I am not interested in the slightest into this game. If you're waiting for a proper GTA game, you probably won't be getting it. This is GTA Online 2.0 and nothing else. Don't be fooled. This is the only thing that Take-Two cares about now and this is what it will be.
You will get your single player because of course but I wouldn't be expecting much from it. I'm expecting something that probably won't hit as hard as previous entries did. GTA V was already large step down from GTA IV. I'm expecting a very basic single player game with very basic lukewarm social satire.
This game will be primarily focused on GTA Online, and I know you're going to tell me that GTA 5 was like that, but I don't think they expected to make as much money as they did from it. This one though, they know they will and therefore they will have focused everything on it to make it an even larger money maker.
If you don't believe me, I invite you to take a look at Red Dead Redemption 2, which was an amazing game with an amazing single player, but they tried to make money from the online component and didn't manage to do so, and therefore look at what happened to that game. The online component and therefore its community has been completely abandoned, and that game is now buried in the older generations of console, forever stuck at 30 FPS with medium to lox textures.
We will never get a next-gen update of RDR2 and we will never get another game like GTA 4. GTA 6 will be the absolute final boss of live service games. And even with a stick, I'm not touching that one.
