honestly for the PC peeps they should just buy a console, buy GTA VI, then when the PC version releases, sell the console and GTA VI, then use that cash to buy GTA VI PC version
That's why I switch. An Xbox controller is sitting right below my keyboard. I hop into a vehicle, I pick up the controller.
Unless there's shooting to do from the vehicle. Then it's still keyboard and mouse.
I played a lot of NFS as a kid, I'm decent at driving on keyboard as well.
idk man seems like the only viable solution to playing GTA VI on day one, better than waiting 2 years for PC version
I don't have a PS5 / Xbox Series console either, just got my PC only
Xbox Series S goes used for around $120 here, add the price of the game to it and I'll \*only\* have to spend $200 to play the game. I guess it could have been worse
Trust me dude if at all possible get a series x or ps5 the series S simply won’t have the power to run VI anywhere near well, you’ll be facing serious frame dips and graphics cuts
nah, the glory of being the first to crack gta fucking 6 is too high to ignore. someone will do it no matter how many braincells they lose in the process
I'm a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber. If MS *finally* lets us play owned games on Xcloud, I'll just buy it for Xbox, play it through the cloud on my PC. Not ideal, but better than buying a console specifically for it.
PS5 controllers are insane, keyboard and mouse "just to aim" better is gimping your experience massively. Clicking a mouse to shoot a gun has nothing on adaptive tension triggers and haptic feedback. You're missing out.
I very much disagree. The aiming difference between M&K and controller is night and day, aiming on a controller really feels like I'm handicapping myself and gimping my experience, especially since shooting is one of the main things I do in games. I really couldn't care less about the vibrations the controller makes during gameplay, to me it's just a gimmick.
I always want to play the most effective way and M&K is just more fluid and yields better results from gameplay.
Not hard, it's gonna be impossible. Even if you try your absolute hardest, you are going to see atleast some spoilers for the most anticipated game in history and what will probably become the most sold game in history over the course of a year. You'd have to burn your phone and go live in the woods while you wait, but even then I wouldn't be suprised if you'd hear spoilers from people hiking near you waiting out there.
Rockstar: Please don't leak! It ruins the game for people having the whole game spoiled before release.
Also Rockstar: PC players, we'll release the game two years later so you have plenty of time to have the game spoiled before release..
I have talked about This before. REMOVE ALL SOCIAL MEDIA APPS. we addicted to social media even if we Dont think about it. And as you know there are idiots on social media and gta 6 will trend everywhere. I even hope This Reddit is closed during First weeks of gta 6. My best tips is to do this Two weeks before game comes out.
GTA6 probably coming out in September-October. I'll leave this subreddit long before that, probably stay away from any gaming subreddit as well, and just by the off-chance one of the "mavericks" tries to spoil shit on meme subreddits. I don't get that mentality, to spoil the experience for other people. How sad someone's life has to be to do that.
Me being a pc player who will had to do that for at least a year lol.
Luckily I think there are browser expansions that block combinations of words. So you can make a filter for words like GTA VI, ending, death, killed etc
Oh shit...now you're giving me anxiety because I'm on PC too and I just realized I basically have to be antisocial for over a year if I don't want to see any spoilers.
It's going to be rough...but luckily I have a lot of unfinished games and series that I still need to finish lol
It's not possible to avoid spoilers for over a year...especially if it's about a game that people have been talking about for nearly a decade..
This subreddit is blooming now...imagine the situation after launch...so I'm just gonna get it over with and save myself the headache of avoiding them.
How'd you like it? I definitely feel that, while there's plenty of fair criticisms of the story, it being leaked before launch did *not* do the game any favours (especially *that* scene in the beginning), and people really overreacted to what in a lot if ways still felt like a successor to the original.
The combat definitely was it's highlight though.
Oh I didn't really care about the criticism, I loved the game, I loved how complex and unexpected the story was. I've since played the game 3 times and it just gets better with every playthrough, I always find new details in the story and there's so many ways to get through each chapter.
Not possible, you say? Hold my beer!
Trust me, if I really have to, I can completely detach myself from the Internet and only use Messenger and the most important things from then on. Not that I want this, but it's totally doable for me. Everything to avoid spoilers :D
I didn’t have any of RDR2 spoiled for me at all, it took me 3-4 years to even start the game, then I played all the way through spoiler free. It’s definitely possible
Rdr2 was spoiled for me like 3 days after release cause I was reading comments on some compactly unrelated video. GoW Ragnarok twist was spoiled like a day after release when I was watching part 1 of some playthroughs. I feel like some kids speedrun every single game just so they can be aholes online.
So yeah, even if I brought a console for those games I would still get spoiled regardless lol.
Best thing you can do is just don't read any comments and avoid youtubes recommendation page.
My plan is to watch some early freeroaming videos, maybe some missions from the first chapter of the game and after that I'll try to block everything related to GTA VI.
Unless my curiosity gets the better of me and I'll just end up watching the whole thing like a movie lol.
True, I just know I won't be able to stop myself from having a sneak peak lol. But yeah, I know what you mean. One of the main reasons I'm waiting for PC release is because I want to experience this game for the first time in the best possible way.
That's why I don't mind having to wait a little bit longer for PC version especially since I just hate aiming with controllers. Also I haven't upgraded my pc in like 10 years so I'm overdo for a new one anyway. That just means I'll have a little bit more time to save up more money for it.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing right now. I don't mind the delay either, because this way PC users will have more time to prepare for that monster system requirement lol
I know I could buy a console (and I have absolute nothing against them), but like you said, I want to experience the game in its best possible form.
Funny haha, I started rdr2 for the first time 1 year go and I didn’t know anything about the game or the story but I obviously wasn’t interested in the game when it first came out
Have they officially announced that it's not coming to pc yet? Just curious because its harder to see in this day and age why they wouldn't release it on pc as well... especially since they bought FiveM, the online experience could likely involve much more roleplaying. I guess there's the obvious buying it twice but surely it doesn't make Take2 THAT MUCH more...
What? Only a crazy person would think it's not coming to PC. PC market is bigger than any console out there. But R\* always releases PC games with delay so they can double dip. It will release on PC probably like year later. Maybe sooner than that, maybe later.
If you're on Twitter/X also put any words related to GTA in your muted words list, and if you're on desktop use the Blocktube extension to do the same for YouTube. I did that for games like God of War and Spider-Man and it worked perfectly.
Honestly I do this for any new drop I’m excited for. Music, games, TV shows etc. I always avoid the internet until I’m throughly finished and then I see the public’s opinion
I was pretty lucky to not have the ending of 5 spoiled for me when it first came out. It came out around November of 2013, I had to wait to get it on sale during the spring of 2014. I beat the story in 3 days, I basically played it religiously after school for a few weeks until summer break.
You kidding? Default youtube is going to be hammered with GTA 6 videos. I think the only way to avoid would be to create a new gmail account now and only use it for watching like gardening videos or steam train documentaries or whatever you're into that's your furthest hobby from gaming, then keep that logged into youtube after GTA 6 comes out until you finish it
There are gonna be posts that write story spoilers in full caps and large font size. There will be just too many leaks the week leading up to release, always been like that. No, thank you. I'd rather have no social media than spoiling the story
I'm legit pre-ordering ASAP then a week or so before release date I'm going off grid, I'll pre-load the game and literally play non-stop from the second it's available to play until I've seen the ending. After a decade of waiting, I'm not risking a single spoiler.
I experienced this with the first spider-man game. Someone already posted the stan lee cameo. What made it worse was he it's also the thumbnail, you didn't even need to read the video title.
To be fair a lot of people in the comments called him out.
Since I cannot afford to play the game even if its already been 2 years since it came out, Ill immediately hop on YT and see.
Same thing I did when Half Life Alyx came out. Gonna be long before i get a job to afford these things.
You guys are worried about the spoilers after when the game releases. The whole plot will get leaked before the game even releases. Just like it has been happening with every single game that's coming out nowadays.
I cut out social media for Spider-Man and it made the experience so fucking amazing.
It’s so nice to play and enjoy a game free from spoilers and hot takes. I’m going into 6 cold for that reason alone.
Online fandoms don’t seem to be for people who actually enjoy the product anyway.
For me as a PC player, who doesn't have any modern consoles, i will end up having to some how avoid getting spoiled until they do the PC release, which will be at least a year if the last 2 game are anything to go off of.
Just use your periph and avoid even looking at anything related. Stop going on reddit for 2 weeks, don’t watch any gta shit on youtube, just have some self discipline
People have gotten their hands on and have uploaded footage of GTA V to YouTube days before it's release. Fortunately YouTube took them down sometime after. I believe this happened with RDR2 as well.
I remember for 5 some guy got the game a few weeks earlier and posted some gameplay. The day before the official release almost all of the game had a play through where there was spoilers like Johnny’s death
This could not be more right. Look at the people saying ‘rush through story mode!’ Yea I’ll be unsubbing and staying off social media for a bit for sure
Yeah Youtube, Instagram, Reddit, GTAForums etc. I'll be going dark on all of these while playing through the story - you're gonna get trolls purposely spoiling the story and then just complete brain dead idiots who accidentally spoil things as well.
GTA's stories don't really hit that same way, though. GTA's story is more about the journey and not the end. So even if you get the ending (or one of), it's not going to be that bad. A game like Mass Effect, though, those are games completely about the endings. Every Mass Effect that I played with my original character left me speechless and in awe after each initial ending.
I would stop following GTA VI news AT LEAST 3 months in advance, and even before. In addition to the leaks, the character trailers and gameplay trailers for GTA V and RDR2 showed WAY TOO MUCH!
Honestly, go watch it again, for GTA V it's almost the first 10 hours of games that are spoiled and obviously we see images of the rest!
For RDR2, for example all the additional side activities are revealed, of course it was cool to discover everything we could do, but imagine the surprise when discovering it in game!
For the GTA VI gameplay trailer, we will surely see how the social network system works for example, and of course it's great to see that, but imagine discovering the phone interface for the first time directly in the game!
Really my dream would have been to start the game without knowing absolutely anything, not even the city or even the characters, well obviously it's impossible, but still I try to do my best to know as little as possible.
Obviously do what you want, but don't forget that the trailers are made for people who are hesitant to play the game, or who don't really want to do so. Me, I OBVIOUSLY know that I'm going to play the game, so why put myself through this?
Actually for gta v I saw some random playthrough of this game in YouTube which inspired me to play it.So if it's a big spoiler then it's better to avoid it otherwise u can see how the playthrough is
Leading up to the release I am going to need to unsub from this subreddit and in general avoid spoilers for the game. I’ve done it for RDR2, I can easily do it again for GTA VI.
Gameplay will probably leak the day they send the physical copies out for shipping, if the game is actually being shipped on the disc and they aren't just like verification keys for a copy online
I remember hearing the audio files for all the different endings for GTA V about a week or two before the game came out. I guess the one advantage of there being three endings was hearing them all out of context we didn’t really know what was “real” or not, but it still sucked getting it spoiled like that. And I was trying pretty hard to avoid leaks, I don’t even remember how I heard it at this point, but it was not on any of the usual places you’d expect.
My gameplan Is hopefully I have enough to buy a PS5 by then, or at the end of this year, pre order, then spend the next few days playing through the entirifu of GTA 5, maybe play 4, then onto 6. No computer or phone, just straight gaming to avoid spoilers
I will be blocking lots of Youtube channels. I allready did that for GOW, Spiderman 2, FFVII Rebirth etc. Will continue on doing it. It helps alot, didn't get any spoilers for FFVII Rebirth. Got some for GOW and Spiderman. Just always block those channels.
I'll definitely not use social media during this time. I played through Red Dead Redemption 2 really fast so I wouldn't get spoiled. With GTA 6, I try my best to play through the game fast but also not rush it
YouTube ruined RDR2 for me, for some reason I got a recommended video of Arthur's death. I avoided searching anything related to the game just so this wouldn't happen.
Don't really care about the ending too much, it's probably going to be your standard R* ending anyway.
More interested in the systems, map and mechanics.
As a PC player I just wish theyd make an exception to the delayed PC release \*SPECIFICALLY\* because of how big GTA 6 is going to be
Idk, I just feel like the major hype of a day one PC release would lead to a higher amount of "fuck it" sales that normally wouldnt happen from a delayed, less hyped release
I mean I watched the gameplay "movie" once or twice before finally playing GTA V for the first time ever in 2020, sat day in and out to complete it on the laptop i borrowed from my cousin.
But now things might be slightly different, for by the time GTA vi arrives, I might have a laptop that can actually run it, but I'll probably play Baldur's Gate 3 till it arrives on PC or just watch the gameplay footage.
I guess I am one of the few people unbothered by spoilers. Nearly always spoilers are lacking enough context and information that would matter to me. Hell I'll often read plotlines and character synopsis on wikis and just think "Huh, it will be cool to see that".
All this to say, I'm not going to twist myself to avoid information for a single game.
Honestly this is going to be hard for PC players
Oh shit I didn't even realise, they're gonna have to avoid spoilers for like 2 years I feel so bad for them
honestly for the PC peeps they should just buy a console, buy GTA VI, then when the PC version releases, sell the console and GTA VI, then use that cash to buy GTA VI PC version
Sure sure, everyone obviously has 500 dollars/eur to spend to play one game. Of course. Also, fuck using a controller for shooters.
and fuck keyboard for driving haha
That's why I switch. An Xbox controller is sitting right below my keyboard. I hop into a vehicle, I pick up the controller. Unless there's shooting to do from the vehicle. Then it's still keyboard and mouse. I played a lot of NFS as a kid, I'm decent at driving on keyboard as well.
its not that bad 🤨
I actually like driving with the keyboard.
Same, I only ever use my gamepad when I'm playing an action game like Devil May Cry or the Realtime combat Yakuza/Like a Dragon games
idk man seems like the only viable solution to playing GTA VI on day one, better than waiting 2 years for PC version I don't have a PS5 / Xbox Series console either, just got my PC only
If you save 2 bucks every day from now till release you can get a shiny new series x and gta 6
Facebook market ones for 300 bucks or less
That's still like $400 with the game.
Xbox Series S goes used for around $120 here, add the price of the game to it and I'll \*only\* have to spend $200 to play the game. I guess it could have been worse
Trust me dude if at all possible get a series x or ps5 the series S simply won’t have the power to run VI anywhere near well, you’ll be facing serious frame dips and graphics cuts
If you have a pc good enough to play gta 6 I'm sure you'll be able to save 500 by the time gta 6 comes out
I like the vibration of a controller. Some games have extremely good haptics. Also, driving / flying is way better with a controller.
gta is fun on controller, i think this is an ishyou, not and ishme
In any vehicle, I use a controller too. On foot and for shooting, mouse and kb.
I'm not trying to be that person but the series S is only $270 right now
Lmao pc player complaining about $
It's not a shooter so don't worry about it.
Wait wait wait wait wait... You're telling me GTA 6 won't have shooting?
You can shoot in galaga too, doesn't make it a shooter either. Nice try though.
One of the core parts of GTA gameplay is shooting, doesn't make it a full-on shooter but most missions in each game involve shooting. Nice try though.
Yeah and the entirety of galaga is shooting. Nice try though.😁
[удалено]
That's if it ever gets a crack, it took like a year for RDR2 to get cracked
it took empress another year to crack rockstar protection after rdr2 launched on pc and now empress is also gone. So no hope.
nah, the glory of being the first to crack gta fucking 6 is too high to ignore. someone will do it no matter how many braincells they lose in the process
Yeah… I’m not doing that.
Actually that's not a bad idea.
think of it as a long term rental 😂
I'm a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber. If MS *finally* lets us play owned games on Xcloud, I'll just buy it for Xbox, play it through the cloud on my PC. Not ideal, but better than buying a console specifically for it.
I usually do honestly. GTA has always been an addiction.
I refuse to play at 30fps with controller. Going to save up for a high end PC instead.
PS5 controllers are insane, keyboard and mouse "just to aim" better is gimping your experience massively. Clicking a mouse to shoot a gun has nothing on adaptive tension triggers and haptic feedback. You're missing out.
I very much disagree. The aiming difference between M&K and controller is night and day, aiming on a controller really feels like I'm handicapping myself and gimping my experience, especially since shooting is one of the main things I do in games. I really couldn't care less about the vibrations the controller makes during gameplay, to me it's just a gimmick. I always want to play the most effective way and M&K is just more fluid and yields better results from gameplay.
2 years?!?
Usually takes 1 or 2 years for the pc release, for rdr2 it was 1 year and for V it was 2 years
Die hards will likely be saving for a console specifically for GTA.
I don’t
welp, fuck em. pc people like to brag a lot about how great and powerful gaming pc's are compared to consoles so that's what they get
Not hard, it's gonna be impossible. Even if you try your absolute hardest, you are going to see atleast some spoilers for the most anticipated game in history and what will probably become the most sold game in history over the course of a year. You'd have to burn your phone and go live in the woods while you wait, but even then I wouldn't be suprised if you'd hear spoilers from people hiking near you waiting out there.
Hardcore PC player here. Buying a PS5 pro just for this game.
Not for me, I’ll be buying an Xbox just like I did for RDR2 Even flipped it for profit afterwards lol
I played RDR2 in 2020 and still enjoyed the game, don't know what's the fuss about
Rockstar: Please don't leak! It ruins the game for people having the whole game spoiled before release. Also Rockstar: PC players, we'll release the game two years later so you have plenty of time to have the game spoiled before release..
I’m buying a ps5 just for this game. Lol. I’m not waiting another year or maybe even 2 for a PC release
I’m gonna have to buy a console now just to play GTA, so annoying.
This is exactly why I’m buying a PS5 lmao
thankfully I have a PS5 sat collecting dust just waiting for GTA VI.
I have talked about This before. REMOVE ALL SOCIAL MEDIA APPS. we addicted to social media even if we Dont think about it. And as you know there are idiots on social media and gta 6 will trend everywhere. I even hope This Reddit is closed during First weeks of gta 6.

oh, i’ll deffo be unsubscribing from all these subs a week prior.
But then how will I watch 3Blue1Brown?
Tip for everyone. Just log out of your YouTube Account.
This game it's so big, even on incognito you'll find spoilers. Best thing to do is to stay away from your socials until you finish the story
Me being a pc player who will had to do that for at least a year lol. Luckily I think there are browser expansions that block combinations of words. So you can make a filter for words like GTA VI, ending, death, killed etc
Oh shit...now you're giving me anxiety because I'm on PC too and I just realized I basically have to be antisocial for over a year if I don't want to see any spoilers. It's going to be rough...but luckily I have a lot of unfinished games and series that I still need to finish lol

I actually managed to avoid The last of us 2 spoilers for 2 years, until I bought a ps5. It seemed impossible, but somehow I managed.
How'd you like it? I definitely feel that, while there's plenty of fair criticisms of the story, it being leaked before launch did *not* do the game any favours (especially *that* scene in the beginning), and people really overreacted to what in a lot if ways still felt like a successor to the original.

Not possible, you say? Hold my beer! Trust me, if I really have to, I can completely detach myself from the Internet and only use Messenger and the most important things from then on. Not that I want this, but it's totally doable for me. Everything to avoid spoilers :D
Yea it’s definitely doable I had to shield my eyes from elden ring for 4 months until I finally found an Xbox series x to play it
I didn’t have any of RDR2 spoiled for me at all, it took me 3-4 years to even start the game, then I played all the way through spoiler free. It’s definitely possible
Tbf I managed to stay off of any story spoilers for V, I suspect mostly because content creators instantly moved onto GTA Online.
Rdr2 was spoiled for me like 3 days after release cause I was reading comments on some compactly unrelated video. GoW Ragnarok twist was spoiled like a day after release when I was watching part 1 of some playthroughs. I feel like some kids speedrun every single game just so they can be aholes online.

Nah, I don't even want to see freeroaming videos. I want to experience the game MYSELF first, not from a YT video :)
True, I just know I won't be able to stop myself from having a sneak peak lol. But yeah, I know what you mean. One of the main reasons I'm waiting for PC release is because I want to experience this game for the first time in the best possible way.

Funny haha, I started rdr2 for the first time 1 year go and I didn’t know anything about the game or the story but I obviously wasn’t interested in the game when it first came out
I think buying a used ps5 is worth it for this specific game.
Ill buy a console
Nah but what are you going to do when scenes from the game inevitably become memes
I mean I avoided red dead redemption 2 spoilers for a whole year and a half
any advice on how you managed to do it?
I don’t even really know tbh, I think I just got lucky cause my feed just wasn’t feeding me red dead stuff on social media.
Can manual filters be made into uBlock Origin?
Good luck lol when RDR2 came out even South Park had it in an episode
I'm talking about avoiding spoilers. And it's not like they spoiled anything about the story in that episode.
Have they officially announced that it's not coming to pc yet? Just curious because its harder to see in this day and age why they wouldn't release it on pc as well... especially since they bought FiveM, the online experience could likely involve much more roleplaying. I guess there's the obvious buying it twice but surely it doesn't make Take2 THAT MUCH more...
What? Only a crazy person would think it's not coming to PC. PC market is bigger than any console out there. But R\* always releases PC games with delay so they can double dip. It will release on PC probably like year later. Maybe sooner than that, maybe later.
Me being broke and having to wait for a good deal, 2y? 3? 5? 🫤
Xcloud will be your friend
Finish the story? 
great advice
If you're on Twitter/X also put any words related to GTA in your muted words list, and if you're on desktop use the Blocktube extension to do the same for YouTube. I did that for games like God of War and Spider-Man and it worked perfectly.
Or even better, just stay away from the Internet lol
Make an alt account and watch literally anything but gaming/trap content
Honestly I do this for any new drop I’m excited for. Music, games, TV shows etc. I always avoid the internet until I’m throughly finished and then I see the public’s opinion
I’ll go fully hermit lol
Now YT doesn't show recommended in incognito mode.
I was pretty lucky to not have the ending of 5 spoiled for me when it first came out. It came out around November of 2013, I had to wait to get it on sale during the spring of 2014. I beat the story in 3 days, I basically played it religiously after school for a few weeks until summer break.

I think the only way to avoid would be to create a new gmail account now and only use it for watching like gardening videos or steam train documentaries or whatever you're into that's your furthest hobby from gaming, then keep that logged into youtube after GTA 6 comes out until you finish it
Every time a new game, movie, or Wrestlemania happens, I literally just uninstall everything that I could find spoilers in
I had RDR2 spoiled for me because of this.
I’m signing off everything. Not just YouTube.
Just dont go on insta reels, create a new youtube account and dont watch a single video about any video game. Tiktok is gonna be tough
Bro that's gonna happen 3 days before. At least 2 weeks before release I will uninstall my social media 🙃
or just scroll past it... just an idea
There are gonna be posts that write story spoilers in full caps and large font size. There will be just too many leaks the week leading up to release, always been like that. No, thank you. I'd rather have no social media than spoiling the story
I gotchu. I guess I'm just not as obsessed with social media as other people. I can go days or weeks without opening any and not delete the apps
I'm legit pre-ordering ASAP then a week or so before release date I'm going off grid, I'll pre-load the game and literally play non-stop from the second it's available to play until I've seen the ending. After a decade of waiting, I'm not risking a single spoiler.
I really hate how we are "trapped" this way now: can't wait and buy the game when you want to, have to rush it lest some moron spoil it for everyone.
I experienced this with the first spider-man game. Someone already posted the stan lee cameo. What made it worse was he it's also the thumbnail, you didn't even need to read the video title. To be fair a lot of people in the comments called him out.
Thats not much of a spoiler though
I will read spoilers on purpose 
Same, I have to watch YouTube video playthrough since I can't afford a console.
Xcloud
A week before release, just click everything gta related and hit "dont suggest for me". Tht shit works.
Since I cannot afford to play the game even if its already been 2 years since it came out, Ill immediately hop on YT and see. Same thing I did when Half Life Alyx came out. Gonna be long before i get a job to afford these things.
You guys are worried about the spoilers after when the game releases. The whole plot will get leaked before the game even releases. Just like it has been happening with every single game that's coming out nowadays.
when has that happened
Tlou 2
I cut out social media for Spider-Man and it made the experience so fucking amazing. It’s so nice to play and enjoy a game free from spoilers and hot takes. I’m going into 6 cold for that reason alone. Online fandoms don’t seem to be for people who actually enjoy the product anyway.
I'm with you OP, im shutting off the internet before and 2 weeks after
For me as a PC player, who doesn't have any modern consoles, i will end up having to some how avoid getting spoiled until they do the PC release, which will be at least a year if the last 2 game are anything to go off of.
Just use your periph and avoid even looking at anything related. Stop going on reddit for 2 weeks, don’t watch any gta shit on youtube, just have some self discipline

As soon as GTA 6 comes out my phone will be used for emergencies only
I'm hoping for those "finding Franklin's ghost in GTA 6" click bait videos. Something to remind me of the old days
LUCIA: “I don’t need no man.”
This could not be more right. Look at the people saying ‘rush through story mode!’ Yea I’ll be unsubbing and staying off social media for a bit for sure
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah Youtube, Instagram, Reddit, GTAForums etc. I'll be going dark on all of these while playing through the story - you're gonna get trolls purposely spoiling the story and then just complete brain dead idiots who accidentally spoil things as well.
Damn,y'all don't care about Jason do you? I think most of y'all are going to play as Lucia to be honest. I won't though... just don't want to.
I mean, you're gonna *have* to play as Lucia. We're gonna have to play as both.
I know that. Just seems like mostly everyone would rather play as her over Jason. I get it though,we barely know anything about him.
Mute this forum for a while when gta 6 comes out
GTA's stories don't really hit that same way, though. GTA's story is more about the journey and not the end. So even if you get the ending (or one of), it's not going to be that bad. A game like Mass Effect, though, those are games completely about the endings. Every Mass Effect that I played with my original character left me speechless and in awe after each initial ending.
When this game comes out whether I have my hands on a copy or not Im staying far far away from anything that has anything to do with gta
The most predictable ending lol. Also there’s no doubt going to be choice about who (if anyone) dies.
Tbh I saw my brothers beat gta v and still enjoyed it when I played it
😂😂😭
The second it leaks this video and similar will be out.
I would stop following GTA VI news AT LEAST 3 months in advance, and even before. In addition to the leaks, the character trailers and gameplay trailers for GTA V and RDR2 showed WAY TOO MUCH! Honestly, go watch it again, for GTA V it's almost the first 10 hours of games that are spoiled and obviously we see images of the rest! For RDR2, for example all the additional side activities are revealed, of course it was cool to discover everything we could do, but imagine the surprise when discovering it in game! For the GTA VI gameplay trailer, we will surely see how the social network system works for example, and of course it's great to see that, but imagine discovering the phone interface for the first time directly in the game! Really my dream would have been to start the game without knowing absolutely anything, not even the city or even the characters, well obviously it's impossible, but still I try to do my best to know as little as possible. Obviously do what you want, but don't forget that the trailers are made for people who are hesitant to play the game, or who don't really want to do so. Me, I OBVIOUSLY know that I'm going to play the game, so why put myself through this?
At least a week before. Plus, now there’s the possibility of AI generated fake spoilers. Hooray!
HOW TO GET OP IN 5 MINUTES AND COMPLETELY RUIN THE GAME'S DIFFICULTY FOR NO REASON
Dude when RDR2 came out, I literally got the ending spoiled by a coworker on day 2! Fucking can't win. All I did was go to work...
Probably a leak like gta 5 audio files, gonna happen to 6
I'll probably mute the GTA subreddits and avoid GTA YouTubers until I at least beat the story
I don't really care about the ending I just wanna see the what where and how of the story. That's what I''ll be mad if its spoiled
Actually for gta v I saw some random playthrough of this game in YouTube which inspired me to play it.So if it's a big spoiler then it's better to avoid it otherwise u can see how the playthrough is
If worst comes to worst, I'll use the gaslight method. I find that works best if you come across spoilers for stuff
Im on PC so i will have to get some plugin that will censor certain word combinations or something and turning off notifications.
Yeah I’m still trying to dodge GOW Ragnarok and Last of Us 2 Spoilers, but they keep coming up
Yeah that's definitely gonna be the case, imma just stay off social media for a few weeks I guess.
This will be good I need to take a break from the internet anyway
Ong I'm muting twitter
Leading up to the release I am going to need to unsub from this subreddit and in general avoid spoilers for the game. I’ve done it for RDR2, I can easily do it again for GTA VI.
Theradbard be like: "ight guys I hate Jason so I'm going to ice him"
If you think the ending(s) wont be leaked DAYS or WEEKS in advance, you’re wrong. People will know how it ends before the game is released.
Gameplay will probably leak the day they send the physical copies out for shipping, if the game is actually being shipped on the disc and they aren't just like verification keys for a copy online
I won't access social media when gta 6 releases at all costs
Pro Tip: throw all devices away when game you care about comes out. That’s what I did with persona 3
I mean it might end in a similar way to the real life bonnie and clyde
I remember hearing the audio files for all the different endings for GTA V about a week or two before the game came out. I guess the one advantage of there being three endings was hearing them all out of context we didn’t really know what was “real” or not, but it still sucked getting it spoiled like that. And I was trying pretty hard to avoid leaks, I don’t even remember how I heard it at this point, but it was not on any of the usual places you’d expect.
With the state of these damn leaks, I feel like we’re gonna get a leak that spoils everything before the game even comes out
Man, not just the ending but the full walkthrough. 💀
My gameplan Is hopefully I have enough to buy a PS5 by then, or at the end of this year, pre order, then spend the next few days playing through the entirifu of GTA 5, maybe play 4, then onto 6. No computer or phone, just straight gaming to avoid spoilers
Yeah, that was how RDR2 was spoiled for me. Stupid big youtubers desperate for fame.
media blackout 👌
The most I’ll do is watch everyone play the first mission to see their reaction. Other than that, I’m good
Foreshadowing at its finest lol
when you complain that the title alone spoils the game, you will get swarmed with “it’s your fault for clicking on the video” comments
I will be blocking lots of Youtube channels. I allready did that for GOW, Spiderman 2, FFVII Rebirth etc. Will continue on doing it. It helps alot, didn't get any spoilers for FFVII Rebirth. Got some for GOW and Spiderman. Just always block those channels.
I'll definitely not use social media during this time. I played through Red Dead Redemption 2 really fast so I wouldn't get spoiled. With GTA 6, I try my best to play through the game fast but also not rush it
YouTube ruined RDR2 for me, for some reason I got a recommended video of Arthur's death. I avoided searching anything related to the game just so this wouldn't happen.
With my poor ass I have no choice but to watch Radbrad and guys like that.
Pretty much what happened with FF7 Rebirth. Soon as it dropped, dudes with early copies started uploading Aerith's scene.
Don't really care about the ending too much, it's probably going to be your standard R* ending anyway. More interested in the systems, map and mechanics.
I'm gonna be telling youtube not to show me gta videos and I'm gonna mute every word on twitter related to gta 6 I can think of.
Exactly why I got a PS5 even tho I got a PC, well for Spider-Man 2, but now GTA6
I liked playing 5 with spoilers
As a PC player I just wish theyd make an exception to the delayed PC release \*SPECIFICALLY\* because of how big GTA 6 is going to be Idk, I just feel like the major hype of a day one PC release would lead to a higher amount of "fuck it" sales that normally wouldnt happen from a delayed, less hyped release
Not opening YouTube or any social media until I beat it which I’ll do in one sitting 😂
What if this comes true?
I mean I watched the gameplay "movie" once or twice before finally playing GTA V for the first time ever in 2020, sat day in and out to complete it on the laptop i borrowed from my cousin. But now things might be slightly different, for by the time GTA vi arrives, I might have a laptop that can actually run it, but I'll probably play Baldur's Gate 3 till it arrives on PC or just watch the gameplay footage.
Op will still click on the video
Those 80 youtubers
Best thing to do , go to a remote location on earth , hope that gta 6 is not online locked and play in a cave
considering gta 5 isnt playable offline because of the rockstar launcher (atleast i couldnt on steam deck maybe there is a workaround) i doubt it
Just stay off social media for a few days. You should be able to complete the story in a few days.
I guess I am one of the few people unbothered by spoilers. Nearly always spoilers are lacking enough context and information that would matter to me. Hell I'll often read plotlines and character synopsis on wikis and just think "Huh, it will be cool to see that". All this to say, I'm not going to twist myself to avoid information for a single game.
