But we're still gonna buy GTA VI right?

[–] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Not if it's got kernel-level anticheat.

Maybe he hates himself.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I didn't buy 5, unlike you class traitors

Or 4

Or San Andreas

(I got bored by Vice City it's just not interesting)

Sleeping Dogs was better, fight me GTA simps, you can't, my crime guy knows kung fu.

[–] justlemmyin@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

+1 to Sleeping Dogs being way better than GTA!

[–] RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 0 points 10 months ago

I had fun with vice city. Liked sleeping dogs alot. Gotta replay that when I get my oled monitor.

Yo ho ho.

No.

[–] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Sure we will.....

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 10 months ago

Nah I'll just wait for epic to give it away. Didn't pay for 5 either

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, because I'm not paying $100 CAD for one game. That is insane.

The series peaked with IV anyway.

And none of them are ever gonna be better than Saints Row 2.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Series peaked with GTA2, great game

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

They really hit their stride with the alpha version of the original GTA, after that everything went downhill.

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 0 points 10 months ago

San Andreas was peak. IV was great, but it wasn't better than S.A.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oww, betrayed by one of their own?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago

I wouldn't trust Discord with my privacy for a second. They're almost certainly selling that information.

[–] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

So be it. I need to save more money anyway.

Yo ho, union busters!

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 0 points 10 months ago

Well, I know what I'm not buying anymore.

[–] miguel@fedia.io 0 points 10 months ago

Not that I was planning to buy any more Rockstar games, but this definitely doesn't help.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago

I was absolutely 100% going to buy GTA6 on launch day before hearing this.
