If you're in the minority I'm there with you. I just want to play offline story mode. I have exactly ZERO desire to play GTA or RDR online.

I will say, the RDR2 world was significantly more immersive than GTA V was (though there was a lot of years between them). I actually wanted to explore the world and uncover all the random shit. With GTA V yeah it was fun to drive around and blow shit up but there wasn't really engaging content outside the story.

I'll be curious what GTA VI holds, but I'm not going to pre-order or even purchase on day one. I'll wait and see how things go.

They're gonna make a stink about 150, then charge 80 for the base version. 90 for the digital deluxe. 125 for the collectors.

GTA 5 single-player was absolutely fine, certainly on the whole not worse than the other 3d GTAs. Never cared about online.

While I agree that 4 is amazing, 5 felt anything but empty. It was literally the most lived in GTA world theyve made, where every GTA before felt like walking through an old Hollywood set where you can't go into any buildings and to look behind the facade would reveal the hollowness of the world.

Make that two of us. I think maybe IV had worse graphics, but other than that it was superior to V. Especially when you include those two extra DLCs and how interestingly those stories intertwine.

i don't ever play online or the campaign, i just like driving around and crashing into shit

My aunt’s brother said mostly the same thing. You’ll also get a small discount on the game for every person you recruit to play/pay daily. If the person you recruited then recruits someone else, you’ll get a shared discount. I plan to preorder early so I can finally be my own boss.

You can preorder now, send me $ and start selling drugs irl, you'll get in game currency once the game is released.

If you hum The Final Countdown while it's loading, it'll let you play original Vice City instead!

I assumed he was prepared for something higher than $50-60, like maybe $80. I really can't imagine any company trying to justify $150 for a game. That price would drive more people out of the market.

I love GTA and Red Dead Redemption and I make 6 figures, and there is no way in hell I'm paying $150 for a game. But I would pay $80. I wouldn't be happy about it, but I would still pay it.

You know, I've read stories on how money was so worthless after Black Friday that workers transported their wage with a wheelbarrow. How come that nowadays, inflation just means that everything is fucking expensive, but you still get the same jack-shit paycheck?

I'm pretty convinced it's not inflation that drives up prices, it's greed.

We're in a lot of trouble if inflation cuts the value of the dollar by more than half in 13 years.

Oh son you underestimated the pirate scene

Who would buy the game for that damn much anyway

The leaks did have some singleplayer aspects but its pretty much guaranteed to have multiplayer with all the bs they got in gta 5. Its rockstar after all, they wouldnt pass on that.

Please stop giving them ideas

Honestly, I stopped playing them properly after GTA3

Not the right paradigm anymore. Rockstar puts games out that have cultural resonance that they can lampoon. Bully came out right at the perfect time when school bullying and pearl clutching was at an all time high. There hasn't been enough fundamental change in that regard, for better or worse, since then for Bully 2 to make much sense beyond "but gamers want it!"
