Booted up GTAO the other day and I'm straight up worried about GTA6.

I hear it. GTAO could still be the most played game on steamcharts if they hadn't tried to wring the players for every cent.
But man, that driving engine, and that flying engine.
I just hope they updated the gunplay.
vehicle damage also on point
Fucking flaming gasoline trails, vehicles actually running out of gas after having their tanks punctured, it seems like the ejection was really toned down in GTAO but you could really get out of the windshield in single player.
I did get ejected through an incoming car in cyberpunk recently and was like "wow been a while."
I haven't played in a couple years. Are you still bombarded with texts and phone calls as soon as you load into the game? And is theininap barely visible because of all the mission/activity markers?
Because that's how it was last time I got on there. And that was right after they added the demolition derby stuff.
I've never experienced being bombarded with texts and calls in GTAO on Xbox...
Those fucking flying motorcycle things and flying Deloreans are annoying as hell though.
No, they've done a couple of really nice qol updates lately that got rid of most of those, or at least reduced the calls to texts. I mean there's still some annoyances, but it is better than it was. At least, last time I was there. Only join in maybe once a month or so now.
Reading this comment makes me give kudos for letting GTA V (singleplayer) exist as its own thing. I haven't played GTAO since probably 2015 and have no idea what it's like because of how little Rockstar pushes it on Singleplayer players.
Just wish they released any SP content
Growth mode only to go into shrink mode some years from now at employee (and likely consumer) expense.... Why can't companies just go for stable mode?
Because maximum profit at all costs mode.
It's nothing personal, it's only business. You understand.
:p
Any chance of this being a flop? Years ago, we would have said no way, but we’ve seen some high-profile screwups before. It’s certainly at the time period where Rockstar might have brain drain on its better developers.
Zero chance at all in my opinion.
They could shit the bed completely on it and still sell millions of copies.
I've been a fan since the original late 90s top down version and there's no way I'd miss it.
They won't shit the bed though. It's going to be fucking amazing.
I agree with you and coming from a different perspective. I've tried the games and they just don't do it for me for whatever reason. I don't see this flopping at all. I also think recent launches will make sure they have things ready to go. It will sell like crazy and the fans that love the games will love it I'm sure.
Right on.
I can appreciate that perspective.
There's just no way on earth I could imagine it flopping at this point even if I personally didn't think I'd like it so it makes sense to me.
