I just wanted a "purge mode" for gta v. The entire populace, rioting, with weapons was allowed with codes on the older games, but not iv or v.
Also, maybe a futuristic city for the next one. An accessible space station/port, interplanetary travel. I know, I'm in the minority here, but after v, another sunsoaked city with a night life just doesn't do it for me.
@KayOL77 🤣🤣haven't got to goderick yet. Like you said the castle is huge. But yeah, fcuk those knights. They're up there with the black knight archers.
This is a great list and very informative. The one thing that irks me is the list is in alphabetical order, yet god of war is before ghost of tsushima.
"A lot of this chatter is, of course, intended to be taken tongue-in-cheek, but there’s venom to some of the hot takes that’s increasingly rubbing me the wrong way."
Sorry, I stopped reading here. I know it's a soapbox and all opinions, but don't be sensitive. Do you game for your entertainment or the opinions of others?
Borderlands was a revelation. Borderlands 2 was more of what we loved. Borderlands 3? For me, at least, the main antagonists weren't for me. "Cringe" is what the young people say. The guns and shooting were fun. Hopefully this one adds a breath of fresh air to a great series, that's starting to feel stagnant(to me).
Can't wait. Q2 preorder. 256GB should be enough for 3, maybe 4 high quality games or a number of older games or less demanding games. I hear the ssd is removable and upgradable. But at your own risk.
@Ilovecoffee let's apply this lazy logic, elsewhere. Why bother with gt7, there are six others. Why bother with any shooter, we have cod. Why bother with rift apart, we have the other r&c games. Why bother with ANOTHER mario or fifa or metal gear or resident evil or..
Is this because of trying to get the game working across generations? Would we have been better off with a perfectly optimized ps4/xbo game, with next-gen offerings down the line? Or if it was a ps5/xbsx generation exclusive?
@JohnGrey crazy how opinions work, huh. It's as if this person is speaking for themselves, and not the community. You can always go back to the 2020 review and feel good about yourself?
A game of this scope and size, is bound to have a few bugs, here and there. So long as none are game or immersion breaking, then I can guess it's all good.
@TheRedComet I remember paying $71+(after taxes) for super contra: alien wars on snes. Not easy as a child. That was five lawns and a birthday, back then.
Of the 70%, I'm sure some are just supporting a great dev team, some are probably parents(or others) buying a gift and doesn't know better, and some probably just want to see the world burn. Regardless, not my money, spend it however you'd like.
😬I want to watch. I was looking forward to a young sifu speedrun. But I also want to experience the game first and for a bit, before watching spoilers, etc. Torn.
@LiamCroft nintendo life and pure xbox have the online store, with a 10% discount off their respective giftcards, sometimes. Is there something similar for push square?
@GamerDad66 as a ps5 owner, trust me when I say, y'all can wait. Especially with hfw, gow rag, gt and others are releasing on the ps4 still. The "exclusives" are a remake(DeS), a sequel(r&c) and a niche game(returnal), and if you're not interested in either, definitely no point.
Thus far, this gen has been underwhelming. Remakes and smart delivery, everywhere. Even the new gen games are just pretty versions of older games. Halo, forza horizon 5, demon's souls, ratchet and clank. It feels like ps4 super pro and xbox series x-tra.
Gaas is something people wanted for their sports games. Pay a one time fee, $30, then pay for yearly updates to a roster, stadiums, playbooks, etc($10-15). The sports devs didn't even consider it. While the games we didn't want as a service, are becoming services.
Now I've seen everything. At first, it was funny when people would argue over plastic boxes, xb or ps. Then it got weird, when people started arguing over, semantics, "you're ps? Disc or disc less?" Now people are arguing others for deciding to save money?
GTA 6 Officially Confirmed, Development Is 'Well Underway' 🤣🤣 That's like what my weed man used to tell me, "on the way/down the street/around the corner" HELLA mins later.
$1.6B spread amongst the 1000 employees(for sake of arguement), that's $1.6 million each, to stay on board. But for how long, what will they do, will there be freedom to do what they want, etc.
Will they be free, will they be good, more importantly, will they affect the GoWs or GoTsushis(the great solo games), etc. If the answers are yes, yes, no, then there is no problem, bring'em on!
Online only games, seem no different than a cloud game. You pay full price for a product, that's at the whim of the publisher. Unless an offline mode is patched in.
The thing with acquisitions is you're "kind of" getting the talent, but mostly what you're paying for is the IPs and the tech behind the scenes. Talents leave and form their own studios, a lot, but the IPs and proprietary tech stays.
@TheCollector316 you know that ms wasnt the first and only suitor for actiblizz, right? Would we be okay if google, facebook, amazon or tencent bought actiblizz or zenimax? Think of all those games being tied to a streaming service only or having to have a facebook account to play these games. Just saying, ms is an evil we know.
