Kind of random but I hope they do the game comparisons not just with GTA 4 & 5 but also GTA clones like Watchdogs or even Cyberpunk 2077.
For all the graphical "upgrades" we've gotten, the physics and dynamic open world has fallen far behind.
What's the point of all that graphic fidelity if NPCs still act like scripted bots from Skyrim?
I was an adventurer too, until I took an arrow to the knee.
Confucius say: Do not lament the bootlicker giving over their paycheck to Rockstar for their entry price to microtaxation. Celebrate instead the indie game that fulfilled your dream of slapping Nazis with a trout.
Is that real? I wanna slap some Nazis with some trout
I'm out. I know that it wont amount to much in the grand scheme of things. I switched from a pure Playstation background (owned 1 through 5 on release day and had hundreds of games for each generation) over to PC. I wont partake in this, and I have spent thousands of hours with GTA.
Between Playatation being shitty and now Rockstar being extra shitty, I'm out.
Is rockstar owned by Sony?
Post-covid inflation proved to companies that customers will pay up regardless because they want it and they want it now, no matter the price. Hell, we laughed at horse armor but microtransactions caught on anyway. Voting with your wallet doesn't work because there are an endless swarm of consoomers itching to blow their money on product.

Do not preorder anything ever
Cyberpunk 2077 was the last game I’ll ever pre-order. I’m more of a wait for the complete edition to go on sale kind of guy now.

I'll be honest, I haven't touched a GTA since Vice City on the PC.
You should play gta4 it's a masterpiece
Liberty city stories on the psp on my end. I got the last one or PC installed it played it for two days and then I threw it out after playing multi-player and the only thing people wanted to do was heist.

I'm not sure why we're surprised.
This entire gen has had spotty coverage of physical games at the best of times. Even on the biggest titles.
Just off the top of my head BG3 wasn't even available on disc, and Indiana Jones was only in some overpriced collector's edition.
I guess the odd way GTA6 is putting a code in a box is grabbing the headlines, rather than it just not being available on a disc.
It's still a pretty big deal because rockstar games are huge and some people still have bad internet. I probably wouldn't have bought RDR2 on PS4 if it didn't have a physical copy of the game, precisely because I was keeping that console at my parent's place to have something to do there despite their terrible internet connection.

Sony gamers are just like iphone users
So I was watching JoeFromSeattle and he basically has an observation/theory from repeatedly interacting with these people on Twitter.
... They literally do not count themselves as 'gamers', they use the word to identify others.
These are the people who buy Madden/FIFA every year, every COD, every Battlefield, and assume everyone does that, to the point of projecting it without realizing it and then not believing you if you say you didn't do that as well.
... they are very often illiterate, cannot understand sentences above roughly Grade 5 complexity, always assume they are correct and work backwards to attempt to form a justification for whatever they've decided is corrrect.
... they're morons.
Like just... complete fucking morons.
And that's not an insult, its simply accurate.
It's always fun going through Facebook marketplace and seeing consoles for sale with their "game collection" which is just 10 boxes with the yearly iterations of FIFA and CoD.
I think you've hit the nail on the head there and I'll extend as someone who used to love sports games, I haven't physically bought one since like Xbox 360 when I think my system was bundled with it. All sports games are digital now because it's the same goddamn game at this point with roster updates what is the bloody point? Lol
So even then I agree but I don't think it's just that they're morons they are either disingenuous morons or truly stupid because I sense a lot of them are not buying physical media of their FIFA or NBA games anymore.
Used game stores back this up. What you see at used game stores now are the ever popular mainstream shit that has no replay value, where are all the FIFA copies? Oh right everyone downloads now.
You know what you don't see at gamestop? Elden ring. It's good. Replay value high.
You know what else you don't see at gamestop? Clair obscura. It's new. Physical media is dead.
I appreciate the perspective and refinement of the idea.
Yeah, I'm in the crowd of like, bought a Madden game once, had decent fun with it... and then realized the business model is just 'add two features, take 2 away', every fucking year and the whole thing is a scam.
I'm looking for actually new kinds of gameplay, something novel, or maybe a hodgepodge of mechanics tuned or arranged in a new kind of way, or like, absolutely perfected.
Either that or compelling stories and characters, or something with a really distinct art/graphical style.
Like uh, Clair Obscura arguably checks at least most of those boxes for most people... Elden Ring is basically the 'perfected' version of Dark Souls, etc.
But yeah... either disingenuous or just truly stupid, as you put it.

GTA 6 won't come out for Linux. So not buying it is easy
AFAIK, Rockstar usually releases for PC a year or more after consoles. I believe GTA 5 will run on Linux with story mode, but not online mode due to the anti-cheat rootkit . Is there an indication that 6 will be different?

I'll boycott it like I boycotted Concord. Or Cleopatra. Or Dr. Who. Or SuperGirl. Or Mixtape. Or Odyssey by Nolan. I'll do nothing and destroy them, I'll watch them burn doing nothing and being happy
