Staring at an NPC too long gets his dog unleashed on you. Finally, a game that respects my social anxiety.

The 2015 date is the key one. Rockstar started Miami research 3 years before RDR2 even launched, and Edge says the two overlapped for years.That’s why so much of this list (honor-style Criminal Profile, NPC memory, relationships) feels like RDR2 moved into a modern city.

I got bored of GTA V real quick and just went wild with cheat codes, but GTA 6 looks like it’ll keep me playing for a long time 😁

A map twice the size of GTA 5 is great news, but a big map only works if the time between points stays interesting. When it ships, time your first two hours and count how many unplanned detours you take; that tells you more than any size comparison.

The only thing that I’ve heard about this game that I don’t like is that you can’t buy property. I don’t know if that’s super confirmed or true but that’s the one thing I really am not a fan of, but that’s just being nitpicky. Lol
