Reported for spam

They linked to the gamespot YouTube video, resolving the issue.

Leaving up.

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

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 44 points 4 days ago

Note that they didn't say they wouldn't be playing it

Then it isn't piracy right? It's just downloading software

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

[–] tonywu@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You just know it’s coming.

[–] madmantis24@lemmy.wtf 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

"Coming?" Did we already forget those unionized employees being the first heads on the chopping block?

[–] IckabodKobain@feddit.online 24 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Okay after watching this video, I figured out what the deal is with this game I don't connect with: Netflix. They all wanna do their games now like it's a Netflix show. Not just Rockstar, but all of the major companies.

Graphically... it looks great. If what we're seeing isn't just all post-effects they slapped onto the video.

The dudes voice I don't like. Apparently I'm not the only person judging by some of the comments I've read heh. He just sounds like a doofus white guy. But an unfunny one at that! And they're somehow making his voice sound Deeper? Like if 1990s, Point Break, Keanue had a deeper voice I guess is what they are going for? The problem like some others have pointed out is that the voice doesn't match what we're seeing as the Model.

Eh. Anyways whatever. I'm old. I prefer the old school goofy cartoon GTAs over this Netflix Amazon Movie shit they put out now. I'm not big on Hyper Realism these days. Kind of over it really. That's just me though.

"Log-in to validate your age" nah.
You couldn't pay me to create an account there.

Someone upload it please?

[–] hirihit640@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I posted it to c/piracy on lemmy.dbzer0.com. Not sure if linking the post will break rule 6 here

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It would. I initially had this post pointing to a Streamable link during the exclusivity window, but it was removed for Rule 6. Not sure how that rule interacts with alternate YouTube frontends like Invidious, but I'm not going to press my luck.

If anyone wants an unauthorized stream that bypasses YouTube and Netflix, they're not hard to find with a simple web search. If that's too much effort, you're not missing much anyways.

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Seems like a good game but the expensive price plus the fact it will be 30FPS on launch is a no-go for me. Will wait for PC release (if that ever comes?). Got enough backlog games anyway.

It'll be the same as the last 3 games. Who gives a shot?

I can't wait to smoke weed and drive around listening to the radio

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 60 points 4 days ago

Sounds good, but what do you plan on doing in the game?

[–] rimu@piefed.social 35 points 4 days ago (2 children)

This looks like a fun time. I look forward to having the hardware to run it, in 10 years. Maybe in 20, when I retire.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Cute thinking you'll get to retire in 20 years when you sink all your savings on hardware.

Not watching a trailer for a game that isn't coming to PC.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (7 children)

*In 2026.

It's kind of obvious they are double dipping on the anxious that would buy a console solely for GTA.

Lucia is a dream for horny modders. I can already see the plethora of nude mods and mods to give her comically huge boobs and ass.

I get some of the very well deserved hate for Rockstar but come on, it's one of the best looking games this year, and the fact it looks like that on, an apparently baseline, PS5 is nuts.

In a few years when they port it to PC and we we can throw it at a high end graphics card, it's going to look like real life. And it's clear that there is more then just graphics here.

Mind you, I have no idea how they are going to handle the online mode as GTAO was terrible. I hope they do better with that.

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.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

I'm sure this is exactly what they wanted.

It’s actually kind of insane how much of a lock the sales of this game are. I can’t think of many other things that were just garunteed to sell like this. Apple products?
