Rockstar Games' GTA 6 is fast becoming, if it isn't already, the most highly-anticipated video game of all time and fans are continuing to post and speculate despite there being little in the way of official updates since the first trailer for it dropped in December 2023.Take-Two, Rockstar's parent ...
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.
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.
It was the overall downgrade from 4 that stood out to me. In 5, guns sounded worse, the driving became way too arcadey, the story was less tight and the three protagonists were more disjointed and Franklin was grossly underdeveloped, the city lacked diners etc to go eat at etc and felt less alive, no vigilante missions, NPCs were squishier residual in hand to hand, the car damage models are boring and less detailed than 4… I could go on.
5 was bizarrely a huge step back from everything they’d built towards for 4 that it’s no surprise 4 has remained hugely popular and maintained an incredibly active modding scene to keep the game looking youthful.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
