    Pay Netflix to see the trailer earlier then people without it.

    It was an exclusive for how long on Netflix?

      True, but that’s also a live-service title (in the form of GTA-Online), where the main source of revenue isn’t game sales but in-game shark cards.

        But everyone got the single player campaign too. I never played GTA Online and only care about the campaign.

      Compared to Witcher 3 the GTA V isn’t even a game, especially if you look at the extremely rigid mission structure in otherwise open world. Rockstar wants to tell stories, not make games. I can’t understand why they just don’t turn into a movie studio at this point.

      I can’t understand why confidently write this, because I’m currently playing through GTA V story mode.

        I don’t understand what you mean by that GTA 5 isn’t a game. I guess everyone has their own definition of what it means to be a game and I don’t want to take your definition away. Here is my definition I wrote back then when “Mixtape” was in the discussions:

        A game is more than just being interactive. A game has rules and you can fail to overcome a challenge.

        To me GTA 5 is a game.

        To quote an ancient review by Shamus Young (RIP):

        GTA IV offers incredible production values, voice acting, music, and visuals. By contrast, all Saints Row 2 can offer is fun. You’ll have to work out for yourself which one sounds better.

        The wrong series died.

          Saints Row didn’t die at 2 lmfao. They kept pushing gimmicks without improving anything about the series, like the super hero game genuinely felt like a mid level mod but was a full priced game. And do we even need to talk about the reboot?

    Seems like a good time to play it for the first time too. I just need to find a decent recap of the first two

      I daresay the first two are even worth a playthrough, they’re not that long. Okay, maybe the first is pretty janky and you may want to skip it, but a W2 playthrough is a dozen hours or so, and it holds up ok-ish for a 2011 game.

      But also they’re all fairly self-contained. Apart from some recurring characters and the general overarching plot ( which are all explained in W3 ) they’re not strictly mandatory.

      Do it anyway. I played and beat 3 and I still haven’t played the first two. I may have been missing some background info but they did a great job explaining everything contained in 3.

    They’re a corporation who forces their workers to crunch. Quit sucking them off like they actually care about you.
