I'm sick of hearing and even reading about GTA 6
I want it released already. Not because I’m going to be one of the many buying it or who pre-ordered it. But I’m sick of everything revolving around it. The Netflix Drama. Whether Rockstar uses Generative AI or not. The endless debates about the price tag. The activism people practice about digital vs physical that involves GTA 6.
Just tired of it all.
Here’s a thread to discuss in great length the thing I’m sick of seeing discussed.
I haven’t heard anything about them using Generative AI, or not as the case may be, so I think you’re just going out of your way to find content to be annoyed by it.
The irony.
any old irony?
Not irony
The iron supplement.
I’ve seen way way way more here on Lemmy bitching about GTA 6 than I have seen actually about it. The complaining about rockstar and GTA 6 is probably 80% of all the rockstar content I see here.
Seriously there has been maybe 3-4 posts about GTA 6 on this community in the last 2 months and every single one of them is full of people whining that they don’t want to hear about it. It’s so overblown.
GTA 6 is one of - if not the - highest budget games ever made. In one of the most popular and successful franchises of all time. It’s the biggest release of the last few years whether they like it or not. Now… You’re telling me we should stop talking about it in gaming communities because Lemmy users want to get back to talking about Linux and whatever 6/10 open source game is doing the rounds?
Sorry for the harshness but these posts and comments are so annoying. If you don’t want to talk about AAA games then why are you in the gaming community?
I wouldn’t be as annoyed by hearing about it if Rockstar were an upstanding company. The union busting though means they should not be given any good PR at minimum, and ideally none.
I don’t care if people want to discuss big games. We shouldn’t accept positive discussion of games that are made by companies who treat their employees poorly. That should be a bare minimum rule people on this platform hold to. I don’t care how excited you are for the game. You don’t get to promote it.
I actually do agree with you. I am tired of people only complaining and brigading on anything GTA. Its so cringey to me, they could simply ignore the content, but instead have to make sure everyone knows they’re on the Lemmy bandwagon. They’re hipsters, plain and simple. They are too cool for the next star wars and biggest game of the decade, and they have to make sure eeeeveryone knows this. I am excited for the game and wish I could engage more with that side.
And posting genuine news about what is going to be one of the biggest gaming events of our lifetimes just gets downvoted here. Come on, people; it’s clearly relevant. You don’t have to upvote it, but then when people downvote anything they personally dislike, you end up with people who only get their gaming news here saying, “I’ve never heard of [one of the biggest games of the year].”
One of the most nonsensical things I see, the whole downvoting things that you don’t like or don’t agree with, even if it’s still being put in a negative light or the person is just curious and asking about it. Happens all over reddit, especially in comments. Obviously if someone’s stating rather than questioning and being bad faith or argumentative then I can understand it but it still happens all the time when they aren’t
what is going to be one of the biggest gaming events of our lifetimes
hahaha how do I get on the payroll for Rockstar marketing like you?
This is one of my biggest complaints about Lenny. And it has given me a new perspective on those around me in nerd spaces. 😔
Also sick of hearing about it. Not because I want to play it, but because I don’t care about it, at all.
Congratulations, you added to that kind of noise. For no reason, too.
I’m not buying GTA6, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground. They’re union busting assholes, and all the money they’ll harvest from GTA6 will simply tell them they can continue being union busting assholes.
I’m not buying GTA6, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.
I’m not buying GTA6 for more than 15€, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.
Interestingly this post of yours is the first I’ve heard of GTA6 in weeks.
Same. This post give guerrilla marketing vibes.
Too bad Epstein isn’t here to control the narrative with Bannon and make a bunch of ostracized, angry gamers get angry at games journalists and go vote for Trump again ~~
Still wild to me that that was actually a thing. I only recently learned Steve Bannon was the CEO of a WoW gold farming company.
(This video was a decent watch imo www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpHHSFF_CBY )
Somehow I seem to have avoided a lot of talk on GTA 6. No doubt there are countless discussions online and youtube analysis videos etc, but unless you’re actively searching for these I’ve found it pretty easy to avoid?
Am I just good at ignoring stuff? Where are people visiting that they’re getting overwhelmed with GTA content?
Thanks for contributing to the exact thing you hate lol
I feel just like I’m back on Reddit.
It’s reddit with blackjack and tankies
I’m sick of it too but if you think the release will quieten the internet down I’ve got some bad news for you. Same thing happened with GTAV.
I’m so tired of this thing that I’m gonna talk about it more.
I’m just waiting so I can watch GrayStillPlays do wall rides while riding on an alligator with the chaos mod running.
Well it’s not a PC release so there won’t be mods for a while.
Live and let die I guess. This is an interesting case of what people’s bubbles look like. I saw the thing on Netflix, don’t think much of it, but I’m not in spaces where people think about this enough to put it in my face. Sorry that’s not the case for you, I’m sure it’s annoying, but I haven’t seen it much, or I scroll past it I guess.
Fuck that where is GTA7? Can I play it when I’m dead?
Easy enough not to read something if it bothers you. Personally not all that excited by GTA6 yet until it releases on PC anyway.
I heard GTA6 broke its containment and tried to burn down a rival studio, but there was no-one there anyway due to mass layoffs.
Use one of the Lemmy apps that filter keywords or even an RSS reader. You can solve your own problem here…
Yeah, unless it’s a FitGirl release, I don’t really give a shit.
Most of the people bitching about it will still be buying it day 1 guaranteed. It’s all bs people just like to complain and everything surrounding gta6 is just made up or petty.
It’s going to be an amazing game. Wether people finish it or not is another question. I finally decided to complete red dead redemption 2. There was one achievement that popped up related to story that only 18% of players had gotten. So most people must have never finished the campaign
To this day red dead redemption is still one of the best looking games out there. GTA 6 is going to be better
[…] one achievement that popped up related to story that only 18% of players had gotten.
I see this a LOT for some reason. Like, there are lots of games I play where the achievements make me think a majority of people that bought and played the game only did so for 30 minutes at most. I’ve seen achievements like “completed the tutorial” (completed by 60% of other players) and been like, wtf, 40% of people never even finish the tutorial?? And it seems to trend down from there. I wonder what that means often. Maybe people are playing the games in such a way that the achievements don’t register? Or there really are a ton of people buying games, playing them for 5 minutes, and then never touching them again??
I’ve got friends who are buying games on sale, because maybe they will play it someday, and then they have 150 games they will playvsomeday (the list is growing bigger).
Those are friends with thousands of hours on CS or Hoi
Sly Cooper (the first one, I believe) has a trophy pop-in as soon as you get control of thr character, after a short cut scene.
That trophy isn’t 100% either.
If its a game that appears on gamepass I probably feature in those stats. I dont have the time/attention span for a big epic game any more, so I’ll play it for a little while and when its obvious the scope is outside of my capabilities I just drop it. RDR2 I dropped as soon as I got past the prologue and into the camp. It showed me the size of the map, and then all the little fetch quests you’d need to reshoe your horse, and you need to keep your camp stocked with food, and I just said nope.
I’ll also drop games if they don’t feel “unique” enough. This is pretty subjective and open to hypocrisy on my part. I gave up on Hogwarts Legacy after the first fight. I was excited for Bully or Skool Daze in a magical world, but it was just assassin’s creed with magic wands.
I have a bad habit of not finishing games. Like I love balurs gate 3 but I’ve never completed it
Fully agree. It’s the zeitgeist right now, it’s the biggest gaming moment in a long time, and while the hate of crunch and union busting is real, rockstar has a solid track record of near perfect games. Few of them, but near if not actually perfect. Guaranteed most people here complaining will pick it up after a while and justify it to themselves.
If it exists. I don’t know why rockstar wouldn’t release the next gen update for rdr2 now. It would give us 3 months to explore that world again. Because once gta6 hits nobody will be playing that and once online hits RDR2 will be forgotten about. Granted I never got into gta5 online but think I will this time
When it’s released you’re going to hear about nothing but bugs and plot points and patches.
If we go about the history of Rockstar games, I don’t think we expect many bugs and such issues. If anything, people will complain about performance and graphics. And car handling. And woke. And woman.
I need to adjust my filter more
Thanks
Welcome to the current state of all video games. It’s more than a theme these days to rally people to hate on everything game related, it is it’s own group of people who have found a market to complain or make up controversies to get views and subscribers. It’s not just GTA its most games that end up having some crazy thing to complain about to stir the pot. I’ve been sick of this trend for years now. Anyone who actually loves games should always be celebrating a new release and not caring about stuff like is this game woke… thankfully I avoid most social media and don’t watch those videos on youtube, but sometimes i hit it by mistake or see some article online hearing about what preasure the game is facing.
nah… it’s only aaa trash that this happens with. rarely does it happen to actually good games made by small teams. it’s marketing bullshit from criminals, nothing more.
I’m boycotting it until there’s a British one.
There are 2 actually, released for the original GTA, London 1961 and London 1969.
Me too. Thank’s for making my day’s first gta6 post.
Well since we’re here, may as well BS a little.
GTA 5 was the first rated M game I bought myself with my own ID when I was 17. Now, I didn’t get married and have kids like everyone else my age back then, but I did finish high school, start and finish college, am well into my career, and am about to become engaged.
I’m pretty excited for it, but I’m almost equally as excited for Gears E Day. Been waiting to see E Day played out in-game for almost 20 years now. Also Ocarina. It’s going to be a busy end of the year and I’m here for it after a sort of dry year in general for my gaming up to this point.
Eh, I want God Hand on Steam.
We all can wish for shit, doesn’t meant it’ll happen. Gotta roll with it.
Plus, TBH, it was worse here before Silksong.

I’m not interested in it, because it was written for a console, Sony, I think, and will be ported to PC by AI (you know it’s true) which means we’ll get the usual port drama, only worse.
Anyway, it’s like GTA5, the only difference is one digit, big deal. It’s like those footy games…

I think they already have a PC version ready. It’s probably the “real” version they developed first. But they’re going to release the PC version later in order to get some sweet money from Sony and Microsoft.
