GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles (kotaku.com)

I'm confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Why would you buy GTA 6 after 5 became a live service game? Fuck rockstar.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I mean, if the single player is still good, which 5's was too imo

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Support bullshit and you'll eventually get what you supported.

When GTA loses its single player or riddles it with more mtx and live service crap, you'll only have yourself to blame for continuing to buy their crap.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So, in order to maybe not want to play future GTA titles in some theoretical future, you shouldn't play current GTA titles in order to discourage Rockstar from releasing these theoretical games?

The logic doesn't add up here, haha.

All titles. Not just GTA.

Every live service game that makes money helps establish an industry standard. I'd rather Rockstar go out of business and have no GTA games if it means sending that message.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

"Live service" games have existed almost as long as gaming has been around, so I doubt that message is going to be sent anytime soon.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So long as people like you keep on buying their games, the trend will continue.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

the trend will continue because people like live service games

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

If you buy a SP game and they add MTX after thr fact, did you support the implementation of MTX?
If we get a SP campaign and don't play MP it will certainly be reflected in their data.
And believe: They will abso-fucking-lutely track the telemetry data out of it.

I am afraid they will make the whole game subscription based. You won't even be allowed to own the single player experience

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Source?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I don't think he needs a source - it is a fear. And not an entirely unreasonable one. Hell, car companies are chasing subscription payments for seat warmers in actual cars... the guy is a bastion of sanity.

GTA V’s single player was worth $60 even if it never got any DLC. I don’t touch GTA online.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

If it hadn't been for reddit, I wouldn't have been aware that there was an online mode.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The amount of work and passion Rockstar brings into their single player experiences is by far worth the money. Bethesda needs to take a lesson from them.

Yes, they milk the multiplayer online experience for as much as they can get, but they are still working on new games in the meantime.

honestly not a lot of people care game is still fun
