....what are your expectation for GTA 6? Mine are pretty low considering shark cards and enshittification
They canceled the GTA V story DLC after seeing the success of GTA Online, and their long-time head writer and producer resigned. I have little faith that GTA6 will capture the same spark that their earlier games had.
Mine are hopeful. I expect GTA Online to still be shit, but I hope that the main story is good. Considering it's rockstar, then it should be a pretty proper game story wise. But we'll just have to wait and see.
I expect them to have that shit not just in the online aspect but the single player as well. Which also means you can't play if you're not connected.
I'll join you on that planet and wait for HL:3

CONFIRMED
"According to my calculations, we'll just have to wait here, oh... about six years."
GTA6 release confirmed for the year 368944
Then your ship fails to launch and you need to do emergency repairs and when you come back to Earth the only version of GTA6 you can play is a shitty remaster.
This makes me curious. There have to be sci fi stories out there where instead of cryostasis, people are just moved really fast or put in high gravity environments to make time move slower for them
That sounds like a really cool idea for a movie or a book.
That's a major part in the Ender's Game series. They have faster than light communication, but the ships travel at like 90% the speed of light. So when traveling between planets, it's like a two week trip to the people traveling, but 20 years on planet.
The main character Ender travels often, so he is only 35 in the second book, a couple thousand years after the first book.
Oh true! I haven’t read Ender’s Game in years, and I only read the first book. Thanks for the reminder I should re-read.
But I’m also specifically curious about sci fi franchises where the slowdown of time is intentional as a way to preserve people, it sounds like a cool premise, and with the mountain of sci fi material I imagine it’s probably been done somewhere
you’d likely need to go somewhere a bit more extreme to wait for silksong
Then they all die, because of old age.
Do you mean the astronauts on the ocean planet? No. They are experiencing time correctly, they won't die of old age until much later than earth.
Gravity does weird shit to time.
It'll only take a few minutes
GTA once was great as sublime satire with a blend of all kinds of cultural references coincided with the technical ability to make an immersive world.
Nowadays it edges towards saints row, with the latter bring more creative
