Fr if you're gonna hate on GTA you can do way better than "it looks like the previous game". Gotta get a little more spicy:
Rockstar's whole design philosophy is stuck in the mid 2000s and San Andreas was the last GTA to actually deserve any of the praise it got

This is why my default assumptions of most comments I see on the main gaming subreddits are:
- This person likely doesn't even play the game
- This person might not even play any games and exclusively experiences them through streamers
- If this person does play any video games they likely just pirate it despite them talking about what developers owe them.
- This person is likely under 20.
Oh and then you get the same people on the PC-related subreddits shitting on peoples' builds and setups from their hand-me-down 10 year old family laptop.

That said, I have no idea if “the characters are flat” is an actual problem with their preview, or it is just alt-right child’s complaining about skin tones as they always do.

u/Dangerous_Serve_4454 Aug 29 '26
It's not dumb to want something more than a copy paste with a new story and new graphics.
It's called innovation. Half life 1 was great and innovative fps shooter. Half life 2 was still a shooter, still the same universe, but they added more lore, better graphics AND a whole physics based gameplay loop that they explored deeply. Amazing innovative live scenes that replaced cutscenes, cool new enemies that changed the way you played, etc.
A sequel doesn't have to be the same generic gameplay loop every time. Why not make the GTA world more of a simulation like we all want it to be? Let me recruit gang members, setup my own dynamic heists, build a criminal empire in a non-scripted way? Something more than drive car to destination and shoot bad guy, watch cutscenes, car chase, go to some pointless shallow mini game like darts or pickleball, then repeat. We have that game 10 times over, we make something innovative.

I guarantee that if they had taken the game in a completely different direction the exact same people would be screaming that 'this isnt GTA'. Also since the franchise transitioned to 3D it has basically just been incremental change between titles with no major departures bar what the next gen of technology allows - and this game delivers on that the graphical, physics and AI difference between it and gta5 is massive when you actually put the 2 side by side. The issue is that some people spent like 15 years hyping this game to be bigger than god and when its not that they made themselves dissapointed and then theres also the fact that people are just far more out there looking to engagement bait or be contrarian then they were prior to 2015.

It's ok to like and criticize things. But when people extrapolate personal preference into a universal statement like "FF7R had the worst combat ever", then that's where it becomes a problem. It didn't have the worst combat ever, you just didn't like it, and that's ok.
4
u/alienith Aug 29 '26
Honestly part of it is just a selection bias. People trying to argue an objective truth like "FF7R had the worst combat ever" invites much more engagement than somebody personally disliking it. Sites and apps don't differentiate between negative engagement and positive engagement. All engagement is good engagement.
Nobody really cares if I personally don't really like Bloodborne's level/game design. People do care if I say "Bloodborne is objectively a terrible game and you're stupid if you think otherwise".
3
u/RigobertoFulgencio69 Aug 29 '26
I think there's a bit of a bias against criticism because it just kills the vibe when the critic can't read the room. They'll go to a place where people specifically went to talk about the product, because they like/are excited about the product, and the criticizers will just bring negativity to a space where it wasn't asked for.
A LOT of it is the "nobody asked" side. There is an ego component to thinking that anyone cares about your opinion enough to warrant leaving a comment, and when you say something negative in an environment where people are enjoying something positively, it just harshes the vibes for no reason at all.
There's a place for (constructive) criticism of course, but I think most people criticizing online aren't being very constructive or aware of the vibe around them.

I get this for criticism of the government or problematic cultural norms, but the amount of criticism people get for simply enjoying a piece of art can be absurd. Friendly discussions over certain problems a game, movie, book, comic, etc. is fine as well. It’s when someone comments criticism like, “this is trash and there’s no way someone else could enjoy it” that I think there’s no reason you can’t just keep it to yourself and let someone else be happy.

People are passionate about their hobbies. I'm passionate about video games and have been since the year 2000. I don't only play games, I also like to take a peek behind the curtain and learn about the industry, about gamedev, marketing/publishing, game design etc.
GTA6 with its budget and expected sales and long dev time is a huge event for the hobby so naturally it will be heavily scrutinized. And Rockstar is an industry giant and their game is extremely hyped so of course people are gonna look very closely.
Personally I think it's overall better for us as consumers to be highly critical of a huge corporation like this vs. just praising everything they do and forking over 80$ + tip just because we're on an emotional hype train.

Reminds me of the discourse around Forza Horizon 6. Game is gorgeous, biggest map by far in the series, they keep nudging the gameplay slighter further toward sim handling with regard to tire traction while still keeping a very arcade over-all feeling.
But it's the sixth game in a series that is iterative rather than transformative. So some people hate Forza Horizon 6 for being a Forza Horizon game. They complain that it doesn't have a dark and edgy story, calling it "festival slop". They complain that it has weekly challenges with exclusive rewards, saying that it's FOMO, but then other people complain when the rewards repeat because I guess that's not FOMO enough. People complain that the live service portion isn't bringing enough all-new content to the game, but the trickle of live service it does provide is at zero additional cost, not even an optional purchase, so there's no "battle pass" or nonsense like that. There is DLC, but that will be for full expansions that come with a new exploration map region and cars.
Like, I totally get that the game isn't perfect. The UI could use some work, and some features are either anemic or outright absent, so the game certainly isn't above all criticism, but the amount of people mad that Forza Horizon is Forza Horizon and that it isn't receiving significant, weekly, free content additions is downright absurd.

If you don't treat this game like the second coming of Christ, you're wrong and not being objective apparently.

People are not only excusing things that they tear other games down for, but saying it's to be expected and amazing that this game has these limitations. On top of the quite skimming business practices in play. But, of course, it's the objectively most exciting bestest game ever.

They have become a lot more almost like a life simulator type of experience since GTA4. Always very technically impressive with cutting edge graphics with interesting stories and worlds but they have lacked a certain game feel to them that can make them less focused on being just pure fun.

Weird to be downvoted for this. Im the same. I loved GTA3 as a kid (played it again recently). But I cant stand GTA5. The driving in the game is unironically worse than it was in 3 and it just completely killed the game for me

u/rvasko3 Aug 29 '26
I mean, it's not a "downvote if you hate this guy and don't think he should have an opinion" system. It's "upvote if you agree" and "downvote if you disagree." Expressing dislike for a popular game series when people are hyped for the next one is likely gonna lead to downvotes.
Maybe you and "butt hurt fanatics are creating multiple accounts on Reddit" complainer you're defending should just not take it so personally.

Butt hurt fanatics are multi accounting to mass down vote anyone who goes against their cult-like group think

Everyday I am reminded that gaming is fun. But interacting with other gamers…not so fun.

My take is, if people like a game why tf can't others let them enjoy it without trashing it? If you don't like it you don't have to play it. I could care less about GTA but my friends do and I'm hoping they enjoy the ever living shit out of it and have a good time

"It looks exactly like GTAV" yeah after it got a decade of graphical updates. GTAV did NOT look that good back in 2013 when it came out.

Two schools of thought can exist simultaneously.
The first school: Rockstar is a piece of shit scummy company that benefits completely off of selling insane micro transactions, treating their employees and consumers like drones, re releasing the same game for over 13 years at full price with marginal improvements all while telling you you dont actually own the game youve sunk hundreds of hours and dollars into.
The second school: GTA VI looks like a phenomenal game.
Edit because im stupid and roman numerals are hard lmfao

Yeah you’re totally right! GTA IV was a phenomenal game back in the day. What are your thoughts on GTA VI?

30 fps or pay 700 for 60fps or wait for pc for unoptimized pc experience. Or pay for 2 of those because you want to play early and then want to play it at its full potential.
Just feels like consoles are a scam at this point. If every game was optimized for pc and everyone built their own tier of PC, exclusivity and drip fed quality would both be decreased for game consumers.
Even good pc games are releasing with quality settings optimized for 1660s for gods sake

Tried jumping into the series for the first time ever (GTA 3) and couldn't get into it. GTA 6 looks sick though so gonna try GTA 5 this time to see if it clicks before deciding on whether to play 6.

Going to GTA 3 in recent times is definitely interesting fair play.
For me GTA 5 had a fun story aspect and was the first one I cared about completing

i remember when i watched the rdr2 trailer and thought that Arthur Morgan looks bland and boring as a character and wished that John Marston would still be the main antagonist. But how wrong i was. Arthur became one of my favourite antagonists of all games.

I ain't excited for GTA6 but I will give credit where it's due, it looks fantastic, the lighting in the trailer was so good. I hope the story is praised enough to convince me to buy it on PC

I think people are just pissed we’ve been waiting for so long, so they’re doing everything they can to justify their anger.

I don’t even like GTA games, but AI would not be put into an 11 year production AAA game made by the same people who made RDD2.

The game looks incredible I have no idea what anyone could possible complain about. Everything I saw looked immaculate.

u/Herojay13 Aug 29 '26
The game looks amazing compared to GTA 5. We gotta keep in mind that the gameplay was captured on PS5 too, not some fancy upgraded PC. Only pet peeve I have is with the fire VFX and the skin textures, but that’s only because everything else looks so good! They definitely didn’t wasted those t’years of development

Those people saying GTA VI looks like GTA V only because it looks like it is from the same franchise, which it is, also buy the newest FIFA every year.
And almost as bad are the people who say I don’t care, I won’t buy it. I don’t care. I don’t care that you don’t care.
There are billions of people who don’t care and they don’t have to tell it everyone who does care.

I will interject, it isn't because people think being excited is cringe. The reason people are so negative is that is the behavior that is most rewarding on most social media platforms and we are a lot more easily manipulated than we care to admit to ourselves. Yes, reader, some of your negative emotions about stuff was indeed you being manipulated into being negative about something. I know that sounds insulting, but it is true, it is basic human psychology.
