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. Or at the very least one protagonist who is determined to get out of the criminal life, and not a half-measure like Michael who's pressured to get out by his family but really misses being on the wrong side of the law. It's a different franchise, but give us more Arthur Morgans and fewer Michah Bells. I don't expect the same gravitas that the Red Dead games have, but playing as a guy who isn't blowing peoples' heads off and laughing about it afterwards within five minutes of their introduction would be a nice bit of variety, especially when multiple protagonists are in play.

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. It's just a shame CJ couldn't ignore his deluded brother and got himself dragged back into it.

I honestly don't know what these games have to offer any more that isn't just 'more content'.
I had no interest in the online play, so maybe that's what the new thing was with V, but the solo campaign on V I thought felt like it achieved nothing new if not feeling actively regressive - I always found it absolutely outrageous that the only ending with a good final mission or any effort put in, was the one where you keep the band together after all.
But yeah, like. Where else is there for this franchise to go? It feels like it'll just be another GTA V but with a bigger map. And more side missions and activities that literally nobody wants, like f***ing yoga.

We're about to find out what the effect of losing Dan Houser was to Rockstar. There's a chance he worked a bit on this game before leaving the company, but he wouldn't have had a part in development for at least four years by now.

He wasn’t in a gang anymore but was still stealing cars and mugging people (see The Introduction).

GTA V came out 10 years ago, I'm quite alright with VI not being revolutionary and just being more single player content. Especially with the rumours that Rockstar has big single player DLC planned this time around

All I really want from a GTA game is good controls and fun missions. So it's been awhile.

I did like Tommy Vercetti as a protagonist. An unrepentant criminal, to be sure, but entertaining, had some values and pretty much all of his ire was against people just as bad as he was. CJ seemed like they shot back and forth too much where they tried to make him sympathetic, but then had him murdering innocent people for OG Loc.

Not gonna lie, I found that pretty underwhelming. I'm sure I'll get a bit more hyped as more details are released, but it just kinda looks like a GTA5 Florida reskin with added TikTok.

To put things in perspective about game development these days, it took 12 (2001-2013) years to get all the 3D GTA games prior.
It will take 12 years since then to get just this one.
