There's a reason they changed the name from expansion to DLC.
Man we don't even get dlc anymore in the past you would get an expansion pack and it would only be like 75 hours of additional content then it became dlc and that was still like the ballad of gay tony undead nightmare now its micro transactions and its a car that was part of the base game that they removed so you can pay for it again
GTA IV DLC was soo good. I was hyped for what theyd do with some smaller stories within GTA V but they never came :(
Im worried about gta 6 the main story is supposed to be much shorter than gta 5 and there apparently going to be combining the main story dlc with gta online
It's not the same Rockstar that was making GTA 1-4 anyways. That ship sailed a long time ago.
As someone who started playing gta 3 and up rdr bully the warriors its hard to let go of old Rockstar that actually cared about there games
That's more like middle aged rockstar if we're being honest. I miss the old top-down GTA games. Killllll frenzy!
GOURANGA
Yeah either way there long dead killed by take two and the stock market
Let's be realistic though, modern Rockstar still made RDR2, which was full of heart. Not saying for sure that GTA6 won't be a cash grab, but modern Rockstar still very much has it in them to make a great game
Afaik they cancelled the expansions for GTA V because they fucked up the launch of GTA Online and needed to fix that instead.
Pretty sure they saw the truckloads of cast piling in and realized they could just scrap the expacs and sprinkle its pieces into Online as paid content.
Thanks Bethesda
