Crossposting from the Red Dead Redemption thread, but a rating for RDR2 on the Switch was leaked on a Brazilian government ratings site.

If RDR2 somehow makes it onto the Switch before GTA V, then something else has to be happening behind the scenes preventing it from being ported there because if the Switch can even remotely handle RDR2 (let alone store all its data) there's no reason it can't handle GTA V.
it's simpler than you think

Switch would shat itself in GTAO
 
If you're still playing GTAO (which you shouldn't), R* is nerfing Cayo Perico again. Payouts for primary and secondary target that aren't the Madrazo files, pink diamond and gold will be reduced in the next update. They say they're doing this to get players to play other GTAO content.
Players found a way to farm money through the paywalls that R* themselves imposed, and now it's a problem. Tell me again why I should play GTA Online.

Every few months I reinstall the game and insta-complete few delivery missions using kiddion's mod menu. That way I can fuck around with the new toys they added while I was busy playing something else, and with zero grind.
The game is kinda fun that way, seriously.
 
The political correctness will kill any monetization, that's the best bit. I personally think that R* can't release GTA 6 and that's why it's taking too long. They can't release edgy humour because of cancellation, they can't release safe humour because it would be boring. They're stuck.
Crime stories set in Current Year are almost impossible to make due to organized crime groups losing influence in modern times and most companies don't won't to risk getting accused of racism for having dark-skinned scumbag criminals in their products, which is why I think the majority of GTA V's story is one-half heist story and the other half about getting involved with the feud between the not-FBI and the not-CIA.

God I haven't kept up with GTAO for so long I almost forgot about people still grinding Cayo heists.

The best update I think I've actually had the most fun with was the Tuners update. I liked the street races with police chases that made me feel reminiscent of Midnight Club. And the mini heists were actually pretty fun.
 
GTA 6 is going to be humourless, because the only humour will be reddit-tier snarkquips and taking the piss out of trump.

lol, I can't wait to see it sell 10's of millions of copies on the first day, then be entirely forgotten within a month.
If the people who's in charge of GTAO's writing is also working on GTA6, it's fucking over

Almost every new characters introduced in GTAO are terribly written . They had to bring already well established characters back, Franklin and Lamar just to get attention from players

RDO was okay but Rockstar will never finish the plotline

This is rich

Rockstar could either fix the economy so people don't feel the need to grind the best paying thing, or they could make actual good content. Or both, really.

But for 5 years now, they haven't done any of this. Hell, you could argue more like 7 years now really.

They say they're doing this to get players to buy more Shark Cards. play other GTAO content.
The remaining option would be repeat a solo VIP Missions for Dr. Dre or duo finale on Diamond Heist.

If R* wants player to do other "fun" content such as...
  1. Revamped Special Cargo source missions, which actually takes longer to complete now and still buggy with their air cargo sales.
  2. Do Motorcycle Club businesses with the chance of having to sell the products with either Trashmaster or Postal van. 1 word: Suffer.
  3. Do Bunker Run with Bandito and requires you to deliver all products to unusual areas to reach. Have fun being slow and get killed easily with skeletal car that has no protection at all from gunshots.
  4. Do Nightclub's hub business with either Mule or Pounder which also cannot be remove once purchased. It's not fun using those for sale run and too slow to drive.
  5. Do buggy I/E source run is now completely randomized despite below 32 cars. The sale car also no longer has bulletproof tyres against Blue Sultans, unless the bug has been fixed somehow.
  6. Do Contract Mission or other activities that barely pays even with multiplier bonus and best to leave alone if you have actual business assets already.
  7. Do 10 waves of Survival mode without a failure or else it's just a massive waste of time to use for grinding and very difficult too against AIs with aimbots and buggy burst shots that can kill you in a split second.
  8. etc.
Then I glad I left the game and will not return ever again.
 
I was really not impressed with the GTA 6 leaks. I know I shouldn't judge the game by it's early developmental footage, but I know exactly how the game will look when it releases, everyone here does.
It takes place in Vice City, so what? Without the charming characters and neon lights it means nothing, and this game will not have either. Due to current year and nu-Rockstar, there won't be any good writing or edgy humour either, so what's the point? Gameplay wise, GTA5 was inferior to GTA 4, why wouldn't GTA 6 continue the cycle, especially if GTAO is any indication where the future of the franchise lies?
Might be a hot take, but franchise peaked with Vice City. It was a perfect game, San Andreas was way too big for it's britches and I had to start it over several times to actually finish it(The Country segment is pure filler and goes on for way too long). Many of the elements in that game were also unneeded and were only added to make the game even bigger than the last, Vice City had less but it mattered more due to a smaller(yet still large) map and missions/side activities that were more fun to do(except the RC missions, fuck those). Who needed or asked for RPG stats in a GTA game? Hell, Gang Wars were almost entirely pointless too since you're kicked out of Los Santos so early, there must be other features I can't even remember at the moment that could be cut and nobody would be worse for wear. Can't think of any features Vice City could use, on the other hand, other than swimming, besides that the game had everything it needed already.
 
FYI for those who for some reason do Cayo Perico

Somebody not praising GTA: SA as GOAT.

I felt the same way about SA. The countryside felt like filler, the RPG mechanics felt intrusive, the gangland aspect ended too soon, half the activities amounted to busy work, don't even get me started on interiors. Maybe I'm spoiled with modern gaming, I don't hate SA. It's just not my preferred GTA.

The best update I think I've actually had the most fun with was the Tuners update. I liked the street races with police chases that made me feel reminiscent of Midnight Club. And the mini heists were actually pretty fun.
The tuner update was the first time I was online for a launch. I was super stoked, then the niggers came about with shitty dialog and honeychild empowered negress bullshit. Totally ruined it for me. The game in general seemed to be headed the way of full nigger, but that did it for me. GTA 3 was the best in so far as the character was just a criminal doing criminal shit. Being forced into playing into nigger culture is fucking gay. I just want to shoot shit and steal things, maybe some car bombs? nah have some more niggers. The constant phone calls from businesses is annoying as well, with no option to mute calls its just stupid. Lets not forget all the flying cars and stupid scifi shit, no one in voice chat doing proper shit talk, and the endless stream of hackers constantly fucking shit up. GTA 6 will just be more gay shit. I'll stick to my modded offline game when I get the urge to be a criminal.
 
then the niggers came about with shitty dialog and honeychild empowered negress bullshit.
Same, that was the first thing that annoyed me right off the bat. I went online to try to figure out how to turn it off, but the only way was to turn off the voice slider in the audio options. Apparently so many players were annoyed by the phone sex even people on reddit were asking how to turn it off.

One of the missions that just made me laugh my ass off was where you're supposed to break into a CIA interrogation room because some guy with a super secret meth recipe is being held there. And apparently the CIA torturing this guy wasn't enough to break him into talking, but some how Afro man threatening him over the phone did. At that point I sort of knew what writing to expect out of GTA 6.
