- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

GTA 6 is going to be a shitshow. Everything from Rockstar/Take-Two over the last couple years is screaming this.
I think the singleplayer, aka the important bit, is going to be good. Leaks looked pretty promising. Probably not going to be as revolutionary as people expect after 10+ years of hype and speculation, but still probably a top tier video game surpassing their previous titles in many aspects. Online is probably going to be biggest shitshow of all time, though. Microtransactions, FOMO, subscriptions, battle passes, the works. Every bad thing about games as a service packed into one, with the additional bonus being that Rockstar can't program a multiplayer to save their lives, so it's going to be peer 2 peer, with the shitties netcode and matchmaking possible and absolutely zero protection from hackers. You know, like their last two multiplayers.
GTAO will be the main focus. SP will be an thing due to traditions.
Rockstar Games ALWAYS makes the greatest online shitshow IMO.
If any game dev wants to know how to make a good multiplayer, just do the opposite of Rockstar lmao
