GTA 5 was boring as fuck, one of the only games I would genuinely consider overhyped. Usually when I don't like a popular game I can see the appeal of it for other people, but there is fuck all to actually do in GTA 5. Yeah, you can drive around and shoot things, but the shooting is pretty bland and there's no reason at all to get into random gunfights. The driving is decent, but if I wanted to play a driving game, then I would play Forza or something. There's character customisation, but the outfits are extremely limited and boring, mostly just variations of shirts and pants, there's minigames like darts for some reason, there's fake social media and an in-game phone camera, but there is no point to doing anything. Nothing feels satsifying. I just fuck about for half an hour then get bored. The in-game economy is dogshit, you go from having nothing to everything extremely quickly and money very quickly becomes meaningless, so there's no goals to strive for. Like I can't stress enough how there is no point to getting more money, because all you can buy is guns which kill people with the same effectiveness as most other guns, cars to customise, and properties to get more money so you can buy more properties. Red dead 2 was the exact same, a few hours in money becomes meaningless because the Valentine bank robbery will set you up for life, and that's in the first third of the game. There are no more upgrades to be bought, all you can buy is beans. It gets a pass for having a great story and letting me ride on and rob trains, GTA 5 is just nothing.
anyway yeah i probably wont get gta6
gotta disagree with you on rdr2. the treasure hunting and animal hunting, and klan hunting were fun for me. there are lots of little quests & Easter eggs to discover, often with interesting characters.
Yeah I mean, I liked rdr2, but I also remember that this game was made with the labour of people who worked over 100 hour per week
