Because it will be full of micro transactions and bullshit content no-one asked for, with anti cheat horseshit that will pretty much be a virus on your computer.

Sad thing is that it'll still sell millions because most people don't even know when they are being served shit.

No doubt it'll also have Denuvo, just to make the game run even worse too.

maybe I’m just burned out on AAA games

I know I am.

Im completelly opposide. Its maybe only AAA game im intrested in long time.

Mostly because of their track record. I have been playing GTA since the very first top down game and every main game in the series has pushed the games further.

Thinking how big leaps every game has done, i cant wait to see what kind of the beast 6 is going to be.

I just want trains to work in this new game. They never make trains work properly they're always just indestructible juggernauts and are therefore boring. GTA V had submarines but not drivable trains.

It's just so meh. Another city, you're a criminal doing crime. There are just games with much better stories or mechanics at this point. I don't get the hype around it.

I'm the same but I may just be getting older. Last game I was hyped for was Cyberpunk 2077 coming off of the stellar Witcher 3 and having followed both games I loved, W1 & W2. Sometime before it released, I just dropped all hype for it and haven't felt the same after. Haven't even played it yet either.

Today, I let myself be pleasantly surprised by games I never thought I'd like. I really liked Death Stranding and I'm waiting for its sequel but still no hype... I haven't even seen the trailer yet and I doubt I will... I'll buy it and go in blindly. Just have a PS for Sony's once a year AAA and that's it for AAA gaming. Most other days, its just AA or indie games on PC.. which is where I find a lot more flavor. As an example, this month, I've played Minami Lane, MudRunner and Art of Rally and starting Tactical Breach Wizards soon.

I'm holding out some hope for GTA VI still. Reason being, while Cyberpunk promised to be super duper everything interconnected magic programming to follow an absolutely awesome but technologically realistic game (Witcher 3), I haven't seen hype like that for GTA VI. The expectation is to get a well polished freeroam game with lots of fun toys to play around with, a story that's hopefully long enough to be worth the game's price, and a new Online mode that gets updates over time. Basically GTA V with a new city and a more polished game overall, but no exponential leaps - despite the fact that the budget is much larger than Cyberpunk.

But I mean MudRunner is also awesome. Couldn't get into Death Stranding myself, just wasn't feeling it. Should pick up Art of Rally soon. Tons of great AA and indie games out there if GTA VI flops indeed.
