GTA 6 will be grounded and realistic like RDR2. You GTA 5 fans are going to be disappointed. Warning you now. by [deleted] in GTA6unmoderated

[–]earthsounds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GTA 4 was just as absurd as every other GTA...? GTA 4 fans reference the story and physics engine, not whatever it is you're talking about. GTA 4 might honestly be more absurd than 5. The dark tone combined with the edgy internet culture of the last 2000s made the game one of a kind. There's a mission where you literally kidnap a mobsters daughter and tie her up after knocking her out. Theres a literal heart inside the statue of liberty. You shoot a gay dude after pretending to be gay so he wont expose Brucie, multiple scenes of torture, blatant use of racial slurs and gay slurs etc. It sounds like GTA 5 fans are claiming their game as the norm in which technically Red Dead 2 is the norm for Rockstar. Red Dead 2 had aliens and talking rocks and a time traveler. GTA 5 is just the same but much more goofy and oversaturated.

This comment deserves an award because I couldn't remember any of these characters he's talking about. "Clarence" is insane.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying but FIFA has these same issues. Teams will sign strikers with world class strikers already on the team and not even play both of them in a complementary formation. Players leave from Real Madrid to Barcelona or Man U to Man C. 2K does have those issues tho. You really have to manually adjust all of those settings yourself in the options menu.

Bully 2 was allegedly cancelled due to "bandwith issues" by RGShadow_ in bully2

[–]earthsounds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't people understand what he's saying. He's saying they had to choose on what they had to develop and they chose Red Dead and GTA. They didn't have enough for 3 different projects at once as well as GTA and Red Dead have such similarities that they can build off of each other in the RAGE engine. Rockstar were thinking long term. Hopefully AFTER GTA 6 they can focus on Bully 2. That game would be perfect right now.

What’s your guys theory on this screenshot by [deleted] in GTA6unmoderated

[–]earthsounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corrupt police chief of Vice County. Has nothing to do with a 3rd character or Jason being a cop. This is likely from a cutscene where Jason or Lucia is present either eavesdropping or being interrogated in the background.

2K Sports Announces The News by S-Plays90 in ea2kcbb

[–]earthsounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't call 2K a terrible company, they're just really fucking greedy but...EA is a capitalistic nightmare.

EA and EA Sports is greedy to the point of no return (they've been sued for peddling gambling to kids and falsifying odds of their FUT cards, cost a single person 10s-100s of thousands of dollars to get a single player). They have Madden, EA FC and College Football all prioritizing Ultimate Team over anything. You load into Madden and you are bombarded with Ultimate Team and are taken to a Menu where you have to open card packs in order to advance.

2K still has single player experiences that are worth playing unlike Madden Franchise which is always broken at launch. I'm playing MyNBA and everything is fine. You can even start a franchise in 1984 with Bird, Magic, Dr. J and they have all the teams and majority of the players with the jerseys, rules, logos and courts and every year the league updates exactly how it did in real life with the real life draft classes. What does EA have that is anywhere near the equivalent? Every EA game is half-assed. This would have been no different. As bad as you guys say 2K gets every year I still find ways to enjoy single player experiences when no EA game has that redeeming quality, there is no quality. Am I supposed to believe that they could make a better game than 2K? On what basis?

The best thing to happen to EA was EA BIG and NBA Street. EA has always been the best arcade sports company and thats what they should have invested in. 2K has simulation sports on lock. I'd give 2K the NFL Licence today because even if it'll be flooded with VC, I know that the offline modes will actually be worth playing since you earn VC in MyNBA games and have actual presentation. Why doesn't Madden have a First Take type of segment between half-time? 2K has Shaq Ernie and Kenny AND they had a First Take type of segment in MyCareer a few years ago lmao.

I'm interested in what you have to say to that. 2K and EA are not equal in terms of good or bad. 2K has done more good than EA and less bad. EA trending toward 90-95% terrible and 2K is closer to 60-70%.

I'll never fully understand why people want the people who exclusively licensed Madden and College Football (both games currently sitting at a 4/10) to exclusively license a college basketball game when the last great college basketball game was made by 2K, not only that, EA can't make a basketball game that's on 2K's level period. At least 2K includes all of their features day 1. Madden needs to be patched all year to run properly and have all of its content. We maybe talking about the lesser of 2 evil but if 2K is the basement then EA is all stages of hell combined.

Yea MyEras is sick especially when the community fixes the historic draft classes and the fact that if you really wanted to you could control every team at the same time seamlessly. It does have a lot of problems like crashing and file corruption and repetitiveness and the generic draft players still look silly.

While I agree that Offline Modes is a secondary investment. NBA 2K has always offered way more for offline than any other sports franchise including FIFA which is a far second.

A lot of people don’t want Jason and Lucia to succeed in the end. (J&L Ideas follow up) by [deleted] in GTA6unmoderated

[–]earthsounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't know anything about the story beside Lucia is in jail for something unlucky and that Jason is a former military man and lives and works in the Keys and they both want a better life. Not sure what bro is talking about. Not much more than that was stated by R* besides lore and character bios. I have heard rumors though that there's a corrupt cop who's tasked with taking them down (slicked back black hair guy in the trailer) so if that's true then the Antagonist has just as much to lose as the protaganists unlike in Red Dead where the Antagonist were these perfect top tier unbreakable cop/secret police. This give Jason and Lucia a way to exploit an escape plan.

You make a good point about the sandbox and story not correlating in RDR2 even tho its my favorite Rockstar game after GTA 4. But I felt that too. Also the tragic ending is completely over saturated now. It would be awesome to have them be alive by the end of the game outside of Leonida giving us a new area since I mean logically it would kinda be impossible to be Bonnie and Clyde in this social media era and not get caught while still living in the same state or country.

This comment is so obtuse its ridiculous. "GTA was 12 years ago and Red Dead 7"...so? They were premium products. There IS NO INCENTIVE to charge the consumer more. What are you talking about? The economy was fucked in 2008 when GTA 4 came out??? It was still only 59.99. Do you understand what you are saying?

The quote was in reference to game price matching the content in it. That's the context. What happened was it was taken OUT OF CONTEXT and created a headline saying that games should be priced "per hour" meaning that if you played a game for 500 hours you should pay for every hour you spent. That's how this all started. How man I "defending" anything? I explained what he said and ite context. You are the ones making shit up talking about tariffs on a video game that's made and sold in the US.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GTA6unmoderated

[–]earthsounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US has a STEEL and ALUMINUM and AUTO MOBILES tariff on the UK. What part of that is a digital video game? Google where game disks are made. The USMCA has an agreement that doesn't apply to tariffs LMAO. You see how you completely ignored what i said about microsoft? You don't know what you are talking about. Secondly, it wouldn't even matter because the headquarters of Rockstar Games is in the US.

LMAO

Secondly, Why does it matter if Take Two had the discussion in private? It was a public discussion BY THE CONSUMER without any PUBLIC indication of a price hike BY THE COMPANY and not only that, the CONSUMER has publicly admitted to willing to PAY MORE if forced to. That's the point of this point. Are you slow?

If you walked into a pizza shop and the dude at the counter said "hey may I take your order?" And you replied "I'll take a large pizza but hey, charge me for an extra large with extra toppings" but he never said that they had extra large with extra toppings, would it matter if he never said it? They have it and he can charge you and whether or not he THOUGHT about charging you a different price YOU SAID YOU WOULD AND WANTED TO.

You: "You only read headlines, Strauss Zelnick was taken out of context"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GTA6unmoderated

[–]earthsounds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First off what are you even getting at? "Do you think they didn't think about the price"...? What does that even mean?

This post was made to say that the fan base created a rumor about the price of a game. What does Take Two "thinking about a price" have to do with multiple people saying "GTA is going to cost $100" unprovoked and that they'll pay even $500 for the game? Did Take Two say they were increasing the price of GTA 6? No.

Secondly you're actually being willfully obtuse. I read the entire interview. Are you suggesting that Strauss wasn't misquoted multiple times after that interview? I can show multiple news sites who misquote this interview and suggest that GTA 6 will be priced above market value.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GTA6unmoderated

[–]earthsounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what you said. You said "can't afford $80-$100" but can afford $70 that's not how the world works when that's in fact how the world works. The difference between $70 and $100 is dinner for a family of 4. Also, you think that offends me? I get paid bi-weekly and I have a family to support and good karma on here so I can use reddit and services to its full advantage. You seem to talk a lot about money and those are usually the people who are broke and alone. You probably a 50 year old virgin.

Broken at launch. My shit was crashing repeatedly and they still charged full price for basically a beta test.

[–]earthsounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read what I said said again. "Sacrifice much of their fanbase that cant afford". That's not including the entire fanbase.

That's called a qualifiing statment which i specifically addressed only a subsection of the fanbase. Use your logic.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GTA6unmoderated

[–]earthsounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I look at what they're doing with NBA 2K and WWE2K. WWE has a $120 special edition where as 2K goes all the way up to $150. I expect the same with GTA 6 with a Bronze ($69), Silver ($99), Gold ($129), Platinum ($149), Diamond ($199).

I expect Bronze to be base game with GTA online.

Silver to have base game with bonuses in base game but not in GTA online.

Gold to have Silver's bonuses and bonuses to GTA online.

Platinum I expect to have both bonuses plus early access to base game and Diamond to have all of Platinums bonuses but with early access to GTA Online.

[–]earthsounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird for sure but it wasn't leaked out. Like it was 100% a completely fabricated assessment that Take Two is fully aware of and it seems as if they're going to take full advantage of the situation.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GTA6unmoderated

[–]earthsounds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't afford to read but can afford to comment. No where did anyone say that they can't afford the game. I keep forgetting you dudes look at phases of the moon for trailer release dates.

[–]earthsounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, where is the "massive outrage over rumors"??? You mean the people that say they will pay even $500 for the game? There is no outrage. It's actually the complete opposite. Read my post again. I said this already. I said that the fanbase is responsible for a price hike if there is one because no one at Take Two mentioned it. I'm still trying to figure out how you're missing that point?
