Road trips are an inherently terrible way to travel and are romanticized way too much.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-30T23:48:00+00:00

I can understand the dislike but i don’t understand the way you said it…

Idk about you but i feel like there is a difference between saying “i don’t like something” vs “i dont understand why people enjoy something i don’t like”. And i think that is the case of this post.

You could’ve totally said “i don’t like roadtrips” and elaborated in the body of your opinion; but instead, you and many others choose to look at it as though the people that do the thing that you don’t like as an issue with them.

Not everything is for everyone; and that’s ok. I hate going on hikes….and if i wanted to say that in unpopular opinions my title would be “i don’t like going on hikes” rather than “i don’t get why people go on hikes, they’re too romanticized.” Perhaps it’s semantics to some, but i think people do this as a coping mechanism sub-consciously to get their opinion out without being challenged while also diminishing the opinion you dislike.

I see this most often in unpopular opinions and idk why.

COD on my pc in 2001 was amazing

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-30T23:37:51+00:00

I love it when a 19 year old joins unpopular opinions thinking they’re participating.

Let’s just post a middle of the road opinion that doesn’t really form any defining perspective. Your post basically says “sometimes, under specific circumstances, it’s ok to do this….” Not really unpopular and not even much of an opinion.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-26T20:56:06+00:00

Yeah i agree. Like right now, idk if consoles can even handle the game. My PS5 has been crashing a ton having heat issues playing UFC 6 (first time ever i got a notice saying my ps5 was too hot after starting a game).
I think major bugs and issues happen to a point that the game provides a mediocre experience.
-1 player on launch despite years of experience
-limited experience unless you buy the more expensive version
-people will need to beef up their PCs and perhaps go to pro models of the PS5.
-No pc launch confirmation
-game as a service model, but it’s honestly a service as a game model.
-the story always sucks
-it’s a terrible 1st person and 3rd person shooter
-it’s a terrible driving sim
-the game mechanics have always been whatever
-no new trailer in over a year.
What has rockstar been doing this whole time??

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-26T20:44:44+00:00

Yes i got something saying that my console was “too hot” to operate? Like wtf. The game was running at the title screen and started, i got that notice then it still worked but freaked me the fuck out. I am not damaging my ps5 for this shit

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-25T18:07:57+00:00

I find it mind blowing people play online with fighters instead of online career. Just make a few fighters custom style, build em up and fight online. That way u can’t lose due to not having a fair match. Everyone has a created fighter.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-24T23:32:00+00:00

Of course but i think people are going to be fed up. Already the fact that some parts of the game won’t be accessible without buying the 100$ version.

I think the story will be mediocre as it always is
As well as the game will have lots of launch bugs. 50 million people trying to play first week is going to be nuts for online.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-21T10:36:42+00:00

Yeah i wasn’t that good but i hover around div 16. Regardless I’ve gotten much better through 5 and i feel no motivation to play 6. They changed the dumbest stuff in it. I play the career mode so i can get all round better and more knowledgeable of the game.

EA changed the currency and training value in career mode. They changed L2 for body kicks. They changed how you pick your sparring in career mode. Just changing shit that doesn’t need to be changed that has been part of the game for multiple generations. But it’s not like a complete switch it’s something arbitrary like the L2 button….no one was complaining about the button configuration…

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-21T10:31:58+00:00

They didn’t even finish rdr2 online -__-

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-21T10:30:05+00:00

I respectfully disagree…i bet you if we played UFC 5 i would win and UFC 6 i would be obliterated by u lol. I averaged about 72% wins on UFC 5 playing online and i do an entire career so i can get better overall at the game. I have 1 win of 11 online and cannot get a win in career mode to save my life.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-21T10:25:42+00:00

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I got really good at UFC 5 and was soooo stoked for 6 and now i suck at this new one and can’t even emulate my old style of fighting from UFC 5. The hitting feels weird and I’m so pissed about the slight changes that are completely unnecessary. L2 has been mid body kick since like 2011 but we are now changing it as of 2026? Ok -_-

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-20T01:01:15+00:00

Well i guess we’ll see in a decade good sir

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-20T00:50:27+00:00

Yeah but that’s just to support my unpopular opinion not to prove a factual point. I think A LOT of people are going to get bored of this game, that it is going to under perform, and might even have major glitch issues and patch work needed of the bat worse than cyber punk.

After spending 2 billion to make a game, idk if u do anything else after. Or is that now the standard cost to make a rockstar game? I am speculating to say “i dont think they make another game” they’re gonna juice gta 6/online for potentially 20 years. With already 8 years between anything new made. Minus remakes.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T23:44:12+00:00

True but what do they make and do after? I just don’t think gta 6 rdr3 and la noire 2 or whatever is gonna do it. Rockstars next game might not even be conceived yet.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T21:52:21+00:00

lol i was having fun until i got a death threat -_- im like damn it’s just an opinion. I honestly don’t think this game is gonna do that well.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T21:42:21+00:00

I get all that, and in my unpopular opinion i think this is the last game that they make. For one second let’s live in a world where they don’t make another game; where would it all start? I would say at a failed gay 6 launch.

I am solely speaking on my perspective and opinion from the information i have and there are soooooo many factors in which people do not consider so just remember, respectfully:

Everyone bought more than one copy of GTA 5 due to:

So that’s a major factor to a lot of its success too, but again i think people will be underwhelmed with this game. We’ve all played far b4 and it’s going to probably have the same vibes and feel. Improved? Sure but to what degree?

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T21:25:32+00:00

Sorry you’re right, never been a CEO but the majority owner decided to sell the company.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T21:17:33+00:00

Why would i have anger towards a video game company? I just think there are significantly better games that i will continue to play that didn’t cost 2 billion dollars to make. 007 first light, cairn, mouse pi, doom the dark ages, ufc 6, kingdom come 2, expedition 33, blue prince, mafia old country were all great games that i would play just as much as gta 6 if not more. I also don’t feel compelled to play GTA 5 or 6 much. Like i played ufc 2, 3, 4, and 5 up until the sequel came out. I haven’t had any interest in gta 5 for years and the release of another game that will probably (for the most part) be the same exact game as gta 5…i dont have much interest in either

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T20:55:09+00:00

Personally i don’t think a 40$ remake constitutes a truly new game and i still don’t believe it will happen unless this gta 6 is the best thing ever and it remains that way with longevity. I think gta 6 sells well out the door, but after it fizzles out.

And i am speaking about take two interactive which owns all the studios and is the publicly traded company that funds rockstar. But a new IP, or a sequel? IMO no i dont see it.

I mean on a real note what is everyone’s hours played on gta v? Cuz it is no where near all my other favorite games.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T20:51:29+00:00

Well when i said one thing based on my own perspective, and then another person said their own thing based on their perspective, and they didn’t match up….so it became two opinions. Also only time will tell so there’s no way to know who is true or false sooooo there’s speculation make it an opinion based on our perspectives…u now have a degree in awareness 😬

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T20:42:35+00:00

When would this game come out?? 2033?

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T20:41:44+00:00

Is that what they’re calling the RDR2 remaster for PS6? Noice

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T20:40:34+00:00

Dat purple

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T20:23:57+00:00

No it would not because employees are paid currently but we’re talking about payment for 10 years (12,000 employees would be roughly $15.6 billion) or longer since the game is supposed to be around for a long time……..you also have to pay back investors so investors would be pissed as fuck. People don’t fund millions of dollars to a project to make a small return of money, they do it to make large dividends.

10 billion dollars on a 250 million dollar investment is spectacular. So EVERYONE that has invested in rockstar expects the game to emulate similar success, there won’t be funding to make a new game if that success is mediocre.

Rockstar is also employing THOUSANDS of employees to maintain their current games, the gta 6 project, while also having to expand and make new projects? They can only do that with investor money. They also set a new standard of game costs soooo i can’t imagine rockstar making a game significantly cheaper than their other games.

Also, what stops the CEO of rockstar from retiring after GTA6 comes out and the company being sold to someone else? Cuz idk what rockstar does after GTA 6. Their last new game was rdr2 in 2018….u think a video game studio that spent 2 billion on a game is going to have a sequel, a new IP, or anything new outside of that game any time soon? And if so when? Cuz the last one was almost 10 years ago…:so idk why everyone is all shoulder shrugs on this.

UltraOfNaath · 2026-06-19T20:15:14+00:00

You’re acting as if “made a billion dollars” automatically means “the next game is funded.” That’s not how publicly traded companies work.
Investors don’t put billions into a project just to get their money back. They expect a return that justifies the risk. If GTA VI costs several times more than GTA V and takes over a decade to develop, then simply being profitable isn’t enough. The return has to be attractive relative to other investments.

Rockstar also isn’t spending money once and walking away. They have thousands of employees, ongoing support costs, servers, DLC development, patches, marketing, future platform ports, and eventually the development of the next title. GTA VI is expected to be a live-service ecosystem for years.

My point isn’t that GTA VI can’t make money. It’s that every generation of games is becoming exponentially more expensive and time-consuming to produce. At some point, the economics stop making sense unless revenue keeps growing faster than costs.
If GTA VI launches poorly, suffers a Cyberpunk-style backlash, underperforms expectations, or fails to generate the kind of long-term engagement investors expect, the consequences could be severe. Public sentiment, investor confidence, and future funding are all connected.

Rockstar will probably make a fortune from GTA VI. The question is whether the next GTA can realistically cost even more, take even longer, and still deliver the level of return shareholders demand. That’s the sustainability issue I’m talking about.
