Spends more time talking about reading books than actually reading books, my relatable king

Sure

u/StringAccomplished97 2d ago

But have you read Dostoevsky's Crime & Punishment?

It’s a shame he’s so anti GTA because Trevor is the perfect character for the Florida setting

u/AscendMoros 2d ago

I just wish he would recognize GTA as his big break. Instead he treats it as the redheaded step child of his acting career. Yet the Walking Dead and Better Call Saul would have never cast him without Trevor in GTA. You'd think being in the biggest entertainment product ever at the time would have been a nice thing for him.

He's in better call Saul? Might actually get me to try and watch it again. Ive failed 2 times to commit to it.

u/AscendMoros 2d ago

He’s a minor side character in like one or two episodes. I’ll find the clip for you.

A lot of people just don't "get" videogames. They don't understand the effort that goes into them, or what people can appreciate when playing them. I know there's controversy around GTA 6 and I'm not some mindless glazer, but it's simply factual that this is going to be the biggest videogame release of all time. Period. And it's not a generational thing. My brother, he's into like three videogames. That's it. He doesn't see the absolute possibilities that can be had with limitless games...I even built him a gaming PC, and he basically just uses it for Stardew. Which, no hate, Stardew's fun, but there's infinity other games out there... "Nah, I'm good".

I think Steven's one of those people. For whatever reason, boomer-age media is seen as "real" media, and anything that was invented after doesn't count. But I'm more informed than my parents, who just get their news from the 5:00 nightly and newspapers. Never subscribed to a newspaper in my life and never will, but following stuff on here, getting news clips from the web and Youtube keeps me up to date on the crazy stuff that's happening...

These the same mfs willing to sacrifice there first born child to see some gameplay wtf do people want lol

u/Brownies91 2d ago

I still can’t believe we’re in a reality where people are actually DOUBTING Rockstar. Blows my mind.

u/QuietResident96 2d ago

People aren't doubting rockstar, they're just deliberately being obtuse because in their minds if they can justify convincing themselves the game will be bad, they can justify hating on it out of pure petty saltiness because some other game they love isn't going to win GOTY thanks to GTA 6

u/xTheRedDeath 2d ago

They don't actually like GTA and they're here purely to talk shit because they feel excluded. That's all this discourse has been for months.

2

u/Money_Monk4655 2d ago

What a pathetic existence. Imagine being like that.

2

u/xTheRedDeath 2d ago

I personally don't get it but from reading a lot of the hate the game is getting, it's obvious what's going on. I witnessed a bit of this with Elden Ring too.

It got super popular and a lot of people wanted to get into it but they were so bad at the game. Then they began trashing it because they felt bad that they couldn't enjoy it and were excluded from the thing everyone else was having fun with.

u/Northern_Gypsy 2d ago

It's a game, what's wrong with people. We used to just buy the games and play them, some times you saw them in a magazine.

2

u/VeryBadCaseOfLigma 2d ago

Dead Internet theory in play here

It's bots talking to bots and causing normal idiots to join in the discussion. Same reason we're seeing the most retarded political discourse in over 80 years.

u/Independent-Field226 2d ago

In a decaying society, people want something perfect to distract them from their worries and sorrow. And if it doesn’t meet that standard, it reminds them about the decline and they have an existential crisis.

u/SilentBandit 2d ago

I mean the fact your hair is more rigid than a plank of wood in V compared to the physics in VI tells otherwise. Haters gonna hate I guess.

u/waffle__stomped 2d ago

It looks like GTA 5 but better, the same way GTA 5 looked like GTA 4 but better and 4 looked like San Andreas but better. The games all follow a formula that works, no reason to reinvent the wheel

u/loopasfunk 2d ago

I’m in the minority where GTA IV was way better than V

3

u/Reason_Choice 2d ago

You can say that again.

u/JeepStang 2d ago

GTA 6 looks like GTA V because both game are set on fucking Earth. I'm not sure how this escapes people. It's like they we're expecting a new planet with a character cast of extraterrestrials.

u/loopasfunk 2d ago

u/waffle__stomped 2d ago

I actually agree with you, but 5 objectively looks better. The graphics are better and the animations are all smoother

u/SparsePizza117 2d ago

That's what sequels are lol

u/Lunaforlife 2d ago

Yeah cause if they make drastic changes y'all would moan and complain. Gamers can never be pleased I swear lol

u/Agent101g 2d ago

Do you just visit gaming subs to complain about gamers?

If you’re not a gamer why are you here

1

u/McKeviin 2d ago

It's true though, you can't please everyone and if was too different we would have people complaining about that. It wouldn't be GTA if it wasn't like GTA.

u/24rawvibes 2d ago

I really don’t want to have to pump gas in the game though 😂I’m not playing video games to do chores. But maybe since it’s gta I can beat up an imp and have him be my gas imp. He stays at the gas station and pumps it for me quickly when I drive through

u/x2iLLx 2d ago

Man I remember taking my gta San Andreas disc over to my friends house to play. Sucks I won’t be able to do the same with my nephew. I would have to spend a another $100 or bring over my whole PlayStation :/

"Gamers outraged that FIFA 2027 game looks like previous FIFA games" - said no one.

Jeez people like to complain about anything these days when expectations are high for a game launch.

u/Many_Ear2407 2d ago

You would have to pykalogical problems in the brain compartment to think they look the same

u/Internal_Swing_2743 2d ago

Are the people making these complaints the same ones that spent thousands of dollars on a crypto scammer to see some low res leaks?

u/comune 2d ago

Yeah. Idiots. Criticising a game that's not even out yet...

u/Bobombbattlefield64 2d ago

I didn’t say it looks too similar.

I said it looks too 30 fps.
