Honestly I can’t give a crap about the next gta. I highly doubt they are gonna make any actual gameplay changes to their outdated mission structure.

At this point just looking forward to it releasing so that people will shut up about it already. πŸ˜‚

"Outdated mission structure" just triggered something in me. Last gta I bought was 4. Got fed up with "new mission: drive to this faraway place and do difficult thing, if you fail restart from the beginning of the driving bit". I abandoned 4 at that one mission where I had to lay siege to a skyscraper under construction and I kept losing the shootout and had to drive back there again. Kinda stopped playing, lost interest and never went back since.
Edit: just remembered that there was a mod to add save-anywhere to the game, I even tried that but couldn't get it to work and that's where I gave up.

I remember when "GTA clone" was a type of game that some studios went after, with varying success. Saints Row did a great job at having that which GTA 4 lacked: fun over realism. SR3, the non remastered version, still holds up incredibly well. Being so balls to the wall and over the top was a great choice

I actually have SR3 on GOG! I must get around to play it someday...

The opening mission sets the tone incredibly well. If that kind of humor doesn't suit you, you probably wont enjoy the rest of the game. Otherwise, turn the brain off and nod along for a good time
