Gta 6 direction right now is much better and has allot of opportunity for emotional scenarios.

Wow, thanks for the tip. I'd never heard of that series before now. Sounds very similar to what I described. Just wishlisted it, I think I'll need to find some Japanese whiskey before I start playing.

the game itself kind of just devolves into more yakuza style gameplay.

but the Yagami detective agency and the premise is very much in line with what you mention. The detective aspects of the games can be fun though, especially with RGG ability to get silly, it make some sidequests pretty funny.

All three don't sound like GTA so I don't know about this. If true, then good I guess?

Should have gone with a bent copper angle Vic Macky style. Would have been great playing both sides.

Imagine having a 5 star wanted level with the gangs chasing you down as bad lutenant

Now I really want some developers out there to greenlight and ramp up development on a competent and charming AA OW crime-sim/GTA clone. Its a shame all those GTA clones went the way they did. Take2/Rockstar have basically no competition atm. A SR2-ish game, or some equivalent, could fill the void right now.

Have you tried Minds Eye?

Not yet. Its still on the way. Its release date got been delayed over here possibly due to the ongoing controversy. The devs might be pushing to fix it as much as possible as they can prior to launch.

Was a mear jest my friend, best staying away from that title from most accounts. At least until a few patches anyway.

I see. Well, I'm still keeping an open mind. I've read the controversies, but they don't deter me from checking it out for myself. I get most people may not want to do that though.

People keep talking like framerate is the only issue, but the real problem is there's barely a game underneath

There are no meaningful systems, no player agency, no combat depth, no progression to speak of, it's just a string of shallow, disconnected set pieces. It doesn't feel unfinished, it feels unimagined

A coat of polish isn't going to save something this fundamentally empty

Especially not these guys

I swear some people forget (or fail to acknowledge) that RDR2 is literally the biggest and most detailed game ever made. Yes EVER.

Despite how you "feel" about the game it doesn't change the fact that RDR2 is completely on a different level technically. Nobody in the industry can even keep up.
Hell, most never even matched the nuance and details shown in their early PS2 GTA games.

RDR2 was a massive undertaking, that is a whole generation of work. So when people question the gap between GTA V and VI, well, that's your answer. You might not like that answer or try to throw shade on RDR2, but nobody in the industry can do what Rockstar does.

"The grieving policewoman was replaced by an African-American man, a former soldier, released from prison and falling into the criminal underworld."

Could it be that Lucia was a policewoman who went to prison and falls into Jason's criminal arms of love?

 

[RoboCain]

Not really buying it. There's no way executives at Take Two would veto writing choices by the Houser brothers? Like who exactly at the Publisher has the creative authority to doubt the duo that made the best selling AAA video game in human history???

Producers, that's who. People that like to buy their way into the creative process. GTA V already reeks of studio meddling, and now Jason looks like a Far Cry character is a bit obvious.

 

[peish]

Y'all live in a bubble. GTA V / Online alone made them more money than all previous GTA titles put together.

There's also the case where they have the best selling videogam that released in the PS era /GTAV) and the best selling game released in the PS4 era (RDR2). That will help their case.

such is life, unfair much that those lazy bums can coast through it.

They should hire Neil Druckman for a perfect revenge story.
