Yeah.
You just KNOW there's going to be more online microtransaction-y bullshit in 6 because they made SO MUCH from 5.
Makes it hard to be more than I'll-wait-for-reviews-and-the-first-sale interested, personally.
I still think a commentor in another thread said it perfectly. GTA 6 will likely be a single player sample of GTA Online 2
I predict the online parts of GTA6 will bleed into the single player game. There will be things your SP characters can access only if you have unlocked it in online. Garages, cars, weapons and suchlike. Maybe even money. Will be done as though your online char is part of your SP gang or something.
I bought the ps3 copy on release and tbh enjoyed the sp greatly
I retried it on xbox x recently to play through again. It somehow felt wrong. I can't put my finger on why kinda took some of the interest out for me. Zero interest in any of the online billshit either.
Kind of a pitty as I have been playing since the original top down game.
My over all interest is probably the same as yours
I've been playing since 1 as well. 5 completely killed any desire I had for the series. There's some good things in it, it's not a bad game or anything. Definitely something off though, I agree.
It was the overall downgrade from 4 that stood out to me. In 5, guns sounded worse, the driving became way too arcadey, the story was less tight and the three protagonists were more disjointed and Franklin was grossly underdeveloped, the city lacked diners etc to go eat at etc and felt less alive, no vigilante missions, NPCs were squishier residual in hand to hand, the car damage models are boring and less detailed than 4… I could go on.
5 was bizarrely a huge step back from everything they’d built towards for 4 that it’s no surprise 4 has remained hugely popular and maintained an incredibly active modding scene to keep the game looking youthful.
