At this point it doesn’t matter.

I don’t see how a game can live up to all this hype.

How can it not? For most people, it will be a newer and better GTA 5. And that’s all it needs to be. From the looks of it, it seems to even surpass that expectation. Maybe lot of people will be disappointed in the beginning, but only because they don’t know the entire game yet. It this does not turn out to be a Cyberpunk 2077, then based on Rockstars track record, we can expect them to deliver.

Even cyberpunk was eventually good supposedly. I was excited about it but skipped it due to the launch issues and just never got around to actually getting it.
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
At launch it was good too. For me. There was no shortage of video evidence of the game going haywire for other folks, but it worked quite well for me. I don’t know what I did differently other than playing on PC. Its bones were good.
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
The PC was the best version. Not every hardware and software was as much buggy, and maybe you just didn’t do out of the box stuff that would trigger more issues. Just guessing here. It was mostly a catastrophe on the last gen consoles (PS4 and XBOne).

Same experience for me on PC. Seeing all the talk about people’s negative experiences of it at that time was strange and unfortunate when I had only experienced two or three game-crashing bugs that were easily avoided once I found them. I wish or hope that more people had similar experiences to ours and just maybe weren’t as vocal or something. I really enjoyed that game then and still do from time to time

I recently started playing it and I can only recommend it. No bugs or anything on my Ubuntu gaming machine.
The atmosphere is great, the story is fun. The open world could be better (definitely no GTA) and I still haven’t figured out how to install weapon mods being several hours in the game.
I would never recommend preordering games and since I’m not playing multiplayer games anymore I don’t really care about when I get to play a game. I started playing the Outcast remaster via GOG for example because of nostalgia and because I never completed it when I first got it decades ago.
But: apparently they fixed Cyberpunk and it got recommended for me, so it was worth it on a discount.

I’m waiting for a few days after release, to check what the real plyers say. Still - if it’s at gta v level without too many bugs, i will buy. Yeah and I’m aware, I’m just renting it for the privilege of playing it this year.
If I find another fun game, I might also wait.
If I want to play it in the future and lose access - I’ll set sail on the high seas.

Say what you will about Rockstar and their shitty, worker-exploiting, union-busting practices, but their last two new games, GTA5 and RDR2, were some of my favorite games of all time.
I can’t imagine the game being anything other than phenomenal.
(Doesn’t mean I’m going to buy it for either my Xbox or my PlayStation.)
Pratai@piefed.ca 2 weeks ago
I’ll say that you supported their shitty worker-exploiting, union busting practices. And so does everyone that buys this game.
TheRealKuni@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Yep. I sure did. I’m not proud of it. I’m also not going to pretend that I’ve been ideologically perfect or something.
Pratai@piefed.ca 2 weeks ago
I did too. But never again.

The previews and leaks have looked pretty stunning. I’m not buying in at full price, or on PS5, but I do think it looks incredible.
Kalothar@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Well With the decomp / recomp train that hit this month, it’ll be ported to pc witin days
Guarantee there are teams lining up for that right now.
iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 weeks ago
Not really interested in putting an LLM decomp project on my PC.
IEatDaFeesh@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ve just restarted playing GTA 5 singleplayer again and it’s honestly unmatched. No other game comes close to their level and it was released in 2013. The hype is justifiable.
brave_lemmywinks@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Its not even the best Rockstar game.
IEatDaFeesh@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
For me it is but I’ll allow you to disagree with me.

Doesn’t have to. Already made bank. People are preordering a game which they could just wait a day and download on day one.
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Be funny if it does a cyberpunk and all the pre order ppl have to wait months for patches. Doesn’t seem likely tho, ho hum.
