Honestly, if my kids can play Last of Us 1 when they're old enough, I'll probably buy it and go through the experience again myself. The original is a core memory as a gamer but I don't expect to the new version at launch.
Annapurna is currently the only publisher I trust. How long before they fall?
It probably wasn’t highly monetized so the cancelled it.
So, "improvements" in GTA VI include:
– Releasing a game with less content (to avoid crunch)
– despite reducing content, push the release date back 2 years (and most likely more before they're done)
– taking all the edge out of it (so as not to offend any of the overly-sensitive types)
– Remove toxic management, including the original co-founder and creator
– switch arbitrarily to a female protagonist, rather than invest the resources to give gamers a choice, as they've historically asked (hell, if Cyberpunk could manage it….)
I can hardly wait to see how this turns out…
I can physically NOT believe gta is the most anticipated game. I have not had any interest in any gta title since PS2. I tried gta 5 and to this day have no clue what the hype is about. What a waste of time. And 6 will be about as idfferent from 5 as iphone 6 was different from iPhone 5 rofl
Tbh ubisoft did all that to themselves whoever are the game directors and managers have no idea what they're doing
Sounds like Rockstar is a shell of its former self. ALSO… Fem Latina Protag… Pass.
Idk why they thought roller champions would be a good idea? Skull and Bones will bomb. Ubi will be sold or go bankrupt. They have had awful ideas lately.
Will play Polynesian game by Ubi, ONLY IF, it isn't completely filled with a smartass like Zeus in Fenyx. That was so annoying.
GTA going woke is peak No Fucking Thanks. Nasty.
Do you think when they turned CERN on again the other, that the universe we entered is a universe where all new concepts for games no longer can exist and only remakes or reskins of games created in the past destroyed universe will be?
nfts use up as much energy as a google search. saying nfts are causing an environmental hazard is not the equivalent as people in the USA using A/C. i hate nfts. we also hated loot boxes, we also hated dlcs in past, we hated preorder content, we also hated ads during loading screens. guess what.. they are here to stay and gaming will get further ruined
RE: GTA VI – I smell woke garbage hurtling toward us at this very moment.
I just remember, Raycon is a brand made by that one guy who f@ked Kim Kardashian
You allready have planet of the apes.
I'll possibly play GTA 6 single player… And then if it Does have a multiplayer like 5 I'll NOT play that shit show like I didn't play it for 5.
Shark cards f£&k o£f
is anyone else thinking that GTA will now just be a PC culture ruined game?
'''As you achieve the perfect mow'' lmao!
GTA VI being culturally sensitive? I smell a potential failure in the winds. GTA games are supposed to satirise real-world prejudices, not sweep them under the rug and pretend they don't exist.
am i daft or are games themselves supposed to be nft's
so …. and wait for this…..
you buy a game once…. and own the game nft.
then you can play it on anything you want , pc , ps5 , xbox , switch , phone , ect…
basically anything that will run the game.
1st studios / publishers to do this will lose enisially but win big long term.
tell me I'm wrong.
but please tell me where.
A polictial correct Gran Theft Auto. Can't wait.
Fratboy Culture and Crunch = Best selling games ever made
"Diversity and Sensitivity" = Failure
Not everyone hates NFTs. Thats why theyre so profitable. Fuckin hell do you hate money cause bad people use it? No. So why hate on NFTs cause some asshole company is using it?
I swear the hate on NFTs is just parroting from people who havent done a minute of research on it.
Oh No .. Not with GTA 6.. SMH
If gta loses the cynicism and satire that made the franchise popular they will lose a lot of the core fan base.
GTA 6 2 years away? i dont believe that. its atleast 4 to 5 years away.
"Toxic" managers removed could mean this GTA game will be ass… The "toxic" managers can be the ones that didn't accept the woke bullshit in that case this game might be the worst gta ever… 🤦🏻♂️ Gay stripbars and drag queens? Trans people give you the mission and stuff? 😬
