the most highly-anticipated video game of all time…

Ehhhh I guess, if your asking the kids that play online. Everyone I know and have seen really does not care about it. They jumped the shark with all the online bs.

You could say they jumped the… SHARK CARDS!

GTA 6 trailer is currently sitting at 206M. It’s not my most anticipated game (MH: Wilds!), but I would be delusional to think any game is more anticipated that gta 6 right now.

Only if Elder Scrolls 6 were to somehow be announced to come out by the end of this year

GTA 5 was highly anticipated, even before anyone knew anything about online. GTA 6 is highly anticipated for the same reason. It’s a massive IP and most people just play the singleplayer anyway. Just because you and your friends don’t really care, doesn’t mean it’s not going to be the biggest launch of the decade (well, in history probably). I’m skeptical myself and will see what it is like once it comes out, but I can’t say I’m not interested in another GTA game.

I don’t actually play GTA online, but they are very successful with their online offering, their daily low looks to be >60k concurrent players. I suspect it’d be VERY hard not to continue with the online bit.

I don’t play, but that’s probably caused by users with potato connections or extremely high ping being allowed to connect to the server. Pretty common problem with online games.

I think you mean “they jumped the shark cards”.

It’s not like they care anyways, it’s all just a live service now because they’re raking in the cash. I’ve resigned to probably not being able to play this series again at this point.

I mean, just the trailer became the highest viewed youtube video in 24 hours, which is not music. I’d say it’s highly anticipated.

Yeah.

You just KNOW there’s going to be more online microtransaction-y bullshit in 6 because they made SO MUCH from 5.

Makes it hard to be more than I’ll-wait-for-reviews-and-the-first-sale interested, personally.

I still think a commentor in another thread said it perfectly. GTA 6 will likely be a single player sample of GTA Online 2

I predict the online parts of GTA6 will bleed into the single player game. There will be things your SP characters can access only if you have unlocked it in online. Garages, cars, weapons and suchlike. Maybe even money. Will be done as though your online char is part of your SP gang or something.

I bought the ps3 copy on release and tbh enjoyed the sp greatly

I retried it on xbox x recently to play through again. It somehow felt wrong. I can’t put my finger on why kinda took some of the interest out for me. Zero interest in any of the online billshit either.

Kind of a pitty as I have been playing since the original top down game.

My over all interest is probably the same as yours

I’ve been playing since 1 as well. 5 completely killed any desire I had for the series. There’s some good things in it, it’s not a bad game or anything. Definitely something off though, I agree.
