GTA VI

[Null]

Grand Theft Auto VI is Rockstar's next open-world modern sandbox, set in Vice City and the surrounding state of Leonida (a much larger take on the Miami-inspired setting from 2002's Vice City). It follows Jason and Lucia, the series' first female protagonist, as an uneasy criminal duo — a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style pair pulled deeper into Vice City's underworld after a robbery goes wrong.

I wanted to get an idea of who was getting this and who's skipping it. I've been really contemplating giving it a miss as I'm so annoyed about the digital only aspect of it. But i'd be lying if I said that was going to be easy for me. I can't even reliably boycott corporations for funding human rights atrocities, never mind for destroying physical media.

Same feelings as you. I was really excited for it then the news about the distribution of this really soured me on it for a few months. I'm still sour. Sony's announcement not long after softened the blow of this to an extent, as R* had to have known and figured it didn't make sense to go with a disc release given lots will be playing this well into the PS6 / next Xbox's lifetimes.

Regardless, yeah, I'm too weak to pass it up. The showcase was decent, nothing in the story or about the characters stood out to me. Jason seems boring, Lucia seems OK but nothing special so far but its early days. But that being said I haven't really liked a GTA protagonist a lot since CJ in San Andreas. I just want a big sandbox to fuck around in and there's nothing better than GTA for that, so yeah I'll be there. I'll be bitter for a lot of reasons but I'll be there.

I've not played a GTA game since Vice City Stories on the PSP and I won't be getting this one. It's never truly appealed to me as a series since I just used to fuck about on GTA 1 and 2 as a kid and I was always playing something else when 4 and 5 were released to ever give up time to play them. Probably a combination of Football Manager, various CoD's/ Battlefields and Pokemon Roms tbh.

But I am massively interested in how this things goes because it's a massive deal. To me GTA is like Hulk Hogan (hear me out). Hogan was bigger than wrestling, people who never watched it knew who he was. People who do not game or have not gamed in decades know GTA. They know GTA VI is a big deal. It's going to shatter every metric in gaming and this is arguably the biggest moment in gaming in quite sometime (I don't think it's hyperbole to argue potentially the biggest launch ever). I'll be keeping an eye out for stories on console units shifted because people will buy consoles jist to play this. But with the no physical media fiasco and this being a game with no involvement from Dan Hauser since the first time in forever and having lost other key figures this is a massive moment for Rockstar regardless of how much bank they're going to make. They don't have to just release a good game, they *have* to top GTA V.

I'll be getting it. If only because FOMO is one of my biggest character flaws.

I mean, I have loved GTA in the past, and I have no doubts this will be excellent. San Andreas is an all-timer.

Yeah I'll be skipping this. Really nothing about it has actually appealed to me in the slightest. I don't really care if it's a big fat AAAAA game in expenses, I'm not really fussed what level of hyperrealism the game has or detail there is on NPC's sweaty chests etc. It doesn't actually look like it's doing anything which really makes me wanna bite gameplay wise.

Not only that but damn this game is expensive lol I've got other shit I wanna do with my money.

I don't know how you found out what it is I wanna spend my money on but please keep it to yourself.

Must be nice for all of you not being absolute SLAVES to the hype

At this point I'm not even convinced I'll last past getting it on release date. Just downloading it really angrily.

Essentially in the same camp. I don't even get to boycot because it wasn't really a game I'd pegged for buying anyway. I've had a lot of fun pissing around on GTA games with my nephews and stuff taking it in turn to see how long I can last with the cops after me, but that was when I was a kid and I've not really engaged with the story of one besides Liberty City Stories. I've owned GTAV 3 times and have only ever played the first two missions, every single time. I'm sure it's got a lot going for it-I just haven't bothered to play it. I should probably do all the other GTA games I own and haven't touched before I even consider buying GTA6.

Nah GTAV and its cast suck, I wouldn't blame anyone for bouncing off it. I love San Andreas and Vice City, they were really fun.
