I was going to buy it in ~5 years on PC for the single player campaign...
But if they're describing it as a "single player experience" it's going to be a shitty offshoot of multiplayer instead of a ring campaign that has a multiplayer slapped on.
It sounds like a minor difference, but it means the entire "experience" is just reskinned multiplayer and will push people there so they spend money.
This one will likely be bad
Where are you getting that it's an offshoot of the mulitplayer? We've seen the cinematic trailers and such by now. There are written characters, and you're not just playing as the create-a-character "John Auto". I think they're just saying it's a single player experience so that people looking for GTA Online know that it won't be there at launch.
We saw the same thing for GTAV.
And singleplayer immediately got dumped and ignored the second Online came out and the idiots with more money than sense started dumping texas sized dumptrucks into rockstars lap on the daily.
cinematic trailers are just lies... they are never true representations of the game. they are afterall, CINEMATIC...
the word experience, implies it's NOT single player... but you can experience what single player could have been, if they gave a shit.
gta5 already proved they don't give a single fick about customers, or single player.
companies use words for specific reasons.. to mislead, deceive and lie to you. they make you think A, when Infact they are delivering 🖕
There's a big difference between "this cut-scene shows something cooler than what I can do when I'm in control" and "extrapolating the word 'experience' out to mean that anything single player is going to be half-assed".
to kinda preface, I'm not saying they aren't well made it whatever.. it's just disinformation about the product.
cinematic trailers are trailers for the cutscenes. Trailers are an actual representation of the game.
they added a word (cinematic, or experience) to be able to sell you on something that is not a true representation of the product. ie lies/disinformation.
All companies are guilty of it.
simulated, made with, 100% [noun], no added, * ,zero, new bigger size, etc..etc..etc... .. it's all the same. big corporations lie with everything they slave us out to create/produce/distribute/sell.
Okay, but you filled in the blanks with a whole lot of your imagination instead of correctly coming to the conclusion that they used the language they did to indicate that multiplayer won't be releasing in this SKU, at least at first.
Not a fan of GTA 3, eh?
I think canonically his name ended up being Claude? But no, I mean the way GTA Online does its missions is that every NPC will talk to you, but your character is silent. And no create-a-character system outputs characters that look as good as the protagonists of GTA 6, where they have human actors as the reference models and performance capture.
I think he's been Claude Speed even back in GTA 2. My point was that "Claude Speed" is practically the same name as "John Auto".
Oh, I went with John Auto because whenever there's a Street Fighter trailer with the generic create-a-fighter for World Tour mode, people call that guy John Street Fighter. We definitely haven't seen create-a-characters up to this point.
GTA Online has introduced many characters and campaigns. It just doesn’t center around a specific voiced protagonist, or hold any kind of long-term writing stakes. It’s possible some of those cinematics come from their online missions as a result.
Lots of live service games have made that effort; apparently even Fortnite builds some semblance of “story” to justify each battle pass? (I don’t play it so I’m not sure)
Sure, but we know exactly who the protagonists are. It's the Bonnie and Clyde dynamic. It's a single player campaign. This isn't a guess; we know this. Even if they hadn't said this publicly, we knew this from leaks from years ago.
Part of my point is that we don’t know how much of its implied expansive story is actually singleplayer. A game with three singleplayer tutorials missions that end with “Now play multiplayer!” can likely make a cinematic story-based trailer based around key protagonists, and advertise “A singleplayer experience”; Battlefield has basically done this several times.
I certainly hope it leans towards a complete singleplayer, but the past decade of GTA Online makes me worried otherwise.
I very strongly believe the wording is just there to let you know that GTA Online won't be available at launch, much like with RDR2 and GTAV. I'm actually surprised so many people are reading it any other way.
Sounds like they just mean no gtao...
Shark cards are their cash cow there's going to be a online that's pushing people to buy them.
It's wild you could use local hacks that were just a text file to give yourself unlimited money and spawn things and people still paying for shark cards.
This is a massive stretch with zero evidence...
You could have asked me to fill in the missing steps you're having trouble filling in...
That would have resulted in you gaining understanding about this specifically, and how people use logic and critical thinking in general.
That's crazy man, instead you did that, and now I'll never see an actual question you ask me.
Haha, what kind of asinine comment is this?
I think you should do some self-reflecting and look into solving your issues before lashing out at other people
Same thing man.
You could have asked why I think it's obvious the single player will just be a hamstring multiplayer, and I'd have explained it.
Would've been so easy
Yes, I could have, but I honestly don't care about your opinion and you don't seem like a nice person to talk to.
I don't know what's going on in your life but hopefully you're just having a bad moment.
Dude, come on, you say completely unsubstantiated bullshit on here all the time. It isn't their job to ask you to explore your stupid, baseless, bullshit claim.
(In fact, you can't see this right now because you've told me you've blocked me for debunking your paper-thin, vibes-based bullshit in the past. So I for example couldn't ask if I wanted. lmao)
Wow
