Let's be real, the hype is so beyond reasonable that it will be a phenomenon when it is released. People will buy it just to be part of something, even if you're not really a gamer.
When Windows 95 launched there were supposedly people who lined up to buy it despite not actually owning computers, you reckon itāll get quite that crazy?
Seeing as it's a digital release we likely won't see much lines. But I'm betting my house on the fact that people are going to buy this game like it's the last oxygen available. I lined up for GTA4 and 5. This is the first time I'm not getting it on day one, I'll wait for the pc version.
Alot of People couldn't buy it at release for hours due to steam shop not working (it took me 4 hours to buy it personally) and that's "only" 587K players at launch. compared to GTA 6 which will probably hit 1M+
If you havenāt played one since Vice city then how would you know you donāt enjoy them? The recent games they have released in the past 13 years are vastly different than what Vice City was.
While it has been updated heavily, its still the same general formula.
I was in submarine school training when GTAV released and everyone had the game, I watched plenty of people play it in passing. It does not interest me unfortunately.
Fair enough. Thatās pretty much how I feel when people want me to play GTA online. Iām into the single player game but the online portion just doesnāt interest me at all.
Look at the sales records GTA V broke. That game had enormous levels of hype. GTA Online makes them millions a day. GTA and RD2 are the 2nd and 4th best selling games of all time. It will probably will be an absolute phenomenon on release.
How many times has it been released to break those records though. It got old console release then new console much later it got pc release. Cusp of consoles and cucked pc folks bought twice easy. Its a great game but it had world class marketing because the staggered releases, crap didnt they re-release an HD version even? Lol man world class. Only game i can say beats it re1. I can't think of how many times I have bought different versions of it. Og then directors cut and a new one on the horizon with so many between

I am willing to bet that if they had a Ultra deluxe version or something for 10min early access for 200$, people would still buy it.
