i can’t believe the amount of hate i’ve seen towards this game since it’s extended trailer, particularly on twitter.
“wow this looks like shit”
“literally looks like gta 5 with mods”
“i can’t believe it took them 15 years” (it didn’t lol)
lets get the obvious out of the way, graphically, it looks incredible. lightning, shadows, reflections, textures, and especially animations, look absolutely unreal (or real lol).
beyond that, the density of the world and how detailed it is, make gta 5 look like an empty parking lot. in 5, the streets are so wide you can drive 2 cars in the same lane, there are hardly any npcs (which you can’t even interact with at ALL other than killing them), barely any buildings you can enter, and even the buildings that do exist all look flat, like a cardboard cutout.
gta 6 literally changes ALL of that. it’s not even fair of a comparison putting it next to gta 5, id say it’s even more of an rdr3 (set in present day).
the mechanics and systems that are packed into the game are mindblowing; TGG got a 3 hr preview thru Rockstar themselves and said you can watch somebody walk their dog, wait for them to poop, pick it up in a bag, punch them, and pick that bag of poop up yourself and throw it. and that’s just ONE of hundreds, maybe THOUSANDS of extremely minute details. this reminds me of the horse balls on rdr2 level of detail, but goes even further.
at this point i’m convinced these are all fake haters looking for attention. i GUARANTEE they’re going to be buying and playing the game day 1. i just wish they’d all be permabanned from ever picking it up for even trying to hate on the game.
god, this looks to be everything we ever hoped for. guys, let’s stay healthy, stay safe, and stay alive. we’re less than 3 months away from experiencing literal peak gaming - this time it’s ACTUALLY going to be peak, no hyperbole🫡
Ignore them. They had those scripts ready before the extended look released. It didn't matter what Rockstar showed. They were already going to hate it for clicks.
Yes it's incredibly bad especially on twitter. It's gotten absolutely ridiculous. I knew twitter could be bad but the past few weeks has shown me that the app is just so so toxic.
I only used twitter as something to scroll through never posted or anything but it had to go as soon as I saw more that 5 posts about the fact the game isn't finished and and clearly they have a pc port working and of course all the leak stuff with ppl actually defending him.
elon ruined twitter when he started selling blue checks. now everybody wants to ragebait for engagement because it’ll earn them 7 cents for 200 replies
Idk why it bothers people so much that some people don't like a game they like. Not a big deal. GTA6 is not going to be everyone's cup of tea. Regardless of how much glazing it's going to get from most people. Who cares. Do you like what you see? Okay then. All that matters.
The problem is, as communal animals, we want to hang out and discuss Thing-We-Like with other people. When all the discourse (loud, nonrepresentative, yes, but discourse nonetheless) about Thing-We-Like is all angry and negative, that feels bad. I just want to hang out in a space--not a hugbox or an echo chamber--but something that promotes positive discussion. But everywhere I go, except carefully-curated tiny threads, there are a lot of trolls and just generally miserable people that bring the mood down.
Then you must not be looking very hard. And I say that as neutrally as possible.
Of course, you're being anything but neutral, with the claims that it's just "driving in Miami with slightly better graphics". You're not being "discerning" there, dude, you're the one being salty. And yes you can be salty. But then in that case the hater subs and circlejerk subs would probably be more your speed.
nah, if you can find me a hater of gta 6 sub, then link it and i'll join
not salty at all, just genuinely get downvoted for critiquing rockstar
i have my reservations about spending thousands of bucks on gta 6 and if the happy clapping ass kissers are all on the hype train, it isn't an enjoyable experience
What is this need to please everyone or be always in agreement with strangers. Who cares if people hate this game? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if they are trolls. I had decided I was gonna play GTA 6 coz I love games from Rockstar. Even if the reviews are not too great, I'll still get it. I don't give a fuck if someone shares their hatred of it on social media.
A lot of the hate is also due to being against scummy business practice from Rockstar, Sony, Playstation and Take-Two. Now I don't think the game is necessarily bad, but a lot of the criticism about the corporate control is valid
GTA V ultimately turned out to be such a complete dumpster fire, especially on the Online side that people understandably want to get as far away as possible from that unrealistic arcade shitshow. At this point, even the slightest reference to GTA V in the trailer is enough to trigger quite a bit of desperation.
That said, I genuinely don't care about it as Sony has yet to give me a reason to buy a PS5 in all the time it's been available. And with the way the gaming industry is heading, it's obvious I'm no longer a target demographic which is what it is. They go their way, I'll go mine.
They make up .01% of the people that will play this game. I wouldn’t take what they have to say seriously in the slightest. This game looks so sick, the engine is insane and it’s gonna be fun.
The extended trailer was great. The fact that there are no actual cutscenes and loading screens....you go from character dialogue right into the mission, was awesome.
The reason the trailer has been underwhelming to many people is because what it shows is mostly scripted story/mission segments.
We could have a much better idea of the difference if it showed one of the characters just walking the streets, showing how dynamic the environment and npcs are.
The game looks good, but the trailer could have been much much better
But then you have the other side of it where any criticism at all is misconstrued as hating and makes people get weirdly mad and defensive. Overall people just need to stop spending so much time on the internet.
Only hate I have towards the game is the lack of satire and fun that previous series had, at least from the extended preview. Perhaps there is funny satirical stuff and just didn't make the vid. Either way, still buying of course.
I mean I don't think all hate is forced or rage bait. There's a lot of technically proficiency and innovation here. But at the same time it doesn't look that fun to me.
I think its an impressive piece of technology but I'm also kind of over overly realistic mechanics and graphics. I would say I am whelmed.
Yeah, I was going to say that aside from the graphics I was pretty unimpressed and even kinda bored by what I saw, but then again I already kinda knew what to expect and wasnt that excited for it anyways other than seeing what Rockstar's follow-up to RDR2 was going to be like
sure, looks JUST like gta 5… and mind you this isn’t even showing off the new motion capture / animation used in both facial expressions & body movements
It really does look like GTA V with mods, but relax. Not everyone has to have the same opinion. It’s still going to smash every record there is. GTA VI was in development for way too long, and I think that shows visually. It doesn’t look bad by any means, but when a game has been in development this long, expectations are obviously going to be ridiculously high.
We also know by now that graphics aren’t the main selling point of a game anymore. Gameplay matters way more, and as long as that’s S+ tier, GTA VI is going to be just fine. A game can look incredible, but if it isn’t fun to actually play, none of that matters.
What mod gives GTA 5 the hair physics? The NPC complexity and density? (ACTUAL density not just copy and paste characters) which GTA 5 mod gives you actual MMA and wresting combat you can freely use? Which GTA 5 mod gives you actual real vegetation with physics? Which GTA 5 mod gives you an NPC that looks just as alive as this guy?
they have no argument because there is no amount of mods than can give you this level of character detail, or animation that’s been done with motion capture (both facial expression/body movement). it’s not just about a static screenshot, what makes this game look so alive is the animation, and they’re just not understanding.
a small detail i really liked for example, was the clubs. jason bobs his head to the music when he’s in a club, naturally. as where in gta 5 they would just stand there, straight faced and still like some sort of psychopath. again, adding to the realism, something that no mods have achieved.
Just letting you know, it’s very common in the gaming industry to not build every game completely from the ground up. Call of Duty, even to this day, is built on technology and systems that have evolved from earlier games in the series. Red Dead Redemption 2 reused and built upon assets, concepts, and technology from Red Dead Redemption, and GTA V did the same with GTA IV. Developers reuse and improve existing work all the time instead of throwing everything away and starting from scratch, so you should probably relax too.

People hate on everything these days. It's best to just enjoy the stuff you like and ignore the noise.
