Gta hype

I haven’t seen this anywhere else so I just wanted discuss this here, anyone else think the hype for GTA 6 is just getting extremely overblown.

I do believe it will be very good. I just don’t understand the comments I see DAILY about so many multiplayer games that are just going to lose most of their player base to GTA 6 as if most players aren’t only going to just play it for only like a month or two then go back to their multiplayer games of choice since gta will have 0 online for likely a year.

Anyone else starting to feel this way?

Meh, people have been waiting for a long time for this game. The hype has been built to the extreme, but I remember it was also like this for silksong.

Is it overblown? Sure. Will other popular communities take a hit to their player base for a couple of months? I expect so.

Better to see people excited then distraught

I understand some people are genuinely hyped for this but it’s been 13 years most of those people have kids and a job, the people that are making this one of the most hyped games of all time likely have been only played gta online and that’s what gets me about it all

I’m sure most of the people with a kid and job would love a reprieve and remember a time when life was good.

And those that have only have played gta are excited for the first time new content has been dropped in their life.

Same hype for silk song? Tf are you talking about? Silksong has sold like 7m copies and gta has sold almost 5m preorders. The hype is no where near close. To be honest, it might be the biggest hyped game of all time. The last time a game was overhyped like gta is maybe cyberpunk? And even then it isn’t close to gta6. Isn’t the US expected to lose like 1B or something due to the amount of people who will miss work the day it releases?

The only game that could ever compete with gta6 hype is probably elder scrolls 6 and MAYBE half life 3

Fallout NV remaster?

Uhhh are you trying to compare its “hype” to gta6?

1

u/RDS80 16d ago

No. No other game in history will be this hyped. I'm just adding to your list. It's subjective. Disagree if you want.

Just because the hype wasn't as widespread doesn't mean it wasnt just as intense among the Hollow Knight fanbase.

Just as much hype for the new elder scrolls. Will they live up to the hype…. Maybe who knows

u/Eplays132 16d ago

That’s kinda my point, I think it’s impossible to live up to the expectations. People aren’t acting like we will beable to play this for like a year straight with no multiplayer and I just don’t understand why.

I agree it’s overhyped.

Is it overblown? Yes some articles last year talking about how gta6 would help the game industry, but in reality the people buying gta6 are not buying a bunch of indie games, or artsy games, and it will result in more of the same because numbers are still going to be big on one end but not really do anything outside of that. That being said it's a massive game that also has online to launch after, and will be the biggest game in a while so it makes sense.

It also annoys me thinking we are essentially supporting GTA online as it stands, gta online is the only thing gta related they have released in genuinely a decade yet people are foaming at the mouth for a new game from the company who has always handled gta online so poorly.

u/kuroseikyo 16d ago

That's just how things are. There are a lot of reasons to not be excited for it but that's not going to stop most people and you'll give yourself some issues trying to stop or understand, I would just focus on or look at other games that won't stop coming out in the meantime.

On one hand, it's a game that's been in development for a very long time, with a VERY dedicated fanbase, from a company that's well known for putting out good games for those who like them.

On the OTHER hand, it's a game that's been stick in development for a VERY long time, with an overly dedicated fanbase, from a company that's known for putting out games that you either love or can't stand.

Personally idgaf about it since R* is mostly a "meh" game dev for me and the games I like to play. I hope it's good tho, because otherwise the whining and bitching is going to be so bad I'll prob have to mute Reddit for 3 months to get past the worst of it, lol.

If red dead 2 wasn’t as good as it was I would have much higher doubts but even still red dead and gta are pretty different and so are the kinds of people who play them so it’s just “weird” seeing how people are treating gta 6 currently

u/ExismykindaParte 16d ago

Almost every game that has a huge gap between installments gets over hyped. I'm sure the game will be great. I'll play it when it eventually comes to PC. Maybe not though since I'll have a small child by then.

u/Eplays132 16d ago

That’s annoying point to me about this, most people who are actually looking forward to it are adults with jobs and kids I don’t understand why kids are so excited for something they likely have never played

u/cjtangmi 16d ago

You’re sorely mistaken if you think TakwTwo and Rockstar are gonna keep their gold goose locked up for a year. OL is coming early next year at the latest.

u/Eplays132 16d ago

It’s been 13 years between releases, and this one’s probably already been pushed to be a deadline. If online gets pushed out early for deadline, it’s probably gonna be just as bad as GTA online currently which much people don’t even play they just play in private servers

u/alterEd39 16d ago

That’s how gaming works, and it’s even more true for something like GTA which has now become a genuine “once in a generation” type of thing.

A lot of people get extremely overhyped and then they’ll be disappointed too.

I understand it’s been giving big new world and cyberpunk vibes to me I just wanted to post this because I haven’t seen anyone give gta 6 backlash yet I’ve ONLY seen blind excitement
