Now don't get me wrong, yes I know it's Rockstar, yes they are probably still going to make millions because GTA has such an established fanbase and they will buy a literal turd with a rockstar logo on it given the opportunity, this is all true.
However even if the story mode is half-decent and I've got this feeling it's going to be fairly lackluster given the angle that they're going with and it seems despite being a 'crime' game they're shying more and more away from controversy these days and have definitely been infested with the woke.
Here's where it's going to get funny though, GTA Online. Oh boy is that going to be a clusterfuck. The brain drain is very real at game studios and it looks like they're having more and more problems holding onto talent. Any programmer with half a brain isn't going to want anything to do with these arseholes. Found a youtube video that does a perfect job encapsulating all the problems with online which as with most modern games is just a vehicle for micro-transactions so they make sure it's always more convenient to whip out your bank card and sign over your details. It's remarkable how Rockstar Games have managed to make a crime game that's boring.

I have barely even ranted about how bad this game is going to be from a technical networking perspective yet either since we're seeing how GTA V even to this day is constantly falling over due to the number of players. Even if people still buy the game, they're going to get pissed off at the state of it. I have to wonder as well how much of the back end of GTA VI they've really messed with and if it's just another clone of the same code as GTA V.
Dude!
That's a ten minute video, that is already over a year old, of some guy saying he's not liking the game and how to make it better for a particular aspect (Business selling) and that's it.
I'm all for talking about what will happen with GTA VI and what was wrong with GTO but to ask people to waste their time watching that video which has nothing to do with either - is asking a lot.
Wait, what's wromg with Great Teacher Onizuka?
The got grief'd in GTA:O
The video might be old but it's still very relevant because as I've mentioned I was hate playing GTA Online recently. Even after all this time Rockstar still haven't bothered even acknowledging the issues going on with GTA Online and the only thing they seem to be managing is frequent mass bans of innocent players who get caught up in modder shenanigans.
There certainly should be an option to allow for modifications to the cars, even if that's not in an active online mode with other players present. That's an important part of the culture of the game and also why there are so many stupid looking vehicles you can purchase in GTA Online with real life cash.
But the video was just moaning about how they should update the older businesses to make them more enjoyable and I think the easy option on that one is to just not play the businesses elements any more - I certainly haven't.
I'm all for how GTA VI will get messed up though, I just don't think about parts of GTAO which were always rubbish being looked into is going to be a popular enough choice for many to take notice.
I'm not knocking those wanting them, just trying to talk about diverting manpower into making them at this point.
