Will GTA 6 live up to the hype? (lemm.ee)

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.

I don't know much about GTA, but I have a hard time imagining GTA6 being anything less than a gigantic success. It doesn't need to be a massive improvement over GTA5, it just needs to be a noticeable upgrade. The only way I can see it failing is if they get too greedy with their live service model, but even then it's still probably going to sell like 40 million copies in its first year.

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.
