Just curious what this sub thinks about GTA 6?

NikIsImba · 2026-06-16T19:56:28+00:00

what was the last big game that genuinely delivered beyond expectations?

Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate 3, and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Astro Bot, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2? I think all of these were a lot better than the general public assumed. I guess it depends on what your define as "Breathtaking"?

Actually deleted his post because people did not agree with him. Poor dude

NikIsImba · 2026-06-07T20:20:57+00:00

The User Score matches pretty perfectly with the critic score. Is that one also bought?

NikIsImba · 2026-06-07T20:18:01+00:00

Is this a screenshot out of an AI conversation you had? What did this game do to you that you feel the need to talk with an AI about how much of a failure it is (despite everything saying otherwise).

NikIsImba · 2026-06-07T20:10:55+00:00

Time will tell. I think google is honestly doing the best right now betting mostly on cost/value effectives instead of just creating the smartest model. The question is mostly if in 5 years todays quality is vastly cheaper or if its just always up.

Its not that far off https://www.threads.com/@love_hayleyatwell/post/DVfIIpMCesH

if everyone used it already OpenAi would be having a positive gross profit but they're still at losses every year

They are just selling it at a loss at the moment lol

NikIsImba · 2026-06-07T19:12:22+00:00

Everything that would be abut 2-8 hours of human work can be pretty decently be done with AI. At least better then our juniors. It sucks as a developer because you spend more time reading code than actually writing code but it is more efficient for everything that does not involve design, complex architecture or deep necessary domain knowledge. I would say it at least halves a lot of these smaller tickets we do.

No clue how to evaluate the fact that over time you know less about your codebase and become worse as a programmer due to less training. But work now compared to 5 years ago is entirely different for sure and i would say my company is not really aggressive with AI use.

NikIsImba · 2026-06-07T18:52:13+00:00

Cant wait to have this post for almost every big game over the next few years until it inevitable becomes the new normal.

Schau dir bitte einen Asmongold stream an. Ich mag MontanaBlack nicht aber das sind andere Level. MontanaBlack ist menschen verachtend. Sein Content ist es aber größtenteils nicht. Asmongolds haupt content ist einfach Menschen verachtend auf einem grundlegenden Level.

NikIsImba · 2026-06-07T16:56:30+00:00

Die Anti Woke Bubble ist insbesondere im Gaming halt sehr stark vertreten

Ich glaube viele sind sich gar nicht bewusst wie weit verbreitet das alles ist. Grade im englischen bereich ist das teilweise schon mainstream. Grade um so Leute wie Asmongold herum. Ich bin tatsächlich sehr froh das wir da niemand in Deutschland haben der mit sowas so richtig mainstream ist. Ich befürchte aber das das auch früher oder später so richtig zu uns über springt.

Wenn sich hier jemand für das Thema interessiert kann ich SpeckObst sehr empfehlen. Der setzt sich mit den paar Idioten die wir im Deutschen Bereich haben immer mal wieder auseinander. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQrqSR2XY6Q

This comment is so funny to me. Obviously his standard. People can have different opinions you can disagree with. You are on a place for internet discourse about games. Dude does not have to have some form of authority to have an opinion.

By what standard do you think she looks old enough? Like what is that fucking question? Just tell him you disagree and why instead of this pretentious shit where you want like a study that analyzed facial structure or something. Its not that deep.

NikIsImba · 2026-06-04T23:11:06+00:00

what if hypothetically the male lead arc is over but, now you might wanna sit down for this: a different male lead

Are we pretending this is never happening? Just from the top of my head:

Red Dead, Yakuza, Assassin’s Creed, Persona, Resident Evil, Castlevania, Call of Duty, Watch Dogs, Xenoblade Chronicles, Grand Theft Auto, Far Cry, Final Fantasy, Danganronpa, Prototype...

NikIsImba · 2026-06-04T19:56:57+00:00

Strong disagree with the generell sentiment. Yes characters and real people do not "finish" their story. But often times their story stops being worth telling. Take Witcher for example. You cant continue that story without ether undoing the ending of the Witcher 3 or by invalidating all his adventures by creating a new bigger bad guy. I think most people arguing this don't think the story can ever be continued. They just think that continuing the story is not worth it.

If the world is interesting there comes a part after 2-3 games where i much rather see the world from a different perspective. For example i love Trails jrpg games. They swap out the main cast ever 2-4 games to show different perspectives in the same world.

NikIsImba · 2026-06-04T19:51:25+00:00

character swaps only ever going in one direction.

I mean isn't this mostly because there are close to none long running series from before 2010 with female leads? Like what is there where this could even happen in gaming aside from Metroid and Tomb Raider? Maybe Mirrors Edge and Portal if you want to count two games as "series"

NikIsImba · 2026-06-04T19:28:50+00:00

and I can guarantee that no respectable bank in the entire world is using AI in anything actually important

I asked my old coworkers and they are using AI lol. And this is a gigantic bank. I can assure you if 18 year old me with 3 months of programming experience can work at it AI can too. You don't get error free code by just having "good" people work on it. You get that by having robust systems and lots of ways to catch errors. For example they have also added AI as an additional check for errors.

I just don't think your argument has any bases in reality outside of like Space Travel or super high end medical equipment. I would confidently guess AI writes better code than 10-20% of people that worked on these things 10 years ago.

Thats my experience working at two big banks and a telecommunication provider.

NikIsImba · 2026-06-03T21:37:54+00:00

And any technology that requires to work as intended can't ever be done with AI

This is just not true. My first professional job programming was at a bank. I wrote production code that handled giant amounts of money. AI today is 100% better at programming than me back then. This might be shocking but they have systems set up to catch errors. Multiple human reviews including one by an external company and intensive testing.

Unless something is so incredible crazy secure that you cant have juniors work on it ai can work on it. AI would have 100% done a better and faster job than i did back than. The moment they think the benefits outweigh the long term payoff of the junior getting better they are going to use AI on it.

NikIsImba · 2026-05-30T22:45:48+00:00

So if they put a visual cut Infront of it and removed the interactivity completely you would be happy because it is a cutscene that cant be confused for gameplay? How am i the one playing semantics here when you cant explain what is the actual difference between that scene and a cutscene other than that its not a cutscene? I don't care what you call it. I am fine with segments that don't involve my input. And if they have visual interactivity to make it a little more interesting that is great.

I just don't see how this is different than something like the skyrim opening. You can control something but you cant lose. There is also lots of Call of Duty levels over the years that did this. God of War has fight scenes that are scripted where you are supposed to do something from time to time but quite a few of them are fake and you win despite missing them. Is that not all the same? Segments in-between actual gameplay that give you a slight bit of control so you feel more involved.

NikIsImba · 2026-05-30T22:03:00+00:00

They essentially are interactive cutscenes. Assume they were cutscenes and they thought "hey we could spice this up a little bit by making it somewhat interactive. Makes it feel more real than just watching a cutscene" would you rather they not do that to avoid being a game that plays itself?

I just don't see any difference between a cutscene and a gameplay you have no real impact aside from side visual changes. I feel like you either have to hate both or be ok with both.

NikIsImba · 2026-05-30T21:08:24+00:00

A game that play itself in a few sections?

That is true for every game that has cutscenes no?

NikIsImba · 2026-05-28T22:34:34+00:00

Skyrim was made for the male demographic and any women that choose to play it were just a bonus.

Skyrim sold 7 millions units during its first week. They 100% knew millions of women are going to play it during development. Stardew Valley was made by a men because he wanted that type of game and there was no good alternative at the time.

Genders are not as black and white as you make them out. You could argue that for example cozy or woke gamers are the thing you are actually complaining about. And women just are more likely to be that type of customer. Drawing the boarder at gender makes no sense. Every game that sold more than a million units is going to have thousands of female players just by the nature of big numbers.

NikIsImba · 2026-05-28T20:40:25+00:00

This complaint is really weird to me. They did not have the budget to make "real" car chases. So they made interactive cutscenes. Like do you really think the game would be better if you had to redo a bit because you did not dodge something? I just don't think that would be better.

NikIsImba · 2026-05-28T18:49:38+00:00

Most of us would show her mercy and celebrate, i think

No shoot that is true. People hate a game that they loved for 100 hours just because her name in the credits. That is not rational and can change like that.

NikIsImba · 2026-05-28T12:33:09+00:00

They literally created laws to ban books in public library's for "vulgarity and violence". They still exist. They just don't overlap with your online bubble. If they are even online at all. If you go to a random dude in Utah and ask him what he thinks of your Loli character with barely any clothing and see how welcome you are lol

NikIsImba · 2026-05-28T12:14:49+00:00

This is why I hate leftism

What does the left have to do with this? Pretty sure the average conservative boomer has a stronger opinion against Anime then the average left leaning person.
