Will not buy. I do not like rockstar’s business model of “release new GTA, milk the franchise via online mode and microtransactions for a decade rather than making more content and new games”. GTA1-4 and all of the offshoot/expansion games for each, came out in a shorter timespan than GTA5’s lifespan, WITHOUT an expansion.
Also, GTA5 was wonderful technically, but the story was cookie cutter as hell. Even just looking at the “amazing new 3 protagonists”, it’s a white guy in his 40s who just wants one final score before retiring (every heist movie protagonist ever), a black dude from the streets with gang history (b/c he’s black, and a criminal, he’s obviously a gang member), and some methed out white dude (who even the dev team admits is just a character based on “lol gta players will play like psychopaths because the npc’s aren’t real people, isn’t that funny/weird haha let’s make a character about it” — like no the whole point of gta is that it’s a story about being a criminal, so you do criminal stuff and get rewarded for it with points/money/weapons and without real consequence, like when mario jumps on a goomba). two boring stereotypes that and a
Anyway, buying gta6 sounds like a poor life decision to me. i hate yearly franchises, but decade-ly franchises are so much worse. the starcraft 1->2 transition taught me that way before gta5 even came out.
