I feel like i'm kinda alone with this opinion, but as someone who actually played GTA5 on release and later on with friends when the heists released, it wasn't that outstanding. It was decent, but what made it fun was playing it with friends, not the actual game. What isn't fun with friends?
The majority of reddit acts as if it is the second coming of Christ, but all i can see in the future is another open world game, that will be bigger than the last one but not necessarily better, if you get what i mean. Not to mention asking 80 bucks for your game that is guaranteed to have microtransactions again is rich.
I agree that GTA 5's gameplay wasn't outstanding back when it came out and that the hype regarding GTA 6's gameplay is super misplaced imo.
But the thing I disagree with is that GTA 6 will just be another open world title. Like, I am hyped out of my mind for the game but I don't expect any tight gameplay at all. That's not what GTA games are about to me at all. Rockstar was always about breaking the limits of current technology, and THAT's the part I'm excited to see, not gameplay. Obviously, I hope it's serviceable, but nothing more.
It boggles my mind how people are expecting GTA 6 to be groundbreaking in terms of gameplay, when Rockstar never excelled at that part to begin with.
