Grand Theft Auto 6

I would note in addition to the above that obviously, I didn't really expect GTA Online to be anything other than people blowing the sh*t out of everything and trying to kill everyone once you're in the open-world map. I just find GTA more fun when you're the blower-upper and the fulcrum through which all the absolute carnage and mayhem in the world pivots around, rather than just essentially a limitless free-for-all battle royale.

It's my sandbox. Get out of it.

If they go down the realism route like they did with RDR2 it'll really damage the game. All people wanted was the fun of being a cowboy without having to clean your f*cking gun and brush your horse all the time.

Similarly here, if I have to refuel my car or have to take weapons out of the boot rather than just pull rocket launchers and sniper rifles out of my arse it's going to really make the game a chore to play.

I've always found that the games I've typically enjoyed the most have often been the ones I've gone into with minimal or reduced expectations. I'm going to try treat this the same way. If anything, RDR2 has helped temper my expectations a good bit. The amount of money and time they've spent, and the size of their teams etc isn't going to matter a damn if the core design isn't up to scratch.

I'm expecting a bit of fun, some nonsense, play it for 3-4 weeks, and then probably move on.

I play the single player game, finish the story, mess around on the map. Then I’m done. Probably clocks in at 50-60 hours. No interest in the online play or the inevitable PS6 and PS7 versions with shinier graphics
