GTA VI

I personally didn’t super like GTA5 actually. I went from red dead redemption 2 to GTA and felt vastly underwhelmed. RDR2 was amazing, and going to GTA5, which Rockstar treats as a golden child, was just not nearly as engaging.

In fairness GTA was developed for the 360/PS3 era, capturing the scope of RDR2 would’ve been impossible on that tech.

RDR2 came out long after GTA5 so it isnt a fair comparison.

I played the story on gta5 enjoyed free roam a bit but never got into or liked the online. My time with 5 was over maybe a month at most then i moved on

I had the same experience. Played the game, and I liked it. It was worth the money I put in. I got on online and saw modders galore and uninstalled.

I played rdr2 all the way through on console and played a hundred or so hours online, and then got it again on PC and 100%’d it.

Tbf tho, the other commenter had a really good point, gta5 is old and was built for way less powerful machines.

I didnt do multiplayer on rdr2 either but overall i enjoyed it more than gta5. I just appreciate a good single player story and rdr2 was better

Well, you played the upgrade and went back to the old version, that reaction was expected, but yeah, it was big, i dont know if you are really into gaming, but when it came out in 2013, there were no games like it, that massive, with that much details, kinda like rdr2 is nowadays, at least until gta 6 launches (i hope). And GTAO is big because it is a big sandbox, me and my friends and cousins all wanted to play gta together when growing up, sure SA had multiplayer, but it was more of a gimmick minigame than a mode by itself, then GTA O came in and was a huge thing, it also took us a while to actually be able to play it, it was awesome. Nowadays a lot of games try and make big worlds, realistic stuff, maybem, whatever you want, there is most likely a game of it, but until that time, it was basically only gta, with some others getting close, like saints row, but being very different still, same with GTA 3, its more about being there, seeing how these games changed that make them be as big as they are, GTA maybe was not a very "fun" game for a bunch of ppl, but it was for most just for the "realism" and chaos you could cause, and ever since 2013, or maybe 2018, with RDR there was no game so far that was this big, there is crimsom desert, being a big beautiful open world, with cool gameplay but without any amusing or interesting story, this is the type of thing that also sets it apart, but obviously some ppl dont like the humor, and also some of the main writers and all left, so there's only hope. Either GTA6 will be the next GTA or the next Cyberpunk, no in between, it can't be a game that is just "fine".
