I want it released already. Not because I’m going to be one of the many buying it or who pre-ordered it. But I’m sick of everything revolving around it. The Netflix Drama. Whether Rockstar uses Generative AI or not. The endless debates about the price tag. The activism people practice about digital vs physical that involves GTA 6.
Just tired of it all.

Bold of you to assume that the hype isn’t going to continue after launch.
Thanks for contributing to the exact thing you hate lol
I’m not buying GTA6, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground. They’re union busting assholes, and all the money they’ll harvest from GTA6 will simply tell them they can continue being union busting assholes.
Live and let die I guess. This is an interesting case of what people’s bubbles look like. I saw the thing on Netflix, don’t think much of it, but I’m not in spaces where people think about this enough to put it in my face. Sorry that’s not the case for you, I’m sure it’s annoying, but I haven’t seen it much, or I scroll past it I guess.
Fuck that where is GTA7? Can I play it when I’m dead?
I swear to fsm I have no idea what this modern incarnation of the game is about.
My only exposure is playing one time about 20 years ago or something?
It had just come out, my buddy was breathless about how you could have sex with a hooker and then beat her and take your money back.
He loaned me his copy, I played it for 30 minutes, I was like why would anyone want to play this. And I put it down.
Prior to that I had played the top down sprite based one which I thought was okay.
I heard GTA6 broke its containment and tried to burn down a rival studio, but there was no-one there anyway due to mass layoffs.
Also sick of hearing about it. Not because I want to play it, but because I don’t care about it, at all.
Congratulations, you added to that kind of noise. For no reason, too.
The irony.
Not irony
Iron supplement.
Bruh, tell me about it. I haven’t even played GTA 4 yet because I don’t know if my computer can run it or not and if it can’t, it’s probably going to be another 20 years before I have a computer that can run it properly, and who knows if the game is even going to still be available by then.
Edit: Whatever man. You want to belittle someone just because they don’t have the luxury getting a job like everyone else. Not everyone is as fortunate as you, to just be able to whatever you want when ever you want. There are real problems in the world and the world doesn’t revolve around you, stop acting immature.
The controversy won’t stop with release. Do you remember the uproar over Trevor offing Johnny Klebitz back in the day? I’m still holding a grudge after a decade plus.
I’ve seen way way way more here on Lemmy bitching about GTA 6 than I have seen actually about it. The complaining about rockstar and GTA 6 is probably 80% of all the rockstar content I see here.
Seriously there has been maybe 3-4 posts about GTA 6 on this community in the last 2 months and every single one of them is full of people whining that they don’t want to hear about it. It’s so overblown.
GTA 6 is one of - if not the - highest budget games ever made. In one of the most popular and successful franchises of all time. It’s the biggest release of the last few years whether they like it or not. Now… You’re telling me we should stop talking about it in gaming communities because Lemmy users want to get back to talking about Linux and whatever 6/10 open source game is doing the rounds?
Sorry for the harshness but these posts and comments are so annoying. If you don’t want to talk about AAA games then why are you in the gaming community?
P.S. I’ve seen posts talking about GTA or any major company (PlayStation, Nintendo, Bethesda, etc) just get huge amounts of downvotes on this platform because “we’re tired of hearing about it”. Why do people do this??? Just move on to the next post.
I actually do agree with you. I am tired of people only complaining and brigading on anything GTA. Its so cringey to me, they could simply ignore the content, but instead have to make sure everyone knows they’re on the Lemmy bandwagon. They’re hipsters, plain and simple. They are too cool for the next star wars and biggest game of the decade, and they have to make sure eeeeveryone knows this. I am excited for the game and wish I could engage more with that side.
And posting genuine news about what is going to be one of the biggest gaming events of our lifetimes just gets downvoted here. Come on, people; it’s clearly relevant. You don’t have to upvote it, but then when people downvote anything they personally dislike, you end up with people who only get their gaming news here saying, “I’ve never heard of [one of the biggest games of the year].”
what is going to be one of the biggest gaming events of our lifetimes
hahaha how do I get on the payroll for Rockstar marketing like you?
I’m not. It’s a statement of fact, and I don’t see the point in pretending it isn’t.
One of the most nonsensical things I see, the whole downvoting things that you don’t like or don’t agree with, even if it’s still being put in a negative light or the person is just curious and asking about it. Happens all over reddit, especially in comments. Obviously if someone’s stating rather than questioning and being bad faith or argumentative then I can understand it but it still happens all the time when they aren’t
It’s that it’s not downvoting at this point. It’s brigading. That’s what I’m really annoyed at. It’s not that people disagree, it’s that everyone dogpiles on because GTA bad must hit downvote to send it to -1000. That ruins it for those who do want to enjoy it and makes it harder to see, and then we can’t have an honest conversation about it until someone posts “hey it’s kind of annoying that it’s being brigaded”
Seeing as Lemmy does nothing different than Reddit on a fundamental level, it’s no surprise we see the same problems. We’re just partially shielded from some of them by way of being a smaller community.
To most people it’s basically just the “fuck you button”; my theory is it gives them a small burst of vindictive joy or something. I made an unpopular opinion post about this a while ago and the reception was basically peak toxicity. Even the mods piled on 😂
This is one of my biggest complaints about Lenny. And it has given me a new perspective on those around me in nerd spaces. 😔
I really feel like Lenny amplifies and concentrates it in a way that makes it more visible at times. And GTA6 is an example.
He just wants to grow alfalfa to feed to the rabbits.
Most of the people bitching about it will still be buying it day 1 guaranteed. It’s all bs people just like to complain and everything surrounding gta6 is just made up or petty.
It’s going to be an amazing game. Wether people finish it or not is another question. I finally decided to complete red dead redemption 2. There was one achievement that popped up related to story that only 18% of players had gotten. So most people must have never finished the campaign
To this day red dead redemption is still one of the best looking games out there. GTA 6 is going to be better
[…] one achievement that popped up related to story that only 18% of players had gotten.
I see this a LOT for some reason. Like, there are lots of games I play where the achievements make me think a majority of people that bought and played the game only did so for 30 minutes at most. I’ve seen achievements like “completed the tutorial” (completed by 60% of other players) and been like, wtf, 40% of people never even finish the tutorial?? And it seems to trend down from there. I wonder what that means often. Maybe people are playing the games in such a way that the achievements don’t register? Or there really are a ton of people buying games, playing them for 5 minutes, and then never touching them again??
Sly Cooper (the first one, I believe) has a trophy pop-in as soon as you get control of the character, after a short cut scene.
That trophy isn’t 100% either.
I’ve got friends who are buying games on sale, because maybe they will play it someday, and then they have 150 games they will playvsomeday (the list is growing bigger).
Those are friends with thousands of hours on CS or Hoi
Does it count if you buy it but never even launched it? That could be a significant portion of these things, but I kind of assumed the game had to have been launched at least once to start tracking achievements…
If its a game that appears on gamepass I probably feature in those stats. I dont have the time/attention span for a big epic game any more, so I’ll play it for a little while and when its obvious the scope is outside of my capabilities I just drop it. RDR2 I dropped as soon as I got past the prologue and into the camp. It showed me the size of the map, and then all the little fetch quests you’d need to reshoe your horse, and you need to keep your camp stocked with food, and I just said nope.
I’ll also drop games if they don’t feel “unique” enough. This is pretty subjective and open to hypocrisy on my part. I gave up on Hogwarts Legacy after the first fight. I was excited for Bully or Skool Daze in a magical world, but it was just assassin’s creed with magic wands.
I have a bad habit of not finishing games. Like I love balurs gate 3 but I’ve never completed it
Fully agree. It’s the zeitgeist right now, it’s the biggest gaming moment in a long time, and while the hate of crunch and union busting is real, rockstar has a solid track record of near perfect games. Few of them, but near if not actually perfect. Guaranteed most people here complaining will pick it up after a while and justify it to themselves.
If it exists. I don’t know why rockstar wouldn’t release the next gen update for rdr2 now. It would give us 3 months to explore that world again. Because once gta6 hits nobody will be playing that and once online hits RDR2 will be forgotten about. Granted I never got into gta5 online but think I will this time
Interestingly this post of yours is the first I’ve heard of GTA6 in weeks.
edit: In 10 days seem more correct.
Same. This post gives guerrilla marketing vibes.
