at first i wasnât really convinced but by the end i felt like someone had actually had some fun doing game design, not just tech art.

Why do the sound effects remind me exactly of Legend of Sword and Fairy?
Is the PSPortal cool yet?

hmmmm I donât think $150 to play Astro Bot is quite there for me yet but maybe if these things go down to $100 by the time they get Literally One Other Exclusive I would consider it

Something about the sound design in general gives off a similar vibe, especially the vocal sound bites
i canât imagine why you would get one of these given what else you could get instead
if one day it gets fully hacked wide open⌠maybe. still only a maybe.
Ah yeah thatâll do wonders for morale: firing people for trying to unionize and then adding another year of crunch

I wonder if thereâs any chance gta6 just fails. like maybe it launches at $100 for a buggy game that barely runs on base PS5, and maybe the AI bubble has just burst and trump sends in the army after announcing heâs diverting electricity from blue states to help summon the machine god in texas, so everyone is hoarding toliet paper again or something, I donât know.

IDK why but the delay makes me feel like itâll flop too. I remember finishing GTA5 and thinking âthatâs it?â and then in revisiting GTA 4 I was like âwow this sucked, actually. This was GTA 3 with better graphics, which was basically Body Harvest with better graphicsâ
In the past 2 decades I canât think of how Rockstar has meaningfully expanded on the vehicle and gun sandbox of GTA3. They made the graphics a lot better and added a lot of fidelity and detail - but the writing still sucks and the mission design is pretty boring and simplistic - and the gunplay really feels tacked on. Fortnite feels like a better 3rd person shooter.
GTA5 had a full on golf game and movies you could watch in the theaters, and this was easy stuff to miss but took a ton of time and effort to produce. Is GTA6 going to be the same? Will the scooter still be named with an F-Slur?
and what happens if itâs a PS6 launch title lmao.
The shortcomings are much more apparent if you sit down and play Saints Row 3 and 4, and Mafia 3. I think the only way they make this game appealing to me is a âskip campaignâ option so I can just freeroam the game world as a custom character.

maybe the only way it could fail is if rockstar is severely overestimating how much people wanna play gta to play a movie and severely underestimating how many people wanna play gta online, which will not exist for gta6 anytime soon. but even if that happened they would be fine.
OR what if their costs are so astronomical that they literally need to sell 70 million copies and the AI bubble goes parabolic to the point where TSMC refuses to sell wafers for poverty shit like console APUs, so the PS5 is no longer manufactured

It took years for people to realize they like gta 4 more than 5 and rockstar was printing money the whole time. despite being bombarded with months of hearing about bad labor conditions and crunch and whatnot people went crazy for rdr2 including journalists who were like âitâs cowboy week now!!â when the game came out. i think literally running out of money somehow is the only thing that can stop gta6.

Sequel to this
This is the most designer jargon Iâve seen in a while. Youâve got to manage your echo to get sync and entropy. The sync actions can be built by slipshodding and performing gear shifts, with an additional bonus when you hit top shift which grants chaos points, but thatâs not allâŚ
It feels like the attacking and shielding are superfluous to just building up boost and enjoying drifting.
I also dream of GTA6 failing.

The innovation of GTA is that at the moment a mission is completed, all consequences and the world instantly reset.
3 introduced the reset of pedestrians and vehicles, 4 added the environment reset, 5 added the reset in three times, 6 is definitely represents new level of reset.
What is the philosophy of GTA? Reset.

âFortnite succeeds at doing what GTA should have been doingâ feels like a key to a door thatâs been locked for so long I forgot it was in the hallway.

The first two are arcade score attack games that were borderline proto roguelites so I think itâs baked into the roots of the franchise.

the early free version of this game made the rounds back in 2019 but this one is much more extensive

Ok this game looks very cool and I donât mean to discard the whole thing outright, but,
has anyone told these devs that 90âs computer games were not played from VHS tapes?
