    According to reviews, they cut out content, removed text chat, worsened quality and performance in other parts and added battle pass.

    Can’t even say holy shit to this, it’s just shit.

      I haven’t done a deep dive but initial impressions were - ok I can see a slight difference but not worth the performance impact lol

        When consumers stop paying for GTA V maybe we can have VI.

          It’s funny you say that - if I recall correctly, rockstar plans on maintaining gta v alongside gta 6 hahaha

            I’m still salty about years and years ago when they started banning the modders. Obviously something had to be done, but what ended up happening is the same people bought the game again. In some cases 3 or 4 times over. It was a real eye opener to Rockstar and a dark moment for consumers. They’ve been squeezing the lemon ever since. Now they’re capitalizing selling the same product to a new generation 12 years later.

            You vote with your dollar. If you want a new game, stop buying the old one.

              As an individual you can only push so far. One thing I’ll give rockstar is that their decade old game still manages to outshine most of the 1sr party releases these days - my friends and I jumped on after this recent update and not saying ray tracing is amazing or anything but the humour in the main story hits you so hard. As I’ve grown up this past decade, I’ve become more jaded and cynical hence why I’ve been enjoying GTAV once again haha
