We have had all these low level gangsters for so long how about playing as a corrupt cop or a rich exec trying to take over the city? We’ve had these sort of characters in the games before but we only ever play as the same sort of people. Personally I’d like to see a bit more variety in the type of character you are in GTA 6. And that and the fact they’ve been run by ‘gentlemen’s club’ douche-nozzles for at least the past 10-15 years. Something Saints Row has been doing since the second one.Īnd let’s not have any bologna about, ‘Well, we don’t ever really hear about violent, female criminals willing to get their hands dirty.’ Rockstar haven’t done it as female characters only get to be wives and girlfriends in all those gangster movies they watch. What? Start GTA Online all over again from scratch when the existing model can be tweaked and improved with updates? I mean, from anything other than a creative point of view, why? Why would Rockstar bother? Let’s be real, the last time Rockstar were truly creative was around the time of Bully and The Warriors.īut if they were to do such a thing then it’s long past due to have at least the option of a female protagonist. And to be brutally honest, I don’t see that happening. Well, it would be nice to just have GTA 6 exist. That and the dialogue as well, although I worry what will happen to that now that Dan Houser and Lazlow has left. It’s a testament to how enjoyable the basic premise of being a virtual gangster is that people have put with the mediocre gameplay for so long. Not to mention they’ve been doing this for decades now and barely seem to have learnt anything. The fighting, shooting, and car racing is all varying degrees of bad and that just shouldn’t be possible given how much Rockstar spend making these games. And that’s actually a major improvement on the previous ones, which were even worse! GTA 5 is the best-selling game in history and yet it plays like a mediocre AA game from the Xbox 360 era. The most important thing I’d hope for is a major improvement in gameplay. When games such as Sleeping Dogs portrays its criminals as far more multidimensional I wish Rockstar would try something new with its characters and story. Rockstar could have made GTA 5’s Michael a more likeable family man but I found him, his cheating wife, and obnoxious kids loathsome!
