No gta game is ever "disappointing"

5 was, story was meh

 

[Mobilemofo]

I've said it in other threads over the years, and I'll say it again here.

Keep your bar low..(mines at my knee caps(. Anything above the low expectations is a winner.

 

[Enzo88]

Disappoint in what respect?
Sales wise It's pretty much impossible.
Game wise...most gta are overrated already and i don't think it matters to the average gta player. They are just there to fuck shit up, especially online.


So yeah, It's not even an issue.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

An enormous hype has been built around GTA VI. People expect it to be the biggest and best game of all time, one of the greatest entertainment products ever created. In a way, the entire industry might even depend on it.

But what happens if GTA VI doesn't live up to the expectations we've placed on it? How will the industry react to that?

Dude If you bought the game they don't give a shit about you. They already got your money.

I've came to terms that Starfield wasn't the be all end all of my hopes and dreams.
I can do the same with a GTA.

I haven't

I enjoyed it for what it was and it's still among my top 10 most played games, but it had so much potential and it genuinely makes me sad thinking about it.

Still have some hope for the next DLC to turn some of it around. On a concept level it's still perfect. It just need enough handcrafted areas to make exploration worth your time. Maybe they can use AI idk, can't be impossible. And the space travels should be a bigger deal, force the player to chat with the crew and maybe repair the ship and deal with pirates boarding the ship when traveling to a new planet, after the first trip they can go back to fast travel.

Then we wait until 2039 for the next installment.

 

[th4tguy]

100% there will be people who aren't happy

 

[Hudo]

Then I'll play something else. I mean RDR2 was disappointing for me as well (and I dropped it after 10 hours or so of trying to like it) and I just played something else. R* are not the only developers who can make a good game. And GTA 5 wasn't exactly a barn burner either (imho). It's the first GTA game that I never had the desire to return to, but at least it was good enough to make me want to finish it. And GTA Online is fucking trash.

[DavidGzz]

It's guaranteed. Too much hype so many will diss it. Huge games always have detractors no matter how good. But also, I think it will be feel too much like a life simulator and not enough like a game ass game so much of it will be warranted. Give me the right balance, please.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'm sure there will be plenty on here that don't like it and that's fine.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

You move on because youre probably an adult , and youve matured to a point where a video game doesn't dictate any aspect your life

 

[archangelmorph]

The Sun will go Nova, Seas will boil, fire will consume every living creature with a terrifying voraciusness, the whole world will cry out in incomprehensible terror, then there will be darkness.
A deafening silence..
A black void..
Nothing.

Then comes the wailing and gnashing of teeth ja?

 

[archangelmorph]

It started development during peak woke madness so im just worried what that could have done to it

It's going to poke mad fun at both woke and anti-woke culture you better believe.

Honestly though, I expect years of butthurt whinging a la No Man's Sky. But if Rockstar a smart (which they most certainly are given how much money they're making on GTAV Online - which they will not want to jeopardise), they will work tirelessly to fix it with incremental improvements, a la No Man's Sky (or CP2077).

 

[rkofan87]

nothing's going to beat the GTA 3 trilogy
after that gta went down hill

 

[rkofan87]

5 was, story was meh

imo game play wise so did 4

 

[rkofan87]

Then I'll play something else. I mean RDR2 was disappointing for me as well (and I dropped it after 10 hours or so of trying to like it) and I just played something else. R* are not the only developers who can make a good game. And GTA 5 wasn't exactly a barn burner either (imho). It's the first GTA game that I never had the desire to return to, but at least it was good enough to make me want to finish it. And GTA Online is fucking trash.

the controls are so bad I dropped after 5 minutes.

 

[Spyxos]

As much as I'm looking forward to the game, there's a pretty good chance it won't be all that great. Many people disliked GTA 4. But the game is so big that it will still sell, even if it might fall short of expectations.

 

[Aressa]

What if? No "if" for sure. It'll be disappointing to most because of the insane hype build up.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Oh we'll get plenty of hate from the PC and Nintendo only people. They'll probably dig up all the videos from their favorite "influencers" bashing it and post threads about it here.

The game will be amazing though as well as being a technical marvel that no other studio will be able to match. RDR2, a last gen game, still puts current gen games to shame.

 

[Durin]

Then people can move on to being excited about another game.

I'd say maybe a healthier way to have hype is wait for an upcoming game to actually show gameplay, because that's the silliest aspect of GTA6 so far. They've shown less than The Division 1 did to excite people about next-gen graphics, and that game nerfed them at launch.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

It wouldn't be the first time a game has disappointed people, but it will still sell a metric fuck load so will be successful regardless.

 

[darrylgorn]

The good news is that we know that it will be, so you can decide what to do about it right now.
