With how disappointing the latest sequels of famous franchises had been during this first half of the 2020s (except resident evil, yay) I expect GTA to fall a bit short as well…
Like, it’s going to be a good game but it won’t blew anyone away. Also probably is going to be the buggiest GTA at launch. That’s the trend in big games now.
Idk about RDR2 but for GTA, GTA5 is the first one they invested so much time after the initial release.
GTA 5 has a proper online multiplayer mode. Online multiplayer means money. This is why they invest so much time. They optimized the pay-to-win mechanics and not even hide it anymore.
