I know it sounds stupid, I wanted to be part of gaming history. It most definitely was a great marketing poly, took near an hour to get through the queue.


I stopped by my local Gamestop to pick one up on my lunch break. "Hmm, yeah, they really haven't been sending Game Informers to this store. I know our other stores should have them."

I swear they are a worthless corporation at this point. It's more of a novalty shop than an actual gaming store. That was the first time I've been in there in at least 5 years.... probably the last time I'll ever go.

Well it's not a cool Magazine, but I have been rolling with a nice background on one of my work monitors.

Makes me happy that they went with an 80's/90's color scheme!

I was looking at the pre-order Ultimate Edition last night and it seems like it actually comes with a ton of content. I've never pre-ordered a game before and not sure I'm going to this time, but it does seems like an inordinate amount of extra content compared to other packages I've looked at in the past.

Yeah, broke my vow to not preorder myself with Dawn of War 4 couple days ago. Couldn't help it. Been devouring early gameplay from gametubers and my hype is through the roof from one of my favorite series in one of my favorite settings.

I'm tempted with GTA 6 but I am a PC player and everything I have is screaming at me to hold. But those extras are making a strong argument...

That's because they actually are that now. Novelty crap overtook gaming revenue this year for them.

GameStop even existing has defied reality for years now. Incredible really.

Their CEO is bizarre and tried/is trying to buy eBay now. Crazy bid he made.

I haven't bought a physical game in at least a decade. I'd have to imagine all these digital only consoles didn't do GameStop any favors.

Just like renting movies, streaming and digital downloading has killed small corporate game shops.

I remember when Halo 2 and Modern Warfare came out and the lines were wrapped around the block at the local gaming store.

Unfortunately those days are long gone and will never return. Its unfortunate, because so many good memories of waiting in line and making new friends.

*sigh*

Regarding realism vs fun. An example:

Quote:
In favor of realism, Rockstar Games has purposefully made the roads more narrow in GTA 6 compared to GTA 5. And it has coupled this by adding increased traffic density. As a result, driving in GTA 6 is described as being both more immersive and challenging in GTA 6. This is all according to Jason Schreier, who recently went hands on with the game.

This is great news for those who prefer realism over anything else. This could be problematic for the raw fun factor of the game, though. One of the best parts of the Grand Theft Auto series is driving around its vast open-world, often at incredibly high speeds. If there is more traffic and the roads don't faciliate this as much, well there is simply going to be less of it. At least this will be the case in Vice City itself. The surronding more rural areas will likely widen and obviously have less traffic getting in your way.


Crux of the matter here. We will find out soon.

Quote:
Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games of all time, and it's obessive with its pursuit of realism. It fits better with the series' slower pace, though. Grand Theft Auto is fast, over-the-top, and loud by comparison. Realism suits its DNA worse. This doesn't mean it won't work, especially because it remains to be seen just how different it will feel in this regard compared to GTA 5.

Yeah, and I bet if you just try to drive around it on shoulder or off-road then you immediately get the police on you because realism.

Going to be a fine line here with this game.

Just so yall know if you don't already, the creative minds who were responsible for RDR2 and the good games before it (GTA V, etc.) are all gone. The team making this game is the team responsible for the more recent GTA V DLC that everyone pretty much unanimously hates.

I have very little faith in them to make this game good out of the box.

Rockstar had all of their studios doing GTA VI as soon as RD2 finished. Whoever they tasked to maintain GTA Online during recent years were probably intern level.

Nothing about the 10+ year old online game should be a measuring stick for VI. Every trailer (and even the leaks) point to this being another generational game.

We'll see

We saw open world driving in the Netflix special. More cars, but I wouldn't say you'd be stuck in traffic. It looked fine

Did a quick google search and read that GTA V widely remembered as one of the last colossal worldwide midnight retail launches, with massive crowds queuing outside stores like GameStop and Best Buy on September 17, 2013, before shifting the industry toward digital dominance.

I think I posted on the this thread earlier, but GTA V was definitely the last midnight launch I remember going to.

It's definitely starting to feel like exactly what they said in the matrix.

Peak was the introduction of high speed internet followed soon by WiFi and 5G where you really felt like you could go anywhere and be connected to everything. Work, entertainment and leisure were at max accessibility.



Unfortunately, in recent years, that same technology has invaded everything. It's overrun our email/text/social media inboxes so severely that we are turning to AI to sort it all for us. What once made everything so much easier has now become frustrating and overwhelming.

The marketing is insane in FL/Miami right now. The surprising part is how they are temporarily transforming food and hotel joints into their in game versions.

They are even marketing in game products on billboards and sides of buildings.

Nice to see the game hasn't lost its sense of humor in this stuff. Ads for 69 club and "This is Dix" type stuff.

Amazing that I see a 200+ GB file size for GTA VI and I get more hyped.

We see the same thing in a COD game and people get very angry!

Thank you kind sir.

TexAgs is my only form of social media. Whenever I want to talk & share my interests with virtual friends, this is where it happens.

I'm also really excited for this game. Not geeking out like I used to 20 years ago, but I'm pretty pumped.

That's flipping amazing. LOL. The collaboration with Soutpark was funny enough, but attacking a guy with a sack of dog poo.

Fun fact... Had a guy servicing the AC at my office yesterday. He saw my desktop wallpaper, which is GTA, and he got all excited and started telling me about how he's already told his boss and his wife that he will be "on vacation" November 19!
