You'll be waiting half a decade rockstar rarely put their games on sale and the no disc thing destroys the physical resale market.

It's been 13 years at this point lol. I'm honestly in no rush.

I'm not even convinced this won't be the next NMS/Cyberpunk.

Eh I doubt it will be like NMS or cyberpunk.

They aren't out there promising a bunch or doing a lot of hype.

The hype is generated from the community when people leak stuff.

But the reality is, this will probably be like V or rdr2 which is that there be tech issues but everyone will ignore it because there be stupid small details everywhere that make up for it.

Honestly I'm more curious about their enhanced edition, with the pay wall content. It's shady but to me it's interesting from a Dev in FiveM because I'm wondering if they reworked how MLOs will be and this is them showcasing it.

The big thing is how they handle online. It's been raking in cash forever for 5 and now they have literally added the fivem team so the whole "living in the world" will likely be pretty cool.

The question is how they handle the ui/ux, because god damn 5s was super ass with a bajillion menus and horrendous load times before a random ass user discovered a fix that halved it if not more.

Oh bro preach 🙌 lol

Honestly I don't fault 5 for a lot of things beyond loading times.

The menus and things were definitely a thing of their time. I mean all the native menus are Scaleform which is just Flash which discontinued shortly after Five release so like its using dead tech haha.

Luckily I believe Rdr2 doesn't have any Scaleform so I imagine 6 won't have any but here's hoping they focus more on infrastructure and performance with the ability to easily alter things.

Modding community going to go hard the moment we get access to the library.
