Well since we're here, may as well BS a little.

GTA 5 was the first rated M game I bought myself with my own ID when I was 17. Now, I didn't get married and have kids like everyone else my age back then, but I did finish high school, start and finish college, am well into my career, and am about to become engaged.

I'm pretty excited for it, but I'm almost equally as excited for Gears E Day. Been waiting to see E Day played out in-game for almost 20 years now. Also Ocarina. It's going to be a busy end of the year and I'm here for it after a sort of dry year in general for my gaming up to this point.

Happens with hyped games all the time. GTA 6 is not the first one. My suggestion is, just not to read the posts about GTA 6 if you see them. That should do the trick. In example I know I want to play Final Fantasy Revelation, so I do not watch trailers or read more about it. At this point I have seen too much and anything more is just spoiler.

You think people will stop talking about GTA 6 when it's released?

Actual playable gameplay will fuel games media for at least 7 months straight as people discover singular easter eggs and make a whole 12 minute video to talk about someone else finding the easter egg.

Unless the game is genuinely unplayable. Then it will only be like 4 months of people talking about the end of Rockstar and what they might have to do to come back.

Eh, I want God Hand on Steam.

We all can wish for shit, doesn't meant it'll happen. Gotta roll with it.

Plus, TBH, it was worse here before Silksong.

Somehow I seem to have avoided a lot of talk on GTA 6. No doubt there are countless discussions online and youtube analysis videos etc, but unless you're actively searching for these I've found it pretty easy to avoid?

Am I just good at ignoring stuff? Where are people visiting that they're getting overwhelmed with GTA content?

I'm just waiting so I can watch GrayStillPlays do wall rides while riding on an alligator with the chaos mod running.

Buckle up bud, its gonna get a lot more activity when its actually out. Every single blade of grass will have its own 45 minute video dissertation. It will appear on the homepage of every single content-based website whether you like it or not for at least 5 years.

Feels nice to be on the other side of this issue for once. I'm thoroughly enjoying everything surrounding this release, from rumors to actual news, theories and so on and so forth. I just love GTA, maybe the only non niche game i enjoy that much. (At the same time i hate what rockstar games did to gta online so i didn't touch gta V in quite a while, which fuels my hype even more)

Why does this nonsense post have 300+ upvotes? Such a lame community we got. All the comments saying they only care about indie gaming, why don't you guys go to the indie gaming community? Too many losers and dorks here.

There's no way you aren't choosing to interract with a lot of it. I just skip past any GTA6 stuff and haven't seen much outside of the titles for the most major things like the trailer release, a bit about this leak thing that I don't know more about because, as said, I don't open the thread or whatever. Never hear about any AI stuff, nothing about the price tag etc.

You're sick of it because you're choosing to consume it.

The controversy won't stop with release. Do you remember the uproar over Trevor offing Johnny Klebitz back in the day? I'm still holding a grudge after a decade plus.

You can add it as a keyword filter in Voyager; unsure about other frontends. Then you would never see it again on this platform 🙂

My only interest is to buy an used PS5 disc-edition and now I can't because the market is overpriced due to the hype about GTA, I hope it will end in just one year.

I swear to fsm I have no idea what this modern incarnation of the game is about.

My only exposure is playing one time about 20 years ago or something?

It had just come out, my buddy was breathless about how you could have sex with a hooker and then beat her and take your money back.

He loaned me his copy, I played it for 30 minutes, I was like why would anyone want to play this. And I put it down.

Prior to that I had played the top down sprite based one which I thought was okay.

I need to adjust my filter more

Thanks

Bots and bot-like figures that post to communities I've been blocking, as well as domains that I find to not aggregate much and that are posted to communities. GTA6 noise coming to my feed then becomes minimal, and I'd suggest the same then.

I dont imagine GTA 6 will be good, tbh

PANCAKES!!
