    GTA 4 was the last great one, especially with the DLCs. 10 years of GTA v and not one single player dlc. Red dead as well, despite the series being ripe for a Sadie dlc

      GTA V is a masterpiece. What they did with gta online and all the micro transactions on the other hand is really shitty. But that doesn’t change the fact that single player gta 5 is a really really good game.

      They didn’t milk it until later

      They cancelled every piece of single player DLC in order to force people online and towards the Shark Cards.

      I never finished it, but I’ve still enjoyed what I’ve played of it. I’ve also never played online. The whole point of GTA is that you can do whatever you want without affecting any real people. Making it multiplayer was never a good idea.

        There was a short period of time where GTA Online was perfection to me. Some QoL stuff hit and you didn’t need to spend real money to hold your own decently while running around. Didn’t last long.

        multiplayer wasn’t possible until gta5, so they weren’t purposely making it not affect real people, that was just the nature of the technology. Gta online in its hay day was fucking amazing.

    The nanosecond GTA6 is available for purchase everyone complaining about this will be smashing that add to cart button and pretending there was never an issue

      That’s what we want, though? This isn’t about boycotting them, it’s about being burned out on waiting and seeing re-releases on new platforms.

    All I do with GTA at this point in my life is get in a car, cruise around for a while. Like I do in real life when I need my brain to chill but this uses no gas.

    You’d all still complain about them milking the series if they made a bunch more sequels instead.

    Well, why wouldn’t they if ppl keep buying and paying? Same with Skyrim. We can all complain about them overly relying on their one trick pony, if ppl keep paying, they’d be stupid not to give those ppl something to pay for.

        Also - I’d have totally bought single player DLC from them, but I guess why make a $40 DLC that people only buy once when you can sell $1000’s in shark cards to a few whales over and over again.

        Honestly I’m not even that interested in GTA6 at this point, I don’t do GTAO (too grindy) and it’s painfully clear that Rockstar doesn’t give a shit about single player anymore. Hell even in RDR2, a shitload of content that could have easily been ported to single player is locked down in online mode
