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.

I played a bit of GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas. GTA IV and V were the first ones I completed. I went on to RDR2.

Honestly if you’ve never played RDR2, you should. That game is phenomenal and is what got me excited for VI. I wasn’t too hyped for it before I played RDR2 because simply put I found V to be kinda boring outside of story mode, with IV having the most to do outside of it but still not complete.

I am playing RDR2 still to this day and finding new shit. If Rockstar goes for a more serious tone with the immersion of RDR2 plus more, I’m gonna lose my mind.

That said I still understand your sentiment OP. Typically Rockstar tries to simply make each game a little more immersive but the same core mechanics and I can understand how that would get boring. But if you haven’t played RDR2 I would seriously reconsider the hype. I think ultimately that game was a sneak peak at the level of complexity and immersion Rockstar is going for here. I would not expect it to be “GTA V but better graphics”.
