    I’m actually intrigued, not much of GTA player myself, however I want to know:

    • fans reaction, since Rockstar kinda bungled the recent remasters / re-releases of RDR and GTA definitive version
    • Rockstar’s approach to the new game, since I believed that they made lots more of money from GTA Online
    • how the tone / jokes in the game would be. Those satirical jokes about America might not work anymore, since the actual country has become so absurd.

      I liked GTA V and I think RDR2 was a wild change of pace so I’m interested to see how (if at all) they implement RDR2 style systems into the game. Hopefully that means less GTA:SA/GTA IV chores though. Those SUCKED. I am 100000% going to wait on this one though, after the remasters it really just seems like Rockstar is after cash and nothing else.

      I do hope that after the travesty of RDR Online and the sort-of-disaster of GTA Online (it made them a lot of money but people hated it) they learn from their mistakes. I don’t doubt there’ll be an online mode. One of the major problems with GTA Online was just that they kept updating it without a really good direction for it, so maybe this time they’ll start off on the right foot. It seemed that way with RDR Online but they fucked up the economy to the point of no return.

      Eh, the actual country has gotten absurd but I think a lot of the GTA V jokes are still very prescient. Just replace the scientology jokes with QAnon jokes.
