      Are you seriously questioning whether there is any hype for GTA?

      GTAV Online may have hindered Rockstar’s goodwill for fans of the single player mode, but the Online mode rakes in cash.

      RDR2 released in 2018 and is widely considered one of the best single player games with one of the best open worlds, strongly signalling to fans that Rockstar hasn’t lost its mojo.

      GTA VI is, unquestionably, the most anticipated game of the year. To suggest otherwise is to be insanely disingenuous on your part.

        The main writers have since left Rockstar. Dan Houser left in 2020. I feel GTA will lose it’s charm with this next entry, I hope I am wrong, but something just feels off. Either way, won’t be buying it until it’s on a good sale, reviews dependent too.

    I don’t know why but I couldn’t give two shits about GTA6, maybe I’m just burned out on AAA games

      Because it will be full of micro transactions and bullshit content no-one asked for, with anti cheat horseshit that will pretty much be a virus on your computer.

      Sad thing is that it’ll still sell millions because most people don’t even know when they are being served shit.

      I just don’t have the patience to wait even more. I have a PS5, so why wouldn’t I play it on release??

          Huh? For £70 I’m getting -

          • Huge open world
          • Very fun and emergent gameplay
          • Likely a world with multiple competing systems and subsystems to play with
          • Incredibly detailed world to get lost and immersed in
          • Given the RDR2 writing, likely a really well written story

          But you’ve decided to latch onto one aspect of the previous game (the Online mode) to try to be as contrarian as possible?

          I sure as heck will pay £70 for the above. And so will many millions of others. Sorry if that does a poo on your hate-train.

        I’d rather wait than buy a console for a single game that will barely hit 720p/30.

          I think they mean it will never be PC only, so it’d be an infinite wait. Or maybe some future release version will be console only.

          Also, “720p/30” lol

    Judging by all the shark card crap they jammed into the last GTA, I fully expect them to shovel a bunch of crap in to make more money: $70 base games, deluxe editions, DLC, micro transactions, social club integration, required internet connections, all of it.

    I miss the old GTAs before they got greedy.
