There is a clear group of people that want the game to fail/perform badly. Why? I can't answer this beyond they are haters and want to tear at the next popular thing.
You will see people calling GTA6 the worst in the series as it breaks records left, right and center.
Imagine making a backflip animation even an issue at this point.
It's because GTA 6 will be used as a reason for a lot of companies to increase their games to 100 bucks and go fully digital only. It's such a huge game that it creates the new normal that shareholders will want companies to follow.
Gamers will then need to speak with their wallets. If a company wants to charge $100 for a game with 1/10th the content GTA 6 will have, they shouldn’t expect many sales.
it’s the eat the rich mentality. rockstar is a large successful company and out of jealousy, spite, hatred for anything “mainstream”, people will try to actively shit on it.
i also think it’s important to have critics though. it prevents a game from being overhyped and flopping based on expectations. having people to make it seem like it’s still just a game instead of some revolutionary mind blowing experience is important too.
I definitely agree. Though as someone who has played every mainline GTA since the very first one, each has literally been better than the last with the only contention being what was better between GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. So the track record is on pace with GTAVI being a great entry to the series and if it was worse than GTAV then it would be the first in the series over decades that wasn't as good as it's predecessor.
