Did any of you actually watch the GTA VI thing last night?
I’m a bloke, I've played GTA since I was 9, I think. Me and my partner Watched the new GTA VI look last night and it looks ridiculous. The city, the cars, the way it all moves. I know this isn’t exactly a gaming forum, but there’s enough of you with husbands and teenage sons who’ll have it pre-ordered by the weekend that I thought I’d ask the obvious question.
Are any of you lot actually excited for it, or is it just going to be the usual?
Wife sat through about four minutes, laughed at Lucia and went to bed. .
Anyway. Anyone else looking forward to it, or am I talking to myself?

I’m more of a Red Dead fan that a GTA fan but yes, I have watched it and it looks insane. Do you mean the 20-odd minute trailer that’s on Netflix?

I am female, by the way, my son is too young to play GTA and I don’t have a partner. It’s not a prerequisite for being excited about one of the biggest gaming releases for some time to own a penis Wink

Absolutely... Vice City is my favourite GTA, so this will be heaven. Except I'm not buying a console for it. I could cry but it's far too expensive to play any time soon 😭

I'm a fan. Tho I much prefer RDR. Let's hope they don't ruin the online experience like they did with the RDR2 game and eventually GTA (too much of a money grab).

Tell me you've never played GTA without telling me. Its not all about running people over and stealing cars.

That person is why I posted what I said. So many people have no fucking idea what GTA is but they feel confident to talk about it like they do. Its frustrating.

GTA is a LOT more than stealing cars and running people over FFS 🙄

@StrawberryWater they did ruin RDR2 online didn’t they. I saw there is a new mod out next month so you can explore Mexico in RDR2 but sadly I am not a PC gamer. I reeeeeally hope they give us RD3 one day.

@TheBigBoss55 do you think we will get Blue Ark Radio in GTAVI?! I hope so. It was my favourite to cruise around to.

God I hope so. I know V Rock is returning as is Emotion. So I hope they bring back a couple of radio stations from GTA V. Hell even IV would be nice.

I haven’t pre ordered it yet because I can’t decide if it’s worth upgrading my console for… I probably will at some point though. And it’ll probably be sooner than I intended

My favourite part of any GTA game is just driving around, exploring random corners of the game and doing the side missions. I always do this before starting the main missions. I have no doubt that this game will be treat for people like me. You should create your own account and get a hang of the game via exploration and driving around with the radio on!

Damned right I do.

I usually play for an hour or so, then save the game, and finally have a few minutes of causing as much mayhem as possible before the cops waste me, then I quit the game.

Those few minutes of raising havoc are fantastic fun.

I'm a PC gamer so will have to wait for my GTA fix :-(
