I feel like im the only person in the world who isnt excited for this game. I dont care for GTA, they just feel super clunky and sloppy to play. (I know, no one asked.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You're not the only one, friend. The only thing I care about is what sort of pricing hijinks they get up to, which could have industry-wide consequences.

Spend 10 minutes trying to negotiate a doorway or ladder, and you call this clunky?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah, no one plays GTA for the gameplay mechanics, they play them for the RP or the chaos, or both.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I played GTA IV mostly because the mechanics were fucking awesome. The driving was incredible for an open world game like that. Euphoria was dope.

The first seconds of the GTA V gameplay trailers hinted that they neutered the driving. Then they announced the driving was ported from a Midnight Club game and that was the last nail in the coffin for me.

Tried the game once at a friend's house and the gameplay feel was so shit I never played it again. I knew I'd always be distracted by it.

Like, I play clunky games like Arma 3 and DS2, but neither bother me to the amount GTA does. Maybe I just dont like the core gameplay or somethin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I feel like GTA is definitely more clunky than those two games. Might be because the animation feels wrong for some reason.

I have to assume they're targeting 30fps because that would be using all the bells and whistles like raytracing and running at 4k on the consoles; which are unlikely to be able to achieve 60fps or higher with all that shit on.

And, as they have done with literally every single GTA since 3: It likely won't release on PC at the same time. It will come 1-2 full years later and when it does, will have more features and run at a higher frame rate.

I played Oblivion at 8fps, bring it on

Always looking down to get more FPS while walking around towns...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I know that feel bro

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

We'll get 60 and above on pc a while later anyway. Also the sold separately thing is probably just like they did with RDR2 where you could get everything or just the multiplayer part of the game, which I personally think is fine.

30 fps

Lol, what kind of bullshit is this? 30 fucking fps. Unplayable garbage.

you need 2 spaces and 2 enters after the first line to make it separate from the quote:

(yeah I know, formatting is really dumb)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

If there's is a reason for making it that way, it's not really dumb.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks, fixed it!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I hope so! I’m interested in buying the single player game, and have absolutely zero interest in the online experience.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It's comment threads like this that just show how absolutely clueless G*mers are.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly I'm fine with this as long as the graphics justifies the framerate.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My 144 hz monitor has ruined my ability to enjoy normal refresh rates in games. I need a support group for this ffs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I need a support group for this f~~f~~ps.

Fixed that for ya 👍👍
