Grand Theft Auto 6

So it's finally happening. If you'd have told me back when 5 came out that it would be ten years before 6 was even announced, I wouldn't have believed it.



We're going back to Vice City. Two protagonists, a man and a woman. There have been some other leaks but I haven't seen them all. Is anyone else interested in this game?

 

Honestly I was disappointed by RDR2. High quality game but I didn't like the story or the changes to gameplay. My favourite Rockstar game is GTA 4.

 

Yeah GTA Online is awful. I have no idea why it's so popular when it takes like ten minutes to even boot up.

 

Jason and Lucia, based on the leaks. Apparently they are dating but that's not confirmed.

 

I don't like the core system, it's just busywork designed to slow everything down and in general the game's pacing is glacial. It felt like part of the recent trend for games to be "cinematic" rather than actually fun to play. The story is illogical and a lot of the events in it only happen because the characters are stupid - in reality somebody would have just shot Micah way earlier.

 

The map of RDR2 is fantastic and beautiful but not really all that fun to explore imo. When the shooting is so slow and clunky and even performing basic tasks involves a million menus, it makes the game a chore.

 

I'm interested to see what the game looks like after 10 years in development. Better not be underwhelming...

 

I feel that way about TES 6. I was 16 when Skyrim came out and by the time the next one comes out I'll be in my 30's. And based on Bethesda's recent track record the game will be trash anyway.

 

Honestly Rockstar games have always been overrated. They are clunky as hell, full of weird choices, unbalanced difficulty etc. They are so popular I think because of the idea of the games, not the execution. Same as games like Skyrim. That was part of the reason why I didn't like RDR2 either, you're supposedly in a super badass gang of hardened criminals yet you are constantly whining about being a bad guy like a mopey emo. I don't care about deconstructions of the genre, I want to rob banks, burn down towns and tie people to railroad tracks for shits and giggles. If I wanted more than that I'd read a book written by an actual author. In a lot of ways, RDR2 is just Blood Meridian but worse.
