It's gonna be on YouTube 6 hours later, just wait
This is the biggest thing. If it'd been a week or a month I would've been annoyed, but 6 hours? C'mon, that's nothing.
I'm mostly annoyed about the fact that the game was supposed to have released by now so how on earth can there not be gameplay footage of it yet? How far behind in development must it have been for them not to have been confident to show gameplay up until now. I'm pretty sure GTA V had gameplay at least six months before actual release.
Assuming that this announcement is going to be gameplay.
I agree, but YongYea is a talentless, opportunistic piece of shit.
How did he hurt you?
Of course it's manufactured, but also true. Juat look at people who pay like 50% extra to play a game early. Good job asshole you got to plat 6 hours early as not only an unpayed gametester, you payed for it. Some people deserved to be scammed, but at the end, it affects everyone.
This whole "gamer outrage" has to be manufactured for clicks right? Surely there's not that many people that would get outraged that they will see a goddamn TRAILER 6 hours after other people. I mean fuck Rockstar for pulling this shit, but this whole thing reeks of ragebait.
It's a yongyea video. Of course it's rage bait.
Also, I wonder if this is how Rockstar will generate press now. They used to rely on news screaming about a a torture scene, or prostitution being in the game. Now it's about getting the influencers riled up, and it's easy to do that with something stupid like this.
This is GTA we're talking about; The entire series has thrived on stoking flames of controversy since at least the second game. It would not surprise me if this was a tactical decision to manufacture controversy. Just look how often it's being reported on.
You crazy. I don't even pay to buy a game unless I decide I like it. Last time that happened was Clair Obscur. Could barely put it down until I beat it, so the next time I glanced at Steam I bought it.
The soundtrack just came out on vinyl.
Union busting assholes don't deserve money.
I stopped caring about GTA 6. I've got no money and am on pc
Same. I'm also on Linux, and knowing them they'll add something that will break on Linux.
Same, no interest in anything Rockstar puts out after they poisoned GTAV with that garbage kernel anticheat and excluded Linux players. I had every GTA game since in my Steam library as well as RDR2 and LA Noire, but no more. I won't be buying anything they put out from now on. No Tux, no bux.
It's because they weren't exposed to the writings of Richard Stallman early enough in life.
I agree but you're not going to change many minds by calling people cattle and dehumanising them.
I've given up on trying to change idiot's minds. Ill just enjoy my life and they can eat the shit sandwiches they make for themselves.
Unfortunately lots of people seem happy to trade convenience and privacy for content. I have a friend who has Amazon and I'm always annoyed that he has adverts on there despite the fact he actually pays for it! I pirate everything these days and he doesn't particularly have any objections but streaming services are just too easy I think. He is very tech literate too, just can't be bothered to do something else.
Big games seem to just get worse and worse these days. Graphics are almost the only thing that seem to be getting better, the rest is just full of shit like microtransactions, games full of bugs on release, content specifically partitioned off just to sell to people later....I much prefer indie and (not sure what the right term is) games that are maybe not super popular but still have enough backing and talent to be good.
More money than sence?
I stopped caring about gta with san Andreas. Both GTA IV and V where huge disappointments. I'm sure VI will be incredibly bland too.
Nah, you may have not liked them but they were both great.
This situation just advocates in favor of piracy. So I'm totally in favor.
Try to imagine how may idiots would buy subscription for netslop
