I don't believe this at all, but they're still gonna have to make a really, really good single player mode for me to get this game. I'm not trying to play online constantly and I'm not trying to pay a bunch of micro transactions.
I'm still pretty annoyed at how they left all of the features that make GTA what is for only online play. GTA 4 had such an awesome story and dynamic world with so many interesting characters.
GTA 5 just felt empty in comparison. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I'm just here for story mode.
If you're in the minority I'm there with you. I just want to play offline story mode. I have exactly ZERO desire to play GTA or RDR online.
I will say, the RDR2 world was significantly more immersive than GTA V was (though there was a lot of years between them). I actually wanted to explore the world and uncover all the random shit. With GTA V yeah it was fun to drive around and blow shit up but there wasn't really engaging content outside the story.
I'll be curious what GTA VI holds, but I'm not going to pre-order or even purchase on day one. I'll wait and see how things go.
Agreed. I will say the companion activities like golf or tennis were fun in GTA V, but the basic immersion stuff of like needing to eat, sleep, take care of my horse, etc, while silly or tedious to some, really kept me engaged in RDR2. They even had a basic hunger system in San Andreas. I’m hoping for something like that. And on the topic of horses, they really need the car insurance system from multiplayer to be integrated. It’s frustrating to customize a rare vehicle and have it disappear because you decided to start a mission.
RDR2 has my all time favorite game world.
I absolutely love interacting with it.
Between quests I avoid fast travel so I can hunt and explore.
They're gonna make a stink about 150, then charge 80 for the base version. 90 for the digital deluxe. 125 for the collectors.
GTA 5 single-player was absolutely fine, certainly on the whole not worse than the other 3d GTAs. Never cared about online.
While I agree that 4 is amazing, 5 felt anything but empty. It was literally the most lived in GTA world theyve made, where every GTA before felt like walking through an old Hollywood set where you can't go into any buildings and to look behind the facade would reveal the hollowness of the world.
Make that two of us. I think maybe IV had worse graphics, but other than that it was superior to V. Especially when you include those two extra DLCs and how interestingly those stories intertwine.
i don't ever play online or the campaign, i just like driving around and crashing into shit
Same. My wife loved doing that too, and also driving the bus around. I mostly liked to start off walking around as Trevor, wailing on the first guy to mouth off at me, and then go on a rampage through white trash country.
