      Why is this type of comment so popular on Lemmy? We are supposed to hate absolutely anything here for some reason.

        Don’t get it either, maybe it also something to do with lemmys demographic being older. ( I believe that is the case with Mastodon vs. Twitter ) Sure it is sad that the planed single-player content was scraped for multiplayer ( even though i had lots of fun with the multiplayer as well, at least in its early days. ) But why crying about VI when it hasnt been released yet? Just see when it comes out…

    I tried to play through it recently. Game was OK, but fuck their stupid launcher. I want nothing to do with GTAO, so why do I have to load into its menu every single time I go to play the game and suffer through a bunch of ads to play a fucking single player game I paid for? I uninstalled about ten hours in. I might pirate it. It’s probably a better experience.

    I think GTA 6 will be an outstanding game, but I also think it will be Rockstar’s greediest release to date. I will make sure to consider everything before I buy it.

      Yeah, that is crazy to me. I understand them wanting to make other games in between and that making those games takes a few years each. Rationally, I’m on board with the decision-making and the math that leads to this.
      But that the result is a generation who didn’t have an Elder Scrolls part released in their childhood, that still feels like far too grand of a concept.

        What are you talking about, there’s a new Elder Scrolls release every year. Skyrim Remastered, Skyrim Deluxe. Skyrim Limited Edition. Skyrim for Switch. Skyrim Premium Deluxe for Switch, the list goes on.

        You can do private lobbies but you gotta have friends to have people to play with.

        On the PC front GTA-RP servers are alive and thriving and very safe and stable at this point.

    I pick up GTA V as an Epic store free game of the week. It was the gateway drug the sent me down the dark and seedy parth of collecting every free Epic game for evermore. I have Hundreds of games I will never play but I keep on collecting them. It is my vice, my drug.

        Free games from epic games store is NOT hoarding. You don’t really own them. The minute epic decides they are done with that store, you are out of luck and all your games.

        Getting free games via Amazon Prime from GOG however would be actual digital hoarding, since you can download and save the installer of every game there.

          Wait, I didn’t know this about the Amazon Prime free games. So they’re distributed through GOG?

    Keep in mind that GTA V released in the PS3 - which is now considered a retro console.

      I refuse to entertain the idea of PS3 being retro until at least next year, when it turns 20. Now you might say “okay then, GTA V also came out on Xbox 360, which turns 20 in about 2 months” to which I say… get off my lawn!

        For some reason this made me feel much older than knowing GTA V launched 11 years ago. I grew up with an NES.

    12 years ago? But I haven’t finished GTA IV yet. Time goes so fast :(

    Probably I will play it only when I retire…
