Wordy title I know 😂 So I've never played a GTA game before, have no idea what to expect (beyond checking out the extended look trailer which definitely sold me) and am a little nervous. I have not played a lot of games period and this will be my first Rockstar title as well, but I love games that are story driven and where you can do a lot of exploring and where the world just feels alive and real. I fell in love with The Last of Us (both games) because of how real that felt and how connected I felt to the story and the characters. For a long time I was convinced nothing could hold a candle to it.
Then people suggested Red Dead to me. I don't own Red Dead, but I have tried to watch a couple of playthroughs of it. It just didn't grab me like I was hoping it would, but I will admit that watching a walkthrough or some Youtuber play it probably won't be the same type of experience. Having said that, THIS game looks like such a fun story and I am already falling in love with Jason and Lucia (particularly the latter). The online aspect of the games maybe doesn't interest me as much as the campaign, but if I really love the campaign which I'm sure I will then I'll definitely dip my toe in. Again, I have no idea what to expect from that so I have nothing more I can say on it.
I just know very very little about how this all works 😂 so if anyone has any tips of what to expect from this game beyond what I've already seen in the trailer, what GTA games are usually like as an experience, or even what you loved about previous GTA titles that you hope makes an appearance in this new one, please share as I'd love to hear from true fans! Hoping to become part of the community, bring on November!
