5 things fans don't want to see in GTA 6

As anticipation continues to grow for Grand Theft Auto 6, gamers are hoping Rockstar Games takes a lesson from the past and provides a new, improved experience. While the initial trailer has already gotten off to a great start with beautiful graphics and a colorful environment, there are still some nagging fears about what might go wrong. Here are five things fans absolutely don't want to see when GTA 6 finally goes on sale.


1. Too much emphasis on microtransactions


GTA Online has been immensely lucrative for Rockstar but has also angered players with a growing emphasis on microtransactions. Fans worry GTA 6 will push even more aggressively towards pay-to-win mechanics. Players are hoping for an economy that's well-balanced with grinding being rewarding, not tedious, to make people spend.


2. A dull or repeated storyline


GTA has never been short on snappy writing and vivid characters. But if GTA 6 gets mired in an unoriginal cycle of missions or doesn't come through with well-developed protagonists, then it will seem empty. Players are looking for a rich story that builds emotional investment, not yet another crime rampage that lacks substance.


3. Uninspired map design


One of the best things about GTA is always its open worlds. People want a map that is alive, detailed, and fun to explore. The last thing anyone would want is a dull, oversized map that has large amounts of empty space in it. Fans are expecting dynamic cities and rural areas full of secrets, events, and personality.


4. Poorly optimized launch


Gamers haven't forgotten the troubled releases of other big games in recent history. A buggy or rough GTA 6 release would be a nightmare. Fans are hoping Rockstar makes sure the game is completely optimized for all consoles and PC at launch, even if it means delaying the release slightly.


5. A weak customization system


Customization is now a top expectation in open-world games. The fans demand deep character, vehicle, and property customization, not limited or standard choices. GTA 6 must provide gamers the ability to build truly unique experiences, from rich avatars to highly customized cars and hideouts.


GTA 6 can reinvent open-world gaming all over again, but Rockstar has to be careful. By sidestepping these pitfalls, they can provide an experience that surpasses, not just meets, sky-high expectations that fans have had for decades.
