>Why the fuck is GTA V still selling like fucking crazy despite being one of the worst GTA games in the series?

normalfags/casuals have no standards. That's it. They don't play enough games to compare to so they're easily impressed. It's not entirely their fault since they just want to play casually but they'res fucking lots of them so lower quality in favor of bigger marketing isn't going away

Well yeah, we can see that clearly with TLoU and Nu-God of War. What surprises me is that this game is still selling despite being older than the PS4. We could've probably had two GTA games if it wasn't so successful.

Because of online, IV had it too but it was fucking shit while V had all its fucking resources pulled into it

>we can see that clearly with TLoU and Nu-God of War.

casual praise of those games is more surprising to me than GTA. GTA you just go fucking around and there's some aspect in it casuals will find and fuck around with and get bored and go do something else. TLOU has tons of forced walking sections and dialogue and I always figured that casuals would dislike that in favor of just getting to the bells and whistles to entertain themselves for an hour

It's marketing buzz, basically Sony hires people on social media, cuckchan, reddit, and youtube to help shill their games. What they do is they act like normal people, but behind the scenes they're marketers.

>>14801253

It's better than IV

>t. PC only gamer.

>>14801276

This is a fuckin understatement. I'll never understand casual faggots, same with rap-listening-faggots.

>>14801549

I can understand why people like pop orientated hip hop, because like all pop music it's jut a formula to be catchy, it works to get your radio plays up. I also get and sometimes enjoy certain rap artists but it's definitely not my go to genre. What I don't get is the boom of soundcloud rappers who all look like a bag of skittles taken human form and all their songs are impossible to listen to

>>14801549

Nor should you. When you realize exactly why people are stupid, only severe depression comes to shake your hand for figuring out the big mystery.

The online mode, which I guess normalfags love.

How the fuck hasn't it hit market saturation? Are there that many money hackers getting banned that keep rebuying keys?

its fun

>>14801276

This. The only genre worse than rap is dubstep and black and/or death metal.

>why is one of the most popular and well known series of all time in any media form that had a giant marketing campaign, gameplay is simple and easy to get into, appeals to every culture, has a tacked on MMO aspect that bans retards who end up buying multiple copies of the game because they're addicted to a shitty multiplayer mode selling so well?

It's a giant mystery

Because people are dumb

>>14801253

GTA is a terrible series and V was the only one tolerable enough to play.

>>14801253

Very easy to answer, limited competition and a high demand and beloved series. GTA VI will sell even more, because new gamers are born every minute. I still haven't played it, won't for a while either because they haven't had to reduce the price because of said limited competition. Blame Saints Row for being too silly and Mafia 3 for being to sjw if you want and it will be valid.

>>14801372

Not only cuckchan, sadly. They brutally gutted the monster hunter threads.

Marketing Works.

The best guess I've seen is that it's due to the GTA Online cash cards that come with some versions of the game.

Sheep will buy everything advertised to them.

Normans have terrible memory, the old PS2 games and even IV might as well not exist to them

Jews don't work in psychology for nothin', they know pattersn attract people and repeating intervals up their dopamine. Common generic themes also raise their attention if made to sound genuine enough.

>why do shit games sell

Dunno, I assume its marketing and normalfags having god awful taste

>>14803584

All music except religious chants were made for the pleasure of your dopamine though.

Because the online is actually fun and the microtransactions are not a requirement.

There are reputable groups that will sell you rockstar accounts with the game for under 2 dollars. If there was a sale recently or they managed to steal account and payment data by hacking rockstar for the 2000th time you might even get it for under 1 dollar.

There's an abundant supply of gta accounts for sale because a lot of people get frustrated and want to fuck rockstar over by denying them buyers so they sell their account to a reseller for 50 cents or whatever

I know because I make money off of using paid mod menus in gta 5 and selling in game services.

I can't sell you an account but really just go to se7ensins and see if anybody there is chinese, if they are they'll 100% chance sell you account + email and they might even accept steam items for it.

>why is jewish propaganda spread everywhere, unendingly, when jews only own literally every television and radio station and all movies

Gee, I wonder. Kill yourself.
