I want it released already. Not because I’m going to be one of the many buying it or who pre-ordered it. But I’m sick of everything revolving around it. The Netflix Drama. Whether Rockstar uses Generative AI or not. The endless debates about the price tag. The activism people practice about digital vs physical that involves GTA 6.
Just tired of it all.
I’m not interested in it, because it was written for a console, Sony, I think, and will be ported to PC by AI (you know it’s true) which means we’ll get the usual port drama, only worse.
Anyway, it’s like GTA5, the only difference is one digit, big deal. It’s like those footy games…
I think they already have a PC version ready. It’s probably the “real” version they developed first. But they’re going to release the PC version later in order to get some sweet money from Sony and Microsoft.
I haven’t heard anything about them using Generative AI, or not as the case may be, so I think you’re just going out of your way to find content to be annoyed by it.
Here’s a thread to discuss at great length the thing I’m sick of seeing discussed.
Somehow I seem to have avoided a lot of talk on GTA 6. No doubt there are countless discussions online and youtube analysis videos etc, but unless you’re actively searching for these I’ve found it pretty easy to avoid?
Am I just good at ignoring stuff? Where are people visiting that they’re getting overwhelmed with GTA content?
I’m sick of it too but if you think the release will quieten the internet down I’ve got some bad news for you. Same thing happened with GTAV.
I’m just waiting so I can watch GrayStillPlays do wall rides while riding on an alligator with the chaos mod running.
Well it’s not a PC release so there won’t be mods for a while.
Too bad Epstein isn’t here to control the narrative with Bannon and make a bunch of ostracized, angry gamers get angry at games journalists and go vote for Trump again ans somehow call GTA6 woke ~~ (though some grifters were trying somehow lol)
Still wild to me that that was actually a thing. I only recently learned Steve Bannon was the CEO of a WoW gold farming and RMT company before he got involved with the “news” and the Trump campaign.
(This video was a decent watch imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpHHSFF_CBY )
Bold of you to assume that the hype isn’t going to continue after launch.
Thanks for contributing to the exact thing you hate lol
I feel just like I’m back on Reddit.
It’s reddit with blackjack and tankies, to paraphrase Bender
I’m not buying GTA6, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground. They’re union busting assholes, and all the money they’ll harvest from GTA6 will simply tell them they can continue being union busting assholes.
I’m not buying GTA6, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.
I’m more like I’m not buying GTA6 for more than 15€ after less than a year of patching, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.
just talk about Funzo instead
if you didn’t want to talk about gta, why make a post talking about gta?
The irony.
any old irony?
Not irony
Iron supplement.
I’ve seen way way way more here on Lemmy bitching about GTA 6 than I have seen actually about it. The complaining about rockstar and GTA 6 is probably 80% of all the rockstar content I see here.
Seriously there has been maybe 3-4 posts about GTA 6 on this community in the last 2 months and every single one of them is full of people whining that they don’t want to hear about it. It’s so overblown.
GTA 6 is one of - if not the - highest budget games ever made. In one of the most popular and successful franchises of all time. It’s the biggest release of the last few years whether they like it or not. Now… You’re telling me we should stop talking about it in gaming communities because Lemmy users want to get back to talking about Linux and whatever 6/10 open source game is doing the rounds?
Sorry for the harshness but these posts and comments are so annoying. If you don’t want to talk about AAA games then why are you in the gaming community?
P.S. I’ve seen posts talking about GTA or any major company (PlayStation, Nintendo, Bethesda, etc) just get huge amounts of downvotes on this platform because “we’re tired of hearing about it”. Why do people do this??? Just move on to the next post.
I wouldn’t be as annoyed by hearing about it if Rockstar were an upstanding company. The union busting though means they should not be given any good PR at minimum, and ideally none.
I don’t care if people want to discuss big games. We shouldn’t accept positive discussion of games that are made by companies who treat their employees poorly. That should be a bare minimum rule people on this platform hold to. I don’t care how excited you are for the game. You don’t get to promote it.
Well then you might as well ban almost every single gaming company from this community. Should this just be a CDPR, Blizzard, and Bethesda forum?
I actually do agree with you. I am tired of people only complaining and brigading on anything GTA. Its so cringey to me, they could simply ignore the content, but instead have to make sure everyone knows they’re on the Lemmy bandwagon. They’re hipsters, plain and simple. They are too cool for the next star wars and biggest game of the decade, and they have to make sure eeeeveryone knows this. I am excited for the game and wish I could engage more with that side.
And posting genuine news about what is going to be one of the biggest gaming events of our lifetimes just gets downvoted here. Come on, people; it’s clearly relevant. You don’t have to upvote it, but then when people downvote anything they personally dislike, you end up with people who only get their gaming news here saying, “I’ve never heard of [one of the biggest games of the year].”
One of the most nonsensical things I see, the whole downvoting things that you don’t like or don’t agree with, even if it’s still being put in a negative light or the person is just curious and asking about it. Happens all over reddit, especially in comments. Obviously if someone’s stating rather than questioning and being bad faith or argumentative then I can understand it but it still happens all the time when they aren’t
Seeing as Lemmy does nothing different than Reddit on a fundamental level, it’s no surprise we see the same problems. We’re just partially shielded from some of them by way of being a smaller community.
It’s that it’s not downvoting at this point. It’s brigading. That’s what I’m really annoyed at. It’s not that people disagree, it’s that everyone dogpiles on because GTA bad must hit downvote to send it to -1000. That ruins it for those who do want to enjoy it and makes it harder to see, and then we can’t have an honest conversation about it until someone posts “hey it’s kind of annoying that it’s being brigaded”
To most people it’s basically just the “fuck you button”; my theory is it gives them a small burst of vindictive joy or something. I made an unpopular opinion post about this a while ago and the reception was basically peak toxicity. Even the mods piled on 😂
This is one of my biggest complaints about
Lennylemmy. And it has given me a new perspective on those around me in nerd spaces. 😔I really feel like Lenny amplifies and concentrates it in a way that makes it more visible at times. And GTA6 is an example.
Lemmy does not consist of nerd spaces though.
It’s a combination of reddit ‘refugees’ who went looking for something better(and got that for a few months) and the absolute trash that made reddit reddit and now comes to lemmy to keep behaving the same way.
And somehow all of them got banned for no reason at all. Or because the mod didn’t like them, a classic that one.
Maybe nerd is too specific. I just mean “online people” I guess. But I personally have a focus on tech, games, video, etc. It’s something I’m increasingly self aware about, after spending the time since 2020 more online. Including in synchronous online spaces.
The spaces I’m talking about felt very different to me 15+ years ago. And the synchronous space I’m talking about felt very different 9 years ago.
Anyway, you’re not wrong. Your framing is still the people I mean. And now I see their type around me in more spaces. And yeah, it’s funny how it’s always a baselsss ban.
He just wants to grow alfalfa to feed to the rabbits.
what is going to be one of the biggest gaming events of our lifetimes
hahaha how do I get on the payroll for Rockstar marketing like you?
I’m not. It’s a statement of fact, and I don’t see the point in pretending it isn’t.
Also sick of hearing about it. Not because I want to play it, but because I don’t care about it, at all.
Congratulations, you added to that kind of noise. For no reason, too.
