With how disappointing the latest sequels of famous franchises had been during this first half of the 2020s (except resident evil, yay) I expect GTA to fall a bit short as well…
Like, it’s going to be a good game but it won’t blew anyone away. Also probably is going to be the buggiest GTA at launch. That’s the trend in big games now.
Do people really expect it to be anything other than just more GTA? The bar doesn’t seem to be set that high.
“just GTA” usually meant setting a standard in the sand box - open world genre. Rockstar are the best at doing that.
