GTA V: 10 Reasons Why It Might Not Be Awesome

Title]

You can€™t have failed to notice Grand Theft Auto V is close. In just a few short months we€™ll all be away from the computer and glued to the television screen absorbing Rockstar's latest instalment in the series that still rules open world gaming. Changing what didn€™t work with it€™s predecessor (driving, friends) and refining what did (everything else), it is without a doubt the most anticipated game of the year.

The series has grown from traditional PC roots to be a brand synonymous with quality gaming, brushing away controversy like a Tank knocks away anything in it€™s path. Each game has been a step up, adding new concepts and creating more and more detailed, living worlds. It now stands at the point where even a logo reveal or a single still can having the most passive fans salivating.

But in the slow drip feed of trailers and information as the game crawls towards release, we can€™t help but remain minorly sceptical. Far from expecting a bad game, we fear that some of the hype might be slightly misplaced. GTA V will still be good, but a lot of what we€™ve heard from developers Rockstar leads us to believe it won€™t match or beat their incredibly high bar.

Here's ten reasons why we're more than a little skeptical about GTA V€™s masterpiece status. Some look at how the game could pose a disappointment for fans and others at how it could spell sadness for Rockstar, but all have us worried.
