i can't believe we're getting 2026 before gta 6

With open world slop being so widespread, what even is the appeal of GTA6?

My high school classmate who now works at Cockstar told me it was coning out this year just 3 months ago.

good.. don't care. not releasing for PC, fuck off then

GTA 5 was boring as fuck, one of the only games I would genuinely consider overhyped. Usually when I don't like a popular game I can see the appeal of it for other people, but there is fuck all to actually do in GTA 5. Yeah, you can drive around and shoot things, but the shooting is pretty bland and there's no reason at all to get into random gunfights. The driving is decent, but if I wanted to play a driving game, then I would play Forza or something. There's character customisation, but the outfits are extremely limited and boring, mostly just variations of shirts and pants, there's minigames like darts for some reason, there's fake social media and an in-game phone camera, but there is no point to doing anything. Nothing feels satsifying. I just fuck about for half an hour then get bored. The in-game economy is dogshit, you go from having nothing to everything extremely quickly and money very quickly becomes meaningless, so there's no goals to strive for. Like I can't stress enough how there is no point to getting more money, because all you can buy is guns which kill people with the same effectiveness as most other guns, cars to customise, and properties to get more money so you can buy more properties. Red dead 2 was the exact same, a few hours in money becomes meaningless because the Valentine bank robbery will set you up for life, and that's in the first third of the game. There are no more upgrades to be bought, all you can buy is beans. It gets a pass for having a great story and letting me ride on and rob trains, GTA 5 is just nothing.

anyway yeah i probably wont get gta6

They're definitely going to charge $80+ at launch

No shit. They're going to delay it to 2027 too, I guarantee it.

I hope it never comes out tbh.

I'm not surprised, since modern games are so complex and they try to jam the mechanics from 500 different games into a single game these days. I just got Horizon Forbidden West, only played the first few hours (no spoilers please), and there's a chess mini game, all kinds of different fighting mechanics, including melee combos, a weapons crafting minigame, and the side quests are what you'd expect from main quests five years ago.

Games have gotten too complicated. The modern gamer/consumer probably has some wild unrealistic expectations for GTA 6, and it's going to be near impossible to match those expectations. This is not me making some excuse for rockstar games or any of the scummy companies, but just observing where the market is going. Games are no longer what they once were. It's like if every movie was a 10 hour long trilogy, or every song a 10 minute epic. It's too much. And the industry shows no signs of changing course.

Go woke go broke

It will be delayed again. And when it finally does release it will be a buggy unfinished mess that won't run well even on the top of the line hardware.

It's Cyberpunk 2077 all over again

please let there be one more good gta

GT-May '26

PTA delayed to 2027

what no way

what do you mean the game with only one trailer and nothing else is delayed?

rambling here but since ps5s can be jailbroken, I wonder if it’s possible for someone to dump a pkg file (idk how to word sorry I’m bad at it) of the game so we could download it for free, unless they do some bullshit like making the game require the latest update

Are they afraid it won't get GOTY?
