cerebralhawks, do games w GTA V was released on this day, 12 years ago

Coming up on 14 years for Skyrim.

They’ve both been propped up by pay-to-win bullshit online games that have diluted the formula. I remember when GTA V was new (ish) and while the controls took some getting used to, and some of the minigames were bullshit (Rockstar games have wonky controls), the game was fun as hell. Zero interest in the online stuff. It never appealed to me. I did try Elder Scrolls Online, and also Fallout 76. This online shit makes them money, it’s a surprise they’re even bothering with a GTA VI. The next GTA Online is really what they should be focused on (though I’ll always root for the single player games). After the last couple Fallouts and Starfield, I don’t even have any hope for Elder Scrolls VI. GTA VI at least looks like it might actually be good. But screw paying $100 for it.

I’m out of the loop with GTA VI, but the last I knew of it the only thing they’d released was a cinematic, non-gameplay trailer. Have they released gameplay now?

cerebralhawks,

I don’t know if they released any gameplay, but IIRC some leaked (from an early build).

I liked GTA V, but after finishing it I drove around for a few hours and the never touched it again. I’m not really sure why.

I still go back to Vice City and San Andreas, somehow these worlds are just more fun. But like I said, I’m not sure why…

The graphics in 5 are great, the sound is great, but something is missing…

psx_crab,

Because once you finished the story there’s really not much sidemission for you to play, and the world suddenly feel very empty without the excellent characters. I quit the same way.

I’m glad it’s not just me. It’s a lonely experience.

6 is never going to live up to the hype and will be riddled with micro transactions and GaaS shoved up its ass.

Stop paying attention to what the big corporations are pumping out. Go play something made my people that give a shit about the game and not the “potential revenue” it might create.

III, VC, SA, IV and even V are some of the best (edit: best-selling) games of all time. No need for new ones

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Really aren’t. GTA has had the most dated mission structure since part 3.

Their Gangs and crimes stories are also weak.

SA was the only one that had something to say.

Psythik,

Glad you’re getting upvoted for this. Every time I mention how outdated RDR2 felt at launch, I get downvoted. But it’s true. For a game about an outlaw, you sure have to follow a lot of rules to play the game as the developers intended.

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah for a “dynamic open world” it sure consists of a bunch of linear missions and rigged structure.

Thats a classic video and definitely one of the first I’ve seen outside of Zero Punctuation that has been honest about the GTA games.

drcobaltjedi,

Man, I tried multiple times to get into RDR2. I really want to like it, and I love RDR. But my god that game feels like a job with all the small things you need to remember to do.

Man, even the gun system annoyed me. I’m fine with them having like 4 slots or whatever it was for weapons, but I remember so many times riding to a mission on my horse, selecting the guns I wanted to use and after like 50 feet Arthur would decide “welp, I’m not using these guns, better shove em back in my horse” leadong me to not having a gun ready at the start of a mission. I think that was the straw the broke the camels back for me, just hold the guns I selected Arthur.

Psythik,

Couldn’t agree more, the weapon system is incredibly frustrating too. I solved that problem simply by using a trainer to mod all the weapons to have the same stats. That way I can just use whatever gun Arthur grabs and not worry about it.

Goodlucksil,

I am speaking by number of copies sold. Actually valuing the games, what do you think is the most solid GTA?

rayquetzalcoatl,
@rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world avatar

If you’re just talking about number of copies sold, using the term “best” is confusing

Goodlucksil,

You’re right. I edited my original comment

teamevil,

I’ve literally purchased a Xbox series X for this game, moved to and moved back from south Florida and it’s still not out…I can imagine this is live up to expectations but I also can’t imagine it won’t live up to expectations…

ramble81,

Honestly they could have released single player DLC for V and made a load of money without having to even develop VI

Blackmist,

The multiplayer will be like that.

But I’m not here for that, and Rockstar and Naughty Dog are in the “haven’t let me down yet” club.

Nikls94, do games w GTA V was released on this day, 12 years ago

Keep in mind that GTA V released in the PS3 - which is now considered a retro console.

maxwells_daemon,

Though it was a completely different game than what we’ve come to know as GTA V after the PC release, in terms of graphics and content. And even then I remember grabbing snacks to watch the loading screen…

edgemaster72, (edited )
@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

I refuse to entertain the idea of PS3 being retro until at least next year, when it turns 20. Now you might say “okay then, GTA V also came out on Xbox 360, which turns 20 in about 2 months” to which I say… get off my lawn!

ZC3rr0r, (edited )

For some reason this made me feel much older than knowing GTA V launched 11 years ago. I grew up with an NES.

Last GTA I played was vice city, I think that was on the PS1.

Winning is overrated, pulling off dorky moves with the friends is all the fun!

Hanging out with friends really brings a game together. even bad ones can become good when friends are involved

No shame in losing. The people in Halo MCC are some of the sweatiest try hards online lol, they probably been online for years.

Love Construct, the map is just so classic. I actually may have to take that bubble shield strat from you, somehow never thought of it.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

They definitely play a lot of hours lol. On the rare instance it gets to me though i tell myself that it’s just practice to get better.

If you do the Bubble Shield thing, careful not to pull a me and jump off the edge while riding the high lol.

ordnance_qf_17_pounder, do games w GTA V was released on this day, 12 years ago

I think GTA 6 will be an outstanding game, but I also think it will be Rockstar’s greediest release to date. I will make sure to consider everything before I buy it.

maxwells_daemon,

As greedy as GTA V was with its multiplayer, Rockstar has a history of releasing a good single player base game before they start with that, and looking as GTA VI leaked map, I don’t see that changing now. It’ll definitely be nothing more than a single player experience for me though.

Plus, were might have to wait one or two years to play it on PC, especially on Linux, so there’s a lot of time for considerations…

timbuck2themoon,

I guess I don’t understand. I got V and paid literally nothing past that.

The experience was great. No one has to buy shark cards or whatever the hell they are.

ordnance_qf_17_pounder,

The problem with V for me was that they released content for GTA Online for years and completely ignored singleplayer. So many heists, weapons, vehicles, outfits, and game mechanics that would have been awesome to try solo, but were only available with a damn internet connection and in a world with other players. Thankfully mods fixed some of that. But it’s not the same because you mostly have to spawn things in with a cheat menu.

I am yet to understand what “nobody” adds to a meme. Still don’t get it.

Nobody: cRazi_man: I am yet to understand what “nobody” adds to a meme. Still don’t get it.

renzhexiangjiao,

it's boilerplate

jaybone,

When used properly it makes sense. But there are only rare occasions when that is appropriate. So instead everyone just uses it all the time and so no one really understands when it should be used. Dumb.

SkaveRat,

The original meme got mangled beyond recognition and into making no sense

The original was used as quote attribution

Like:

“I am a huge fan of EA”

– nobody

Shannaresh,

To continue this logic, if “nobody” says nothing it could be construed as the start of the conversation, implying the subject came to the conclusion without prompting or context

Shannaresh,

The way I understand it, it’s a play on “Nobody asked” using Colon denoted dialogue

Nobody: [insert question]

[subject of meme]: [answer to question]

And has become increasingly esoteric through extended use

carotte,

we should estimate ourselves lucky, at least, that the

no one:
absolutely no one:
not a single soul:

era is over

Cosmonaut_Collin,

And now your reference to it will resurrect the meme like a Phoenix from the ashes.

BCsven,

Its prefacing the answer to an unsolicited question.

BotsRuinedEverything, do games w GTA V was released on this day, 12 years ago

I’ve lived in the same GTA house longer than I’ve lived in any real home.

WanderWisley,

The cars I own in GTA V I’ve had longer than the current car that’s sitting in my driveway.

Gotta love Steven Ogg.

It’s a fantastic documentary; as an LA native, I recommend playing through the story to better understand our diverse culture of shallow rich folks, inner city gents, and meth-addled drug countrymen.

In fact, pirate it to truly honor my culture. Lol

GTA VI I feel is going to stretch about 4 generations of gaming before ever seeing VII.

GTA V has started in the PS3/360 era, went through the PS4/One era, is sitting in the PS5/X era and we're now about 2-3 years away from the next gen of gaming to happen.

Also it is hard for me to believe we got both GTA IV and GTA V in the same generation.

Demdaru,

There’s possibility that GTA VII will come faster. Rockstar does waves on new engine versions. GTA I + II, engine switch, GTA III, VC, SA, engine switch, GTA IV, GTA V, possibly engine switch?, GTA VI, GTA VII? Or some offspin?

Problem is, they smelled online money so dunno.

brsrklf, do games w GTA V was released on this day, 12 years ago

In two months Skyrim will be 14.

And don’t get me started on F-Zero.

saltesc, do games w GTA V was released on this day, 12 years ago

Seems about right. Feels like I haven’t played GTA for a decade.

Every now and then internet reminds me it’s a thing, though.
