    Well, it’s not like RDR2 had a short story, so I’m ok with that.

    I suspect they want enough of a solo game to not piss off us old guys, then will quickly pivot to GTA6 online for the cash cow.

    If the world and AI are good, I’ll have endless hours causing chaos and jumping motorcycles.

      Yeah kinda my take.

      I would’ve been fine with RDR2 being a bit shorter, frankly, I was kinda dragging along by the end.

        They needed to set up red dead redemption and the whole thing of John wanting to walk away from being a bandit

          Yeah, sure. I’m not saying the epilogue was too long, just the game overall.

          Consider it: did they really need every scene in the game? Are you honestly gonna tell me that every. single. mission. was plot critical or would’ve made the game lesser in any significant way?

          There was a lot they could’ve trimmed down or removed.

          Which, to clarify, it’s not like I think the length is a great crime or significantly detracts from the game. I just feel like it would’ve been better if it was a bit shorter. I’m not trying to compare it to something like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey where it’s a 100+ hour game and 70hrs of it is narratively irrelevant.

      They’re typically some of my favorite stories. And after everyone stopped trying to chase GTA, we don’t get all that many crime stories anymore either.

        I still like to go back and replay Sleeping Dogs. It’s probably one of the best non-GTA GTA game ever made.

        And it always makes me want Chinese food.

          A Man Who Never Eats Pork Buns, Is Never A Whole Man!

          Also, Saints Row II would like a word. :)

          In that announcement trailer for VI, we see what I assume to be the protagonist(s) bursting into a shop, guns drawn. Imo it’d be interesting to play as two parts of a romantic relationship based around crime and a twisted sense of trust. It would add interesting RP mechanics to the strip clubs that’ll inevitably be in the game, kinda like the first phone call Franklin gets from Tonya when he’s at the strip club in V.

    Unpopular opinion, but hype for GTA 6 died to me when they showed their disdain towards Linux users. They’ve always been shitty towards PC, but enough is enough.

      I was pretty meh-ed out by V’s single player campaign. I’ll wait till it’s free on epic this time too

    Man I can’t wait for this game!

    I hope they are planning on releasing some single player DLC down the line as well. Really wish they did that with GTA V, was a little disappointed they scrapped that DLC and just focused on GTA Online.

    I rarely play the stories anyway. I just like driving around, doing jumps, and having the cops chase me.
