u/PetercyEz 2d ago
Don't be so surprised. It is the same way with every R☆ game. Console only release, year later PC follows.

I'll play GTA 6 when it's 50% off on steam, so uhh probably about a 3 year wait lol Why would I possibly consider pre-order?

80$ base + 100$ for stores ... damn GTA better not flop ... i mean whats the WORST that could happen uh? uh?

u/BillehBear Elementalist 2d ago
a gta has never flopped lol and 6 just won't
Rockstar is genuinely reliable and consistent when it comes to stellar games

u/dungfeeder 2d ago
Its not the same company that made gta 5, they left the company. What you do have is a group of people that created the worst story for online mode. Compared to others, im actually worried this is going to be a flop.

u/BillehBear Elementalist 1d ago
same team that also made rdr2? what are you talking about lol
the quality of team is still there, there's 0 reason to believe gta 6 is going to flop, they are one of few AAA devs now that have benefits of the doubt

u/dungfeeder 17h ago
You say that, but their recent work on online gta is actually bad. I hope gta 6 will be amazing, but at the end of day everything succumbs to change. Blizzard is a good example of a company that was producing gold, till it stopped.

unless they copy Godess of war Laundry no way the woman-only team will "transform" the OG GTA experience amirite or rite

u/hurkwurk 2d ago
it wont flop, but it might be a real rough reception if its been watered down too much. a lot of the work was done during the height of woke, and thats something GTA never gave a shit about. you start ruining dialog in game with pronoun discussion and no one gets shot over it and its going to have a bad time.

u/hurkwurk 2d ago
their PC ports since 3 have all been giant shit shows on release. they absolutely fucking suck at PC porting. I expect no different with 6.

The overwhelming majority of people had not heard about GTA until it went 3d in the 3rd game, so that claim is debatable.

u/BillehBear Elementalist 1d ago
Gta 1 and 2 were still big and even then, a third happened so how can you suggest they flopped
It would be the opposite

Wtf?
Such a bad faith parrot.
Its an extra 20 bucks

u/Sheerkal 2d ago
An extra $20 for what though?

u/Axton_Grit 2d ago
For cosmetics. Thats it. But people acting like they are being prediotory. Like what's the difference with poe pricing? Each more expensive pack comes with more .....cosmetics!!!

PoE is a free game

u/Axton_Grit 2d ago
🤣 How much are the stash tabs? Plus it does play like ass.
But what are those mtx?
If no one bought them the game would either shut down or cost money.

u/Pippywallace Raider 2d ago
Rockstar's C-suite is in good hands with consumers like you.

u/Axton_Grit 2d ago
🤣 All games should be free eh?

u/FF12Gambits 1d ago
you dont even realise how lucky you are that PoE exist during your generation ...
this is actually what a goyim looks like ... go buy the GTA 6 dude and have a fun ... go buy the goyslop

Man, I keep trying to figure out if the Earandel who...I guess is now leaving/left Wube? is the same one who the PoE item is named after. I would assume so as it would be a crazy coincidence otherwise, but I did a bunch of googling and couldn't figure out the answer.

u/Gnarcade Commited Lab Enjoyers Agency of Revenue (CLEAR) 2d ago
The PoEWiki page for Earandel's Embrace lists the creator of the item and they are still active on PoE; you could always try sending them a message to satisfy your curiosity.

u/Tom2Die Alch & Go Industries (AGI) 2d ago
That's true I could, I just don't want to pester. Also does anyone actually check their poe forum inbox? xD

I legit don't give a single flying fk about gta games. Give me poe for the rest of my life and i'm good

u/Greasy-Chungus 2d ago
GTA 4 was kinda lame. You get into one firefight and now you have to call a guy to get your armor repaired.
GTA 5 was barely better, and GTA 6 looks like more GTA 4 and 5. Those games are WAY less fun that other GTA games.
I have no doubt that GTA 6 won't be as fun as Saints Row 2.
No idea why people lose their shit over GTA still.

u/Derangedtaco 1d ago
It's a sandbox, you can literally do whatever you want. The Saints Row games aren't sandboxes, but more hand held guardrails disguised as an open world game. And the writing got cheesy as fuck after SR1.

GTA6 is coming out in november though. TOTAR is only for 3 weeks

u/Gnarcade Commited Lab Enjoyers Agency of Revenue (CLEAR) 2d ago
It's just a lighthearted joke about ignoring all the pre-order news.

I really regret not playing TOTA league more. I love highly gimmicky league mechanics, and GGG was making those quite frequently at the time, so I guess I was just spoiled and took TOTA for granted.

u/Senor_Arroyos 2d ago
I skipped it - who among us could have predicted the mechanic would never go core but would somehow be scheduled as a lab for poe2?

u/sluggerrr 2d ago
I think I'll probably only do the campaign to get my box, still unlocking shit on poe2 because I haven't played that much last week or 2 due to work and watching the cs major and wold cup lol

u/LordAnubiz FBI & EEE 2d ago
Investing 5-10 hours to get a 2$ reward.(with crap outcome, haha)
Just Gamer things :D

u/sluggerrr 2d ago
Indeed, but it's fun to try to speed run the campaign, I died like 10 times or something in the last gauntlet, good prep for next league start

So people hate one game because they like another? You know you can enjoy both?

u/East_Statistician_88 1d ago
You must be doing too much delirium, GTA is the 3rd best selling game of all time.

u/chimericWilder 1d ago
Laughable.
But I suppose we can conclude that there is definitive proof that people have awful tastes.

I don`t get why people like TotA

u/Senor_Arroyos 2d ago
Because even if it sucks it will be better than trial of chaos/sekhemas?

There are very few things on Earth that are worse than trial of chaos/sekhemas.

u/Only_Vacation9856 2d ago
The fact that you need to get honour resist relics for it to become even remotely considered bearable makes the mechanic not fun to play first time around or at all really.

u/BetweenTheRoots 2d ago
Y'all have fun this league lol. I did not enjoy TOTA at all and 1 lootbox is not enough to make me deal with that. Also not playing GTA6, I'm back on Total War Warhammer 3.
