Grand Theft Auto 6

Think this will probably be the first GTA that I haven’t gotten at launch since GTA3. I have no doubt online will be the main focus considering the money it makes, but it doesn’t interest me at all. And while I expect the map to be meticulously crafted and a huge technical achievement I’m not sure how fun it will be to play.

I finished RDR2s story but didn’t really find the gameplay all that great - the mundane stuff you needed to do like bathe and brush your horse etc was more annoying than anything else and I don’t think they’ve ever managed to make shooting that satisfying considering how much of it you do in their games. The mission design got old quickly too. Go here, shoot, escape.

Might change my mind if we see any actual single player gameplay. It’s probably moot anyway as I won’t have something that will be able to run it half decently for a few years!

Your favourite guy. 🤣

I dunno. As I said on the Crimsom Desert thread, CD was made with a dev team of approx 250 a peak, ans a budget between 150-300 million, and created something amazing. So my expectations for GTA 6 with its 600 devs and 3 billion budget is probably unrealsitically high, and I suspect it will go the RDR2 route of realism > fun. There'll be fun there, but marred by realism.

3-4 weeks it will probably take me about 12 weeks to play the game.

I've no interest in online either but for those 60 hours or so it would still take me 12 weeks. But I suppose if the game really sucks me in I may find time someway like just staying at home playing it at the weekends.

Any approx on the cost of this game?

Can someone explain to me (like I'm a child) how they make so much money from GTAV online?

I got it on the PS3 when it came out, played (and loved) the story a few times, but didn't dabble too much online as pretty much every online session I joined, I was by a country mile the weakest player every time so it became a bit pointless.. I did like the online rampage style games though, but never really went beyond that..

Queue over a decade later and I built a gaming PC, and started playing GTAV Enhanced story mode again… went online and was in some game where there was a target I/we had to take out? (capture the flag type of thing?), anyway I saw the target in their car, tried to pop off a few shots at them, and then they proceeded to kill me instantly, and every time I re-spawned…. about 10 times….. so I again decided Online wasn't for me!!

Do you buy in game money for real money? and that's how they earn from it?

I have played GTA Online since launch, even the Boards-ie crew has OG status, and never spent a penny online. Even when the release new free dlc and new properties and cars that cost a bomb, there's missions to go with them to earn the money, I've never felt like i was missing out on new content for not having enough money. I can only assume the earnings are purely from kids with open parents wallets and whale rich people ego but shark cards like jellies.

It must be because the player base is so large that is they sell the item, there's enough people that will buy it.

Reminds me of the show Mythic Quest where the mtx guy was bored from the lack of challenge on creating items people will buy so he made an in game sword and put it up for 1 million dollars knowing everyone would want it but no one would but it. It was bought as soon as it was uploaded.

They're probably going to try to seperate dollars and the paid currency this time around like in Red dead. Red dead didn't have enough stuff to buy with gold so it didn't matter buy you could only earn so much gold per day/week/whatever.

Have it as some fake cryptocurrency or maybe gold again.

I cannot wait for that game.
