Log inA Poll: Excitement
A while back I did a casual poll on where people found the CS games initially. I'd like to do a few more polls, occasionally, on general things. Many aren't specific to development of the CS games, but more to the general opinions of people playing and buying games in general. Promise I won't spam these, but it's useful to have some insight into where people are coming from. With that in mind:
The release of GTA 6 isn't far off now, and much more is known about appearance, size, gameplay, story, characters and so on. This being the case, how excited are you for its (GTAs) release?:

I thought this was about the next CS chapter and was so confused on the poll results ;_;
I clarified the text once already ya goof! But I'll make it even more clear here, don't want to alarm people.
I'll be taking time off for "WoW: Forever" instead lol
I don't know enough about modern day WoW/Blizzard to know if this is a joke or not, but what I have heard isn't great.
honestly, i enjoyed GTA 5 as a singleplayer experience, but the multiplayer lost it's spark for me in the same way RDR2's multiplayer did as it became clear to me that they were being optimized for siphoning money from players rather than providing enjoyable grinds and gameplay ^^; (those stupid flying missile-launching bikes were the final nail in the coffin for me though XD, cant even enjoy public free-roam anymore and i dont have enough gaming buddies to have fun with a closed free-roam)
GTA6, i honestly feel pretty meh about it, im in my 30's and i work full time, it could be the greatest game in the world and i'd simply not have the time or the energy to devote to playing it most days, and if i got bored at any point i'd likely start another Fallout NV playthrough that i never finish either lol <3 also, i'll bet my old Xbox 1 from 2015 wont even be able to play it. i see no need to replace a perfectly working console for a full-scale game im only vaguely interested in. and i havnt pre-ordered or even day-1 purchased a new game since... Fallout 4?? damn i feel old ^^;
short, engaging indie games, especially NSFW games are a lot more my speed these days, something i can play for a bit, reach satisfaction, and then put down for my other, more physical hobbies that i also enjoy in my limited spare time. then on another evening i can easily pick it up again to chase the next hot scene!
i think it'll be a huge hit for plenty of other people, and i might pick it up if my older console dies and i decide to get a new one whenever that happens. but i'm legitimately more excited for games in development like your game Cruel Serenade <3, or the other 5-10 indie nsfw games i follow and play rather than most things mainstream ^w^ <3 <3
Feeling a lot of the same, which I'll get into more in an eventual followup post on Itch, but one thing I keep coming back to is "who is this game for?" Olds? Doesn't seem like it. Youngs that have never even heard of GTA? Seems like a rough sell. Braindead paypigs? Good luck competing with Genshin Impact and all the others. Very strange.
I think the hype around its release feels kind of artificial/overblown? I was just kind of thinking "I might play it someday".
Whoops I thought I would get another line! I was going to say: Then I heard about their recent union busting in the developer office and I have negative excitement to say the least.
Just missed this poll lol, but I'm really looking forward to GTA VI! Though since I don't have a Playstation or xBox I'll have to wait for the PC release anyway. I don't think I'm gonna be able to resist spoiling the entire plot for me by watching clips on YouTube xD
Hey, fair enough. Unfortunately though, if past experience is anything to go by, you'll be waiting a while.
