Not because I care about GTA6, but because the idea of paid time exclusive ads is dystopian and I like the idea of sharing something Rockstar doesn’t want me to.

Not going to bother finding a replacement if this one gets taken down since it’ll be on YouTube in a few hours anyways. Mirror it or don’t.

    I don’t want an extended preview, I just want a PC release. Gotta dodge spoilers for a year or two. That’s not gonna work.

    I’m not buying it because Rockstar and Take Two are shitty greedy assholes.

    I would probably buy it (when it’s on sale at a reasonable price!) if it wasn’t for the poor treatment of their employees and alleged attempts at union busting.

      I wouldn’t even say alleged, it was very blatant. An employment tribunal has already ruled against them and the case goes to full trial next month.

      I wonder what the DRM situation will be like.
      Will they have some hopped up version of Arxan that’s gonna be super hard to crack?
      Or is the PC Release delay good enough that they aren’t particularly worried about piracy?

      Of course given the popularity and antecipation I’m sure there will be all forms of groups trying to take a stab at it, but I still wonder how it’ll go down.

        The game won’t run without an armed agent pointing a gun at your head who will pull the trigger if you ever start enjoying it the wrong way.

    I wonder how many hardworking people they’re going to plunge into uncertainty by ruthlessly laying them off.

    At least the line will go up

    Characters, location, even scenarios seem generic as fuck. Lacking the spicy humor that GTA5 had.

    Seems like the writers have done the classic error of not endearing anyone to the player. I’m not drawn to or interested in finding out anything more about them.

    This looks like a fun time. I look forward to having the hardware to run it, in 10 years. Maybe in 20, when I retire.

    Lucia is a dream for horny modders. I can already see the plethora of nude mods and mods to give her comically huge boobs and ass.

    It looks good but so what, of course it does. Can I go into any house/business? How open world is it truly? Does every shop have unique items and layouts?

    I’ll buy it on steam for like $10 bucks… if there is a decent single player campaign, otherwise I’ll pass

    This just looks like an expansion pack for gta5 imo. I dont really understand why this is being hailed as a massive cultural event.

      Because about 150 million people are going to play it in the next couple of years, which we can’t say about any other video game that we know of.

    It looks incredible. I seriously wonder if we’ll ever see another game ever attempt this scale, this could be rockstar’s magnum opus.

      Point to the spicy yet endearing character… Because I didn’t see any. Saw some stiff cop-like stand-ins though.

      Where was the social commentary? The jokes/parody about society? The fun stuff that made GTA5 a media storm.

        If I’m getting critical I agree - the story seemed somewhat mild/cliche. The dialog was lacking any sort of interesting banter, it was mostly fluctuating between business and panic. I’m not really loving Jason’s VA, but I didn’t dig Niko’s VA either at first.

        However the sandbox that I’m seeing in action (ie, the police chase, hallway gun fight) is frankly incredibly and ridiculously detailed to a point of absurdity. It’s a generational leap forward in open world richness, of that respect.

        I’m hopeful it doesn’t take always take itself so seriously. There was some commentary shown in the first trailer too, though.

          Yeah, and there’s some swamp area stuff in this clip - but I don’t think that’s a very wide net of parody.

          I think you’re right. It will be A+ gameplay and detail. Switching between feelings of tension, panic, and business. And no doubt there’s cops to escape.

          Watch Dogs had some of that. It didn’t sell it though. GTA5 exploded in popularity because the media were baited into talking about it, GTA6 feels like a mature game in a genre defined by GTA5. That fine, enough for most people. Cops and Robbers is a fun enough genre for most people.
