What can we do, practically speaking, to ensure that this game flops?
>>738704860you need to somehow convince pakistan to nuke india
depopulate india
>>738704860>>738704903>>738704921Add>literally no copy reaches Mexico and Brasil
Why? That desperate to see the demise of games with epic scope and production values and make sure we get nothing new to play other than half-baked indie slop?
>>738704860Kill 70% of earth
>Game comes out>Most people praise it for being far better than V at the very least, but being worse narratively than RDR>Gamers, /v/, and e-celebs bitch and moan about the focus being entirely on GTA Online 2 and how the game "fell off">Like 90% of people move on after maybe playing half way through the story and Rockstar just leeches off Shark Card whales for another 5-10 years until a new game releasesThere, that's basically all that will happen when the game releases
You sit down in a public place, let your demands be known, and you starve yourself until you receive them
>we
Nothing it's the most hyped release ever of any piece of entertainment.
I hope it succeeds and contains all the thirdies, preventing them from playing other games
>>738704860You don't have to do anything. All the creators, directors, and original developers of past GTA games left the company years ago. The DLC for GTA Online had the typical millennial theatre kid cringeslop writing. Rockstar censored GTA5, removing jokes about trans people and put out multiple statements about how they have "matured" and "learned" not to "punch down".GTA 6 has like a 90% chance of being complete shit.It won't flop because most people are retarded sheep/npcs that always buy shit without thinking but they get what they deserve.
>>738704860>game and hype so big>must takedown>#NoKings
>>738704860nothing. gtao will print money for another decade until gta7 at which point they won't even bother with story mode anymore.
it's okay, drompf is gonna nuclear strike the world before the game releases
>>738704860You don’t release it in India or LATAM
lets all chop our dicks off and become women maybe that'll work
>>738704860nothing
>>738704860Why do you want it to? I want it to be better than GTA V because GTA V didn't impress me story-wise.
>>738704860Not play the online mode at all
>What can we do, practically speaking, to ensure that this game flops?Genocide (verb) all who have a double-digit I. Q..
Gta 6 is going to be more cringe than that zoomer reboot of saints row a few years ago
>Walk through front door to listen to side character and wife/ex-wife/girlfriend/daughter arguing about the man being lazy and/or abusive>Get in driver seat and listen to schizoid spic reminisce about the good old days and/or engage in uncharacteristically socratic dialogue >Follow magical yellow line on the minimap and drive to location to either steal a vehicle or shoot 50 peopleHoly FUDGE I FREAKING LOVE ROCKSTAR MISSIONS SO COOL I CANT WAIT TO WATCH [100 LITTLE DETAILS YOU DEFINITELY MISSED PART 1 ]
>>738707647Doubtful that game is in a league of its own for cringe
>>738704860Just keep insulting normies who buy this or get hyped for this. Shame them, make up stuff about wokeness or anti-wokeness, amplify stories about employee abuse, basically do everything to smear it
>>738704860Just do nothing and wait for oil to hit 15$ a gallon
>>738705943So, it's GTA V all over again?
>>738704860My prediction:Game will break sales records, but will end up reviewing at like an 8/10 or something. It will be very impressive, but felt like it spent too long in the oven and got overbaked, and wont live up to the impossible hype they've set for themselves.A game as big as GTA is bound to have some silly flaws here and there and the ridiculously pessimistic internet culture of 2026 will zero in on them
>>738706856Little bit racist they took the skinny black girl twerking on the car roof and made her thick.Part of this weird obsession the media has the black women cant be skinny/petite and have to be curvaceous baboons Like its not even part of GTA's intentional "haha racism am I right" humour its more like the devs genuinely being biased against anything resembling an attractive black woman just like the rest of the industry
>>738704860It will flop by itself (at least critically) since what this anon said >>738706585 is mostly true.The single player campaign will be really underwhelming since every talented writer and designer from the golden era of Rockstar has left or retiredThat only leaves the Online which if RDRO and current GTAO are anything to go by will be garbageThat's why they haven't releasd GTA VI bccause the expectations are too high compared to what modern Rockstar can realistacally achieve.The game will be a solid 7 all around and nothing more
>>738706585Game about>degen criminals doing increasingly unhinged behavior>parody of modern pop culture>larger than life psycopaths and sociopathsTurns into>parody of itself that use to parody real life>remove anything seen as counter culture>panders to fags and womenIts hard to imagine this game being any good when the fun of the series has been completely stripped.
>>738707647I know rockstar is a gay shell of itself these days but I highly doubt they'd be THAT stupid. The execs wouldn't allow that to be released. I think the writing is going to be very "chuds can enjoy the surface level but slowly builds the subversion and rug pull moments as we go" sort of thing.
>>738704860Why?
>>738704860can't wait for the game to release and ninjeets seethe and shit their designated streets because they can't play it on their shitch poo bricks and shitty $150 pcsalso it will sell millions of copies day one haha
>>738704860>What can we do, practically speaking, to ensure that this game flops?You don't need to do anything, it won't reach the numbers it expects to simply because the 90's, the decade when criminality was seen as cool and counter current, the last decade of the western glory years fueled by a collapsed and pillaged USSR and eastern block, cannot be replicated, mainly because these days, americans and westerners in general are increasingly poor and desperate themselves, so criminality isn't seen as something far away in an imaginary land as entertainment, it's something they increasingly experience daily.I see youtube shorts with asmon reacting to and reminiscing about "fuck yea america" clips of the 90's and early 2000's gaming and american culture and i remember that during that same time, in russia, it was hell on earth. Drugs, children sold into prostitution, rife with crime, death, suicides, human trafficking(the porn videos of eastern european women you watched online whored out by western pimps who bought them up like cattle) The western economies, including western europe and the USA were riding high on the vast riches plundered from the very rich russian and eastern european soil. Of course you had a great decade or two, you were filthy rich from fucking up a lot of people. Not you reading this, i'm talking about who owns you as well. They had a great ol' time and they threw you some crumbs under the table as well.Zoomers, who are increasingly poor themselves, probably won't splurge 100$ on a gta6 and they'll continue playing their f2p games or live service. Millennials? Maybe, since they don't have children and have some money. GenX are on their way out. There's no new NEW generation of children who are flippant enough about life to want to larp as criminals and whores in video games because millennials got skullfucked by a huge recession back in 2008 and a pandemic and now 3 wars. All you need to do is not talk about it if you want it to fail.
cum in your own mouth and then again
>>738715473cope more shitskin
>>738704860Will never flop or get low scores, retarded contrarian pckeks are so out of touch with reality.
>>738715473>Zoomers, who are increasingly poor themselves, probably won't splurge 100$ on a gta6There's a ton of people who never wanted to buy Xbox/PS again so the purchase would be more like $700-800 if they wanna play it. Take-Two was fucking retarded to not launch gta 6 on Nintendo/PC day 1 this time
>>738704860What we always do, nothing.If the game is good, it deserve the sales.
I'm pretty sure only a new great depression could stop this game from selling a billion copies
>>738704860instigate discourse about Take-Two's saudi funding
>>738704860go to the past and delete gta 3 files, then rockstar dies of starvation before they get to make gta 6
>>738704860pit it against project nortubel
GTAVI will be like FFVII remake or the Star Wars sequels. Great reviews from the press (who are all cowardly frauds), but everyone with taste will know the truth and it will quietly kill the series forever.
>>738704860Nuke every internet provider to ensure that:1) no online mode2) no day one patch
>>738704860The same thing we do everyday, OP.
>>738711324Golly, look at this genius over here!
>>738704860I've been noticing a lot more people saying they hope GTA VI flops after Mixtape came out. I smell bought shills
>>738704860Don’t discount rockstar. They will make an amazing game and game world…then monetize it to hell
>>738704860I wonder if you’ll be able to see the areas they they began to use ai to generate code for
>>738704860Hype it up as much as humanly possible among your normalfag friends and tell people to do the same.The unrealistic expectations will inevitably blow up on everyone's faces, though this is likely to happen even if you do nothing, the west has literally nothing fucking else to cling to anymore, this is fucking it, the final line.
>>738704860Why would you want it to flop? Let it spill over the entire industry and raise the game prices, let the laid off devs pile up in the employment offices, in the end, they'll beg us to buy their slop.
It's not 2010 anymore. When V was released we'd just had IV and two whole expansions literally a couple years earlier. VI is coming out after 15 years of its predecessor being milked into oblivion and turned into something so perverse only the most retarded normie cattle could possibly enjoy it. Those kind of people alone will ensure it sells well, but even cattle get bored eventually. VI is shaping up to be a sterile imitation of GTA, it will be interesting to see how well it can maintain the hype after release, because if it is anything other than the most amazing game ever made, it will sink like a stone and PlayStation sales alone won't be enough to make a multi billion dollar game a success.
>>738704860Kill yourself for starters
>>738707738This shit made me laugh hard
>>738720384>so the purchase would be more like $700-800 if they wanna play it.It's a perfect shitstorm waiting to happen. A PS5pro is 900$ and iirc gta6 was made for that version.
>>738722493>A PS5pro is 900$ and iirc gta6 was made for that version.Yeah I know but I think it was retarded for Sony to do this. PS6 is gonna be $800-1000 and those people are gonna get burned so hard. Nobody's gonna buy PS5 pro when PS6 is here.
>>738704860If they are going to fuck the singleplayer experience over, like they did with V and focus only on retards spending money on GTA Online, then i will never buy a GTA game again.
>>738704860Cancel gibs.
>how do we make GTA 6 flopSimply do not accept SNAP vouchers for games.
>>738704860by putting it on pc
>>738715473>something far away in an imaginary land as entertainment, it's something they increasingly experience daily.that's why I liked gta 4 as a easter euro fag. Niko felt like a guy you could bump into on the street (barring his ridiculous name)
>>738704860By not spending money on it and giving Rockstar bad press for their attacks on the modding scene i suppose. Aside from being anti consumer towards PC gamers there's multiple routes you can take.Even if you actually want to play it on PS5 you should consider some way of buying it second hand so no one makes any money. Although i am concerned that they might have some kind of protective measures in place if they don't meet sales projections on the other hand. There may not be any easy answers. Even sometimes those who go woke don't always end up broke because of schemes existing for this. Methods that soften the blow.
>>738704860>What can we do, practically speaking, to ensure that this game flops?Let Rockstar cook. The game is already in development hell. It usually doesn't help the quality of the released game.
>>738705943>Like 90% of people move on after maybe playing half way through the storyThat’s every open world game
>>738721073You say that but there's an insane lack of self-awareness from >>738705943 saying it'll be praised for being " far better than V at the very least" in the first place. Have people not figured out that every GTA after San Andreas has ended up being considered worse than the previous title?
>>738706585>>738712068/v/ is always confidently wrong. The guy who co-write every R* game with Dan Houser since GTA4 still works at R* as a writer
>>738704860Literally nothing can be done, I can't think of a game more anticipated/hyped over other than maybe Half Life 3.
>>738726934>The guy who co-write every R* game with Dan Houser since GTA4 still works at R* as a writerThe unfortunate timing of saying that right after >>738726913
/v/‘s out of touch contrarianism is at its worst when it comes to GTA6. They delude themselves into thinking there’s no hype when other games have to move their release dates for GTA6. They say it will score poorly and everyone will hate playing it and when told to explain why they think that, they will say that it will play like GTA, the thing that helped them sell 200 million units. They will tell you some inane shit that is a total deal breaker to zero people like the crime game has too many blacks in it. And the game is too woke while you play as a tall buff lady killer white guy. It’s honestly embarrassing
>>738706856why are americans so entertaining to watch?a country full of weirdos
>Nintencultists' sanity literally hangs on this game being delayed as long as possible
>>738721631>VI is shaping up to be a sterile imitation of GTAWhy? We've already seen a way more honest depiction of low life America and the kind of retarded shit folks get up too than any of the previous games. As seen in this thread the game is pretty much taking as much direct inspiration from "Florida Man" shenanigans as possible. What would make it "sterile" outside of some made up complaint /v/ has in their head like not being able to crash a pride parade.
>>738727357 You’re not wrong that /v/ goes full galaxy brain contrarian the second a massively popular franchise is involved. It happens every time. The bigger the hype, the harder they pivot into “actually it will bomb and everyone secretly hates it.”That said, you’re doing the same thing from the other direction. GTA selling 200m copies doesn’t make VI automatically immune to criticism, and people clowning on Rockstar’s writing or tone isn’t some grand delusion. The “too many blacks” tier complaints are obviously braindead, but pretending every criticism is that is just as dishonest as pretending there’s “no hype.”Reality is simple: it’s GTA. It will sell an obscene amount. It will review well. Millions of people will play it. /v/ will still nitpick it to death because that’s what this board does. And six months later the same anons saying it will flop will be posting 300 hours played.Embarrassing? Maybe. But predictable.
>>738730969It's not just /v/, I've seen plenty of doomposting around social media when talking about this game. I'm a little surprised myself but it seems like Rockstar are not the cool edgy gamer's dev they were back in the day.
>mfw 80's Vice City will be an DLC
>>738733839twitter is just 4chan in which contrarian takes are treated as more popular than they actually are
cry faggot, cry
I wonder if Rockstar seeing how poorly the PS5 sold in the last financial report is going to make them panic port the game to PC.
>>738704860pirate it. pay nothing.
>>738734115lol no, PC homos make the least amount of money for R*. Half of their revenue for GTAV came from microtransactions which PC players don’t buy
>>738734458except the game won't even come with the online mode day one, so if they want to maximize their launch sale profits, then they're gonna have to release a port day one
>>738734458wasn't that because players on PC uses FiveM or something? Which Rockstar actually bought?
>>738734547No need to, if anything, delaying PC sales will likely lead to double purchases.
>>738704860>What can we do, practically speaking, to ensure that this game flops?you don't (((do))) anything retard, bad games die on their own simple as
>>738704860nothing. its taking so long, no younger people will play it. they dont play gta v. no kids i coach play any 'boomerslop' or 'unc games' like cod, gta, final fantasy, etc. my nephews and their friends dont play these games. they do phone games, indie trash, fortnite, rivalz, and whatever flavor of the month streamer game is out. this is 10-16 year olds for nephews and older kids i coach. gta6 is for 40+ year olds to buy and not play or log in once a week.
>>738734671Sure for the overall lifetime sale numbers. Not for the actual day one launch numbers
>>738705118No game should take 10+ years to make
>>738734785I don’t think they need to worry about launch sales. They care more about long term sales and growth. GTAV made $1 billion at launch but lifetime it made $10 billion. 90% of its money came post launch
>>738734826It started active development after RDR2
>>738735032yet the CEO keeps worrying about the game not selling enough during the launch period. Probably to appease the shareholders or something.Honestly i can see the shareholders be confused and wondering why some platforms are excluded from the launch period, that might light a fire in their pants.
>>738733973Maybe, but it seems surprisingly common for people to shit on VI. Something ain't right with that.
>>738735032It didn't make a billion at launch, it generated sales of a billion (and it was actually 800 million, not a full billion). If VI achieves similar then it still won't have recouped the several billion it's being reported to have cost in development. They will be 100% relying on Online and microtransactions again, but possibly even more so, because there's no way in hell they are selling enough copies on PS alone to make a profit considering how much they have spent just to make the damn thing. If this game doesn't have legs like V did they are fucked. If it doesn't live up to the hype and word gets out it might sink like a stone.
>>738734785Day one numbers will still be the biggest of all time
