      First time I’m even thinking about going back to GTA after the ignominious death of Saints Row :/

      I prefer my mass crime simulators funny but no one’s really doing that anymore

              Volition (Saints Row devs) were planing on making an actual Saints Row 4, but their Publisher THQ went backrupt, so they decided to turn the Saints Row 3 DLC into Saints Row 4 (There was supposed to be some extra missions were you met with previous dead saints members and was this cool moment but they had to cut that due to time and lack of a proper budget).

              No, it was unfinished mess and it had a bad story (not because of “woke” or whatever) it was just boring with boring characters and non-sense plot, and it being a reboot it didn’t have anything good from the previous games.

              The developers wanted to make a funny game but at the same time be a gangster game like saints row 1 and 2. I heard the plot was about how the Saints gang begun and I guess it also had the Vice Kings and Los Carnales. They also wanted to return the series main villains, the Ultor Company.

              The producers didn’t want any of that, they wanted a GTA/Watch Dogs 2 clone, I heard they didn’t want the developers to use the color purple (which is the main color of the Saints Row series and the gang). The developers had to fight to keep it that way. They also rewrote a lot of scripts with millennial jokes and other things that had nothing to do with the Saints Row series. In the end, they didn’t even give the developers time to finish the game properly and the result was a horrible, bug-ridden mess.

              If you want a good gangster Saints Row game, just play the Saints Row 2 on pc with the Gentleman of the Row mod. And if you want a wacky Saints Row game, just play Saints Row 3.

      Time will tell. Certain CDPR employees have started their own rival company, The Witcher 4 will have serious competition.

    Excuse my rant: I’ve personally lost interest in GTA6 after Rockstar added that shitty, exploitable, kernel-level anticheat (which broke Linux compatibility for a previously working game) to GTA:V

    I’ve not tested it but apparently the only way to play online now is to cheat (bypass Battle eye) something I’m not interested in doing, not for GTA5 and certainly not GTA6.

      I loved Online when it first released. But, them completely ignoring any kind of SP updates or dlc in favor of shoving more grind into the game to convince you to buy more shark cards really killed it for me. RDROnline just proved that i was correct and they only care about mtx now.

      Pity. It’ll be 2027 and a year of good reviews from people i know irl before i try GTA6.
