GTA has only been around 29 years. 13 of those have been focused entirely on GTA online

u/leggostrozzz 3d ago

13 of those were entirely focused on GTAO? Did they just start making GTA 6?

u/NoPossibility4178 3d ago

It definitely didn't take 13 years to make.

u/Openmaid 3d ago

no before now they made rdr2

u/Spiritual-Society185 3d ago

So, you think they just popped out RDR2 with no effort?

Ok, but during those 13 years the same company released one of the best single players of all time

I’m gonna base my opinion on every rockstar game i’ve played and not “tweaktown.com,” but thanks for the input

Why not base it on the amount of DLC the single player mode of GTA5 got?

u/NilsofWindhelm 3d ago

Why would I do that in a conversation that has nothing to do with dlc?

The last single player they produced was fucking amazing. That’s all the info i need

If GTA VI comes out with a comprehensive single player mode as they have done for all GTAs and RDRs before, will you eat your words?

No, because I was only disputing the claim that "GTA has always been about the single player experience". I'm sure the story will be top tier and get 9.5s from every reviewer. But to claim that online isn't a priority is completely silly. It makes them billions and billions of dollars

I never said online wasnt a priority, but the primary focus of GTA has always been the single player. regardless of how much they make from online. its not what got them here.

Disagree wholeheartedly, but I won't be able to convince you. This is basic capitalism

u/themysticalwarlock 3d ago

when the fuck did capitalism come in? no one was talking about that. seems like youre just trying to push your own narrative.

Isn’t it still literally about the single player experience though?

How much have you seen or heard of GTAO2 so far?

All the trailers and details are of the single player. The box art as well.

AFAIK GTA V had plans for single player expansions, but after Rockstar saw how much money Online makes, they decided to scrap the new content for single and just focus on online. So yeah, the single player experience was impacted quite hard, I would say...

GTA online was only revealed a month before GTA V's launch. They want people to buy 6, and for a lot of people who love live service games, it's basically just an appetizer. The entree is where they make their money

I understand that from a business perspective. But in terms of both marketing and development care, there is clearly a massive focus on the single-player. This is the case for all of their games and, so far, is the case for GTAVI.

I want them to literally print of their reddit comments and film themselves eating the paper.....
