Netflix subscribers and anyone who has stolen the password of a cherished loved one or ex who forgot to take them off the account have now been able to see the first officially sanctioned Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay footage after several days of online leaks. Well, how are we feeling? Was it everything you were hoping for? Did anything surprise you? Does it look like it’s going to be worth all the months of hype and people treating it like it’s the last game we’re ever going to get? Well, the internet sure seems impressed.

Some people are getting excited about specific moments, stunts, and scenes Rockstar showed off.

For some people who have been combing through the ongoing leaks for the past few days, this reveal quieted some fears that the game’s visuals had been “downgraded” from how they looked in previous trailers.

Some of the other reactions are more tempered, as not everyone is immediately sold on a new GTA on principle, and if you aren’t in tune with some of the specifics of the series, it might just look like another one of those. Others are also combing through some of the footage and finding things they’re not quite as thrilled about.

Huh. GTA 6 sure does look like prettier GTA. Probably because 5 is already so all-encompassing, there isn't really a lot that feels new and exciting.

Now that the Netflix special is up, previews and interviews are also trickling out, which means that fans will have plenty to sort through today. For now, it looks like fans are just happy to get a substantial look at the game, though some say they’re still planning to boycott the game because Rockstar isn’t releasing it on disc. We’ll see if that lasts when the game finally launches on November 19.
