With the plethora of great games getting released every month on PC, it's very hard to feel any excitment for a game that will probably release in 2027 on PC. It doesn't help that GTA Online left a sour taste, and even the single player story was only great for the first few hours then you just start doing heists for the fbi for the rest of the game. Considering we're only getting a cinematic trailer after all this wait, I'm expecting already multiple delays or cyberpunk-level of disaster at launch
Man youre so right.... You know they are going console 1st.. then when sales die down they will release on PC. Same rinse and repeat bull shit as before.
My question is going to be how online will this one be? If it's two separate deals like 5 then cool... If not. I'm probably going to pass.
Yeah that's my question. Like many others, I grew up with the single player only GTA experience. I have so many core gaming memories just fucking about in GTA 3/vice city etc. I just really hope we get a decent single player experience.
Me too. I'll probably not buy it the first year it's on PC... Just to see how it all shakes out
The shark card whale bonanza killed any excitement I had for the franchise. I know they are gonna just milk the shit out of it, and it will probably cut into the quality of the game/experience. On the plus side, smaller games like Last Train Home kick ass and are a ton of fun, and I'm looking forward to another indie game coming out next year.
I suspect given the success of GTA online their priorities have shifted and they'll want this on as many platforms as possible on release. They're a GTA online company now, units sold are a secondary concern.
Take-Two already announced on their website there will be a time-exclusive release for PS5 and Xbox initially.
My guess is they're going to treat online like a separate game release, like they did for GTA V and RDR2, and get out a PC version when that happens.
Yeah, I am really tired of the double dipping attempts of trying to sell the game twice.
