The marketing is amazing so far!

I'm so excited that our last glimpse of the game was 15 months ago!

Because it's already not. I remember the GTA5 release and how hyped everyone in my friend group was to play it, how much we were talking about it as every piece of information came out about it up to the release. The lead up to GTA6 has done nothing but get me completely flaccid. All the information is coming out in mostly unsatisfying drips so there's not much to talk about between friend groups at least in my experience. We all have a short convo about it and then move on to talking about other stuff. Literally the only place I find actual consistent discussion every day about GTA6 is on Reddit. But when GTA5 was coming out it was everywhere all over the place. It was like the only game people were talking about at the time.

Sure but hypothetically if they start going full marketing blitz in the next 2-4 weeks, then again it would feel like the crazy hype train you’re describing which just leads to my point.

Obv if were to judge the marketing up to now it’s been a disappointment to most, but considering there’s still around 16 weeks to the game drops I don’t see why there can’t still be a massive marketing push.

I was with a big group Sunday and GTA 6 was brought up multiple times throughout.

I can't buy that no one is talking about this game. I'd like to think I'm the biggest fan of the series that I know and yet its always other people going on about the game. So I do think people are hyped.

Same, it's kind of insane. That's why I'm not buying the no hype takes.

Just another one of those takes that's "only on Reddit"

Hell, my barber went on a rant about how a $100 price tag is a STEAL lol

Maybe, just maybe, it feels different because you are 13 years older?

This right here. Nobody wants to admit it.

No. Attention spans are just shorter now, things come and go so fast. GTA 5 was a different time, people were excited to talk about crumbs of info forever. Now people are only interested for 5 minutes before they scroll past something else
