I have played every GTA before, some even got popular like Vice city for some reason. And I am not as hyped as everyone online. It’s just another GTA don’t make it more deep then it is. Back in the day people made GTA clones as a massive meme to make jokes.

    My first GTA was 2, on the PC. Played the hell out of it.

    I am also not getting it, not paid at least. There’s simply no point to it. It’s just gonna be used as a vehicle to farm people’s wallets in GTA:O. GTA V did not get any SP content. Hell, even all the cars they added over the years, could only be gotten with a trainer in SP. What a joke.

      I don’t know how to answer because if I say not really you will just keep saying you do care. So I care as much for this as seeing random videos on my youtube recomended I never watch.

        I feel you man, and I wanted to care, hell I bought my series x in 22 anticipating GTA6. I didn’t expect to wait 4+ years. In that time time I’ve grown tired of waiting, was unaware that GTA5 online was a hot mess and lastly, I’m so fucking over Xbox. It was one thing when I had the 360. Buy a game and play it. The on the One the updates were maddening. Don’t use the console for a few weeks and you needed a 3 gig update to use your games.

        The Series X takes all the shitty from Xbox and amplified it. The goddamned console is pointless and I can honestly say it was absolutely not worth upgrading. My switch 1 was significantly more enjoyable. Definitely the last Xbox I’ll buy.

    I wouldn’t say this is unpopular, I think most people don’t care about GTA 6. They just keep it to themselves cuz they actually don’t care about GTA 6. Unlike some…

    I would have been excited about GTA 6 had it come out well over 5 years ago and if Rockstar hadn’t gone from awesome gaming company to another corporate money cow

    I lost interest in the GTA franchise when they stopped supporting modding. The core games themselves have been engaging enough, but my favourite part was always replacing the cars and driving around in cars I’ll never get to own.

    I’m eternally fascinated by people who are vocal about what they don’t care about.

    Building an identity on what you don’t consume is still consumer culture, only with a dash of contrarianism.

      It is 100% fair to complain when people assume that liking or doing something is universal. I’m more annoyed by those who vocally try to put down disent by giving disengenous arguments.

      People aren’t making their dislike an identity, they’ve been fatigued by the constant barrage of people talking about or promoting a thing they don’t have interest in for years as if it is a hyge cultural touchstone they have to be a part of.

    I think you’re massively overestimating the number of people who have any interest in the game if you think this is hugely unpopular.

      i’m not interested in gta6 either but this is an insane take that doesn’t align with reality at all.

      Half my colleagues actually took the release day off to play it… They’ll likely be met with bandwidth issues and be waiting for it to download all day lol. I don’t think this is much of an overestimation when I’m looking around haha

      It’s not exactly small. They’ve had about ten million preorders, breaking PS5 and XBOX platform records for presales.

        Oh I’m not in any way suggesting the game is small or unpopular. However, this is a general purpose community. The actual percentage of people who actually have an interest in the game is way way below half, which is the threshold you would need to make this an unpopular opinion.

    Yeah I am really sick of the hype for this. I actually bought GTA5 a few months back (thrift store find for $5) and still haven’t played it.

    I spent countless hours on GTA3 and a little on Vice City. I never once played the actual storylines of those games. I just learned cheats in order to drive around and cause mayhem. GTA3, for me, remains the best because the graphics are fake enough that everything is comical. The more realistic it got the more messed up some of it felt.

    GTA6’s graphics do look nice. And as a former Floridian in curious to explore this iteration of Vice City. But I ain’t paying $100 for a download in order to do so.

      GTA5 is fun in story mode. Driving and mayhem only gets you so far.

      I’d recommend trying to progress the story in 5.

      Unlocks characters also.

      I’ll get the Linux native build that eventually shows up on the internet. But I don’t care if I have to wait a decade for it.

      I was thinking the same but I didn’t know if I could say it I would probably test it after months and then figure it out from there if it’s worth it

        The last time I legitimately played a Rockstar game on PC, I lost internet for a couple days, and after a short while the “offline mode” of the game suddenly stopped working and it demanded me to go online again. For GTA V. Fortunately I had The Saboteur DRM-free, so I played that to completion instead, and I had so much more fun. Point is I’m not going to pay for the privilege of a multi billion dollar game company dangling the ability to play another open world crime sim in front of me.

    As soon as Rock$tar started to double and then triple dip on GTA5 sales across next gen and PC… I vowed to never buy another game from them. And never even considered playing online.

    I’ll pirate GTA6 at some point once it inevitably comes to PC just because it means denying them the sale. But until then, don’t care or think I’m missing anything worthwhile.
