Reported for spam

They linked to the gamespot YouTube video, resolving the issue.

Leaving up.

I'm not buying it because Rockstar and Take Two are shitty greedy assholes.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago

Note that they didn't say they wouldn't be playing it

looks good but i'm not buying it lol

stupid penalty for making me wait for PC release is that i will steal the game

Then it isn't piracy right? It's just downloading software

I wonder what the DRM situation will be like.
Will they have some hopped up version of Arxan that's gonna be super hard to crack?
Or is the PC Release delay good enough that they aren't particularly worried about piracy?

Of course given the popularity and antecipation I'm sure there will be all forms of groups trying to take a stab at it, but I still wonder how it'll go down.

The game won't run without an armed agent pointing a gun at your head who will pull the trigger if you ever start enjoying it the wrong way.

I wonder how many hardworking people they’re going to plunge into uncertainty by ruthlessly laying them off.

At least the line will go up

This looks like a fun time. I look forward to having the hardware to run it, in 10 years. Maybe in 20, when I retire.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Cute thinking you'll get to retire in 20 years when you sink all your savings on hardware.

[–] rimu@piefed.social 17 points 1 week ago

Yes as soon as I posted that I realised how silly it was

Sounds good, but what do you plan on doing in the game?

[–] Anchorxiety@reddthat.com 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lucia is a dream for horny modders. I can already see the plethora of nude mods and mods to give her comically huge boobs and ass.

Guess Panam in Cyberpunk wasn't enough.

Okay after watching this video, I figured out what the deal is with this game I don't connect with: Netflix. They all wanna do their games now like it's a Netflix show. Not just Rockstar, but all of the major companies.

Graphically... it looks great. If what we're seeing isn't just all post-effects they slapped onto the video.

The dudes voice I don't like. Apparently I'm not the only person judging by some of the comments I've read heh. He just sounds like a doofus white guy. But an unfunny one at that! And they're somehow making his voice sound Deeper? Like if 1990s, Point Break, Keanue had a deeper voice I guess is what they are going for? The problem like some others have pointed out is that the voice doesn't match what we're seeing as the Model.

Eh. Anyways whatever. I'm old. I prefer the old school goofy cartoon GTAs over this Netflix Amazon Movie shit they put out now. I'm not big on Hyper Realism these days. Kind of over it really. That's just me though.

Seems like a good game but the expensive price plus the fact it will be 30FPS on launch is a no-go for me. Will wait for PC release (if that ever comes?). Got enough backlog games anyway.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

The PC release will happen. It's the largest platform for this type of game now.

Not watching a trailer for a game that isn't coming to PC.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

*In 2026.

It's kind of obvious they are double dipping on the anxious that would buy a console solely for GTA.

I would probably buy it (when it's on sale at a reasonable price!) if it wasn't for the poor treatment of their employees and alleged attempts at union busting.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wouldn't even say alleged, it was very blatant. An employment tribunal has already ruled against them and the case goes to full trial next month.

Kudos to you for posting for the sake of denying them. I won't watch because I'd rather keep blind; I actually really enjoyed GTAV (once it was on PC and sold for next to nothing lol) and I'll probably get this several years after release the same way. I'm remarkably good at avoiding spoilers for unreasonable amounts of time (e.g. I found out the cake was a lie a decade after Portal released, lol).

Also fyi, GTA games are generally good and you can tell the writers and world builders had fun with it despite their shit management. It's not a bad idea to pirate or buy at a strict discount to at least see the story they created. Plus, I'm an LA native and GTAV is practically a documentary!

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Characters, location, even scenarios seem generic as fuck. Lacking the spicy humor that GTA5 had.

Seems like the writers have done the classic error of not endearing anyone to the player. I'm not drawn to or interested in finding out anything more about them.

I'm sure this is exactly what they wanted.

"The movie they tried to ban" effect

Fuck. Unfortunately looks really good.

R* feels like prime, 2009 Apple: fucking insufferable but unfortunately make a strong product, if overpriced.

[–] tobz619@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean sure they've had money and time than God to make it, but boy did it look like they spent it well. The big thing for me is the real time lighting, a lot of lights are drawing shadows and a lot of objects are self-shadowing on each light... it's crazy!

It looks amazing everything about it is incredible. Except Jason's voice. It's so immersion breaking I can't put my finger on it. It's not that it just lacks emotion, Arthur's character in RDR2 lacked emotion most of the time. And he's a great character

This is something else entirely. It distracted me during the entire reveal and I found myself getting more annoyed with it as the trailer went. It sounds filtered and muffled like he was talking into a box fan. During recording

I don't want an extended preview, I just want a PC release. Gotta dodge spoilers for a year or two. That's not gonna work.

I think it'll be a great game, but disappointed they don't want to release for me. I was so hyped I was going to buy a PlayStation, until PlayStation started their latest BS with discs. Now I'm forced to wait to give them money

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

GTA5 lost me in the campaign, and I can't imagine GTA6 will be any better in that regard. Never bothered with the online features. I'm not even disappointed they aren't doing a PC release and doubt I'll buy it even if they do.

I mean, just the idea that a purchase of the game amounts to tacit support of their union busting bullshit is reason enough not to buy it. Their games sell the gangster fantasy, but GTA6 as a product is basically the antithesis of rebellion.

Oh I really liked GTA 5s campaign, I replay every couple of years

24:25 she leaves a blood splat on the wall.

Five seconds later it's gone.

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder!

[–] neo2478@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

Well, plenty of people got fired for trying to form an union.

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I'll buy it on steam for like $10 bucks.... if there is a decent single player campaign, otherwise I'll pass
