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.
Just because there’s a low bar for guaranteed success, doesn’t mean it will actually be good. There’s a lot of hope and expectations to live up to, and a lot of corporate greed opportunities to resist.
