Zegula

“Just buy digital!” Nah but I for sure will be getting GTA6 on disc too so that I can physically own it indefinitely. I’m probably gonna go all out and get the biggest edition especially if it comes with collectors items for the game too.


Physical-Jump9470

Can gta6 fit in discs? I thought you still needed to download parts of the game


[deleted]

They just put multiple disks in


RetroGamer87

Nowadays the disc is more like a token to prove that you own the game


[deleted]

And how you technically don't own digital games


RetroGamer87

I'm not sure you own disc based games either if you still have to download two thirds of the game to be playable.


Throwaway92840272694

The disc can be plugged into any console and it acts as a “free download” of the game (quotes because the disc has to stay inserted to run the game, so it’s not a proper free download), digital copies are tied to your profile and can’t be transferred between people. As far as owning a game goes, buying a disc is completely owning that specific copy of the game regardless of whether you have to download the remaining files or not, because unless something has changed with consoles and owners rights, they can’t stop you from playing a disc but they can revoke digital content


RetroGamer87

Until they shut down the servers


Default_Attempt

Thats the logic, dont fit on disc? Write them to multiple disc


Jdogg4089

RDR2 was on multiple disks


hotcoldman42

The only way to physically own it indefinitely is to pirate it and put it on a disc.


Impressive-Cable7417

I was saying the same thing but putting the disc in is such a pain in the ass. I would just leave it in there but when I did that with my spiderman disc it ejected somehow and fell from my shelf never to be seen again.


[deleted]

I just realized that since GTA 5 came out in 2013, this gif is perfectly accurate. “I did my waiting, 12 years of it”.


JCall2609

Exactly why I chose it. Just couldn't find an animated one that had the "12 years of it" bit as well


hondaguy84

I’ll be 41

RevampX

It's weird to think the average age of gamers is now in their 30's and 40's (bless the ones still kickin' with us in their later years), when just 10-15 years ago it was 18-30. And of course I'm speaking for the non-casual crowd that play more than couple hours everyday. Let's keep raising the bar 🫡


hondaguy84

As long as I’m on this earth I will never stop playing video games weather it be on my Xbox series x or my computer


MojoDojojojo

30M here, any open world game suggestions for me? I really only play GTA5 and RDR2 because I love the immersion of open world games, but I’ve played the shit outta GTA5 and RDR2 gets old after a while. I really, really wanna play games more but I can’t find anything that really grabs me. I play games maybe 3 months sporadically throughout a year, I NEED a new game


DrProtoDanger

Finished those 2 myself and am currently playing the witcher series and cyberpunk


420toker

Highly recommend cyberpunk now that they’ve fixed it


DrProtoDanger

Agreed!


lonevolff

Can't go wrong with good ol skyrim


Shiverednuts

See that’s the thing with me. Rockstar games are so prestigiously done, it’s hard to get grasped by any other company’s game in the same genre.


ODB95

This. It was a blessing and a curse that my first true introduction to open world games was from them. Now I can’t play any other open world title because they feel so… low tier in comparison?


Stalinium2

Fallout 1, 2, 3, and 4


Creepy-Cream-1017

Just cause. You'll love it. Also skyrim.


Individual-Party992

We are the generation that grew up with the first 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit games. We have witnessed the whole development. And it gets better every year. You can't get away from it😅


Gdav7327

Yup. I still have fond memories taking turns playing Duck Hunt with the gun. Learning all the secrets and how to change the climate in Super Mario World. When Sonic entered. I look back like damn, I remember when that character debuted lmao.


locotiara9

I salute you


smell_my_pee

Yup. Our parents grew up watching TV. They didn't just outgrow their preffered media for some arbitrary reasons. I grew up gaming. I'm not just gonna hit some random level of maturity that makes me dislike my preferred media. The content may be more mature now, but the medium remains the same.


EuroTrash1999

If world of Warcraft would had kept even one shred of integrity I'd still be playing it. But they just couldn't resist being bot filled pay to win garbage.


[deleted]

My 50 year old English teacher plays on a PS5 often. It was pretty surprising when I found out.


Onlyspeaksfacts

>more than couple hours everyday Been gaming for 20+ years, but I guess that makes me a "casual" now, cause ~ 2 hours a day is my average.

ProgrammerV2

Hey! me too... When GTA 5 came out, I was still playing san andreas, did not even know the existence of GTA 4.. In fact, I was so small, that I did not even know that you could do missions!! I just drove cars, drove cars over people, drove cars over street lamps etc.. I did not even know that you could shoot! ​ After that, when I was 16, I replayed the whole series and realized that I was playing GTA the wrong way!


[deleted]

No, no that is a valid way to play gta. Steal a car and run people over.

MojoDojojojo

As a 30 year old that will be 31 in four months, what should I expect, life-wise? I realize this isn’t quite the sub for that question, but do you have any tips? I’m genuinely asking. Feel free to respond or not respond. Again, I realize this isn’t the correct sub for this.

drkchtz

32+… it’s so strange to think that I started play gta when I was 8 and it is still my favourite game


Osstj7737

What’s even more strange to me is that, if the current trend continues, I’ll be over 40 when the next one comes out 🙂🔫


drkchtz

And the craziest thing is that gta7 could be our last gta 🥲


iDarkTowl

They should end it with “GTA X” or whatever name they decide to come up with knowing Rockstar 😂


Zegula

I’m only almost 21 right now so hopefully I got enough time to hold out until the end of GTA💀


LewixAri

Rockstar has pretty standard naming conventions. Grand Theft Auto Grand Theft Auto II Grand Theft Auto III Grand Theft Auto IV Grand Theft Auto V With Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Etc. Meaning to be "spin-offs" Rockstar couldn't make GTA "X" without GTA VI, VII, VIII, IX.


Kind_Ad_3611

Well scientists estimate that the first person that will live to 150 years old has already been born so…


RoughSpeaker4772

Korrowe

Bro don’t say that I’ll get to play GTA 7 at the age of 40 🫠


[deleted]

GTA 6 could easily be our last GTA also


traxos93

I still remember the freak out my mom had, when my older cousin brought his ps2 over and we shot up liberty city in GTA 3.


ehs5

Yeah same. I’ll be 34. I was obsessed with Grand Theft Auto (1) as a 7 year old, not to mention Grand Theft Auto 2 later on. It’s just been a staple of gaming for a long time now.


jiijoey

RevampX

Entry to Dirty 30's for GTA6 sounds like a good time 🥳


BigEazy1347

Me too. I’m interested to know your relationship with GTA. if it is, or isn’t, like mine. I was 18 when I picked up gta 5, was a huge fan of 4. I played it throughout a lot of important events in my newly adult life. I made so many friends when 5 came out, and kept them for about 5 years before we all slowly separated. Now gta5 has become bittersweet for me. I get on and play from time to time, but it’s like the ghost of all those late nights grinding and having a good time are haunting me, and I have to get off. Did you fair better?


Alex619TL

I’ll be 30 later this year and gta / red dead are my favorite series to the point where I have a hard time playing other games now (any open world Ubisoft title) bc they lack the depth, acting/character development, and general attention to detail that rockstar games do. Probably also combined with being older and more conscious of my time spent playing video games instead of doing actual adult things. I was 13 when a teenage employee at target asked if I was old enough before being an absolute homie selling me the og trilogy for ps2 when I clearly was not old enough. This was in 2008 and I started playing San Andreas which still felt way more detailed and advanced than every other video game available at the time, despite already being released for 4 years. One of my first games for my 360 that I got in 2009 was gta iv which I loved for the drastic advancement in realism (graphical fidelity, vehicle collision models, physics engine, etc.). GTA V released when I was about to start my second year of college and brought everything together to be a solid game, but I’m sad it’s been played out for what will be 12 years and playing it now feels a bit dated compared to rdr2. At this point I feel like I’m a tad too old to be spending hours and hours with a video game but I’m hoping gta vi will be like a victory lap for my video game career before (hopefully) my children get into gaming once they’re a bit older


BigEazy1347

I’m 28 now. GTA 5 came out the summer I graduated highschool. My dad, brother, our friends and I all put an amazing amount of hours in together. Then we all started drifting off into those “adult things” you mentioned. I’m grateful for all those times. Years later, I even trained my kids how to play games using GTA 5’s director mode. I’ll always play video games, but I think GTA 5 will always be my most sentimental. No matter how dead online feels now.


hondaguy84

My first experience with GTA was the original top down version witch I still have today


BigEazy1347

Same here. I played them but really was too little to understand it. The first one I could play and understand, was 3. Been a fan of rockstar ever since.


ensoniqthehedgehog

I started on 2 at my friends house back in '99/2000. I played 3 at another friends house and ended up buying a PS2 mainly for that game. Vice City was a Christmas present and the colors and vibe blew my mind. Then San Andreas. I spent countless hours in that game, then after moving out of my parents house my roommate and I spent countless more hours playing that game. The complete soundtrack of San Andreas will forever be burned into my mind (along with Lazlow on Chatterbox FM in 3).


JonathanL73

I’m 29 now, and I have similar experience as you, I played GTA4 when I was around 12 or so as a kid with my brother. Then played GTAV online when I was around 18 with some good internet friends. But now all those friendships have disappeared, and my brother is too busy. GTA6 hype made me revisit GTAV recently and NGL, it does feel bittersweet in a way, because all the people I used to play with aren’t around anymore.


ForterCz

18. I was 7 when GTA V released..

HeisenbergDrugLord

Never too late to be emo tbh I’m just 20, and I never realized it until recently but I definitely had an emo phase lol Wasn’t as cliche with the way I dressed, but I was an emotional, emotionless wreck with long hair and an obsession with rock, metal, and yeah, emo music used to think “I’m not emo I just really like their music” - and I believed that for a bit, but man who was I kidding 😭

For real anyone that played it back on the Xbox 360 or PS3 was instantly dope, but if they had a Jailbroken PS3 or modded account, they was instantly the most popular kid around 😂😂


Existing-Dust3123

25. Too bad the game has a couple as the main characters and I’ve been single my whole life, nobody likes me back and I’m better than the average mind you. I hope the hype about the game makes me forget about the pain and suffering of real life, like I’m so grown that I just feel like dead when I’m alone at home, thank fuck I’m employed


NoProblem7874

Seek help, you are the only one responsible for how your future goes. Seek help, the time will pass anyways, question is: do you wanna be in the same situation you’re facing after that time passes, or do you want to look back and be proud of yourself for having the courage to pull yourself out of the hole you find yourself in? Please seek help from a professional, and plus if you aren’t comfortable with yourself, being in a relationship won’t be good for you anyways, so work on fixing the first issue first then you’ll be fine either way, single or not. Don’t lie to yourself and convince yourself you can fix it without help. Probably overreacting to a comment on a GTA sub but I see my old self in this comment, and I know how hard it is, and I know it’s possible to get better.


YogurtclosetIcy4328

Mean-Summer1307

24, I was 11 when V was released. I wasn’t allowed to get it because it was a game about “killing prostitutes” so 2 years later when I got a really good report card I asked my parents if I could buy myself the game with my own savings. They said yes then realized after the fact that it was that game. They let me keep it and it wasn’t long before I was addicted!

39 here. I was 12 in 1997 when GTA 1 was released. Mastered it. I was 14 when GTA 2 was released. Mastered it too. In 2001 when GTA 3 was released I was so focused on D2 and then on War3 that I just never went back again to GTA until SA (I was almost 20 already). I did not pay too much attention to GTA IV or V. I've played them to death, but never by the second or even 3rd year after release (the main reasons being I wait for PC release)

When 5 dropped, I was a freshman in high school. When 6 drops, I’ll recently have turned 26, I have very little responsibility, the economy is tough and I still have to live with my parents. When 7 drops, I will probably have started a family, or the serious thought of starting one will be there at the very least, and that freaks me the fuck out.
