I don’t own a console, so I’m not buying it buuuut since it is basically the biggest release of anything ever, I felt a thread with the first extended look was appropriate. ( I know there are leaks but those were just snipptets)

I think it looks cool. There are two playable characters who are a couple. I think it looks cooler than GTA 5, but if youve never been a fan of the GTA series, I doubt this is going to change your mind.

    It’s a grand theft auto game. All the good and bad that comes with that. Doesn’t seem like it’s anything more than a ridiculously fancy coat of paint on the formula. Still stuck in long walk and talks where you shoot when it gets shooty and you walk and follow otherwise. The free form mayhem simulator might be better, but they aren’t showing it off.

    The story seems like it could be okay, but it seems like it’s just the old formula of starting with shitty jobs and shitty people until you end up making connections to billionaires and you’re running missions for them until they try and betray you. The girl Lucia seems pretty cool, but the white boy is probably the most boring protagonist ever.

    I will play it at some point, if only for the open world hijinx, I lost a hundred hours just exploring read dead 2; granted hunting was very compelling in that game, and this seems unlikely to have hunting.
