I don't trust modern Rockstar to make a good game considering all the recent layoffs and union busting. That last game they made was in 2018, it has all the signs of over-budgeted, safe, corporate slop. The Rockstar I loved is long dead.
Even without the union busting and layoffs, GTA 5 multiplayer was as painful as they could possibly make it to milk people for shark cards. GTA 4's multiplayer was just a fun sandbox to mess around in, which is what GTA 5's multiplayer should've stayed, and then maybe single player would've actually got some meaningful post-launch content (remember how GTA 4 got two DLCs that were, effectively, two entire additional games on the same map? I remember.)
Instead, they realized they could milk whales, abandoned the singleplayer experience, and I expect GTA 6 to be just as awful and extractive if not more so. Miss me with that shit, I might pirate it and play the singleplayer campaign but that's about it, they're not getting my money anymore.
Literally, and this is a peeve of mine in regular posts -- if they don't add the keyword in title, body or alt text, it can't be blocked.. Unless my client starts using OCR to read text in the images
I am not overly interested in the game, don't care if it gets spoilt because it won't be on PC for a few years probably. I am not going to be able to avoid spoilers for that long.
There has been no official gameplay. And honestly, I don't have enough time. There is way too many games to play to be worried about 1.
My backlog is long and scary... And it's getting longer
I don't know if they can afford gatekeep it on consoles for that long. Previously, I knew I would be buying it regardless, now I envision the internet full of posts how buggy it is and how nonsensical quests are and how sloppy it feels, and after a year of that I would avoid it even when it comes to pc. They might want to ride the hype all the way and try to push it on pc before it sauers the grapes.
It could be not true if the game is good, but come on, we all know that wouldn't happen.
As a PC gamer I have zero hype for GTA6, and that's ok because I have a treasure trove of highly discounted and free games to keep me busy until however many years down the road I have to wait for it, after which I'll get to play it with better graphics.
...and the very likely tons of DLCs...can't think they gonna miss out on that.
But yeah, my days of being an early-adopter are long gone.
Wait a year or more and the game is as patched as it gets, has all DLCs included, got discounted or even bundled, my PC is probably double of what it was on release day, and the cherry on top: mods are settled.
wait, does it full on block it or just hide it?
im sorry about my previous comment. i take everything back regardless, it was just a really bad joke.
i saw the opportunity and could not resist.
It gets intercepted by the client during fetching and not rendered for the user. Now, comment chains on top of a blocked message are something I'm interested about, I'm assuming they too are hidden
I'm based in Ontario and visit Toronto fairly regularly so I'm biased towards wanting it already but I really want Rockstar to make a GTA: GTA for the name alone
They are story driven as well. So the games since at least GTA 3 have had an overarching story. Spoilers are still not a big deal, at least in the old games. Since thet missions themselves is whst is interesting and fun, not the main overarching story. Would suck a little bit getting it spoiled, but nothing like other games, movies or shows

Even if it's good, at this point the hype has reached such ludicrous levels there's no way it could compete with it's own image

I am looking forward to it, and want to not have too much of a temptation to get a console just to play it

Luckily neither of the consoles the game is on are worth their cost of entry anymore. Absolutely not for one game.

I still have to play 5, and I got it free on the epic fails store. Better play it before it goes out of business and I lose my license to play it

You’re missing out on posts about the Greater Toronto Area (aka the 6ix). Coincidentally, still involves a lot of vehicle theft.

Are GTA spoilers even a thing? Are these games story-driven?
