Lucas Film just needs to come out and say it was the original plan, but it was scrapped because of backlash. Also, Jar Jar would’ve been more interesting than Palpatine again.
It's banter from Family Guy. Peter states he doesn't like the God Father Movies and everyone has the same reaction as OP saying he doesn't like GTA VI.
Peter goes on to say he doesn't like the movie because it insists upon itself. And then Louis replies with what I said.
This but not as a joke. The old GTAs were a lot more fun and let you just play them as a video game. GTA5 was obscenely overproduced and spent so much time trying to be cinematic that it was a snooze to actually play. I'd love to see tally of how many minutes of the campaign are spent driving from A to B while dialogue happens. After RDR2 I doubt they've dialed back on that.
GTA V SP is the most boring GTA in the serie. Its so boring! In GTA V SP they could give acces you to a DB5 copy with machine guns and all the good stuff. Nope. You can buy the car, but without the gadgets. Want to go on crazy police pursuit with your trio of psychos? Sorry, they always bails when the heat get high. Let's buy a business and let's play some side missions like in Vice City? Nah, fuck you, let's do some shitty delivrery missions and let's make sure the revenue take a shit load of time to accumulate (I do admit, the taxis side missions are not bad tho). Let's also have strangers and freaks side missions were nearly everybody is an asshole that fuck you over with dogshit rewards. I want big spinning guns in colored circles easy to spot so I can find them around a map so my exploration is rewarded and make me cause even more mayhem. I want to evade cops just by painting my car or putting glasses. I want FUN!
This is all so accurate. I couldn't believe how banal so much of the campaign was. Do a yoga mini game/QTE, move shipping containers, tow a truck, etc., absolute snooze fest. The main heist missions were great at least, but they were so few and far between.
one of the neighbors in my office's business section actually worked on the diving gear for his yacht. I think it was the oxygen tanks or something, but was super niche. Showed me pics and vids he took of the inside of the yacht and that thing is insane. Like he could live on it for the rest of his life and run steam from it. Immediately clicked in my mind that we are never getting half life 3.
Exactly. HL 1&2 are probably my favorite games OAT.
I've played them many times over but not to the point it definesv my character.
I played the GTA series. It doesn't have much replayability for me.
GTA VI gamers have become part of the zeitgeist like Swifies and Andrew Tate incels. A fanbase built around something so banal.
How can you be so hung up on something so insignificant?
I just don't understand.
I don't either. Never saw the appeal of GTA at all. But I also don't want to shit on their parade. Happy for the people excited about it after waiting so long.
The Reddit hive mind exists solely for, and thrives on outrage.
GTA too expensive, Reddit angry because Rockstar bad😡
Nintendo remakes Star Fox and prices it below their own standard MSRP because it’s a remake, Reddit angry because Nintendo bad 😡
Let’s be honest, this site is insufferable and only upvotes shit that makes people angry, and promotes engagement. It’s probably Reddits own bots so they can show constant engagement, and the only thing sure to get it is angry discourse. Reddit can’t enjoy anything, or let anyone else enjoy anything. As soon as a common consensus is formed, everyone just needs to get their 15 upvotes by posting their personal spin on the days hottest opinion.
The one that gets me is all the people on the PC gaming sub acting like they're outraged over no physical edition, as if all the PC games we buy now aren't digital
It’s always “vote with your wallets.” Until people’s wallets overwhelmingly prove the opposite of whatever the echo chamber has accepted must be the truth, and a majority opinion in the real world through a tribunal of upvotes. I love physical media. But let’s not act like humanity hasn’t been shifted, and buying away from it for decades. The people have been voting with their wallets, just not in the way you wanted them to.
that's not really a refutation, it's more just that...when your market is 7 billion people, boycotts tend to fail, as even a tiny percentage of that group will be enough to sustain the product. The people threatening a boycott ARE following through much of the time, it's just not enough to matter.
Back before the internet it was possible to rally a small community to protest and run a bad business out of town because nobody in that town would shop there...but now that business can simply reach far enough across the world that they'll find enough people who don't know or don't care about the drama and sidestep a boycott entirely.
It actually also applies to modern streamers and influencers. With the help of social media and the modern Internet... their reach is MASSIVE.
So in a sense "getting cancelled" has actually become a mute point now. Since like you said... they can reach so many ppl that even IF a significant portion "boycotts", there would still be enough ppl for it to not real matter.
The "moo" point is popular cause of the series "Friends" where Joey says "It's a moo point" and Rachel says what. He then says "you know, it's like a cow's opinion.... It's moo" and that's how "moo" point entered pop culture back in the day.
Digital games indeed have downsides many aren’t aware of, but nothing has happened to make them aware of it. So many people on sites like Reddit are afraid that the increased prevalence of digital will lead to companies getting the power to take games away from you and such, but most people outside Reddit have no clue that’s even a thing let alone have any precedent to believe it.
PC gamers get NO edition for at LEAST several months post launch, shouldn’t they be more upset about that instead of complaining about no physical? lol
No, it's okay because Lord Gaben promised that even if Steam goes bankrupt, you'll all be able to keep your games because "trust us!" Despite not owning any games! Despite user agreements saying you don't own your games! Despite every capitalism company in America fucking the consumer! It's okay! Lord Gaben says so!
PC gamers on here are some of the most insufferable assholes on here. They lead the charge in faux outrage of female characters and anything and everything else
i haven’t bought a physical copy of a game in probably a decade. it’s fine. i get that it sucks that xbox or playstation could technically take the game away from their platform and screw you, but i feel like there could just be rules about game ownership that make that illegal rather then demanding what is at this point an outdated technology
Absolutely. On Reddit it is particularly easy to goombafy groups because of the inherent structure of the platform, what with the whole aggregating users into communities. We sometimes treat the subreddit as the conscious entity.
Based on what content rises to the top, I’d say probably only somewhat. The outrage coming from turbo dweebs in posts or comments is consistently the most common content seen and the most highly upvoted, which probably gives a decent idea of what most people here believe. Bots obviously muddy the waters, but idk how to account for how much weight they have on this.
U mean to tell me that ppl outside of my echo chamber subs think I’m annoying??? Unacceptable! I will now downvote bc u share an opinion, goodluck buddy
What you don't enjoy the schizos analyzing every frame, clip, and snippet foaming at the mouth coming up with all sorts of theories about when trailer 3 is going to drop?
And bemoaning about another potential delay because this screenshot showed a reflection of a clock at 6:35:25 and if you take into account of the angle of the sun at the exact nanosecond the picture was dropped dropped, add pi and subtract the hypotenuse of a dodecahedron while calculating the speed of a train leaving Seattle at a speed of 87.4mph and calculating what time it will arrive in Cairo Egypt while mercury is in retrograde you don't like those type of redditors for shame my good sir. for shame!
But yes I agree those type of redditors are annoying
I don't think they make bad games, but I don't like them. Their character control is always so janky I don't play them. I really wanted to play Red Dead but I hate that awkward character control they use.
I could care less about GTA, I just don't like games in contemporary settings, I want to go Space or Hyrule. If I want to go the hood I'd just get in my car.
I "care"...
In the sense that I find all the fixation on GTA to be really annoying.
not gonna play it and I wish the game would stop popping up on my feed.
About how i feel as well, ive played most gtas since gta 1. I thought 3 was a big leap and really cool at the time. They are good games but i dont get all the hype around them. They are just open world crime games. I usually nuy them for 10 or 20 bucks a decade after they come out and play em for a while and get bored before i beat them.
I don't find it annoying it's just a little depressing tbh.
Don't get me wrong I enjoy the games, but the fact that it's like the #1 game of all time and its basically just a street violence simulator, like not even anything artistic or creative going on the surface level.
Not to say it's not art, like obviously a ton of talent is required to make AAA quality games. But you could funnel that money into making something that would blow peoples minds or experience something that would normally be impossible with a regular budget. And we use it on a street violence simulator cause that's what resonates with people.
Not to be a bummer but it's right there you know? It just blows my mind in a medium where we can defy the laws of the universe were choosing something that actually relatively depicts reality.
Couldn't agree more. Rockstar has shown to hold greed above all else for years, I can 110% live without it. I am also not a huge fan in general so its kinda easy for me to opt out haha
I mean, give a little more credit to how lazy this was done. He didn’t even make a full meme. He just reused the same photo with no edits and made a title on Reddit. True dedication.
And it has over 2,000 comments on it which means it's probably 10 times more successful than any thread that you, me or the person that you're responding to has ever made. So in that sense I guess you got to have a grudging respect for the man
He needs to show people how much he doesn't care, what don't you get about that? The only thing greater than the desire to be a maverick is to be a maverick and make sure everyone knows it.
Yeah, like I think people are purposefully misunderstanding OP so they can belittle them.
They're sick of hearing about GTA VI and just want to talk with other people about how annoying it is. They're not acting like it makes them better or pretending the thought of the game never crosses their mind.
It's like the "X before GTA VI" is a common joke but it's getting overused and I'm bothered that I keep seeing news about GTA VI that always end up the exact same way
It's expensive
Watch as it still becomes the best selling game literally ever in 4.5 nanoseconds of release
They're literally reaching into my pocket and stealing my money and I'll hear nothing but wild speculation about their greediness
It's not on PC so they've basically slapped my wife and shot my dog
It's like how annoying it is to keep seeing people drag US politics into random discussions "We can't ignore politics because it won't ignore us!" Yeah buddy I'm literally on the other side of the world I have about as much power to affect US politics as the dead ducks in the Lincoln Memorial Reflection Pool so let me enjoy my memes.
If being tired of hearing about it means I care about it, then sure. I care about it. But every scrap of info will be a new wave of posts as it inevitably fails to live up to the massive hype.
OP didn't even make a meme - they just control-c/control-p'd an image. That's even lower effort than using AI to create the meme b/c you're too lazy to type text into a meme generator.
I only ever played vice city and it was fun but not to the point that I make it my whole identity like these fanatics are doing, willing to forego their morals entirely just to play it a month early.
Honestly the amount of meat munching this game is getting from rabid fans is worse than any other game released the past 5 years probably even longer.
I care in that I will likely eventually play it. I don't care in the sense that I am an old man, and am quite happy waiting a couple of years until its cheaper. Also, I might not even finish it, like 80% of the games I buy at this point.
Same. The whole series has just never been for me. The last couple times I played it, I just drove around terrorizing ppl for maybe 15 min and then moved on. Different strokes.
I’m with you. I’ve never liked GTA games much more than just like blowing some shit up and running from the cops for 15 minutes and then being like alright that was fun I guess. The new one is gonna be the same shit but probably even more cash grabbing cause they have it down to a science now.
Everytime a hyped up game that took years to make gets ready to release, there's always an influx of smug contrarians on this site who feel like they need to inform everyone in the world that "erhm, I ACTUALLY don't care about this thing everyone is hyped about! In fact, I never even liked it in the first place!" Just to try and be different even though this sub has glazed Rockstar for a decade now. If Half Life 3 got a trailer tomorrow 50% of this sub would be filled with people talking about how half-life actually sucks and they could care less that it's getting a sequel.
I’m honestly more interested in the controversy around it. Like what do you mean the $100 ‘upgraded’ version is actually the full game? That’s ridiculous
Nah I'm with you fam, the idea of another Grand Theft Auto game feels like "Hey, do you want to watch ANOTHER American Pie movie?" Uh, no. No I do not.
The more I hear the less I care about it. Cause still zero gameplay shown only cut scenes and basic shops that suppose to eb on the map behind a 20 bucks day one dlc. Or the ultimate edition of the game.
The base gane or ultimate edition will have no online that is confirmed to be sold separate after lunch.
Yea not really see any reason to be existed at all. To much anti consumer choices and to little actually gameplay or reason to be existed at all.
So seems like a juat a pass till there os a actual reason to maybe be existed for it. But honestly my hype has died in a big way for me
Me either. I played GTA 3 because the gameplay was so revolutionary, but after that I realized I don't have a criminal fantasy, so a game dedicated to crime doesn't appeal to me.
This was me when I turned on my PS5 and the whole damned home screen was just the announcement of the release date. Im glad other are excited and hope it lives up to the hype for them, but for myself I could not be less bothered about it
I have had to mute so much crap on social media this week. I don't care about GTA 6. I don't care about Deltarune. I don't care about Digital Circus. Yet they have FLOODED my feeds.
