Readers discuss the possibility of a GTA 6 delay, concerns about microtransactions in Dragon's Dogma 2, and hopes for Divinity: Original Sin 3.
Do you have any thoughts on the potential delay for GTA 6 and the current state of the gaming industry? It seems like there's a constant stream of bad news and lack of innovation, and we need a game like GTA 6 to show us the potential of what games can be when they're done right. The same goes for the rumored Switch 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, as long as they bring that classic Nintendo magic with them.

I was surprised to hear that Larian Studios won't be working on Baldur's Gate 3 anymore, but I'm excited to see what they come up with next. I hope they don't go back to doing Divinity games, as I feel like they're capable of creating something even more amazing.

On that note, I'm disappointed in Capcom for adding microtransactions to a game after its launch. It's a scumbag move that I would expect from publishers like Ubisoft or EA, not from a company that was labeled the best publisher of last year. It's a shame because the game looked good, but now I'm hesitant to purchase it at full price.

Speaking of disappointments, I was hoping for a return to form for the Alone In the Dark franchise with the latest installment, but it seems like it's lacking in the scare factor. It's a problem that's been seen in other recent survival horror games, and it's a shame because I miss the days of being genuinely terrified while playing a game. Hopefully, we'll see more games like Amnesia: The Bunker in the future.
Hey there, gamers! Have you heard the rumors about the delay of GTA 6? Apparently, it might not be released until 2026. But honestly, I'm not surprised. Rockstar has a history of delaying their games, which I actually see as a good thing. It shows that they're not willing to rush out an unfinished product just to make some quick cash.

Speaking of the gaming industry, have you noticed that survival horror games just aren't as scary as they used to be? A reader recently wrote in expressing their disappointment with the lack of scares in modern games, including Marvel's Spider-Man 2. If you want to join the discussion, feel free to email us your thoughts. But no rush, take your time.

Personally, I think it's important for GTA 6 to be a success, not just for fans of the series, but for the gaming industry as a whole. With so much negative news and lackluster innovation in this generation, we need a game that showcases the true potential of gaming when done right.

On a similar note, I was hoping for a Switch 2 that could bring back some of that classic Nintendo magic. I also had high hopes for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to its potential. However, I have faith that GTA 6 will deliver, as long as they don't rush the development process.

In other news, I was shocked to learn that Larian Studios won't be working on Baldur's Gate 3 anymore. I'm not sure if there was a falling out or if they just want to focus on their own original projects now. I was excited about the possibility of them creating a Star Wars game, but it seems unlikely now. However, I'll settle for an original sci-fi game as long as it means they won't be making Divinity: Original Sin 3. Don't get me wrong, the previous games were great, but I personally prefer the Dungeons & Dragons setting.

Moving on, Capcom may have been named the best publisher of last year, but their decision to add microtransactions to a game after its release is a scummy move. It's put me off from buying Dragon's Dogma 2 at full price, and I hope there's enough backlash to prevent them from doing it again. Unfortunately, they only need a small number of people to spend a lot on microtransactions to make it profitable for them.

Now, let's talk about Marvel's Spider-Man 2. As a fan of the first game, I have to ask: am I missing something with the sequel? I've owned it since launch, but I just can't seem to get into it. Even after lowering the difficulty, it's just not fun for me. Maybe I've had my fill of the franchise, but I'd appreciate any tips or advice from fellow gamers.

Lastly, there's been some speculation about Sony's next console. Some believe it will be the PS5 Pro, while others think it's the PlayStation 6. Personally, I think it makes more sense for them to focus on the PlayStation 6 at this point, especially with the success of the PS5. And if they can launch it with a game like GTA 6, with timed exclusivity for PlayStation 6 players, it could be a huge selling point for the console.

On a final note, I'm disappointed to hear that the new Alone in the Dark game isn't as scary as we had hoped. It seems like a common trend in recent survival horror games, with titles like Silent Hills, Scorn, and Alan Wake 2 falling short in the scares department. Even the Dead Space remake, while still creepy, is essentially the same game from 20 years ago. It's a shame that scary games don't seem to sell as well, as it leads to publishers toning down the horror elements. But as gamers, we can still appreciate and support the few gems that manage to get under our skin.
