Why would anyone be excited for a series that now peaked 21 years ago, and has only had 1 other release in that time?
I understand why youre not interested and I also don’t care for it, but it’s disingenuous to say it isn’t one of the most hyped games of all time. The first trailer has 268 million views on youtube and that’s only on the official channel. People are excited.
I’d take GTA 4 or 5 over San Andreas, easily. And at this point, a large part of the appeal is GTA Online for a ton of folks; not me, but a ton of folks.
I liked the DLCs as well. I know why they don’t do them anymore, as online is a money printing machine. But I really liked them and wished they had done more.
The world exists, so just add a story with a bunch of missions => nice DLC. But since they make such an obscene amount of money from online it makes no sense for them to do any more.
I remember when GTA 5 came out, everybody was excited. San Andreas had been HUGE. Both in map size, and in game sales.
I bought it day 1. Then the PS4 came out, and GTA5 for PS4. By this point we all knew what GTA5 was.
My friend wanted so badly for me to buy a PS4, just to buy GTA 5 again, just so he’d have someone to play with.
Then PS5 came out. Same story.
I actually bought a PS4 at some point. Regret it. Barely ever played it.
Then I bought a PS5. Regret it. Barely ever play it.
And now that I know how microtransaction laiden GTA is, I’ll be skipping GTA6 entirely.
Now I see them firing a bunch of people. A few days later I see GTA6 is delayed until this time next year.

I still play GTA Vice City and Vice City Stories… I never looks back or forward from that moment.

4 was a masterpiece. The story is supurb.
Red dead 2 was insanely good
