Will GTA 6 live up to the hype? (lemm.ee)

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.

I don't care about the hype. I won't get myself hyped either. I already didn't like the trailer graphics, which looked kind of cartoonish. The gameplay will show, but they got so many billions from the online mode, that I'm not sure if they even bother delivering a good long singleplayer and not just focus mostly on the online play. I only care about the single player, where I'm not harassed by cheaters and shop popups, begging and nagging me to buy worthless online money.

Now they probably will provide a single player, maybe even a great one, as RDR2 has shown they are still capable after all. I will probably try the online mode but the last GTA was loading simulator and cheater party. And when I looked how grindy it is to get anything I stopped right away.

They've dumped $2billion of that back into developing this game. That's 4x as much as they spent on RDR2 and about 5x as what they spent on GTAV.

So as far as "I'm not sure they even bothered" goes, well it seems they bothered quit a bit more than they did on those other games which were both epic.

We don't know how much of that was for the multiplayer. I'm probably wrong though, and that's not a bad thing.
