GTA is like catnip for normies and I don't understand it

GTA is like catnip for normies and I don't understand it.

ugly characters

"open world" with all doors closed and interiors inaccessible

basic shooter gameplay

driving infinitely inferior to that of any popular racing game

every map is an island in the middle of an ocean for some reason (?) despite being based in the US

Like at this point, even Ubishit and Bethesturd games have more going for them than this slop.

and I don't understand it

Because you're not normal autist. The question is why are you so asspained about it?

OPsisters...

What will you be playing instead, anon?

the series did some wild things that were quite new for gaming back in the day but nowadays i agree, its basically rehashing itself without any of the selfawareness and creativity.

Metroid Prime 4, Mario Kart 9, etc. You know, better games.

It's a power fantasy of being a badass outlaw. You're probably low t, so it doesn't apply to you.

Ubishit

Now I understand that GTA might be a bit overrated but it's certainly not worse than modern Ubishit

nintendoslop

Toddler games

yeah GTA is for Mature audience it's not for you manchild

Ubislop games are far far worse and you're a dumb normie for thinking it's better desu

Bro said gonna play Mario kart 9 instead

GTA sloppa brings all the trannies to the yard

The attention to detail is insane

When he opens the cash register the coins slide about in it affected by physics.
Human skin is incredibly detailed
jiggle physics on the right places.
How can you not be hyped?

AC Black Flag and Origins mog every GTA game combined.

i dont understand the obsession with BF, it was so bad kek. the only thing that was cool for the time were the water physics.

Zero gameplay in the trailer and people are saying the game looks good. Lmfao some niggers never learn

what's with this board's autism for being able to enter random buildings in open world games?

GTA is like catnip for normies and I don't understand it.

yeah no cap, GTA3worshipping is the most normiest shit ever seen
I can understand SA or 4 but 3??? lol what a sick joke

this video is really funny bc its OP manga but i fail to understand why the person filming let their cat do that

Because cat "owners" are actually owned by the cat

ya i know its a common joke blah, but i would get my cat to stop immediatly if they did something like that. also you can train cats to not go to specific places even if a lot of people fail to do so.

Imagine wasting this much space on such a shitty manga

Ubislop empty broken world is better

it's only partly a joke, some people are so limp-wristed that they do actually let their cat rule over them

gta fan calling other open worlds empty

Did you even play gta v

open world with all doors closed

I FUCKING HATE OPEN WORLD GAMES FOR THIS. These esl brown-skinned devs don't know that interiors are part of the world? So my living room isn't in Planet Earth because it's inside a house? All open world games do is give us barren wastelands and not even let us break windows and explore what's inside every building. It breaks all immersion and breaks the gimmick of "go anywhere do anything". Now they're spending 10 zillion dollars and watch, buildings will still be closed off and are just there to make the world seem faker. I guarantee open world games will always be shit from now til the end of time.

vb.webm - 618x618, 888.08K

hating popular things doesn't make you interesting anon

i think it has a lot to do with all the memes about it reinforcing those weird presumptions people have of them. that and letting them do whatever for clicks on social media.

Every foid is ugly as shit

But MC is steroid filled gigachad

Why are all games made for foids now?

imagine how stupid the average person is. now realize 50% of people are even dumber than that.

double the effect for your average failure at life Anon Babble poster.

I was there when gta 3 launched. this shit series has never had anything close to actually good gameplay or storytelling.

at this point

you are talking about a PS3 era game. besides RDR2 is the most advanced open world to exist as of now. GTAVI will set the bar even higher.

Why do people here pretend to hate popular games?

snoys are hyping it up because they have LITERALLY nothing else to latch on to.

touch grass
talk to people
get a job
have sex

you will understand

its popular so it must be good!!

imagine being this low IQ

Yeah I never got the appeal either

steal cars, drive around and shoot people

It gets boring after a couple of hours for me

they don't play video games

Had to install a bunch of mods to make GTA 5 playable, so yeah I agree with OP. Still stopped playing after a couple of missions with Trevor. That retard is annoying, black guy and rich guy were cool.
In 5 you're basically immortal, you get hit, you regenerate health and you're back.
Cars felt like they're on rails, insanely good handling.
It's like that game was made for kids.

Ive done all those things and still think GTA is the pure definition of slop. even reddit redemption is better.

Noticed you didn't answer me.

You should earn money by running over people with cars or killing them in drive by shootings and causing explosions and destruction. You should have quick loading screens after getting wasted, a quick visit to buy new guns, infinite space to store cars, 'purchase' cars to recieve a free infinite copy of it when you inevitably blow it up or lose it, and be able to open world explore and find unlockables, upgrades, etc. Instead of locking you out of an area, there should be a clearly easy-area where gangs have pistols, a medium area where they have smgs or shotguns, and hard areas where they have rifles, and getting to 5 stars calls in the military, tanks, helicopters, etc.

It shouldnt be relegated to some stupid lame ass 'rampage mode' as little tunnel vision side missions for one character. The cops shouldnt easily kill you at 2 and 3 star, it should just be a fun ass car chase where you risk getting crashed into and have to exit the vehicle to find another.

There shouldnt be a 200 million dollar budget for a moviegame with RP walk segments

Yeah if you want to be interesting you have to eat slop from a trough

RDR2 is garbage. All style no substance.

Tendieslop

Low T energy.

I can't get why the average Joe likes the big blockbuster games like Call of Duty or GTA

Anon...

kekaroo

that and letting them do whatever for clicks on social media.

true, a lot of people nowadays think about whether something can get them easy internet points first and about consequences second

define substance

Ugly characters

Honestly has never been an issue in the history of GTA

"open world"

It's a rampage sim lmao

Worse driving than racing games

And?

Map is an island

Game design choice because it's easier than just having a massive invisible wall

how does any of this affect the gameplay?

it's the simulation aspect. video games are getting closer and closer to real life, but unlike real life i can be a mass murderer with no real consequences.

Embarrassing.

driving infinitely inferior to that of any popular racing game

Mario Kart 9

lol

gta is like a solid 8/10 for me all the time but i dont get the normies that fucking stroke it like it's GOATTTTT

different strokes for different folks. i also don't understand why someone can spend 10,000 hours abusing i-frames in some rollslop

let us break windows and explore what's inside every building

Is that what you usually do in real life?

females go into psychotic rages when you tell them to self improve even a tiny bit (like even "don't eat so much")
meanwhile they expect men to do it 24/7 and the pussy cartel blue balls us until we become successful and a woman can steal our sperm to create a replacement wageslave

it really do be like dat, dont it?

I have a degree in physics, I work in fintech and I have more money than you and your entire family of prostitutes and beggars. I still think every GTA after SA sucks ass.

I apriciate the polish and details that rockstar games have, gta included. Some story missions and dialogs are good and fun.
When you look at the gameplay loop tho, game enviorment, its all just mundane shit. I play vidya to distance myself from the condition of our reality and all grime that comes with it. Gta characters can be funny but i dont know how you can aspire/idenify as one. They all are pice of shit that have some minisecule redeming qualities. I guess its the only way for close mided normies to expirience freedom of expresion, also gta world is just a disorted mirror of our world so its not confusing to any of them.

Edit: I forgot to say I enjoy sucking cocks very much

No need to seethe.

freedom

edgy

sex

allow you to be a violent criminal and punch soys and annoying people unlike the real world

irl theme

commentary about social issues

it sells itself as a "cool" game (unlike nerd shit like starfield) so normies like snoop dogg will play it and talk about it without feeling autistic. it doesn't require any investment in genre or fiction or anything because it's relatable. the presentation is designed to dazzle people because "it looks realistic" is less abstract than "it has a good visual style" because everyone knows what irl looks like but a "visual style" requires a little connection to some kind of media or art culture. it's mechanically basic and low difficulty so it's accessible.

investmen in genre

Crime fiction is a genre, very popular

the gameplay loop is riding fast expensive cars inbetween shooting people and some fun cutscenes. your standards are too high, i guess you are a based rollsop enjoyer.

I don't understand it

Open world with pretty graphics and surface level "game mechanics". That's all that's needed.

yeah but it's a very relatable genre, it's not like fantasy or sci-fi, it's just the world world. if you had never seen crime fiction before you wouldn't miss a beat, but that isn't true for something like lovecraftian horror or noir or fantasy or superheroes, etc.

sounds like your cpu wasn't fast enough for gta 4

fantasy isn't relatable

avatar and lord of the rings are some of the highest grossing movies of all time

it's things like japanese high school life simulator that are baffling to normalniggers

normies get off on 'breaking the rules', and 'being a bad boy'. Like this is shit children fantasize about and grow out of by adulthood.

you get off on doing chores in stardew valley because you are a neet loser who lives on welfare checks

sounds like you're mad, why?

I don't play stardew valley, gayboy. GTA is hyper normie slop and always has been.

because japs (like koreans) are a special case where they have absolutely no life even as children and then are abused and wageslaved to death, so it's normal for them to want to overdose on nostalgia and coom bait as escapism. Hence their absurd obsession with high school settings and chomo stuff

rollsop

What?

I have a degree in physics

Then you should be able to figure out why you're such a dense retard.

Please don't cry, baby. I'm sorry I abused you ITT.

That was my first post in the thread

even the way they break rules has to be cool, hip and result in vaginal validation kek

Bizzare post

You're in a new thread and still samefagging? LMAO

So you just felt personally attacked by a post that wasn't even addressed to you?

I just wanted to make a joke about physics and density

gta 7 when

L.A. Noire 2 when? Bully 2 when?

WHICH ONE OF YOU IS THE BUBBLE HATER

it is the most complicated game (code)

Normalfags haven't had any games on Playstation/Xbox this entire generation. I've seen Sony fans begging Sony to not release the PS6 so "soon" because "this generation is only just getting started!"
GTA 6 will be way lower in my opinion. Upgrades is now standard, Rockstar can't jew people as hard as they used to with the whole double dipping meme

So if you aren’t a normie, you’re a living stereotype of a neck beard and just play old Nintendo games all day? Not a good look

play gta 3

Your education, status, money etc means nothing on this site. Your posts and threads sit right alongside image dumps of oppai lolis and a methhead rambling about a game he played as a kid. You are equals with them. This is a game you chose to play. Where did all that stuff get you?

344.jpg - 474x197, 21.95K

You're clearly seething so it worked.

why are you so asspained

Because you normalfags are spamming almost as much as the average tendie

Shutting down (ie deliberately misinterpreting any response as 'you're mad so I won') is an avoidant fear response. You have nothing to fear here, your embarrassment will be forgotten when this thread 404s. You have all the opportunity in the world to stop being a flailing retard next time, the slate will be wiped clean. Hold a good thought

I work

You get woken up by an alarm clock and have to play monkey for a big Jew who makes your salary in a week.
I wake up and do a one or two hour goon sesh before I make my way to my pc to shitpost or play pirated vidya
We are not the same

Why do they like call of duty or gta
Serious question
Both series are extremely mind numbingly boring

game where you get to be a criminal chad who steals shit and is never punished for your mayhem

it's everyone's daydream.

b-buh i can't go in to that random fucking office building!

who gives a fuck? would there be something interesting in that office building? No. It's there to be a building you drive past. Some poor bastards work in there, shuffling papers around and hating their lives, that's all you need to know.

todd would let me go in it!

todd's "cities" are literally 5 huts arranged in a circle. that's a "city" if you live in 2000 BC i guess.

truth nvke

Wait
So you don't get why someone would engage with the gameplay of a game, but you proudly declare to enjoy a game whose only achievements are in the graphics and "simulation " (despite no interiors) department?

GTA fags desperately trying to insult games with actual gameplay to defend their shit taste will never not be hilarious.
The shittiest souls game, the babiest nintendo game still has more gameplay complexity.
You just get fooled by the shiny graphics and big world, exactly like the average ubisoft fan.

I feel like Anon Babble's IQ has dropped 20 points with this trailer.

GTA has always been Anon Babblecore. The contrarians who hate things because they're popular look almost as dumb as the toxic positivity crowd.

Characters look fine for the type of story that's being told. These are gangsters shooting people in back alleys, not larger-than-life anime heroes. I'll never complain about girls being made hot, though.
The gameplay is a sandbox. You run around driving cars off roofs, blowing up shit, and searching for collectables while going through the story and completing other objectives.

True, Call of Duty is pretty great too and also Anon Babblecore.

You run around driving cars off roofs, blowing up shit, and searching for collectables while going through the story and completing other objectives.

sounds like asscreed with cars

I didn't see a single bing bing wahoo!!! in the GTA 6 trailer... you're move rockstardrones.

No matter how much they hide it, everybody wants to shoot cops and niggers and rob banks.
It's too bad only IV let you shoot jews.

Maybe if you're retarded.

AssCreed has never been about making your own fun. GTA is the perfect game franchise for when you're tired or thinking about something and just want to run around.

I mean it's no Metroid Prime 4, a game only the biggest boys can master, but I do enjoy how kino rockstar games can be.

nah
amazingly, GTA is more faggoty than Nintendo and that's a fucking feat

the people who can't even get a grasp on how to control characters in rockstar games are telling me it's just for le retards
yeah it's a casual game but I bet I can outlast you in 6 star wanted level. Bet I can beat you in a race bitch. Bet I slap you up in melee. (if the melee is any fucking good again, unlike 5)
I bet I hit sicker jumps. I bet I can fuckin 2 wheel bonus longer than you.

that's what I thought, chump

friendship.jpg - 1394x844, 65.95K

I don't understand it

you don't have to. keep coping and seething, incel.

GTA has always been Anon Babblecore.

I don't understand this. The cause for all the bloat and obsession with empty open worlds in western AAA, aka the Cancer if the industry, was caused by Rockstar and GTA3. You can't like something while disliking the damage it has done

The fuck you saying you retarded fuck?

Every time a new GTA game comes out they are literally the most technologically advanced games of the generation. Every time they somehow manage to single handedly push the envelope, raise the bar and show everyone else what is possible in the medium.

(You).webm - 1280x720, 3.76M

The graphics looks amazing, I just don’t want understand why the entire game is about sex with niggers though

They have been making the same game since GTA3

Same color scheme

It's doomed

Why do people like saving private Ryan or die hard or whatever blockbuster movie

And here is the retarded normie

Rockstar shits out the same GTA3 sloppa but with pretty graphix for decades and normiegroids still eat it up

I have never seen a more delusional set of normal faggotry displayed.

The core movement/shooter gameplay is always the downside of these Rockstar games, cause the production value is genuinely untouchable by other developers.

Not true. Most tidal waves of slop are following a trail that was blazed by something that was really good and inspired.

It's not the original thing that does the damage. It's the lazy committee-driven rehashes that lack the original thing's spirit.

I also don't understand what the appeal is. Open world games with mid driving and third person shooting are a dime a dozen. What makes this one so special? Are people really that attached to brands?

and metroid prime and mario kart arent doing that

mid driving

For a non-racing game, its the best we got. Ghost Recon Wildlands, now THAT is awful driving

Rockstar is a juggernaut in the sales department and are only there for spectacle and nothing else. Gameplay and missions are always the same bullshit.

Metroid and Mario have the decency to change things up. GTA doesn't and just make GTA3 clones with only graphics and mass marketing going for it.

What makes you think GTA always belonged to a super secret gaming nerd club? I was introduced to GTA by my normie drug dealing uncle that let me play Mature rated games because fuck parental supervision Christcuckery. Back to the point. It always belonged to the normies, stupid nitendie

There's jews in gta 5 aswell

Normal people don’t deal drugs, I hope your junkie uncle is round up and shot

You faggots have made every unrelated event about nu-rockstars next lesser game. You hyped it up more than it will ever deserve.

It is almost exclusively a rich kid affliction, so that tracks

Liking normie shit like this should disqualify anyone from posting here again.

I simply don't care about gta since V was garbage?

Why would someone make this image?

You don't shoot people or steal cars irl either homo

they really don't though
I played mario kart 8 and it was the same fuckin shit. If you're gonna say they ironed out the kinks and added a couple new concepts and weapons, GTA has done the same fuckin thing while raising the bar on the tech side

what about metroid prime has changed because I skipped but I watched gameplay I didn't see much

Someone post the german simulator meme

You’re unironically the guy who makes a thread that gets no to reply and so you go on other threads that talk about trashy or good games and you just seethe because you wish your thread had replies

He turned his life around and is raising a child with a wife 10 years younger than him. Sorry, GTA was always a normie franchise you can’t revise history.

Nobody here does, the ones defending it are paid shills, they always are.

GTA is for Mature audience

You may think like that if you are still under 18

GTA is the perfect game franchise for when you're tired or thinking about something and just want to run around.

just turn your brain off bro

literally the same defense for the average capeshit enjoyer

Normal people are all fucking idiots at the end of the day. We get mocked for their living their dream. They cuck themselves into servitude and think they are gods

That's passively consumed. It would be more like running around in a Batman game. Open world has a fun exploration aspect to it.

GTA received a flawed round of major retuning in GTAIV and a much better round in GTAV.

GTAV is not a lazily made game just because it's recognizable as belonging to the same franchise as GTA3 from a gameplay perspective. That sentiment is as dumb as anything that the modern industry is doing. We obviously can't speak on GTAVI yet. GTAVI has too many red flags for me to be excited, but people on Anon Babble are being retarded about the GTA franchise as a whole right now because they can't process that maybe the normies actually do like good games. Which is why western AAA is dying.

Reminder that there are a shit ton of bots here defending and shilling this crap. Their programming prevents them from criticizing anything about the game or the developers.

GTA is just the Sims but for wannabe criminals. And it’s fucking fun, deal with it.

Mario has more variation than Kart. The approaches to defeating bosses and movements always changes. Metroid has different level ups to screw over mobs. GTA has shooting and driving since the third game and didn't change much interaction that the third game already had. The only thing that Rockstar changed is the graphics overtime. Even Simpson's Hit and Run made the npcs more livelier than what we got in GTA V.

technologically advanced

You didn't actually address any points made in the OP
Yeah the graphics are pretty
so what?
What about the gunplay? The driving? The minigames?
They are all 5/10 (actual 5/10, not vidya games media 5/10), average as fuck, sandpapered to be bland and safe and make sure everyone from little timmy who got his hands on his dads console to the bored 70 year old retired wagie can somehow succeed.

GTA is the epitome of lowest common denominator.
Anyone who praises it has zero right to complain about the AAA games industry ever again.

you vehement anti troon posters are so retarded it hurts

I have many issues with gtav , and I hate gtao. that doesn't mean I'm gonna lie and say it was lazily or hastily made

ugly characters

Fakoff you contrarian, the goblina looks fine and the male protagonist is what every man aspires to be (me included).

mario adds a different jump combo and a ton of purely aesthetic changes and a new map.
Mario is good shit but come on man, that's what you hang your hat on to be this fuckin smug about instead of just accepting maybe it's okay that people like the virtual metaverse game where they can fuck whores and commit a ton of crimes and buy a lambo and a yacht and a mansion, while watching a pretty decent story (by video game standards) with decent acting (pure cope if you can't admit that, even if you don't like the writing)

like okay man you're the best gamer you play a real thinking mans game like mario

>driving infinitely inferior to that of any popular racing game

I want to smash cars on the street and kill people along the way, not simulate the sound of the sweat dripping my driver's balls (this is more resource intensive than a bitcoin miner) while driving an indestructible ad on a glorified circle or a road

What if GTA 3 but in Florida?

Rockstar has been running out of ideas. Bully still remains as their last decent game.

Wow it's almost as if I'm in a real Walmart!

Just go to Walmart of cash registers make you hard

When you're a child you think Nintendo is mature, when you're in your 20s you cope and say it's all ages entertainment, when you're in your 30s you realise the ps2 kids who said Nintendo was for chilldren were correct and you actually appreciate the fact that the games are so easy you can give them to your 6 year old child or nephew and they will be able to play it without complaining.

Mario Kart

Mario Kart barely qualifies as a video game. It's the kind of thing you play at the hospital waiting room.

bep bop. must. defend. rockstar. buy. new. gta. now.

That's exactly what I said

TRUEE

its kinda like this

game does something pretty big or revolutionary for its time

attracts the masses for it

keep doing the same thing and riding that same fame

now it becomes the "IN" thing to follow/like the game because of its original fame

there you go

I just wanna turn my brain off bro

lol
always the same response to defend any AAA slop

can fuck whores and commit a ton of crimes and buy a lambo and a yacht and a mansion, while watching a pretty decent

The other GTAs have been doing this for decades. This one is no different

NTA but is he wrong though?

Nice essay.

What was wrong with GTA 4? I remember being part of the crowd who hated GTA 4 as a kid because I didn't want a self serious story, I wanted jetpacks and tanks. Now I'm in my 30s I realise how stupid everyone was, GTA 4 is the exact direction they should have gone in and they should have stayed in. This cringe overt satire of American culture with cartoon characters everywhere isn't entertaining at all.

You can do that better in literally 10000000 other games. Are they really revolutionizing running over gormless NPCs with canned responces every entry to the tune of being worth $100?

If the gameplay is still boring then I don't see what the point is. Plus it's -30 FPS in 2026, even if someone has a PS5 I don't get why they would be excited to play it. 30 FPS feels like dogshit nowadays

You can't afford anything and you have no savings for an emergency. Your life will turn into a nightmare after 40 when your health will go downhill (if it hasn't already).

beamng has better car physics and hyper realistic destruction, much better than gta.

I don't understand why normalfags pretend that GTA 6 is the most important game of all time and will change gaming forever. But it's clear why the GTA series is beloved.
.

Why do Americans always project their dystopian problems onto the rest of the world. Do you just not learn that other countries exist beyond your borders?

always the same response to defend any AAA slop

Because they are literal bots

aging isn't "dystopian", it's a basic fact of biology. You age suddenly after 40, and it gets even faster after 60. NEETs do age a bit better because they aren't tortured by Shlomo 8h a day but still. Also I'm European.

nu-rockstars

lmao he said the thing!

Yes.
You wouldn't have to turn your brain off to enjoy something if that thing was actually good.
Also it's hypocrisy for the average Anon Babble goer who loves calling everything "slop" to go and try to defend the definition of slop using the stereotypical slop defense of "just turn your brain off bro".

ya i fell off gta games a long time ago, im oldfag af and was playing gta 2 while in grade school
theyve not improved or advanced their genre or had any innovation since like gta 4, its just been recycling the same shit now, even rdr 2 while a nice engine the core game was dog shit

That's being used to defend the bad writing that's driving people away from movies because it's annoying and kills any investment that you might have in the story.
It's not even close to the same topic as the gameplay merits of racing down the dock, smashing a parked car into the middle of incoming traffic and causing a ten car pile up, and then going on a chase where you jump 30 stories on a ramp. And then pulling over to explore an area that looks like it might have a hidden package.

You're stupid for making that comparison.

Standard Health issues that result from aging only ruin your life in America where every trip to the doctor bankrupts you. If you're worried about developing crippling terminal illnesses then that's a personal issue.

I'd have more respect for you if you listed some gachashit instead.

BUT I HATE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
I HATE ASIANS AND ASIAN CULTURE

Retards only defend this because of graphics and story. Two non video game qualities and belong to movies instead.

game does something pretty big or revolutionary for its time

except the big or revolutionary thing was way back in October 2001. even with its flaw it was revolutionary but SINCE this release the conversation has been the same.

Vice city is better because small improvement

"Remember the 80's in Miami like the TV show told us?"

San Andreas better because the map is larger

"Remember Compton like the 80's music videos told us?"

GTA 4 was probably the last gasp for the series. it was single player focused game with great expansions and a fun online mode.

GTA 5 is has nothing more than then Rockstar replicating Team Fortress' monetary scheme but in a GTA skin. and yes, as I reminder this game is 12 years old, and this was when TF2 was relevant. ANYONE under the age of 30 should have literally grown out of this series purely due to not getting anything new for over a third of your existence.

I am thinking this kind of this is the male equivalent to the fad/mass psychosis that is prominent in women. or maybe it is much worse as most males are raised by single mothers, so the habits rubbed onto their personality? I just don't get it

that's not isolated to America. You're just ignoring the future as a cope but one day you'll be 40, 50, 60, and your health will be terrible, and you'll need money to fix everything and you'll be unable to because it turns out society isn't a big happy family, you need money for friends, love, health, and basically everything it gives you.

yes and we are being remembered of the 80s in miami with gta 6
6 being the proper way to express the number 6

The driving was horrible and the city wasn't built for fun mayhem. GTA should be a sandbox.

The story was fine. But I basically just rushed to the end of the story and then stopped playing because it wasn't fun to mess around in. There's no reason why they can't tell a good story AND have a fun sandbox city.

Jannies defending this GTA 3 clone would never be not funny.

So you're ARE an American larping as a European. We don't pay exorbitant fees for healthcare, I don't know what else to tell you. I don't know why you're inventing some retarded reality where people stop working at 40 years old due to crippling health issues.

It's not even close to the same topic as the gameplay merits of racing down the dock, smashing a parked car into the middle of incoming traffic and causing a ten car pile up

you could do that in that shit saints row reboot
you can do that in mafia
you can do that in sleeping dogs
You can do that in literally any open world game with cars. It's nothing special, just the samey generic open world gameplay Anon Babble hates but this time it's attached to BRAND so it's suddenly not braindead normalfag "slop"

Anon Babble has lost all rights to call anything slop ever again.

are you seriously comparing it to the saints row reboot? lol
it's been 5 years since the last mafia we got, a remake. it wasn't even very good

sleeping dogs

just play the 13 year old game forever!

what drives this smug contrarian faggotry?

Remember PC version 2028 KEK.
Rockstar hate PC players.

NTA but I'll define
Substance is hacking something to do in the game that has any real impacto on gameplay.
For example, If you try a side Dungeon in an RPG and find an unique item you wouldnt If you hadnt explored, your decision had a real impact.
Nothing like that in RDR2. Still, there os plenty of interesting things to do in the game, like hunt, which is a nice activity, so I dont completely agree with the original reply.
On the other hand, GTA really has nothing to do. The sole gameplay of GTA is doing the most boring sloppy missions and driving around in a open world with zero relevant things to do.
It truly is a game for retards, the perfect tiktok game, in which instead of endlessly scrolling retarded videos you endlessly drive around an empty city and listen to music while killing civilians or whatever else

You go on 1 rampage in GTA and you've seen enough for a lifetime, running away from the cops is not an interesting challenge and blowing up a million cars is a cheap thrill that lasts about 5 minutes before you start wanting structure.

I don't need that PS2 era GTA experience again, just cause and saints row highlighted what a complete dead end it is. Mafia, sleeping dogs and la noir remain relevant because they realise blowing shit up and crashing cars is not a compelling reason to play a game. if they don't shift in the direction they were heading in with 4 I have absolutely no reason to play another GTA game.

The smugness comes from watching Anon Babble call everything for normalfags "slop" and then happily eat that slop because it's branded GTA.
The absolute irony of some fag in this thread shitting on soulslop to defend gtaslop is delicious. Both are slop!

The contrarianism just comes naturally because I'm not a normalfag.

lil unc public healthcare sucks and you don't get to choose and they'll assign you some jeet "doctor" that'll mess up your health even more. You'd know that if you were European. Private healthcare is always superior and you need money for that.

Soulsslop is always lower effort than gta clones. Idk why this board shills them to no end.

FPBP

trailer already has 64 million views in less than 24 hours

There will never be a franchise bigger than GTA. There will never be ANYTHING in gaming that normies care about more than GTA. The entire industry is lucky that it's not releasing this holiday season to kill holiday sales of everything gaming related that's not GTA.

Moving the goalposts now I see. So your point is now, your life will be miserable because hypothetical health issues after 40 with bankrupt you because a hypothetical Indian will kill you with hypothetical malpractice unless you go bankrupt paying for private healthcare? Compelling argument I must say.

well then hypocritical smug soulslop haters that defend GTA can get fucked on that we can agree.

That's not goalpost moving. You tried to sound smart but you're an uneducated neet and you failed. Try again.

Soulsslop is always lower effort than gta clones

lmao are you serious
the shittiest rollslop will at least have a bunch of different bosses and different enemies and even the "press x to dodge roll" gameplay is more effort than generic third person shooter.

Unless by effort you mean "costs more money to make" which doesn't have anything with the quality of the game does it? Are you really just praising GTA because it has good graphics?

And the normies keep falling for their tricks just because they have le hole between their legs

Soulsslop deserves all the hate they get for being low effort and lazy clones of each other. GTA sloppers are a little better since they have more going for them but still fall for the same game since GTA3.

GTA has more to do than just kill next boss and nothing else in a dead empty world ad nauseam.

do you know how kino it is for the biggest colossus in gaming to make autistically detailed games in a genre specifically catered to my interests.
One of the biggest ventures in capitalist entertainment history, works for me. Feels good mayne

I hope the same happens for your game of choice someday too anon.

All I need is a good story and cast, and RDR2 showed me they can still deliver even if a bit of its bloated. RDR2 is also by far the best open world game in terms of side content/stranger missions from all their games.

I agree that I can't be satisfied with basic open world cop chases and killing peds and causing car explosions like 12 year old me. Except they can replace that with story, atmosphere and general level of production value across the board that can lift an experience.
I fully expect just basic TPS shooting and cover system, with "weighty" clunky movement just like GTA5 and RDR2

Stop larping as a European, it's embarrassing. I never once said anything to try and sound smart Im calling you a retard because you sound like a 20 year old American pretending to be a 60 year old European giving people advice. If you're worried about Indians stop living in your Anglo shithole.

like what? generic minigames? generic driving?
None of it takes any effort to either make or play trough. It's like saying ubisoft shit has "effort" because it has ton of meaningless side activities like climbing towers or "hacking".

I'll take the worst GTA clone over the best rollslop has to offer. I don't want to slog through a lifeless world and kill monsters. I could do that in a million other games but with actual stories and gameplay.

Red dead is spearheaded by their American studios, mainline GTA is the houser(s) in Scotland. What one series does isn't really indicative of what the other is capable of. From that recent trailer the characters and story in GTA 6 are just as retarded as 5. Unless it turns out their driving model is racing sim tier complex I'll have absolutely no reason to play the game.

more interaction than kill next big thing with dodge/roll is le BAD

Imagine being this retarded.

You're literally trying to make the point that your health won't worsen after 40 and 60. You're uneducated and naive beyond belief. And no, mentioning informal fallacies that don't even apply doesn't make you smart. You're a failure.

actual stories

plenty of generic rollslop has bland stories just like gta clones

and gameplay.

why lie?
gta clones don't have any "actual gameplay" when compared to generic souls clones. Generic 3rd person shooting is literally less effort than "press x to iframe" through actual attacks.

Even the fags defending it admit they just want to "turn their brain off". That doesn't speak to having "actual gameplay"

gameplay is better than not gameplay

yeah it is.
It's one thing if you were defending some series known for great storytelling, where you can go "immersion and story > gameplay". You could get away with saying that about RDR, but fucking GTA? lol

Rollslop has no story nor is the gameplay that much fun than a sandbox. Disingenuous post.

No, you're trying to make the point that your life will collapse once you hit 40 because you won't be able to work anymore and you won't be able to afford healthcare. we don't all come from morbidly obese American households where everyone is disabled. Maybe you should go outside and see the vast majority of people continue working till retirement.

>No, you're trying to make the point that your life will collapse once you hit 40

The main writers of GTA5, are the same main writers of RDR2. The only huge loss is Sam Houser and Leslie but that Mind Eye game looks so shit the latter can be discredited.

Clio haet league

What I don't get are the hordes of people ready to die defending a game they haven't played yet. I know this happens every time but GTA VI fans are ISIS-tier fanatics at this point.

le hole is a 3d printer for new wageslaves
it's kind of a big deal

i dont understand it

Yeah, because you don't play GTA or any games of that matter.

niggers and race mixing the game

Rockstar…

Rollslop has no story

Most of them don't actually do the "tell the story trough items" shit dark souls does and just have a normal story with cutscenes. See nioh for example.

or is the gameplay that much fun

fun

you're the one that used the term "actual gameplay", fag. Saying that generic third person shooter is "actual gameplay" but generic 3rd person rolling isn't is the "actual" disingenuous post.
They're both generic slop sandpapared out of any interesting features to feed normalfags, and the fact that you defend one but shit on the other just makes you a hypocrite.

Because they're insecure, immature and gay. They want the shit they like to be spammed because it makes dopamine go off and think they're special. Edge Lord behavior.

thanks it worked

Bros crying over a video game

Sorry, he meant Rockstar of David.

Them delaying has killed all interest for me. Do not even care to watch the trailer. GTAV story was ass. Fuck rockstar. It had nothing to do with the game development, they are just greedy faggots.

nope, you're still mad. Try again

basic shooter gameplay

rockstar's shooter gameplay is much more advanced than others because of the level of physics simulations going in it.

When I say rollslop I think of Fromslop which isn't Team Ninja. Fromslop would always be inferior to GTA or anything Rockstar puts to show. Item descriptions are the worst way to deliver backstory in any game I agree. Cutscenes are the only way to get them right and add any impact and emotion on the player.

anon... that post is defending gta...

at least it was real in your mind

I know, I’m talking about you crying over a video game that encourages race mixing

didn't red dead 2 have most interiors accessible by the player?

nothing is wrong with racemixing, chud

I am… r3eddit…..

nope, try again

it's turd worlders coping about getting left behind in the graphical front, there's probably still a few who are unironically seething VI isn't coming to ps3.

“Chud”

Mutt Subhuman lmao even

The OP? Yeah, it's very childish behavior. But as you will notice, everyone of them bitching is dweebs that think games can only be "good" if you have a fantasy, RPG and a gay magic setting. Beyond generic shit. Rockstar is and has been doing their own thing since they first established themselves. Success and this level of social capital came their way because they did their own thing and didn't follow trends or try to appease virgin RPG fans. These fags are simply mad that some dev and game they like doesn't get the same treatment attention. It's called envy.

I am not reading this lol

In the US, 39% of men and 41% of women are obese

41 percent of women are obese

No wonder they’re so fucking dumb

trvthnvke

the wheel turns

Yes, that's why the retarded American larping as a European was so concerned with disability once you hit 40, because his entire nation is engaged in mass poisoning and then hyper expensive medical treatment.

Race mixing is a sin, hence why they all look ugly.
It’s like not having kids when you are gone
It’s like thinking being gay is right when they get aids
It’s like eating other humans with cow disease
It’s like having sex with a family member

All is within the laws of this universe and race mixing is

Lmao even really anon?

You know, better games.

If you're 10 maybe

write another essay

everyone of them bitching is dweebs that think games can only be "good" if you have a fantasy, RPG and a gay magic setting

Point to a single post saying this

Even if I went to thousand hells or was punished forever. Theres not a single version of me in this universe or any other that thinks race mixing in any form is justified.

dont worry, no one will be wanting to mix with you.

Thank God. Whites only. Sorry you get the brown shit skin

it's not necessary anymore when we've already devolved into pettily fighting over the last word

The people that cry about racemixing are usually the same ones that want Asian wives kek

Rockstar stopped doing their own thing after GTA 4. GTA 5 is a lame apology letter to people who whined about 4, they are now controlled by their audience who are, because of their size the dumbest, lowest common denominator consumers on the planet.

bros actually bragging about having kids with another race

Are deadass rn? (Zoomer flower)

informal fallacy obsessed redditor is committing ad hominem (an informal fallacy) himself

still seething

Why would I do that? I’m not you. I have freewill. I don’t fall for propaganda of the current world system

no but i mean why did lil unc say that :prayer: :rose: :skull:

what does free will got to do with propaganda lil unc

florida is just niggers and race mixing now with spics

Truly a paradise

it's a paradise if you wear a condom
don't make those latrina mexcrements queef out a mixed race sexcrement (a portmanteau of sex and excrement)

Apparently in a different thread if you look at Florida cameras rn they all look the niggers in the trailers. Can’t believe rockstar

has been doing it for actually 800 years

complaining about it now

White boys never have been able to perform dick discipline.
Thats why there are piles of half breeds (or entire communities of them) in every place you have ever been.
And then have the nerve to talk about white bitches not wanting your community cock for 'white babies'.

>every map is an island in the middle of an ocean for some reason (?) despite being based in the US

That's just usual open world shit. You want a way to prevent the player from leaving the game world, least intrusive way is a big ass ocean.

You can argue the devs shouldn't be so lazy and come up with something more interest/original, but there is a reason for it.

So you ignored all the white people in the two trailers we've seen?

americans

white

daddy chill

Those are the white Cubans Castro kicked out of Cuba when he took over for being the last remnants of the Spaniard overseers, anon.
Why are you so goddamned ignorant?

You could instantly make GTA a 10/10 amazing game if you just improved the driving model. Gran turismo is a normie IP, just make the cars handle like an actual car and you instantly have the most compelling racing game ever made.

Rockstar always tried to get people to double dip but is that even possible anymore? If someone buys the game physical/digital then it should work on next console as well?

When he opens the cash register the coins slide about in it affected by physics.

You mean in the cutscene.

jiggle physics on the right places.

Only on the ass. Even acknowledging that breasts jiggle is considered problematic.

,anon

only trannies talk like that. Rewrite that crap if you want me to respond to that, and I know you do, because you're an attention starved beta male

I dont get it either. Its not like were back in the 2000s when a game being open world was impressive by itself.
Having a modern day setting open world with third person shooting is just about the most generic and bland vidya i can think of.

Right? I want them to make a cyberpunk or sci-fi crime simulator instead of modern day

It's a summer blockbuster, it's not complicated.

You don't understand it either. Or else you would have actually explained it

People get bored of those as well.

Marvel movies still do gangbusters. And this blockbuster last had a release during the Obama administration, time has passed

No, faggot, stop being dumb.

It's the new GTA game. GTA has always been good. Rockstar doesn't make bad games.

But can we all get on the same page about details like the body hair reflecting light and the bubbles rising in the beer bottles being compeltely superfluous and pointless and that if they were removed and the resources wasted on them were put to use on, say, fully destructible environments, we'd have a better game?

People have been shitting on both GTA V and RDR 2 for some while now.

we haven't really seen gameplay yet
he jump from IV to V was significant but VI looks a lot more clamped down and realistic/gritty like IV from the leaks, more reactivity like shielding your face with the gun and a fluid cover system

Since gta 6 bait threads seem to get hundreds of yous

Whats the go to for bait threads these days

"People"
The same people that complain about Fortnite and Call of Duty?

And yet both of those games sold incredibly well and are criticaly acclaimed. Curious.

I was about to make the same post. Yeah I agree. I don't give a fuck about shrinking horse nuts, beer bubbles and armpit hair reflections. I don't want a game like RDR2 where the environment is static as fuck and dynamite doesn't do shit. I want everything to be destroyable. Gore too. I'm a gorecuck

Oh wow third worlders love it

Fully destructible environments

I hate this meme, it's never actually done well and turns your game into a novelty like just cause or red faction

Do you actually think that people in Eritrea and Somaliland are making this game as popular and successful as it is?

I keep seeing only non-english languages so yeah, they're the reason why gta is huge

It's the most high effort open world development ever with utter soul pouring out of every detail kys.

Aw, did babby get filtered?

REEEEEEEE

You mean Anon Babble contrarians.
This.
Destructible environments does not make for a good game, just a memey one.

Yeah, lots of buildings were enterable in rdr2,but given its nature, they are relatively few compared to the amount needed for a City
