piggies over.
- Didn't the original GTA/RDR writers leave after finishing RDR2 anyway? Another worry I have is that this game will have none of the story/writing that made the previous games great, and is just a Rock star cash grab because they own the IP.
It would be hilariously tragic if GTA 6 flopped.
- I have a little flame of hope they waited and milked 5 for too long and now people have lost interest and moved on. Let it be a cautionary tale, there is a happy medium to be had in an IPs release cadence.
  
  Absolutely not lol. Millions of people will buy it for their consoles day one, and then again three years later when it comes to PC.
- The schadenfreude would be delicious.
- Yup, I'm actively avoiding Take2 because of the KSP2 scam.
  On that note, in case you weren't already aware: !kittenspaceagency@sh.itjust.works
- You've convinced me.
I'm having a feeling that GTA 6 will be so massive in disk space requirements it'll force plenty of consoles to be "only one game at a time". I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy that nonetheless, much like they enjoy buying ~~FIFA~~ EA Football <current year> every year and spending real money on whatever bullshit microtransactions are in place to get their dream player for their team.
It all leaves me reminded that any sense of Rockstar being in any way countercultural is surely an ancient, unfunny joke by this point.
Spot on.
- I've got a couple of mates that only play fifa. They buy the new ones asap, they buy the new console to play them. They love that shit.
I was looking forward to seeing how the white house would be bitching about every little detail of this game, but it was delayed until after things will be much worse, I'm not sure anymore if it'll happen.
Though I also wouldn't put it past Rockstar to add a bunch of stuff to the game to try to please the crowds complaining about "woke".
Appreciate the post OP, gotta say I'm on team "IDGAF about GTA" though. It's a wannabe RPG, I'd rather play Baldur's Gate 3 for the 5th and 6th times instead.
- What an unusual take. I've never thought about GTA as an RPG but an action game.
  
  Yeah, there's not exactly a lot of role playing to be done, especially not in story mode.
- GTA isn't an RPG tho? It's an action shooter game with a story
What a negative thread, here.
- When triple A games have been consistently garbage the last couple years its hard to be positive
  
  Rockstar is the greatest AAA dev there is. There’s no games as detailed as Rockstar games.
- Lemmy is a negative place
