I have played every GTA before, some even got popular like Vice city for some reason. And I am not as hyped as everyone online. It’s just another GTA don’t make it more deep then it is. Back in the day people made GTA clones as a massive meme to make jokes.

      I don’t know how to answer because if I say not really you will just keep saying you do care. So I care as much for this as seeing random videos on my youtube recomended I never watch.

        I feel you man, and I wanted to care, hell I bought my series x in 22 anticipating GTA6. I didn’t expect to wait 4+ years. In that time time I’ve grown tired of waiting, was unaware that GTA5 online was a hot mess and lastly, I’m so fucking over Xbox. It was one thing when I had the 360. Buy a game and play it. The on the One the updates were maddening. Don’t use the console for a few weeks and you needed a 3 gig update to use your games.

        The Series X takes all the shitty from Xbox and amplified it. The goddamned console is pointless and I can honestly say it was absolutely not worth upgrading. My switch 1 was significantly more enjoyable. Definitely the last Xbox I’ll buy.

    I would have been excited about GTA 6 had it come out well over 5 years ago and if Rockstar hadn’t gone from awesome gaming company to another corporate money cow

    I wouldn’t say this is unpopular, I think most people don’t care about GTA 6. They just keep it to themselves cuz they actually don’t care about GTA 6. Unlike some…

    I lost interest in the GTA franchise when they stopped supporting modding. The core games themselves have been engaging enough, but my favourite part was always replacing the cars and driving around in cars I’ll never get to own.

    You’re on Lemmy, this isn’t unpopular here. Hell go look at the Top of Gaming over the last 6 months and you’ll see everyone is just dogpiling on it. Lemmy’s full of hipsters in their own way. Way too cool for anything that might be mainstream.

    God help you if you are excited for GTA 6 on Lemmy.

      I am interested, I will be watching streams and videos. But I will probably never play it myself, unless like a mate has it and offers me to give it a go. But I will be watching. I think it’s easier to be intriqued here where it is not forced for months after months. Now that I think of it, I don’t think I have seen a single post or meme about this… Am I sheltering myself too much? Probably not… When does it even come out? Is it soon?

        I wanna say the 18th? I dunno, it’s hard to get excited when there’s no hard copy. It’s like oh yeah, just buy it some day and download it at your leisure, that’s the release date. Then when you want, download the patch to make it playable. Or don’t. I’m going back to bed.

      I’ll get the Linux native build that eventually shows up on the internet. But I don’t care if I have to wait a decade for it.

        At the current rate you’ll probably get it before the official Windows build is out.

      I was thinking the same but I didn’t know if I could say it I would probably test it after months and then figure it out from there if it’s worth it

        The last time I legitimately played a Rockstar game on PC, I lost internet for a couple days, and after a short while the “offline mode” of the game suddenly stopped working and it demanded me to go online again. For GTA V. Fortunately I had The Saboteur DRM-free, so I played that to completion instead, and I had so much more fun. Point is I’m not going to pay for the privilege of a multi billion dollar game company dangling the ability to play another open world crime sim in front of me.

    Fans will shut you off, but I feel the same, we can’t be alone.

    I got open world fatigue.

    I gave up on anything Rockstar related when they got into the business of union busting.

    As soon as Rock$tar started to double and then triple dip on GTA5 sales across next gen and PC… I vowed to never buy another game from them. And never even considered playing online.

    I’ll pirate GTA6 at some point once it inevitably comes to PC just because it means denying them the sale. But until then, don’t care or think I’m missing anything worthwhile.

    Yeah I am really sick of the hype for this. I actually bought GTA5 a few months back (thrift store find for $5) and still haven’t played it.

    I spent countless hours on GTA3 and a little on Vice City. I never once played the actual storylines of those games. I just learned cheats in order to drive around and cause mayhem. GTA3, for me, remains the best because the graphics are fake enough that everything is comical. The more realistic it got the more messed up some of it felt.

    GTA6’s graphics do look nice. And as a former Floridian in curious to explore this iteration of Vice City. But I ain’t paying $100 for a download in order to do so.

      GTA5 is fun in story mode. Driving and mayhem only gets you so far.

      I’d recommend trying to progress the story in 5.

      Unlocks characters also.
