“God please let GTA 6 be a massive flop it would be so fucking funny.”
Like CoD and sports games, they will sell well even if they’re shit.
GTA 4 was something of a ‘flop’. The cars were very hard to steer at high speeds. That’s pretty much the worst case scenario. A car driving game where the cars aren’t fun to drive. The only way they could screw it up worse than that is if was full of micro transactions.
I felt GTA 5 had awful driving. It’s one of the big reasons I didn’t enjoy it.
There is this YouTuber that is like crazy for the game, always talking about it, saying that’s going to be the best game of the world, that nothing could go bad, that Rockstar is like some kind of elves making ancient jewelry. I just want to see his completely breakdown if the game is shit.
After seeing those leak vids it just looks like gtav with slightly better graphics. Watched a scene with dude beating up some people under a bridge and it looked terrible.
The map is the biggest disappointment. Just like in GTA V, there’s next to no reason to visit the upper ⅔rds of the map. I was expecting at least a proper panhandle with some typical southern towns scattered about, not just a 1.5x scaled up version of what we’ve already been stuck playing for the past 13 years.
The old Rockstar is dead. Ppl r gonna preorder GTA anyways and defend the company when they get a broken/unfinished product on day one, claiming it can be fixed in the future with updates. Look at cyberpunk 2077 and no mans land.
Look at two games that show games can indeed be fixed with updates?
no mans sky still sucks. people saying its better now just feels like cope. like sure its better but that doesnt make it good.
it’s not for everyone but it definitely doesn’t suck. it gives me a feeling of wanderlust that no other game can (except maybe elite dangerous, but i don’t play that).
Its serviceable. A lot of it is shallow, finding new creatures, new planets often makes you see the same thing youve already seen with the details changed a bit. But some places genuinely felt special - Ive seen a worm the size of my frigate once, and only once. That’s the kind of weird shit I want in every exploration game. The story I expected to be an afterthought, but damn, its straight up pretty decent. Can’t speak for any of the people who supported the kickstarter, it really sucked for them and they have a right to not be satisfied, but I absolutely got a very enjoyable experience out of it. There are better games that I enjoyed much much less
No Man’s Sky is pretty great now. But that doesn’t mean it’s something everyone will enjoy.
I don’t particularly enjoy it myself, but that’s because open world survival and crafting is something I realized I like in theory, but don’t actually enjoy playing.
It’s a good thing opinions are subjective, and individual to the person. Fwiw, my opinion differs completely. I really enjoyed it on launch, but left it after I’d built a ship, seen a few planets and completed the ten part Atlas storyline. Of course that was 100% of the features on launch. The game’s features are colossal now
It’s as broad as an ocean, but as deep as a puddle. I’m glad people enjoy it, but I couldn’t. The planets aren’t interesting, because you know there can’t be anything unique anywhere with the proc gen (there are some more rare planet types, but even those aren’t very interesting). This basically means the big selling point of the game, the exploration, isn’t worth doing. The crafting and base building are just a grind. Flying is really boring with too many guardrails. An interesting game requires the ability to make mistakes and fail, in my opinion, and they’re scared to let that happen.
Sadly true. I jump in every few years. Make a new character, do the run, do the new stuff, do the current season. It’s all still the same just with more.
CP2077 on the other hand did it. I never had an issue at launch like the loud groups did. But I appreciate the work, the qol updates, and the expansion. They did turn that game around … but again, I didn’t see the initial problems anyways …
I ran into so many bugs in Cyberpunk when playing on an Xbox at launch, but most of them were just fun to laugh at, I didn’t get mad about it.
You clearly didn’t make the mistake of getting it on PS4. Waiting a couple years and trying it on pc was entirely night and day
For Cyberpunk, I’m a pc player through and through. But I had friends with better hardware that encountered a lot of issues too. I guess I just got lucky. And I’m happy I did tbh. The game world (cyberpunk genre inclusive) means so much to me.
I didn’t have a great pc when it released, but man, they really shoulda nixed the PS4 version, it was not good lol. Either way I just started a new run the other day full reflex katana mode and it’s very fun, I’m just glad I gave it a second chance honestly
I’m glad you gave it another shot. It’s a good story with some great world building
I love No Man’s Sky
I mean, it’s what they promised, and some more now. That’s just not a game for everyone. It’s a little bit of everything with none of it being well fleshed out because I don’t think they know how to do any one thing specifically well at all. But like, if you’re into that type of game it’s fine? If you’re not, well then of course you’re not gonna like it not every game is for everyone.
Really, really hoping Light No Fire turns out good. Really hoping. The reduced scope (one planet instead of a universe) might make it doable. This might also be wishful thinking on my part.
I got my money’s worth out of it.
Because I didn’t pay for it, but still.
It’s a decent enough game for $free.50, assuming you like the sub genre.
I sense another cyberpunk, which honestly would be a great outcome
I am done with giant open world games. Data point of one but my current preference is shorter, much more narrowly scoped games.
My current preference is games that have a requirement like “graphics card (optional)”
Cataclysm dda. You can just play it on a terminal.
Though now that I think it… It’s a giant open world game.
Same! Lately I’ve been going back to 90’s titles to see what I missed out on and trying new genres, which has been unexpectedly rewarding, found quite a few gems that really stood the test of time.
How could you not enjoy running across the map for 20 min for a 2 min fetch quest and then going back another 20 min to another part of the map to speak to the person who gives you the reward? Don’t you like commuting?
I mean, I have hundreds of hours on American Truck Simulator.
Hey, fuck you. Sometimes just commuting is a nice change of pace from my favorite game, Desert Bus.
Desert Bus is soon!
My roommate still plays GTA5 and all she does is sit online and gamble in the casino. She plays in the living room for hours just to grind a new car only to use the same 2 motorcycles or some new missions she won’t play.
That’s grim, but definitely been there in other games.
IDK she seems to enjoy it. I guess she’s trying to get every car in pink before it shutters. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I think it will be. Why are they clamoring to get as much money up front as possible otherwise?
The online mode might flop, since part of the success of 5’s online mode was that it was so generous and buggy at the start that the initial waves of online players became trillionaires in-game. This allowed subsequent waves to be preyed upon by Rockstar but also boosted by the old timers.
Other than the lack of Free Mode activities, GTA Online was a ton of fun on consoles in the early days (it peaked around the time Sumo came out IMO), but I’m willing to bet it will flop immediately in GTA 6, given how much more monetized it’s going to be this time around. I mean it flopped almost instantly on PC with half the monetization, and I don’t have a console now, so I have to wait for it to come to PC and hope for the best.
The only possible saving grace is the fact that the FiveM devs are involved. But I’m not going to hold my breath. They’ll probably monetize those servers too.
(Also I still prefer GTA IV’s multiplayer to both GTA Online and FiveM. Cops and Crooks and that game’s version of GTA Race were some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a video game! V nerfed GTA Race so much that they sucked all the fun out of it.)
It really would. Still hoping it’s good.
Even if its decent at release, its bound to be filled with bugs that wont be fixed properly because they layed off so many devs. Its gonna be a maintenance nightmare.
