    Seems about right. Feels like I haven’t played GTA for a decade.

    Every now and then internet reminds me it’s a thing, though.

    I liked GTA V, but after finishing it I drove around for a few hours and the never touched it again. I’m not really sure why.

    I still go back to Vice City and San Andreas, somehow these worlds are just more fun. But like I said, I’m not sure why…

    The graphics in 5 are great, the sound is great, but something is missing…

      Because once you finished the story there’s really not much sidemission for you to play, and the world suddenly feel very empty without the excellent characters. I quit the same way.

    GTA VI I feel is going to stretch about 4 generations of gaming before ever seeing VII.

    GTA V has started in the PS3/360 era, went through the PS4/One era, is sitting in the PS5/X era and we’re now about 2-3 years away from the next gen of gaming to happen.

    Also it is hard for me to believe we got both GTA IV and GTA V in the same generation.

      There’s possibility that GTA VII will come faster. Rockstar does waves on new engine versions. GTA I + II, engine switch, GTA III, VC, SA, engine switch, GTA IV, GTA V, possibly engine switch?, GTA VI, GTA VII? Or some offspin?

      Problem is, they smelled online money so dunno.

    In two months Skyrim will be 14.

    And don’t get me started on F-Zero.

    Keep in mind that GTA V released in the PS3 - which is now considered a retro console.

      I refuse to entertain the idea of PS3 being retro until at least next year, when it turns 20. Now you might say “okay then, GTA V also came out on Xbox 360, which turns 20 in about 2 months” to which I say… get off my lawn!

      Though it was a completely different game than what we’ve come to know as GTA V after the PC release, in terms of graphics and content. And even then I remember grabbing snacks to watch the loading screen…

        You can do private lobbies but you gotta have friends to have people to play with.

        On the PC front GTA-RP servers are alive and thriving and very safe and stable at this point.

    I think GTA 6 will be an outstanding game, but I also think it will be Rockstar’s greediest release to date. I will make sure to consider everything before I buy it.

      As greedy as GTA V was with its multiplayer, Rockstar has a history of releasing a good single player base game before they start with that, and looking as GTA VI leaked map, I don’t see that changing now. It’ll definitely be nothing more than a single player experience for me though.

      Plus, were might have to wait one or two years to play it on PC, especially on Linux, so there’s a lot of time for considerations…

        I guess I don’t understand. I got V and paid literally nothing past that.

        The experience was great. No one has to buy shark cards or whatever the hell they are.

          The problem with V for me was that they released content for GTA Online for years and completely ignored singleplayer. So many heists, weapons, vehicles, outfits, and game mechanics that would have been awesome to try solo, but were only available with a damn internet connection and in a world with other players. Thankfully mods fixed some of that. But it’s not the same because you mostly have to spawn things in with a cheat menu.

    It’s a fantastic documentary; as an LA native, I recommend playing through the story to better understand our diverse culture of shallow rich folks, inner city gents, and meth-addled drug countrymen.

    In fact, pirate it to truly honor my culture. Lol

    12 years ago? But I haven’t finished GTA IV yet. Time goes so fast :(

    Probably I will play it only when I retire…

    I’m still salty that Rockstar seemingly broke GTA V for Linux on purpose. I poured hours into Online and loved the Community I found, so it’s a real shame they shut out Linux and Steam Deck users for good by adding BattleEye without Linux support. I was pretty much done with the game by then, but that move solidified my personal boycott of Rockstar.

      Online ist dead. 5 mins in and I’m getting headshots from a guy across the map with a K:D of 3000:1. Everything online costs real money or endless grind. Waiting for 15 mins in a lobby, only that the host logs out 2 mins into the mission.

    Man I remember this photo. Bought V for 360, beat it and haven’t touched it since. After Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned I waited for a story expansion that never came.

      I bought it, played a little, but was working 60 hour weeks.
      Housemate starting playing on my savegame, so when I next got back to it, I had no idea what was going on.
      Haven’t gone back to it since, though I have nearly finished IV a few times now.

      You mean you didn’t buy it four more times for various platforms over the years? Wow, that’s impressive 👏 Do you do that with all games?
