    Fuck. Unfortunately looks really good.

    R* feels like prime, 2009 Apple: fucking insufferable but unfortunately make a strong product, if overpriced.

      It looks amazing everything about it is incredible. Except Jason’s voice. It’s so immersion breaking I can’t put my finger on it. It’s not that it just lacks emotion, Arthur’s character in RDR2 lacked emotion most of the time. And he’s a great character

      This is something else entirely. It distracted me during the entire reveal and I found myself getting more annoyed with it as the trailer went. It sounds filtered and muffled like he was talking into a box fan. During recording

      I mean sure they’ve had money and time than God to make it, but boy did it look like they spent it well. The big thing for me is the real time lighting, a lot of lights are drawing shadows and a lot of objects are self-shadowing on each light… it’s crazy!

    I don’t want an extended preview, I just want a PC release. Gotta dodge spoilers for a year or two. That’s not gonna work.

    Kudos to you for posting for the sake of denying them. I won’t watch because I’d rather keep blind; I actually really enjoyed GTAV (once it was on PC and sold for next to nothing lol) and I’ll probably get this several years after release the same way. I’m remarkably good at avoiding spoilers for unreasonable amounts of time (e.g. I found out the cake was a lie a decade after Portal released, lol).

    Also fyi, GTA games are generally good and you can tell the writers and world builders had fun with it despite their shit management. It’s not a bad idea to pirate or buy at a strict discount to at least see the story they created. Plus, I’m an LA native and GTAV is practically a documentary!

    I’m not buying it because Rockstar and Take Two are shitty greedy assholes.

    I wonder how many hardworking people they’re going to plunge into uncertainty by ruthlessly laying them off.

    At least the line will go up

    I would probably buy it (when it’s on sale at a reasonable price!) if it wasn’t for the poor treatment of their employees and alleged attempts at union busting.

      I wouldn’t even say alleged, it was very blatant. An employment tribunal has already ruled against them and the case goes to full trial next month.

    Characters, location, even scenarios seem generic as fuck. Lacking the spicy humor that GTA5 had.

    Seems like the writers have done the classic error of not endearing anyone to the player. I’m not drawn to or interested in finding out anything more about them.

      Didn‘t they fire the main writer for the games up until GTA5 or RDR2 almost a decade ago? The guy then went on to create his own studio and develop some crypto slop that is regarded as the worst game that released that year.

    It looks good but so what, of course it does. Can I go into any house/business? How open world is it truly? Does every shop have unique items and layouts?

    This just looks like an expansion pack for gta5 imo. I dont really understand why this is being hailed as a massive cultural event.

      Because about 150 million people are going to play it in the next couple of years, which we can’t say about any other video game that we know of.

    No physical, no purchase. No exceptions.

    This is the hill I’ll die on.

    Looks great.

    And people upset about how the preview was posted are just looking for additional reasons to be upset with Rockstar.

    Be upset about more important things, like labor issues, crunch, union busting, no physical release, etc.
