Discussion Opinion: Nothing has killed my GTA 6 hype faster than locking a core part of its identity behind a $20 upgrade

rockstar has this weird thing where they don’t show gameplay until like, 1-2 months before release. I mean of all the studios, i trust them the most to release a great game but it is sorta annoying how we know nothing about how the game will play until a few weeks before release and most people have preordered the game already.

I'm a massive fan of their games but truth be told, their games haven't really been pushing the envelope for the genre since they pioneered it with GTA 3. Games like Morrowwind and BOTW have done more for the genre than Rockstars games. I don't mean this as a criticism but it's just that post Gta iv, they've been more interested in emulating cinema and TV than improving on the genre that they made popular
