dinckelman, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

They’ve done it with every generation of GTA recently. It will probably not come out at launch, people will buy the console version, and then suddenly it comes out on pc a year later. We’ve seen the tactic before

Asafum,

Capcom cuntrags get me with monster hunter every time… They do the same bullshit and I hate it.

dinckelman,

I got bullied into buying World on release, and then another time on PC :|

DrM,

GTA V was 2 years later and it even came out after the next-gen release. But I waited patiently, I skipped any spoilers for 2 years and it was well worth it. Also, GTA has such a long lifespan that the wait really doesn’t matter

RDR2 with almost 2 years.
I can wait. Still have plenty of backlog.
Or I could play GTA5 and try to reach 1.5k playtime of loading screen :p

I don’t think anyone with more than 5 braincells thought this was coming out on PS4 and Xbone.

The continued use of Next Gen for what is definitely the current console generation does make me pretty annoyed

So? Who gives a shit lol

Almost every AAA release has pulled the same trick for at least the last 10 years if not longer. Don’t announce the PC release until after the console release, that way some people buy the game twice.

Looks very Florida.

ProbablyNotQualified,

Almost as if Vice City is based on a very large city in Florida.

I’m actually ok with this. It will keep online hacker free for at least a year.

Too many games exist to be played in one lifetime now, who gives a shit, the series stopped being good after GTA 2 anyway

The fuck?

BruceTwarzen,

Gta is still kind of a great game. But i wouldn't touch it with a stick because of the people playing it. I swear dota is a jolly old time compared to playing some gta online. So i could not care less about the game anyway.

SomethingBurger,

What? GTA 1 and 2 are terrible.

criitz,

What? Those games were fun for their time

SplashJackson,

Terribly awesome!!

DepthCharge,

Suckmyrocket

histic,

lol pick the worst of all of them

I’m not buying a console for this game. Pc gaming has gotten a lot bigger, I’d be surprised if they skipped it.

r0bi,

And unlike when GTA5 came out, now the XBox and PlayStation have the same CPU architecture as PC.

Still I wont be surprised since they’ve delayed PC since GTA3, but its still annoying

RickyWars,

Yeah RDR2 was released on PC later even though PS4 and XBO were thr same architecture so I am not hopeful.

histic,

it’s not necessarily the architecture that’s the problem it’s just optimizations as you only have set hardware to optimize for on console as compared to pc

stardust,

In the past first party exclusives were the incentive for me to get a console regardless of Rockstar titles, and they just don’t have the draw they used to with them getting ported to the PC so I’m passing on console this Gen. So can’t even double dip like they want me too because I wouldn’t drop hundreds to play one game.

quams69, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

It looks pretty mid anyway, unless they announce dedi servers and rp support I really don’t care about rockstars played out boomer ass writing

BruceTwarzen,

I just can't get excited for gta anymore. I know some people are very excited and can't wait, but can they keep the train going for two years (or probably 4)

Starkstruck, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

Yeah if I ever were to play this game, it’d probably be a long time after release and the inevitable slew of bug fixes etc

UndercoverGranny, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

I know when the PS5/Xbox Series X/S came out they were referred to as “next generation” while the previous consoles were “current generation” when talking about games that were released on both consoles, for example NBA 2K.

I can see why you’re confused and I agree that enough time has passed that we can start calling the PS5/ Xbox series X/S current generation.

I think that calling them next gen was okay up to the point that they became readily available.

MrNesser, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

I’ve never played any of the GTA games I was considering this one but it’s not at the top of my list especially now

AceQuorthon, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

Oh no

Anyway

I don’t understand the fascination. From what my son once told me, everyone has the same advantage, you’re just paying for looks and individuality. I see that as a waste of money. Paying out for licensed characters is just a way to keep that going.

The only part I found interesting was when it shut down for a few days to have that major upgrade. All that was left was the black hole. That was quite fun watching everyone react.

Fredol,

I think you’re being disingenuous, you perfectly understand this phenomenon but it doesn’t appeal to you. Paying for pixels will always be dumb anyway.

Phegan,

At the end of the day it’s the same as something like FunkoPop, you are paying for a digital or physical piece of nostalgia. Neither are for me, but it is what it is

Like shelling out for a pre order because you get an exclusive in game hat. 😁

XeroxCool,

Do you wear jewelry? Do you have a nice watch that tells time just as well as a casio? Does your car feature upgraded wheels or upcharged paint? Have you paid more for fancy curtains when basic ones do the same job? Have you repainted a room just because you wanted a different color? Art, collectibles, novelties? Video game cosmetics are valuable to anyone who wants to express themselves the same as any other real life cosmetic. It can be especially important to young people who don’t have other avenues.

That being said, fortnite is predatory as fuck and is one of the worst offenders for addictive design, FOMO engineering, and maximizing DLC purchases. It’s what the annual sports games wish they could do. It’s what CoD started to do. It’s fueled by social media and by glimpses of random players in each match with the latest skins.
