Also you have to spend a lot more for good bluetooth ear buds compared to wired. Like, you can get a pair of KZ ZSN Pros for 20 bucks or so. They sound great, have nice material quality (they got metal bits on em!), good quality cable, great sounding mic… you get the idea. To get bluetooth ear buds that sound just as good you’d probably have to spend like 80 bucks? And they’d be made of plastic and not have the mic quality anywhere near the KZs. It’s just so much easier to get good audio quality with a wire.

Remember RPG Maker 2003, when you could just open any game made with it in the editor and change shit, give yourself god items etc.? That was dope.

It will imply my spermia being in them, though

Was it at least on a sandwich?

That is not how that works.

He’s talking about the Creation Kit, the proper mod tools to make more complicated stuff like quest mods

“Search your feelings, you know it to be true”

Saints Row felt like a desperate bid to save an already dying studio. You could actively feel the budget running out as you played the game.

Not like they did themselves any favours with the direction, but I think even if the game was better or sold better, it would’ve prolonged this at best. You can take the “it’s about family” hit to your reputation when you’re Star Wars, not when you’re a niche GTA competitor.

“So I killed an entire city, which caused the dead body clean up cell to overfill and explode dead bodies into the void, which first makes it rain dead bodies and then crashes the game.”

Well, my main gripe with the story is that it’s too short and padded with meaningless sidequests. Anything else you can chalk up to taste, or might be better if it’s expanded upon etc., but the actual amount of main story is too little for both a 60 dollar price tag and for any of the characters and plot points to breathe, regardless of the quality.

If any game dev wants to know how to make a good multiplayer, just do the opposite of Rockstar lmao

From what they’ve shown, Mirage won’t really have that grind, since it’s not an RPG game, nor is it as big as the last three games.

It’s a shame a great customization system (and great map, imo) was wasted on such a technical disaster with a disappointing story. I really just boot the game up to customize, cruise and fuck around for a while.

Double Eleven did the port for RDR, just FYI

It’s inevitably going to be labelled woke because it has a female protagonist, a non-white female protagonist at that!

Also there was some stuff in the leaks about

I don’t think GTA6 is gonna be quite where they play it safe just yet, their brand recognition relies too much on crass satire of America. The Saints Row Reboot also totally flopped financially, so I don’t think anybody is going to take them as inspiration. I think the execs are just smart enough to know why GTA sells.

Dan Houser and Lazlow (the guy responsible for all of the amazing radio ads and talk shows) both only left very recently (relatively speaking) and likely did a big share of writing for the game before that. And Sam Houser is still there, isn’t he?

And 6 is obviously gonna have its own Online. And as somebody who was very active in the GTA Online space until a few months ago, they’re hitting the limit on what they can cram into this decade old game without it just crumbling under its own weight. Like, genuinely, the engine is struggling.

GTA+ subscription required to unlock a bigger wallet and carry more than 1000$

I think the singleplayer, aka the important bit, is going to be good. Leaks looked pretty promising. Probably not going to be as revolutionary as people expect after 10+ years of hype and speculation, but still probably a top tier video game surpassing their previous titles in many aspects. Online is probably going to be biggest shitshow of all time, though. Microtransactions, FOMO, subscriptions, battle passes, the works. Every bad thing about games as a service packed into one, with the additional bonus being that Rockstar can’t program a multiplayer to save their lives, so it’s going to be peer 2 peer, with the shitties netcode and matchmaking possible and absolutely zero protection from hackers. You know, like their last two multiplayers.

That’s lifetime budget, so including all marketing and development after release as well
