    Unpopular opinion, but hype for GTA 6 died to me when they showed their disdain towards Linux users. They’ve always been shitty towards PC, but enough is enough.

    Well, it’s not like RDR2 had a short story, so I’m ok with that.

    I suspect they want enough of a solo game to not piss off us old guys, then will quickly pivot to GTA6 online for the cash cow.

    If the world and AI are good, I’ll have endless hours causing chaos and jumping motorcycles.

      Yeah kinda my take.

      I would’ve been fine with RDR2 being a bit shorter, frankly, I was kinda dragging along by the end.

      They’re typically some of my favorite stories. And after everyone stopped trying to chase GTA, we don’t get all that many crime stories anymore either.

        GTA 5 was honestly great storytelling, with the very interesting narrative device to see the story through 3 points of view. I’ve replayed that story a dozen times, each time I enjoy it

          In that announcement trailer for VI, we see what I assume to be the protagonist(s) bursting into a shop, guns drawn. Imo it’d be interesting to play as two parts of a romantic relationship based around crime and a twisted sense of trust. It would add interesting RP mechanics to the strip clubs that’ll inevitably be in the game, kinda like the first phone call Franklin gets from Tonya when he’s at the strip club in V.

            I get that vibe too, when they were in the bedroom it felt like we weren’t either one of those characters but both. If they can pull it off like 5 it’ll be really interesting. But I’m worried they put main story on the back burner for online crap.

        I still like to go back and replay Sleeping Dogs. It’s probably one of the best non-GTA GTA game ever made.

        And it always makes me want Chinese food.

    Man I can’t wait for this game!

    I hope they are planning on releasing some single player DLC down the line as well. Really wish they did that with GTA V, was a little disappointed they scrapped that DLC and just focused on GTA Online.
