    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.

      here’s the worst thing, it’s not going to fail. They’re going to make fucking GTA 10 3 decades from now for Sam houser’s retirement, and it’s going to make a trillion dollars.

      The fucking identity and spirit is gone. It’s just a generic crime drama game. Good enough for the people that like films about organised crime, which is enough money to make a fuckload of money. But it’s just hollow.

        Oh I have no doubt it will be a financial success - I just meant as it pertains to my enjoyment.

        I’m also totally fine with them releasing a game without the spirit of the previous games. Those games still exist. I just might not buy the new one, that’s all.

      Totally fair. I’ll play it if it’s good. Still doesn’t justify harsh crunch time or draconian RTO mandates…
