  • GTA 6 Will be the Biggest Game Released...Ever - Not for Normies Podcast Episode 15
    Mar 22 2024

    What's going on everyone, this is the Not for Normies Podcast Episode 15!

    This episode is actually pretty old at this point, but it's more for you all to listen to what we had to say and, with it being the episode we talk about GTA 6, it's definitely one you don't want to miss out!

    As well, we talk about a host of indie games that will be coming out relatively soon (or have come out already by the time this podcast has been released) that we're both very excited about:

    • Mariachi Legends
    • Constance
    • Moadra
    • Divine Guardian
    • Akatori
    • Altered Alma
    • Gatekeeper: Infinity
    • Astral Ascent (IS OUT!)
    • Death Must Die

    And there's one more game that you MUST check out and it's called Worldless, which has been out for a while now, but we feel like a lot of people might have glossed over it and we'd like to give it a little spotlight as it is an indie game and an exceptional one at that.

    But thank you all so much for listening to our podcast, if you'd like to check out the video of this podcast, the link is here if you'd like to watch it on YouTube!

    Last, but certainly not least, we hope you all have a wonderful week, play some video games and, most importantly, don't be a normie!
