Also, are you stoked? Seems like two of the biggest/most anticipated releases in years.

My copy of Zelda shipped. First time I have bought a game on release date in several years. Not too interested in GTA 6, but I will probably get it in a year or two.

Neither; I don't care about either of them. Any remote interest in GTA I had died when they announced the banned Proton support on 5, then they announced the price just to be sure.

[–] QuadratureSurfer@piefed.zip 6 points 4 days ago

No, my game backlog is too long as it is.

[–] earlier_riser@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Definitely Zelda. N64 games sold for like $70 new IIRC, and to quote Bubs, "Them's 1998 dollars!" So as far as I'm concerned a ground-up remake like this is worth it, especially since I didn't play it on 3DS.

No. I never played Zelda and I stopped with GTA at Vice City.

[–] likebudda@reddthat.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Imma finally give GTAV another try. Noped out pretty early when I couldn't maneuver a motorcycle for a mission the first time around.

Nope. Both companies are bastards and don't deserve my money.

On top of that, GTA5 was boring. I could only ever get a couple of missions in before I dropped it and went to something else. And this happened three times so they've been given more than a fair shake.

[–] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 4 points 4 days ago

Neither. I'm going to play GTA Vice City Stories on the Vita instead.

[–] Fallibilist@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago

No. GTA probably at some point but considering I haven't even finished the story mode on GTAV, it'll probably take a while. I'm not much of a gamer anymore anyway.

[–] braindead_hottie@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Dude I'm still stuck with hardware that was already antiquated 8 years ago

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

No switch 2, so no Zelda for me. It's ok though I just got used copies of BotW and totk off the marketplace last year and only just beat BotW. Never been a GTA fanboy so I'll wait for a deep discount. My only day 1 purchases are from fromsoft and cdpr.

Need to be able to afford the console first.

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 4 points 4 days ago

No. Minimizing spending until / unless I get a better job. Fuck 'em. Fuck the capitalist dogs. I've got a library full of books and a decade of old games.

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 days ago

Ocarina Remake, I already pre-ordered it and will pick it up tomorrow. Can’t wait to play it, well. After my mother played it for a few hours lol. I will not purchase GTA 6 since it is expensive, it is not on PC, and it is locked to 30 fps on PS5 (I have heard).

[–] bw42@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Neither, will not buy another Nintendo system, nor will I setup an account to play a single player game from Rockstar.

I instead am eagerly awaiting returning to Azeroth in WoW Forever.

[–] neidu4@piefed.social 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

No. I have a PS5, but I'm not in a rush. I might get gta6 when the reviews are in of a good single player, but after gta5 turned out to be a tech demo with a story line I'm not buying anything on launch day. We'll see in January, maybe.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I can't afford a Switch 2 for my wife, and I do not play console, so neither.

I would be getting GTA 6 if it came to PC, but as it's console only I don't really have a choice. Once it does come I'll pick it up though. GTA has been one of my favorite gaming franchises, I have no reason to not have hope this one will be just as great.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

GTA only, because for the first time ever I can't afford a switch 2 to get the game. Maybe one day, but probably not for another year at least. My friend is getting both and by accident he realized best buy is doing a midnight release so he will get it tonight. Been years since we last heard of a midnight release. I miss those days. I told him to let me know how many ppl even show.

[–] y0kai@anarchist.nexus 5 points 5 days ago

I'll wait until someone ai slops GTA into a browser or something

[–] dimjim@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

I can’t wait to play the OoT remake, but I refuse to buy a switch 2 just for one game. I’ll just wait till switch 2 emulators get good and play it then!

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 3 points 4 days ago

This is how I learn the next Zelda is coming out

[–] EloySg@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ill wait until i can emulate Zelda and run native GTA VI

[–] xnx@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

You can emulate it already

[–] DGen@piefed.zip 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

For me clearly Zelda. I do want to ~~okay~~ play GTA VI, but I got Zelda, Wow Forever and other backlogs to clear I'd rather Focus on at the Moment.

But to anyone going With GTA VI: Have a great one!

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 3 points 4 days ago

Zelda.

I'm waiting to see what the reception of GTA is going to be after the hype has died down. Plus, it's the type of game I'd rather have on PC.

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I was waiting for reviews to confirm what I already thought would be the case but it looks like I'll be grabbing Zelda tomorrow. GTA comes out right before my honeymoon and I never play any of those on release anyway. I have no interest in GTA's multi-player so I'm fine to wait until a later date

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Gonna pirate GTA at some point but it'll take a few years

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

PS5 emulation is already here. They've been advancing it at an insane pace.
All we need is the GTA6 game files and oh boy they've been trying. Sony has been releasing update after update desperately trying to stop people from finding a new entrypoint and no shot it's gonna stop people with this many fans so upset at them.

We're about to see some nerds pull a GTA6 piracy any% speedrun and it's going to be hilarious

At the very least I GUARANTEE it'll happen before it comes out on PC. The only thing I'm worried about is if someone puts malware in the crack.

[–] xnx@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago

Downloading zelda as we speak to play it on my pc

[–] Henryterd@feddit.online 2 points 4 days ago

Neither on day one. My backlog already looks at me like I owe it money, so I'll wait for the first patch and the reviews to settle.

[–] Epp@lemmus.org 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

All three! WoW Forever in two hours, Zelda tomorrow, and GTA later this month. It's a busy time to be a gamer.

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

Do you think they're going to run out?

[–] Epp@lemmus.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what you mean. They definitely won't run out of WoW or GTA6, since they're both digital only, so I assume you mean Ocarina of Time. I bet they will stop selling the physical version, but I doubt they'll run out before the end of the year.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I was asking because that is a lot of games to get at launch. I've been burned on launch titles, so it's a no on all three. I've got a backlog to play, and Nintendo won't get anymore money from me. I'll emulate it first.

I'm so broke I can't justify it. I'm spending $40 on a PSU trying to keep a nearly decade old PC alive so I can play WoW Forever in a couple of hours.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

Neither for me as well. Never played 3D Zeldas and I like Sleeping Dogs or Mafia but not GTA.

[–] Polisheocket@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

I’ll get gta. I have the og switch and haven’t played it in years, loved it for a while but just not a fan of Nintendo games anymore
