Meanwhile Skyrim came out the week my daughter was born, and she’s in high school now. We still don’t have a new elder scrolls

No… no that’s impossible… fuck. 14 years, huh? I remember it was 11/11/11 and there were ads for it on city buses, and I thought “wow i guess video games are mainstream now”

Coming up on 14 years for Skyrim.
They’ve both been propped up by pay-to-win bullshit online games that have diluted the formula. I remember when GTA V was new (ish) and while the controls took some getting used to, and some of the minigames were bullshit (Rockstar games have wonky controls), the game was fun as hell. Zero interest in the online stuff. It never appealed to me. I did try Elder Scrolls Online, and also Fallout 76. This online shit makes them money, it’s a surprise they’re even bothering with a GTA VI. The next GTA Online is really what they should be focused on (though I’ll always root for the single player games). After the last couple Fallouts and Starfield, I don’t even have any hope for Elder Scrolls VI. GTA VI at least looks like it might actually be good. But screw paying $100 for it.

I think GTA 6 will be an outstanding game, but I also think it will be Rockstar’s greediest release to date. I will make sure to consider everything before I buy it.

As greedy as GTA V was with its multiplayer, Rockstar has a history of releasing a good single player base game before they start with that, and looking as GTA VI leaked map, I don’t see that changing now. It’ll definitely be nothing more than a single player experience for me though.
Plus, were might have to wait one or two years to play it on PC, especially on Linux, so there’s a lot of time for considerations…

The multi-player maybe. But they’ve consistently delivered excellent single-player experiences with their flagship titles. GTA 3, VC, SA, IV, and V were all amazing. RDR1 was spectacular, and RDR2 may be the most impressive game I’ve ever played.
At this point, I trust Tockstar to deliver a good single-player game. I don’t really expect much in the way of the quality DLC we got with GTAIV and RDR, but I think the base game will easily be enough for me to justify a purchase.
I’m still gonna wait and see, of course. They’re not getting a pre-order out of me.

I’d agree with everything that you about the previous games. However, I think they made 10 billion dollars off of GTA online and wouldn’t be surprised if they focus more on that and leave the single player to the wayside.

Why is this type of comment so popular on Lemmy? We are supposed to hate absolutely anything here for some reason.
FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
I don’t hate everything. I hate the fact that GTA V has been milked for 12 years. I like other stuff. I like Apex Legends. Smash brothers.

Several reasons, really.

A group of methods for obtaining money falsely through the use of swindles, frauds, dishonest gambling.

6 is never going to live up to the hype and will be riddled with micro transactions and GaaS shoved up its ass.
Stop paying attention to what the big corporations are pumping out. Go play something made my people that give a shit about the game and not the “potential revenue” it might create.
Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 hours ago
III, VC, SA, IV and even V are some of the best games of all time. No need for new ones
BroBot9000@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Really aren’t. GTA has had the most dated mission structure since part 3.
Their Gangs and crimes stories are also weak.
SA was the only one that had something to say.

Honestly they could have released single player DLC for V and made a load of money without having to even develop VI

I’ve literally purchased a Xbox series X for this game, moved to and moved back from south Florida and it’s still not out…I can imagine this is live up to expectations but I also can’t imagine it won’t live up to expectations…

It’s a fantastic documentary; as an LA native, I recommend playing through the story to better understand our diverse culture of shallow rich folks, inner city gents, and meth-addled drug countrymen.
In fact, pirate it to truly honor my culture. Lol

Keep in mind that GTA V released in the PS3 - which is now considered a retro console.
edgemaster72@lemmy.world 29 minutes ago
I refuse to entertain the idea of PS3 as retro until at least next year, when it turns 20. Now you might say “okay then, it also came out on Xbox 360, which turns 20 in about 2 months” to which I say… get off my lawn!

For some reason this made me feel much older than knowing GAT V launched 11 years ago. I grew up with an NES.
maxwells_daemon@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Though it was a completely different game than what we’ve come to know as GTA V after the PC release, in terms of graphics and content. And even then I remember grabbing snacks to watch the loading screen…
Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 5 hours ago
GTA VI I feel is going to stretch about 4 generations of gaming before ever seeing VII.
GTA V has started in the PS3/360 era, went through the PS4/One era, is sitting in the PS5/X era and we're now about 2-3 years away from the next gen of gaming to happen.
Demdaru@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
There’s possibility that GTA VII will come faster. Rockstar does waves on new engine versions. GTA I + II, engine switch, GTA III, VC, SA, engine switch, GTA IV, GTA V, possibly engine switch?, GTA VI, GTA VII? Or some offspin?
Problem is, they smelled online money so dunno.
leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I liked GTA V, but after finishing it I drove around for a few hours and the never touched it again. I’m not really sure why.
I still go back to Vice City and San Andreas, somehow these worlds are just more fun. But like I said, I’m not sure why…
The graphics in 5 are great, the sound is great, but something is missing…

Seems about right. Feels like I haven’t played GTA for a decade.
Every now and then internet reminds me it’s a thing, though.

I’ve lived in the same GTA house longer than I’ve lived in any real home.
