Not because I care about GTA6, but because the idea of paid time exclusive ads is dystopian and I like the idea of sharing something Rockstar doesn’t want me to.

Not going to bother finding a replacement if this one gets taken down since it’ll be on YouTube in a few hours anyways. Mirror it or don’t.

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

      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.

      GTA IV was the last one I’ve ever owned. Been tempted by 5:00 a few times but I have got enough games that I’ll never play. I don’t need it as well.

    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

    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 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.

      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.

      Point to the spicy yet endearing character… Because I didn’t see any. Saw some stiff cop-like stand-ins though.

      Where was the social commentary? The jokes/parody about society? The fun stuff that made GTA5 a media storm.

        If I’m getting critical I agree - the story seemed somewhat mild/cliche. The dialog was lacking any sort of interesting banter, it was mostly fluctuating between business and panic. I’m not really loving Jason’s VA, but I didn’t dig Niko’s VA either at first.

        However the sandbox that I’m seeing in action (ie, the police chase, hallway gun fight) is frankly incredibly and ridiculously detailed to a point of absurdity. It’s a generational leap forward in open world richness, of that respect.

        I’m hopeful it doesn’t take always take itself so seriously. There was some commentary shown in the first trailer too, though.

          Yeah, and there’s some swamp area stuff in this clip - but I don’t think that’s a very wide net of parody.

          I think you’re right. It will be A+ gameplay and detail. Switching between feelings of tension, panic, and business. And no doubt there’s cops to escape.

          Watch Dogs had some of that. It didn’t sell it though. GTA5 exploded in popularity because the media were baited into talking about it, GTA6 feels like a mature game in a genre defined by GTA5. That fine, enough for most people. Cops and Robbers is a fun enough genre for most people.

    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

      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.

      Now introducing our main character: Generic White Guy! I also didn’t see one joke or parody… The thing that’s expected of GTA… It used to be social commentary. This just looks like a cop show about drugs.

        Maybe the game itself is the parody. Like when Jeremy Strong’s character in Succession thinks he’s gangster because he listens to rap music and does drugs sometimes. But he’s still just an insecure, corporate manchild.

          Isn’t that the premise of every cop/drug movie ever?

          I kind of expected a game where you shifted between comedic versions of the current cast of social characters there are in American society today.

          Parodying all sides of poverty/wealth, woke and Nazis, Q-pilled Grandmas with guns, Tech Billionaires and fascists, gen-Z and gen Alpha and aging millennials… Hit us all up and make fun of it all.

          I’m betting there’s no ICE deportations, flock cameras, or AI bros in the script.

          Rockstar used to be a British company parodying American extremism… But they moved the whole company to LA. Now they’re an American company, contributing to America’s corporate culture and politics. That’s probably why this feels undercooked.

          Yes, the drug one cut off early… The fast food one felt like society has already passed that level of marketing. Like, if it was on TV today I would jusr accept it as a marketing campaign.

          People IRL know where meat comes from. It wasn’t like “hunt your own burger” - or “Now with the special cannibal beef”… It was Poe’s law, nothing signalling extreme parody.

          …they just felt like, ads. More like a simulation of what some executive thought was in GTA5, rather than someone moving with it.
