As gamers disagree on whether Grand Theft Auto VI will be excellent or awful; the Grand Theft Auto community appears to be at war.
Grand Theft Auto VI hasn’t even been formally announced by Rockstar Games, but the prospective live-service concept is already stirring up controversy.
Even while Grand Theft Auto V received favorable reviews from fans, many of them were upset when the game’s emphasis turned to GTA Online and its in-game purchases. When the new online mode launches, GTA VI fans are preparing for “microtransaction hell” and worry that it may also seep into the single-player mode.
Since there is still a lot we don’t know about the game, online rumors about it are rife. According to rumors, the open world will be one of the biggest ones ever seen and will be constantly growing with new locales and activities.
This live-service approach is what some fans are concerned about, and it is igniting debates online between those who are convinced Rockstar will deliver an engaging gameplay experience.
In response to the criticism the unannounced game has gotten, Reddit user Rtzx1 wrote in a post: “‘GTA 6 will be so much worse than you expect, I guarantee this.'” Can’t wait for those who hold this opinion to be disproven when GTA 6 is released and is a masterpiece.
Others were inclined to concur, especially in light of the game’s alleged lengthy development period, which can be traced back to 2015—two years after GTA V was launched.
“I would sure as heck hope it’s a fantastic game after spending 6-7+ years to build it and earning billion after billion in money from microtransactions. I don’t get why everyone feels as if GTA 6 will be better than the average game when R* has infinite time and money and is a video game monster.
The single-player component of Rockstar’s games has always been their main selling point and area of concentration. Additionally, most players are eager to take on the roles of Jason and Lucia, the game’s protagonists. Rockstar is also conscious of GTA 6’s desire to impress, and it appears that they are actively pursuing this goal.
“I don’t think GTA 6 can fail, to be honest. Even though they have a tried-and-true formula, they have invested too much money.
Given the extraordinary level of expectation around the game, even before it has been formally announced, it is difficult to fathom a scenario in which GTA VI fails.
Although the release date is unknown, Rockstar’s publisher has stated that it will happen in 2025, which suggests that we may witness gameplay next year.
GTA VI will eventually be released for the Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
