I'm tired of GTA (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm so tired of GTA.

I finished Vice City and it was great.

GTA IV didn't click with me at all, I hated the characters and the endless busywork.

GTA V was considerably better, but I never got around to finish it, I just moved on to other things.

And now the ridiculous hype for GTA VI.

I mean I get it, it's a very polished product, maybe the most polished game ever. But I'm just so tired of it. I like driving, I like shooting, I like adult themes and humor, but it's the same every damn time. And it seems to get more contemporary with each iteration. I'm not from the US and I'm not that invested in whatever is happening there. GTA looks to be 110% focused on increasingly specific North American societal issues, judging from the trailer. I'm not into it, which isn't a problem in itself, but the endless bombardment with the hype on every conceivable channel is grinding my nerves.

I know I can't change it, just needed to vent for a minute.

Enjoy GTA VI, I'm sure it will look amazing and set standards for quality and polish. I'll enjoy a gameplay trailer and hopefully some silence once the initial rush is over.

Same tbh. I've always heard raves about the story side of GTA, and as someone who primarily plays single-player, story-driven games, i just dont get it. RDR1 and 2 showed me Rockstar (anyone, honestly) can do so much better. The story serves the purpose of putting players in quests and that's about it. V was a treat, but mainly because I grew up in and around LA and it was pretty accurately recreated. Otherwise, you're right, it's pretty much the same shtick but more modern.

I'll probably play VI in a few years if it goes on super-sale or i sail the seas for it, but I'm right there with you on not getting the hype.
