Ehhhh I guess, if your asking the kids that play online. Everyone I know and have seen really does not care about it. They jumped the shark with all the online bs.
Yeah.
You just KNOW there's going to be more online microtransaction-y bullshit in 6 because they made SO MUCH from 5.
Makes it hard to be more than I'll-wait-for-reviews-and-the-first-sale interested, personally.
I bought the ps3 copy on release and tbh enjoyed the sp greatly
I retried it on xbox x recently to play through again. It somehow felt wrong. I can't put my finger on why kinda took some of the interest out for me. Zero interest in any of the online billshit either.
Kind of a pitty as I have been playing since the original top down game.
My over all interest is probably the same as yours
I've been playing since 1 as well. 5 completely killed any desire I had for the series. There's some good things in it, it's not a bad game or anything. Definitely something off though, I agree.
It was the overall downgrade from 4 that stood out to me. In 5, guns sounded worse, the driving became way too arcadey, the story was less tight and the three protagonists were more disjointed and Franklin was grossly underdeveloped, the city lacked diners etc to go eat at etc and felt less alive, no vigilante missions, NPCs were squishier residual in hand to hand, the car damage models are boring and less detailed than 4… I could go on.
5 was bizarrely a huge step back from everything they’d built towards for 4 that it’s no surprise 4 has remained hugely popular and maintained an incredibly active modding scene to keep the game looking youthful.
