Modern Rockstar games aren’t meant to be played...

Modern Rockstar games aren’t meant to be played. They’re made for people to look at tiny elements and make Twitter posts and YouTube videos about how amazing the attention to detail is.

Same can be said about most "open world" and "sandbox" games

It's been like that ever since GTA IV. Gamers in 2005 were real gamers and everyone after is some sort of poser.

Rockstar having an entire team dedicated to animating horse cock and balls shrinking in cold weather but not animated horse pussy tells you exactly who they work for.

This is why I play games.

This will improve the gameplay experience by at least 30%.

THE DETOOLER

I’M GONNA DETOOOOOOOL

Is that real game footage or are those just ad hoc elements of cutscene or promotional material

SAAR DO NOT REDEEM THE DETAILS

Muh graffix was always this way

Who needs gameplay footage? When I saw this guy’s fingers I KNEW I was getting the deluxe edition preordered!

attention to detail is bad because... BECAUSE IT JUST IS OKAY

You can actually see the dog’s fur texture reacting in REAL TIME to the frisbee!!

Pack it up boys, this is the clear GOTY. Rockstar does it again!

It's bad because in the time it took them to make details no one gives a shit about while playing they could've made 5 new GTA games and 3 new Bullys and 2 new RDRs

still no gameplay

Every GTA6 is just graphicfags going crazy over the smallest detail in cutscenes or people simpin' over the new girl

Do people not talk about gameplay anymore or is that only a tendie thing?

the... the horse cock mafia??

Rockstar is a studio that gave so much attention to detail that they forgot to make a game.

*Every GTA6 discussion

I WANT A BUNCH OF GAMES PUMPED OUT

no thanks...

he never played 3, Vice City, San Andreas, Bully, and 4 in the span of just 6 years

Those were the fucking days, zoomers' games take 6 years just to model the shrinking horse anuses you can't even see

True. The actual gameplay is shit.

You can actually see my wife’s boyfriend’s balls clench in real time as he fills up her pussy!!

THESE DETAILS ARE INSANE!!!

I have, I played close to every R* game multiple times. I don't really care about the wait though because I play other games in the mean time

The reason why no one talks about gameplay for GTA 6 is because we all know exactly what the gameplay is gonna be for GTA 6.
The exact same gameplay it was for GTA 5
The exact same gameplay it was for GTA 4
The exact same gameplay it was for GTA 3
At best, you'll have some marginal improvements for the aiming model, so you can shoot more accurately, or some other such under the hood shit, but we all know what the gameplay is going to be. No one is expecting anything different because no one wants anything different.
The series is basically Assassins Creed in terms of innovation, the only reason why most of you faggots doen't realize that is that you only get one of these games every console generation instead of every year like Ubisoft shoves down your throat.

Incredibly low IQ response

modern games

kojima has been doing this shit for 25 years

patience, a notoriously low IQ trait

lol

he would've rather gotten just GTA3 with horse anuses as the only Rockstar game in the 00s than GTA3, VC, SA, Bully, and 4

he thinks it's a virtue

Incredibly low IQ follow up to an incredibly low IQ response

And yes, folks. These liquid physics are being rendered in REAL TIME.

Picture it this way. Imagine if they took less time on any of the other GTA games, they would be lesser games would they not? What makes you think rushing GTA6 would make a better product

If you’re patiently waiting for something that isn’t better than something you wouldn’t have to wait a decade for, then you might be a tad low IQ.

Schedule 1 and repo has rotted people's minds.
Go back to playing miniclip flash slop

Ahh of course I'm glad you have the magic orb to see how all these games would look like and how amazing they would be if they had 2-3 years of development time

imagine not having 12 GB ram in 2025

All their best games had a dev time under two years while the ones that took longer to make were more middling, clearly time and quality aren't correlated here

the person has a boo pfp, what do you expect from a nintendo fan

The magic orb being.. memory of the past informing probable future events? Truly I am a wizard.

Also anyone who types “Ahh of course” unironically deserves to be stoned to death.

Yes I will have to tell you my very smart friend that GTA vice city is significantly less impressive in 2025 than in 2002

more like because the plot and gameplay will only be marginally better than something like San Andreas, if at all, while the game takes 12 years to produce. i dont immediately care if a game takes that long, but if the reason a game takes that long is "attention to detail" then it's a waste of time.

Ahh of course see

I replayed it recently, it's more fun, more memorable, with more style, a better story, and a better soundtrack than IV and V

The only thing V has going for it are >muh graphics and since I'm not a sub-room-temperature IQ troglodyte, that means nothing to me

attention to detail is bad because a game looking like real life doesn't equate to a game being good.
whats the use of a physics engine capable of generating smoke particles out of an exhaust pipe in real time if the gameplay revolves around

talk to guy

he sends you to kill a guy he hates

go back to the first guy

he sends you to the next guy

next guy wants you to kill another guy

repeat 50 times

credits play

What’s your point? Of course it’s less impressive. That doesn’t mean that games should now take 5 times as long to make.

See

WHY ARENT THEY MAKING 5 GAMES IN THE GTA 5 ENGINE PER DECADE??

you dont even like gta 5

Sometimes I wish I were as stupid as this Rockstar fan. It must be bliss.

YouTube is ruining gaming?
Wow, Who knew?

That doesn’t mean that games should now take 5 times as long to make.

Yes it does actually it means exactly that. Smaller projects take less time

Agreed, they should go back to the SA engine and graphics if it means a GTA game every 2-3 years

Less pressure on the games to make all the money as well meaning they could afford to be more creative

WHY ARENT THEY MAKING 5 GAMES IN THE GTA 5 ENGINE PER DECADE

genuinely good and reasonable question

Of course this actually what the fans want. A series lauded for it's world building, attention to detail, and effort should make games that look like PS2 games again

does any of the shit really matter when the main campaign is just a vehicle for gta online?

A series lauded for it's world building, attention to detail, and effort

Huh? It's a game where you run people over and shoot at cops, that's what 99.9999% people play it for

You might be thinking of TES but even those used to be made in 1-2 years

lol, no or it wouldn't be the only crime sandbox franchise left for the past decade

A series lauded for it's world building, attention to detail, and effort

what fucking world are you living in retard?

Except we know nothing about the true scale of the game yet. All of this is conjecture and assumptions that they're sacrificing depth and scope for intricate details.

i just want more jameskii gta videos.

See

This is such a retarded criticism. Basically no AAA games give a single fuck about attention to details anymore, it's all stock UE5 slop with stock assets and bottom of the barrel attention to detail. Crowbcat has been documenting this for years. Now one game comes out that actually has attention to detail again and some zoomer faggot with a "I WANT SHORTER GAMES WITH WORSE GRAPHICS" mentality comes along and says "ERMMMM ACKSHUALLY THATS BAD AND EVERY GAME DOES THAT" when no fucking games do shit like this anymore

this. they should have the exhaust particle guy designing missions instead. every exhaust particle has an opportunity cost of fifty world class missions

This is insane attention to detail.

I don't get it, how does that make the game more fun?

well yeah but people arent going around saying "there are these cool gameplay elements that we have never seen before in a rockstar game" but "look at that stripper's ass you can appreciate all of the cellulitis in there"
i guess i feel like I don't want to get my hopes up for all of the crazy stuff they could "potentially" do and end up with gta 4 again but with a shinier coat of paint.

Underrated post

this has been the case since RDR2

game is boring as fuck

BUT HORSE POOPS IN REAL TIME

i mean. imagine if instead of hiring people to make the game prettier, they hired the devs of schedule 1 and added in all of the gameplay elements of that game in gta.
Wouldn't that be sick?

400 thousand x updoots

the internet is dead

They’re made for people to look at tiny elements

You mean like chuds looking for tiny elements to make ragebait threads about

OMG GUIZ LOOK THIS NPC CHARACTER HAS A TINY RAINBOW FLAG IN THE GAME FILES

yep, the developers really added this detail

yes, these are really 19 years apart

No need to reinvent the wheel. People want the GTA formula but refined. Tighter driving, tighter shooting, better AI, well designed missions with good freedom of choice and fulfilling side content. None of this stuff will be ground breaking. They do that stuff with the visuals

All of this is conjecture and assumptions

BASED ON OBSERVATION
You forgot the last 3 words.
Is it fact or fiction that RDR 2 and GTA5 have extreme hand holding in their missions with minimal freedom?
FACT, right? So, based on observation of factual data we can determine that the depth and scope will be severely lacking.
It's not rocket science, it's just using your eyes.

well designed missions with good freedom of choice

buy gun

mission failed

you bought the wrong gun

loading screen

Nice freedom of choice you have there.

Anon Babble hates immersion because they don't want the game to distract them from their shitposting about the game.

Don't see how this is relevant midwit since I'm explaining something people want and you're talking about something people don't want

You're just jealous.

He’s saying that’s what people want you illiterate faggot.

Another game where muh graphics are flaunted above actual gameplay. Yawn.

tfw going back to Terraria for another playthrough, followed by some romhacks and zelda randomizers

something people don't want

And will be given instead of freedom of choice

Anon Babble:

modern games are bad because they lack interactivity and small details!

also Anon Babble:

modern games are bad because they focus too much on interactivity and small details!

that’s what people want

Just because you want it doesn't mean you'll be given it. You'll get the same hand holding bullshit you got in 5 and RDR2.

Again irrelevant, I don't know how the game will turn out, I'm only describing what most GTA fans should want out of a GTA game. You arguing with nothing

Tell me how little beer bubbles in a bottle are gonna make the gameplay better. Go on, I'll wait.

bro you just described how ppl treat literally every big game now congrats on noticing 10 years late

Enjoy your 1.5tb game bro :D

Basically you find a car you like and drive it around until it breaks.

Tell me how shooting the fish tank in Splinter Cell makes the gameplay better. Go on, I'll wait.

Only valid complaint I will admit

This nigga hasn't heard about Cyberpunk

it doesn't bloat the game to 3 terabytes, for starters.

I wish they paid more attention to the gameplay and mission structure, playing a 36 ton human and doing the car-gunfight-car mission 70 times is not fun

cyberpunk

anon...

Interactivity that doesnt matter

your latina gf growing a bush on her arsehole over time

Big disagree.

Most of them weren’t born yet.

destructible environment

yeah as a kid i thought it would be standart by this point how wrong was i lol

I mean RDR2 came out like 7 years ago and it was just as packed with detail.

If you want someone to blame, blame Globalfoundries for being a dumpster fire. They couldn't deliver on the nodes.

thank you Anon Babble for my daily dose of bait

modern games aren't like that, at all

And here we have a genuine consumer.

interactivity

You don't interact with the world in Rockstar games, that's the problem. You can't destroy a building, burn a tree, play with the physics, etc.
You can only... shoot people and open drawers in RDR2.

play with the physics

I have fucked around with lasso for many many hours in RDR1 and 2

Yes but unironically, since you just know the game is going to be unfun cancer with braindead one track minded cops and NPCs.
Again.

you walk and talk, or drive and talk, apparently now you can ride in the car and talk though i hear
after that you shoot npcs that aren't really a threat unless you run directly into the middle of 50 of them, but if you slightly deviate from mission parameters you instantly game over

There was a sideshow in one of the trailers. Maybe we get a good game again. Not like V where you have a massive V8 that shoots fire out the exhaust but the car has traction control on.

Damn, same. Those Dragon Ball games really spoiled me when I was younger and I thought shit was going to be way better in the future, but instead it's like a few games that actually do it and most of them are cancer riddled with MTX/lootbox shit.

destructible environment

okay but contradicts

entertable houses

you either have buildings that matter or buildings that don't. Red Faction Guerilla worked because what you could destroy was very basic and did not matter same as the Just Cause games. I think R* adding some destruction is cool but full blown building destruction is retarded

npcs having realistic daytime routines and not just walking in circles

Red Dead 2 has this to a degree

physics that go beyond bare gravity (heat, magnetism, density etc)

Red Dead 2 also has this too, the heat gauge in that game is actually well done and you get warmer in doors, near fires, and while on fire as well as rain, how wet you are, altitude and wind effecting your temp gauge. Magnetism and Density i don't know what these mean gameplay wise

sound travelling in realistic way

Red Dead 2 also has this but I'm not sure what this really entails most games have 3d audio.

weapons having real bullets that obey ballistic laws

Rockstar games do not have this, I don't imagine GTA6 will have bullet drop or bullet penetration either
