No PC no buy. Fuck your console exclusive bullshit I ain't double dipping this time

    I don't think a lot of people are going to double dip this time. This game will sell consoles, but it's not going to make up for the deficit the console market has compared to how many PS3s and Xbox 360s were out there in 2013.

    I really hope this is true. The only thing that will stop Rockstar from the delayed PC release nonsense in the future is actually stopping the double dip.

    I ended up with a PS4 just for Red Dead 2. But I still haven't bought it on PC and have no plans to do so.

    The thing is, the PS4 kind of made sense because I also wanted a Blu-Ray player. I still have it for that, so a PS5 would be an impossible sell to me. It's like Rockstar tries to sell consoles but this time around is one of the worst ever console eras.

    Can't wait to pick this up for $30 on PC 3 years after it's released. Fuck $80 games and fuck double-dip releases that don't release same-day on PC.

    Just cutscenes, no gameplay, as always with these trailers. Cutscenes look nice but that doesn't mean shit.

    Why can't they show at least a glimpse of gameplay.

    The first thing i noticed is the awful amount of TAA/Upscaling artefacting. Apart from that it looks good i guess. I mean its GTA. It will probably be an enjoyable game. But still: Fuck Rockstar. Fuck Take2.

    As long as they let you turn off the upscaling I won't complain about it. Unfortunately there has been a trend as of late to force it on; the artifacting drives me nuts. It's always harder to to see in youtube videos though, since they are compressed quite a bit compared to live play.

    Biggest thing that concerns me was their focus on pushing one into multiplayer in V. I'm worried that is going to intensify since it made them so damn much money doing that last time.

    Either way, game isn't out for a year, and it isn't out for PC for probably two years. So, just going to go back to enjoying my Breath of Fire IV playthrough I'm currently doing. :)

    You know what's wild? The original Vice City was a period piece, taking place in 1986, 16 years before the year it was released. This Vice City will be released 13 years after the last GTA.

    Even if it comes on PC, it will come with the stupid Rockstar launcher.

    I have now decided to stop playing games that require anything else than just pure Steam or GOG Galaxy.

    This way I could pass to Linux and don't have to install crappy bloatware on my machine.

  • I love how it starts with Jason saying "Just fixing a few leaks". I see what you did there.

  • source
  • [–] 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    I can see it now.

    So, Jason and Lucia are together, right? Lucia gets out of jail and then Jason and Lucia start robbing again. Pulling a Bonnie and Clyde thing robbing across Vice City and the surrounding areas. But, as a result of their robberies, something from either of their pasts comes back to bite them. Maybe Lucia has some connections to the cartels and is the reason why she got canned. Or Jason got her out by doing making a deal with someone he shouldn't have. Either way, kinda like what happened with Michael in the last game, they're forced to work with the cartels and corrupt cops. And, eventually, it gets to the point that they've become so infamous that either the cops are cartels have it out for them. But, they offer them a deal. To either Jason or Lucia. You wanna live? Kill the other. If you don't, you're both dead. That's gives us multiple endings like GTA V. Either Lucia dies, Jason, or both.

    If it's anything like Bonnie and Clyde, the ending is not going to be fun.

    But it turns out they fake their deaths and the camera pans to a small town in mexico: "15 years later..." where you play as their child and discover they're both alive and well, but bored with their lives. They reminisce on the good old days of adventure before reading the mail and discovering a potential bank to rob. "One last heist, eh?" one says to the other before both of them smile and the screen cuts to black.

    Hire fans, or something

    I struggle to connect with any of those characters. I did like Niko Bellic, he was a “character”. Maybe it was his accent, his immigrant’s take on things, don’t remember, it was a while ago.

    4s story is my favorite of the series.

    The juxtaposition of the immigrant story with the satire of America that gta normally has meshed very well. Thinking of the internet Cafe mission and Brucie. Niiko as a character brought more than the flavor of gang members previous and after.

    Maybe I’m just old, but I feel like all the people complaining about no PC port at launch, or how this trailer doesn’t show gameplay must be ‘new’ to the series (which to be fair, could mean as much as a decade).

    This is how Rockstar have pretty much always done it, going all the way back to GTA3 on the PlayStation 2; PC ports have always been 6+ months after.

    Trailer 1 tends to be about the setting, Trailer 2 about the primary characters, then Trailer 3/4 about the supporting characters. ‘Gameplay Trailers’ usually don’t come out around/after launch as that’s usually what’s being still being worked on by the devs.

    We will always complain about the lack of a PC port at launch... especially in this era.

    We're not going away

    Feel free to complain, no one is trying to stop you. Just understand though that you are screaming into the void, and nothing will come of it bar heightened cortisol.

    Grand Theft Auto is the arguably the most profitable gaming franchise ever, and it got there doing this exact release cadence. Rockstar Games & Take-Two Interactive will continue to do so for as long as it continues to maximise profits.

    Does it stuck for us gamers? Absolutely, but that’s just Capitalism. Given how quickly this hobby has been enshittified over the post decade, we should probably be counting our lucky stars that it looks like Rockstar is still investing heavily into the next entry, and not just pumping out shallow annual releases like Call of Duty!

    I've never regretted a GTA purchase (admittedly I didn't get the remasters so that might be why...) so I'm cautiously looking forward to this one. Started up 5 again recently with the Enhanced version dropping on PC and man its still stupid fun.

    Y'all have been doing this with every GTA release since the very beginning of the series. I don't know why everyone keeps falling for it. The PC port is coming; it always does. Most likely around Q4 2027, or Q2 2028 at the very latest.

    Rockstar does this because people have very short term memories. They're banking on your forgetfulness so that you'll buy the console version, and then the PC version as well when they announce it a year later. The Rockstar double dip is their signature move.

    Apparently there is a lot more info about the game on the official site: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI

    It's not loading at the moment but it contains some screenshots, character info, and confirms certain locations that will appear.

    The trailer looked gorgeous, possibly the most photorealistic game we've seen yet. I know it was probably recorded on a PS5 Pro, but the fact that it looks this good on console is wild. Still lame that it won't release on PC at release.

    I appreciate them putting their money where their mouth is after delaying the game to next year.

    Hope to see running gameplay soon.
