Really hope it doesn’t get delayed but also wish for both the staff not to have mental health issues or us to get another unpolished game released to us.

I mean, we’ve waited 36 years since the last one, I’m totally fine with waiting a bit longer to avoid stress on the devs.

Lmao. I actually got tricked into doing arithmetic for a second there.

I’m not waiting. I was a fan since GTA 2, I didn’t even bother finishing 5. This is going to be the last step in the genericisation of GTA.

Every fucking game is open world, the tone is less funny compared to what it was before, too many creators left, and the ones that are still there are too out of touch. Fuck it.

Yeah, I’ll get it if reviews look good, but I’m not bullish on that.

I had to force myself to finish GTA V because I kept coming back hoping there was more to it since everyone kept saying how good it was. Once I finished it, I felt relieved because I’d no longer have that nagging FOMO and finally uninstalled it. I haven’t had the desire to play since, and it’s my least favorite GTA. I actually played GTA IV after GTA V as a palette freshener, and GTA SA is still my favorite.

So if they’re making something more like V than IV and SA, I’m probably not going to bother. I hope it’s unlike any of them and goes in an interesting new direction, but I’m not holding out hope.

Honestly, I agree. I’ll probably still play it, though.

GTA is one of those few series that so far have actually been worth the AAA pricetag to me (also going back to GTA2), but I definitely see the potential for failure here. Going to wait a bit after release and watch the reviews before springing for it.
