The Reason For The GTA VI Delay

The real money maker is online. They could ship GTA6 without a story or single player and it'd still make its money back tenfold before the release of GTA7 in 2049

sounds legit. Straight and real.

I've watched features get shelved or frozen just to funnel more resources toward online

I believe it.
GT5 money came from online so its not a surprise they have GT6 to be the same.

Lmao you actually wrote all of that out? What a fucking sad loser

Bullshit online will not launch until after release like gta5 I guarantee it.

I bet the story is finished and without online it would have launched in the fall as originally projected.

blud yapped for an hour just to say that online is why the game got delayed

Will there be a third protagonist? Maybe the Spanish dude?

it took you an hour to read 10 paragraphs?

Live service games all flop, what sells GTA is the single player.

They can always make a DLC campaign with a third one

All dlc will be strictly online only just like V.

You are an idiot if you believe that GTA 5 sold so much because of the single player.

No. Jason is too masculine as is, adding another playable male would serve no purpose except to appease low test brown boys, because there's no way he can outshine the alpha.

I have absolutely zero interest in the online for this game or any game. People who are focused on online games are retarded. Games are better as one and done things you move on from after finishing the story and go do something else with your time.

Still kinda miffed that we never got single player dlc for GTA 5. If rockstar was cool, they give us one final mission before GTA 6 launches next year. They won't though.

This is a LARP. I don't doubt they're working their asses off to have the online playable at launch but it doesn't take a year to do that. If the game is complete minus online it'd be six months at most and you'd see massive layoffs happening as they wound down their teams. They're still fixing shit concurrent with prepping the online for the retarded load of people that's gonna slam their assholes day one.

There’s going to be 2 skus at release

GTA VI with SP only - 69.99

GTA VI Bundle with Online included -99.99

no the real reason is price, they want to wait so they can jack up the price

I hate zoomers so much it's unreal

Was GTAO the worst thing to happen to Rockstar?

Jason is an undercover cop

The real question is who are the retard who enjoy GTA online? All the fun stuff about it is almost completely ruined by the presence of other people with the exception of heists. The loading times for online were some of the worst I've ever seen in a game.

I had more fun in online than the weak single player campaign in 5.

GTAV is one of the games with the highest viewership on Twitch at all times. Like 90% of the streams are just GTA Online all day every day doing roleplay. Most of them have never even played the single player of GTAV.

Your worst thing was not finding some other game to latch on to, parasite.

Lucia is an undercover cop

It could be great, but the sluggishness of their shitty p2p system or whatever junk netcode they had just constantly soured my mood to the point it wasn't worth it to get to the moments of fun.

So it is just the retards and mentally ill.

Why not just release online later? The players will go back up and they can sell a bunch of cards and online content.

You have such an chronic sense of solipsism that you sound like a mental patient.
Asking who enjoys online is like asking who enjoys plays FIFA.
How about the entire 3rd world and most of the first. It's the most profitable game ever released. GTA online is a fucking industry that could fuel a small country.

Most people can only name 4 video games off the top of their head, that's Mario, pokemon, call of duty and grand theft auto. Nothing else exists within the bubble of the ultra normie sphere.

Who plays online in these types of games before they finish playing through all the single player content?

blud is a yapper

A ton of people do.

I figured it was about online. I hope GTA 6 is better, cause I hated the storyline for GTA 5. Played it twice in my life, and never touched it again. Once when it came out, and once again a few years ago to see if I'd like it more. Online gaming has never done anything for me.

If I have an online account and I'm doing nothing in the story, then yes. I go online before I beat the story because nothing is canon online.

I strongly suspect a significant portion of GTA V players haven't touched the single player and even more haven't finished it.

I would be interested to see the numbers behind this.

Like any Bethesda game.

GTA Online exists within the main story's canon, though. You do missions for Trevor and Franklin.
Yes, they brought back the protagonists only to use them as NPC mission givers. I'm not making this up.

Why can’t I just play as lifelong major criminal scumbag with zero redeeming qualities? The boss from SR2 was the best protagonist in any open world crime game for this very reason.

Asking who enjoys online is like asking who enjoys plays FIFA.

I know, the other anon answered it >709190665
Just like FIFA it's retards and the mentally ill.

Rockstar's CEO here.
It's all a lie. We delayed the game because I found out that some faggots decided to secretly make the Latina heroine a transvestite. I've put everyone on overtime and I'm personally checking out the process of reshaping the heroine's genitalia, which has gone from a huge dick (almost the size of mine) to a cute little vagina (I made everyone read loli hentais to know what a pussy should look like).

Jason is an undercover cop. Lucia will meet the third character, a black man called Jordan. Lucia will kill Jason after realizing he put her in jail. Then she will fall in love with Jordan and have black babies.

Lol, you don't know anything about Fifa. It's a highly competitive game and the retards who play it take it very seriously. People play Fifa online for the same reason people play chess online, or go to fighting game competitions.
GTA, on the other hand, is a huge playground for people to roleplay, win imaginary levels, or simply cause chaos between players.

are you guys really playing this corny chick flic love story crap that wasn't even written by the same people from RDR2, let alone the GTA writers? i remember GTA used to be something you played to scare your normie friends and now billions of niggers and normies who started with GTA online are hyped about how "lit GTA 6 finna be"

I played the single player mode until i was switched to franklin, i logged in gta online right after and never touched the solo ever again

people with friends

want the biggest gigalaunch ever

don't launch on the biggest platform with the most visible online presence that everyone streams on.

Nice LARP bro.

All the fun stuff about it is almost completely ruined by the presence of other people with the exception of heists

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dude you clearly played heists once and never touched them again. The amount of niggers whining for 50% payout on a 4 player heist who never did a setup was insane, not to mention the faggots who couldn't do shit when we got in there, not able to hack, not able to drill, not able to sneak, just fuck the mission up die and lose us money then rage quit like a faggot.

i remember GTA used to be something you played to scare your normie friends

no you don't

Gamedev here.
This is fake. Anyone who even remote touched online game dev knows you dont

finish singpleplayer game and then add multipleyer/online

What a fucking most retarded thing I've heard. If a game [of
such scale as GTA] has full-fledged online in mind, it is something you develop from the get go, from day -1 because in order to make it actually work perfectly, whole framework for the game to to be built with online in mind.

c?

yes i do you zoomer fuck. i remember playing GTA 4 and creating my own terrorist attack RPs and scaring my normie high school friends and now i see youtube comments from normie faggot fucks like yourself like "am i the only one who kills ppl in GTA *skull emoji" now it's not edgy or cool anymore it's just been taken over by newfag normals and dumbed down with a gay brown female protagonist to appeal to niggers who can go "uh dah ass mayne!" and help brown teenagers feel represented.

everyone. fucking nobody cares about story mode anymore. rockstar didn't launch gta+ to cater to the audience that has long since left after all story content additions for 5 were cancelled a decade ago. the amount of of money online prints is utterly obscene.

if C was true it can't be 0% because there is a 25% chance to pick C randomly

I think the question is bait. If it's 25% then the 25% answers are incorrect (it would be 50% if true), if it's 50% then the 50% answer is incorrect (it would be 25% if true) and if both of those are incorrect deduction points to C, which it also cannot be (it would be 25% if true)

I'm personally hoping on a custom character that can be used in offline play too, but I doubt that will actually be the case

it is not a bait
Think again

I have absolutely zero interest in the online for this game or any game

True for you and me. But for everyone one of us who doesn't care, there are about 300,000 people who do.

Ghost get off of Anon Babble, gta online for gta 5 was not developed from the get go but this time it was, which is exactly why the delay is happening. It is to make sure all the online systems are working on release, gta online systems and single player systems CAN work independently from each other because thats just how these game development cycles work, but no where in this post did they imply that they werent working on it from the start, just that online was slowing the process because of the shitshow from gta 5.

Isn't this question meant to be a paradox?

gta online for gta 5 was not developed from the get go

Yeah precisely? And you've seen what a shitshow it was and still is.
Which is exactlyl why they would start GTA6 dev with online in mind from the get go. Unless you are implying they are so retarded they will just keep hitting the same rakes forever. Obviously only you are smart enough to make the right call next time

Bethesda became a laughing stock so now larpers pretend they work at Rockstar

Graphics look cool I guess but any info on gameplay? What are they doing differently from the past games?

What do you even do in online, drive around? Do repetitive missions?

I believe it. Rockstar quickly abandoned Red Dead Online for a reason.

Full stop. Not half stop. Not quarter stop. This is complete fucking, one hundred percent... This is full stop, guys. I'm serious this time.

Not that guy, but it's crazy how self conscious of your gaming choices some of you are. Who cares if you eat literal shit? You like fifa and gta. Well good for you.
