Female main character?? What is this woke agenda garbage??? /s

Felt kind of weird to see gta with more realistic movements. Not complaining, the whole thing looks really good

How does the video have 86,000 views and 2.1m likes? What am I missing?

My question is of mathematics, not popularity. Sorry I wasn’t more clear, I am excited for the game too!

Ah. Like count updates faster than view count.

Everyone here is missing the point that the video has more likes than views, by a few orders of magnitude…

It’s because after a certain point, YouTube stops updating the view counts in real time. Some other stats (such as likes) will still update, though.

Exactly, thank you. I get what the massive appeal to the game is. I’ve played all the GTAs (yes I’m old), but something is fucky if it has that many updoots and not even 100k views (at the time).

Views don’t update in real time but likes do. Always happens with big videos like this. It’s something to do with YouTube reconciling the view counts across multiple servers, which gets very difficult with large numbers. It’s a bit easier for them to create a stable like count when each user can only like it once, so they’re essentially adding that user to a list and then counting the length of the list.

This is the most expensive game ever built.

I get that. I’m excited for it too. My point is 80k views but 2.1 m likes. How could 2.1 m people like it when it hasn’t even been viewed 100k times yet? As soon as you load the page it’s a view, so at least 2.1m people would have had to open the video to like it.

It was linked through a third party like twitter.

The view counter is different than the like counter. If checked after a couple of days most likely we would say the views more than the likes.

It is way down the list, not even top 30. Pokémon tops all at 88 billion.

The video was up early with a premiere scheduled, so people could start liking it before the video was available.

YouTube probably updates views on a periodic basis and likes in realtime.

My guess is you’ll see views as higher than likes once activity dies down and the latter catches up to the former.

YouTube view counts can lag a few hours behind when videos get sudden huge views like this

You’re looking at the sequel to the game that is still within Steam’s Top 10 active player count, 8.5 years after its release.

People have been speculating on GTA6 for well over 5 years at this point, it’s no surprise this announcement is popular.

Coming 2025

Fuck me, it’s still at least a year and a half off. I’d bet it’s either coming September or November 2025 or being delayed until 2026.

Which would make it at least 12 years since GTA 5’s original release. That’s absolutely nuts.

better than releasing a half finished game that is unplayable in the first 6 months and then barely playable for another 6months and only with the dlc 3 months later they bring features they promised on release.

Dont get me wrong i’d love to play RIGHT NOW, but i’d rather wait for a polished experience than to get disappointed.

IDK, I said the same thing about Cyberpunk, No Man’s Sky, Diablo IV, Starfield, and what feels like every other AAA game that comes out these days.

Delays and long development times no longer mean quality, if they ever did.
