"God please let GTA 6 be a massive flop it would be so fucking funny."

I think it will be. Why are they clamoring to get as much money up front as possible otherwise?

The old Rockstar is dead. Ppl r gonna preorder GTA anyways and defend the company when they get a broken/unfinished product on day one, claiming it can be fixed in the future with updates. Look at cyberpunk 2077 and no mans land.

no mans sky still sucks. people saying its better now just feels like cope. like sure its better but that doesnt make it good.

Its serviceable. A lot of it is shallow, finding new creatures, new planets often makes you see the same thing youve already seen with the details changed a bit. But some places genuinely felt special - Ive seen a worm the size of my frigate once, and only once. That's the kind of weird shit I want in every exploration game. The story I expected to be an afterthought, but damn, its straight up pretty decent. Can't speak for any of the people who supported the kickstarter, it really sucked for them and they have a right to not be satisfied, but I absolutely got a very enjoyable experience out of it. There are better games that I enjoyed much much less

I love No Man's Sky

It's a good thing opinions are subjective, and individual to the person. Fwiw, my opinion differs completely. I really enjoyed it on launch, but left it after I'd built a ship, seen a few planets and completed the ten part Atlas storyline. Of course that was 100% of the features on launch. The game's features are colossal now

Sadly true. I jump in every few years. Make a new character, do the run, do the new stuff, do the current season. It’s all still the same just with more.

CP2077 on the other hand did it. I never had an issue at launch like the loud groups did. But I appreciate the work, the qol updates, and the expansion. They did turn that game around … but again, I didn’t see the initial problems anyways …

You clearly didn't make the mistake of getting it on PS4. Waiting a couple years and trying it on pc was entirely night and day

For Cyberpunk, I’m a pc player through and through. But I had friends with better hardware that encountered a lot of issues to. I guess I just got lucky. And I’m happy I did tbh. The game world (cyberpunk genre inclusive) means so much to me.

I ran into so many bugs in Cyberpunk when playing on an Xbox at launch, but most of them were just fun to laugh at, I didn’t get mad about it.

I mean, it’s what they promised, and some more now. That’s just not a game for everyone. It’s a little bit of everything with none of it being well fleshed out because I don’t think they know how to do any one thing specifically well at all. But like, if you’re into that type of game it’s fine? If you’re not, well then of course you’re not gonna like it not every game is for everyone.

Really, really hoping Light No Fire turns out good. Really hoping. The reduced scope (one planet instead of a universe) might make it doable. This might also be wishful thinking on my part.

I got my money's worth out of it.

Because I didn't pay for it, but still.

It's a decent enough game for $free.50, assuming you like the sub genre.

I am done with giant open world games. Data point of one but my current preference is shorter, much more narrowly scoped games.

My current preference is games that have a requirement like "graphics card (optional)"

How could you not enjoy running across the map for 20 min for a 2 min fetch quest and then going back another 20 min to another part of the map to speak to the person who gives you the reward? Don't you like commuting?

Hey, fuck you. Sometimes just commuting is a nice change of pace from my favorite game, Desert Bus.

Desert Bus is soon!

My roommate still plays GTA5 and all she does is sit online and gamble in the casino. She plays in the living room for hours just to grind a new car only to use the same 2 motorcycles or some new missions she won't play.

The online mode might flop, since part of the success of 5's online mode was that it was so generous and buggy at the start that the initial waves of online players became trillionaires in-game. This allowed subsequent waves to be preyed upon by Rockstar but also boosted by the old timers.

You can help by seeding the leak

It really would. Still hoping it's good.

Even if its decent at release, its bound to be filled with bugs that wont be fixed properly because they layed off so many devs. Its gonna be a maintenance nightmare.
