Yeah if the rumors are right it'll be a Bonnie and Clyde thing with a couple. I now want a spin-off centred on the actual Bonnie and Clyde

I bought GTA III, San Andreas, IV and V all on launch day, so I imagine I’ll be buying this

Man f*** GTA V, I’ll forever be salty about how it was just basically a test run for online before being completely ignored once it took off. What are you talking about? They are still adding online updates to GTA 5 to this day.

It's the one franchise that I still mark for (barring GTA online, f*** that noise) so it'll be a day one purchase.
Something I'll either buy a PS5 or Build a new PC for.

Yeah, GTA5 didn't have any single-player expansions or significant DLC. It was all to fuel the GTA Online cash cow.

Going from three playable characters to two seems like a downgrade, but I hated Trevor and barely played him outside of story missions, so maybe it won't be that different for me.

I'm fine with going from three to two characters if it means a more focused narrative. Or if one acts as CPU-controlled ally during missions that can also function as controlled character for co-op.

Yeah, after he forces his way into a young lawyer’s apartment, making it his HQ for a few missions, destroying it, getting literal shit everywhere, and she gets rightfully angry and rightfully tells him to get the f*** out at gunpoint and then Trevor responds by brutal murdering her and her boyfriend (offscreen but heavily implied) .. yeah f*** this asshole.. I did not want to miss content on first play through so let all the protagonists live, but I had to do a second play through just to do the kill Trevor ending. The guy needed a comeuppance, and I was hoping Wade would find out what he did (the boyfriend was his cousin) and would be one to put Trevor down for good.. I thought that would have been some interesting character development.. like he finds out what Trevor did it and gets cleaned up and plotting. And then takes over Trevor’s businesses. But hey at least Trevor suffers if you choose that ending.

That was the turning point for me on Trevor, too. It's one thing to play as an unrepentant psychopath when they're up against characters who are just as bad or worse, but if I find myself empathising with the characters the protagonist is killing I'm out. Even taking into account the satirical and over-the-top nature of the GTA games, I like my protagonists having some redeeming characteristics.

Even taking into account the satirical and over-the-top nature of the GTA games, I like my protagonists having some redeeming characteristics. Pretty sure the canon ending is all 3 protagonists survive. But I would've been fine with Trevor getting it in the end. And Brad (the accomplice who dies at the beginning) was pretty unlikable too. I agree with you about protagonists should have some redeeming qualities. That's why I want a GTA where the protagonist isn't already a hardened criminal, but maybe someone who gets mixed up with a friend who got in with the wrong people, or something like that. The only guy who was "clean" at the beginning of any GTA was Vic Vance in Vice City Stories, and maybe Huang Lee in Chinatown Wars, who was just a spoiled rich kid who would live off his gangster father and wasn't really involved in the business.

That's why I liked CJ in San Andreas. He was a gangbanger but tried to go clean and actually did in Liberty City. But then Los Santos dragged him back in.
I really wouldn't mind if GTA 6 tried out a new setting for once beyond Liberty City, Vice City, or San Andreas.
