Fans were emotionally attached to Joel and Ellie because of the first game and viewed them as the heroes even though, we’re made to realize through the course of the second game that they were the villains.

GTA Online is almost never boring if you have great friends or random people in the lobby being funny and the story mode for GTA 5 is legendary and it’s really iconic that’s why when he said GTA 5 is not that memorable I was like what are you talking about?

I certainly wouldn't call GTA 4, better than 5. Hell, I'm currently replaying it. The driving controls there just feel weird(not bad) now, because Im used to 5's better driving. GTA 5 will have that feeling after 6 comes out. The ragdolling out the windshield after a crash, still funny at times, but a little annoying while getting the Wanted lvl down or, chasing a target that keeps driving even if tires are shot. And the way the character feels, again not bad, but its dated now. Feels like old GTA.

[@TreSwayy]

Its nostalgia. Some guy said GTA 5 blinds us by nostalgia which doesn’t really make sense. It’s still an active game so there’s nothing to be nostalgic about it. GTA 5 excels in its world/scope. But it still isn’t great because it’s mostly just empty. But its scale is still pretty amazing and is a sort of miracle it was able to fit onto the ps3/360. GTA6 basically needs to feel like an MMO but single player as far as its immersion with NPCs, and such. There should be hundreds if not thousands of random world events, the ai should react differently each time to the same thing. The AI should also react to each other as well. Also the mission structure needs to be adjusted. Rockstar keeps relying on the same old go here, do this and finish order of their mission design. I expect GTA 6 to be a true evolution of every aspect of their games.

A one time $70 purchase doesn't provide companies enough resources to continue to pay employees and create more content for a game. For those playing the story mode the most you'll have to spend is for DLC which I don't think is a bad thing. If I'm able to receive a plethora of new story mode content spending additional money for it seems fair.

[@TheOldest]

Yep, and the online is going to be like RDR2 and try to rob you blind.

[@elijahscarboro6]

Dont run sleeping dogs on your p5 im always getting blue screened but maybe thats just me ,i love that game

[@Cheesieplays_]

Hot Take: Out of all sports games have gone into this Card generation kind of pack opening thing, MLB/Baseball has handled it the best and the most easiest access to cards compared to other games.

[@BlackHeavenGamingCo]

The PS Vita was the pinnacle of Handhelds.

[@malcolmboddie237]

Psvita homebrew community is evidence of that.

[@bigchopcommunity1012]

People always clowning Xbox controllers for needing batteries but the ps controllers might as well come with the cord attached since you constantly need to charge it

[@DirtyMacflurry]

Fuck with your thumbnails so heavy bro keep it up

[@kalebseymore9625]

I think uncharted got so much hype because like you said it’s bad Indiana jones which has never had a good game and we were in a period that didn’t have a big budget tomb raider game.

[@CheckMate691]

The best online GTA online was SAMP all the rest was garbage. I stand on it

[@themancalledben2731]

I hate that people treat The Last of Us like it's a compilation of cutscenes and not a video game. Nothing about the actual game matters, nah just the cutscenes. Am I the only one that still PLAYS video games? That game was a huge leap AS A GAME even though I can admit the story isn't really good.

[@antman1551]

Hot take: we as a gaming community are severely Stockholmed by these multi million dollar corporations. We allow companies like Ubisoft, Activison Blizzard, EA, 2K, etc.. to continue to create crap products, over price them, nickel and dime us to death, and people still buy the products, all because they gave us good games decades ago, so we’ll support whatever slop they put out for us now

[@StephenASmiith]

i have a lot of hot takes to share but just to name a few: 1. TLOU franchise is unbelievably overrated, honestly a majority of Sony’s IP’s are 2. The best Dead Space has to offer is greater than the best RE has, in other words DS2 vs RE4 3. The Forza Horizon games is the greatest racing/sports series in gaming history 4. Ori Franchise is genuinely one of the absolute greatest metroidvanias ever created.

[@travisahhs11]

You're absolutely right and you bring up some very good examples. This was only the beginning of the decline of the industry because a couple of years later unbeknown to us at the time, games begin to accrue the stench of Sweet Baby Inc and it began to show in the story of video games. What you describe was the start to a very lengthy process that continues at the present.

[@prototypenova5423]

Uncharted 2 is my favorite game not because its perfect or something I haven't seen, but it's my favorite because its simple fun. I can plug it in sit back and just have a good time. Its not as serious or complex as other games and its good for just unwinding after beating a game thats 30 hours +

[@TheJayninja22]

The foundation of Sonic is more interesting than Mario, but Sega has such shitty developers and such poor management that Sonic as a whole never hits those foundations consistently, while Mario hits them every time. Like if Sonic games were developed by Mario Developers, they'd be some of the best Platformers out.

[@alucarddante0048]

Hot take: we dont want that new mass effect if dreadwolf comes out undercooked and underwhelming. We don't need that new team shitting on what we left off in the milky way galaxy

[@BrokeGuysEntertainmentTV]

Gamers should stop paying for early access

[@SugarWatr]

KZbin videos like "10 things to do first in a game" kinda ruins the experience and spoils the game

[@micpango]

That’s why you don’t watch the video. Who is forcing you to watch them?

[@MrAjking808]

Not really .. only to people taking games & movies too seriously

[@SugarWatr]

Just saying there's alot more hand holding these days. Like people who search what's the best class to us in COD or something. But you can play the game how you want obviously.

[@RonRyder]

​@@SugarWatrVideos like that are part of the reason online gaming hasn't been all that fun. People stick to the META from those type of videos and hardly change anything up, which makes the game boring because there's no diversity

[@carlbrown1000]

Quotable lines from GTA 5 "Ye Yee ass hair cut"

[@gogetaa11]

This is a real Hot take. In my opinion out of the Xbox, GameCube, and PS2; the PS2 had the weakest exclusives.

[@jmcgoughy]

totally agree on Sleeping Dogs and SR2. I really wanted a 2nd Sleeping Dogs

[@daXstoRM5]

ight bruh that sponsor transition actually made me laugh you clean for that

[@rastaxer]

So my hot take is that saints row 1, 2 and 3 were more fun and had more interesting gang related stories than GTA SA, VC, LC etc. I don't know another open world game that has a SR2 fighting style selection at those times. Like kung fu, capoeira and wresting? nah they were ahead of the pack

[@AyeeDubzz]

That ad spot translation was 🔥🔥🔥

[@Super_Broly]

Thats all anyone remembered from GTAV, its also a meme and youve definitely seen it more than youve ever interacted with GTAV.

[@theblkdragon]

Speaking of motion controls, Dance Central is the best dancing game out there. Better than DDR and Just Dance. Probably the only thing that made Kinetic worth buying.

[@deondraemcknight232]

Hot take: I'm so happy that beat em ups have been making a comeback these last few years

[@johnnyjohnson2826]

Hot take: baldurs gate 3 fell off for me after act 1. Felt like the best content was in that first third of the game

[@taylerholdnersburnerphone]

i think the first last of us should’ve had two separate endings to see who really would go through of the process of turning ellie into a cure, basically an epilogue of their world being “rebuilt”

[@kdswxrld8836]

Instead of two ending its showing just let you stream line one story or the other. Would’ve had more attachment to the story. Imagine only being able to play Eli your first play through. Then go back and play Abby’s next it’ll give you a new outlook on the whole game

[@zluezo]

Hot take , halo fanboys who shit on gears of war back in the day look reallll stupid right about now since both franchises are in the same exact position right now for the same exact reason 😂

[@wilfredyinfante801]

Hot take: the sonic riders series if given the chance could’ve been the Mario kart killer. But of course sega just be hitting and quitting when a sequel dont sell well, not too mention how they hoed the comeback for the game on xbox Kinect

[@shawnmckenzie1885]

Some games think they can recover like the Witcher or cyberpunk. Stop wasting future ip money and focus on making the next better and more creative.
