      Are you seriously questioning whether there is any hype for GTA?

      GTAV Online may have hindered Rockstar’s goodwill for fans of the single player mode, but the Online mode rakes in cash.

      RDR2 released in 2018 and is widely considered one of the best single player games with one of the best open worlds, strongly signalling to fans that Rockstar hasn’t lost its mojo.

      GTA VI is, unquestionably, the most anticipated game of the year. To suggest otherwise is to be insanely disingenuous on your part.

        No, I’m honestly surprised. I’ve barely heard anything about GTA VI. Seriously. I don’t care about it, none of my friends have talked about it despite being the kinda game that they’d be into, and I’ve only seen one or two articles on it.

        You sure it’s that highly anticipated? My observation is that people have gotten really sick and tired of AAA games, and this is a shift that’s occurred since RDR2 came out. Very few of the people I know still regularly play AAA games, and those who do almost never buy them on launch. I haven’t seen anywhere near the same amount of hype for GTA VI as I saw for GTA IV or GTA V.

        You’re accusing me of being disingenuous? Maybe you’re the one who’s buying into the hype and overestimating public interest. Or perhaps the true answer is somewhere in the middle. Who knows. I was not intentionally downplaying your favorite series though.

      I just don’t have the patience to wait even more. I have a PS5, so why wouldn’t I play it on release??

          Huh? For £70 I’m getting -

          • Huge open world
          • Very fun and emergent gameplay
          • Likely a world with multiple competing systems and subsystems to play with
          • Incredibly detailed world to get lost and immersed in
          • Given the RDR2 writing, likely a really well written story

          But you’ve decided to latch onto one aspect of the previous game (the Online mode) to try to be as contrarian as possible?

          I sure as heck will pay £70 for the above. And so will many millions of others. Sorry if that does a poo on your hate-train.
