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.
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.
