Don’t preorder, complain about the kernel level anti cheat.
Is anybody actually excited for new triple A games? I can’t remember the last time I was. Maybe Space Marine 2? But even then, I was really worried about how they’d jam it full of microtransactions after charging £70 for the base game or some other bullshit.
I find it hard to believe people are genuinely excited in the more mainstream gaming space nowadays; I might be (am) being very very cynical but for a decade or more it’s felt like these “big” games are increasingly anti-consumer.
Also the horrible commonality of game development studios and publisher higher-ups (and regular 9-5 employees) being implicated or found guilty of sex crimes. It’s pretty concerning.
For me, only GTAVI because GTA is just one of the best and most iconic game series of all time. They don’t release a new one very often so when the latest GTA game comes out, it always feels like a new era. I still remember the absolute joy I felt when I got GTAV delivered 3 days before the release date 12 years ago.
Having said all that, Rockstar’s abandonment of V’s singleplayer in favour of milking GTA Online and flogging shark cards left a real bitter taste in my mouth, as well as the reported crunch and poor working conditions for the development team.
Feels like out of all the GTA games, this could be the one where Rockstar really messes it up in some way. But that remains to be seen.
I genuinely could not care less, tbh. There’s not been anything I’ve found really groundbreaking in the genre for a very long time.
No. Pre-orders.
Bruh we’re about to be doing this irl… And not even for our selves but for the people that own us.
