TL;DR: EA shut down BioWare and canceled the next Mass Effect. We’re rallying fans to demand EA hand off or sell the IP, while ensuring the former BioWare team is brought on to build the next game.

I know this seems extremely stupid to even ask, but I am genuinely wondering.
I've played every GTA game since Gta IV (including the DLCS) and both Rdrs and I absolutely love Rockstar games.
I have recently moved countries for University, while it's been great, it's obviously a lot on the wallet with insane Dublin housing prices.. I've recently been through a terrible breakup and as "joke" thought "well at least I'll get to play GTA VI soon" but then it dawned on me.. that I won't..
Again, I know this seems extremely stupid and obviously there are way bigger problems going on in the world. But I've played these games since I was a kid and gaming in general is a way I get my mind off bad thoughts and relax a bit, so this is upsetting me way more than it should be...
I live in a shared house with 15 people and share a room, the house has no tv etc so I had already accepted I wasn't gonna be able to play the game when it released but I thought "hey at least I can play it when I go back home for Xmas" (December 14th) But with insane rent prices, uni fees and living costs in general, even with working a lot when I don't have classes I just cannot afford a PS5 especially now that they've gone up in price. I could afford the base game probably though, but right now that seems worth nothing.
Again, sorry if this post is weird? I promise it's not a pity post or asking for money whatsoever, I'm genuinely just having a hard time with the whole moving thing and a breakup on top of it and I was really looking forward to play the game and forget about how shit life is for a bit.
I know I'm not the only one that won't be able to play the game for a while, so, for those of you in a similar boat - What are your plans? Are you guys going to try avoid spoilers? Watch streams? Get off the internet completely until you can play lol? Genuinely wondering

Manni L Perez has been ID’d as Lucia’s VA since like trailer 1 but I haven’t seen anyone talking about Jason’s, at least not with as much confidence as they do Lucia’s

Countdown continues! I'm going to look for an 85" TV today. I need a bigger screen! 🥴

Because I think we all know this is most definitely NOT beating rdr2 in terms of story. But will it be better than 5's? I think probably since I do think GTA 5's story was very weak. So what are y'alls expectations?

​

"Not really coping with anything. Just stating the fact it's going to be a wide open empty and boring piece of garbage, Just like GTA5.

But hey, you people go ahead and pretend to enjoy it."

"Oh yes I am totally coping! With 200,000+ games to play on PC. God you COPE with the fact not everyone wants to play GTA 6!"

"Sorry y'all, the team that made GTA5 is no longer involved, expect some Dragon Veilguard quality of writing Imao, hope this game dead after 1 month arrival so this political craps in gaming die with it."

"id rather not play than have 30 frames. people with brains and standards will agree"

"I swear you people are arguing with ghosts Imao.

Like is it not okay for us to simply not care about GTA6?"

90% of that group of people the first thing they're going to do is look up a YouTube guide on how to do every single little thing in the game instead of actually just playing the game and enjoying it

They're going to spoil themselves the first chance they get and on purpose

The general sentiment you should have is, when watching a video about gta6 after it's released, you should just expect there to be some spoilers, not the other way around

If you really thought the game looks that good, then your images wouldn’t need AI filters added to it. You’re just self sabotaging your entire point that the “game looks amazing”.

Calm down, don't throw stones at me! I know the focus is entirely on single player mode, but I won't lie in how curious and even anxious I am about how online mode will be implemented. It will definitely be refreshing for everyone to start from scratch again, a more restrained progression that can be followed from the beginning, not to mention the whole role play system and the insane customization that will be the characters, vehicles and houses.

After you complete the final mission the screen will eventually fade to black and then some dramatic music will play as all of the developers names scroll past on the screen for about an hour. We'll all be feeling really emotional at that time!

I think she would make millions if she did. Past GTA actors have confirmed their pay from Rockstar was good but not life-changing and most of the money they made was from self promoting themselves in other ventures after.

If one of the two main protagonists already looks this rough in official footage, what does that say about the rest of the game? I'm genuinely starting to worry that GTA 6 won't be as polished as everyone expects. Please tell me I'm not the only one noticing this because it's honestly killing my hype.

Or has all the leaks and videos been on pc?

Gta has always been an immersive experience where the world reacts to what you do in the game.

Creating chaos or even casually playing through the story is a unique experience. Developing a game of such vast detail and size requires immense dedication which no other studio can do. Even other games Cyberpunk 2077 struggles to keep up with their bugs and development issues. Just because gta is an enjoyable piece of media for non-gaming communities doesn't mean that the other niche games are not good. Every other post about gta 6 is larping about how the other game is better and that the hype is about to die down because it will flop.

How can you judge an entire game if you've not even played it?

I'm not trying to defend rockstar but think about how much the devs have invested their creativity into the game, just from the trailers and all the countless interviews and articles published. They deserve appreciation for their efforts.
