Oh well, might play it when it's on sale in five years. Also wtf is a "single player experience"? Is this going to focus almost completely on GTA Online?
Pretty sure it means the exact opposite. GTA Online is NOT a single player experience in any way shape or form. They're saying that it isn't going to have that at launch.
experience means it's not true singleplayer campaign...
it's marketing lies.. stop eating the nonsense
No, "experience" is just corporate shareholder wording for this type of thing. You're looking at this statement from a gamer's perspective, but this is a company announcing the price of a product. Statements worded like this are talking to shareholders, regardless of where the statement is being made. Rockstar doesn't give a shit about what gamers think about the price, this is Rockstar giving shareholders a unit price they can base estimated revenue from.
If they were referring to multipalyer in any way, tehy would mention it directly. Either as multiplayer, or more likely in reference to an upgrade for GTA Online. But again... that will be a later update so they can squeeze more sales from an already released product, and to remind people that didn't buy it originally that GTA VI released and is getting updates.
I see no reason to believe that the "single player experience" is anything other the campaign you'd expect out of a new Grand Theft Auto.
It's normal to be suspicious in the enshitification era.
Hopefully it's a normal campaign. And maybe it's a single player mode based on the true game which is the mmo. An afterthought. Like how ESO can be played without interacting with other players, but it's not fun. A single player "experience"
There's a lot more negativity surrounding that wording than I expected. For me, it's like the best part of the announcement probably. I gives me hope that the game will be solid, and that an online component wasn't the main focus (which some people were concerned about, given the financial success of GTA Online).
I don't know why they chose that exact wording, but it's really weird and sounds like the single-player campaign is just some by-product of GTA Online. Maybe it's not, maybe it's going to be great, I'll wait anyway, I'm not paying 80€ for this.
Interesting because I read it the exact opposite. It reads to me like reassurance that single player was their primary focus.
