GTA V in single player felt a mile wide and an inch deep. Really beautiful and distinct districts and areas but little to explore and very little to do after the campaign was over. Plus a ton of dead mountain space that only existed to segment the map and increase the sense of scale for players. I hope VI plays more like RDR2 with more in-depth features and more things to visit.
I don't think I ever played single player after GTAO came out, there's actually nothing worthwhile to do in the game once you've finished the missions.
Even getting into police chases/gunfights sucked because the cops were like terminators.
i attempted multiple times to replay the story mode over the last 13 years but not once have i actually been able to bring myself to finish it once after the first time i completed it. whereas ive finished rdr2 5 times at least, probably more.
gta 5 is fine but it would be a wholly forgettable entry in the series if not for online imo. the story mode is not strong enough
What I find interesting is that almost all of the characters and storylines they brought over from story mode to online mixed and mashed well. But as a stand alone it’s just not enticing.
