10 Simple Ways Rockstar Could Ruin GTA 6

9. Shoe-Horning In Too Much Realism

On that note, it'd be wise for Rockstar to retain the balance between measured reality and all-out over-the-top nonsense GTA is known for.

The dev team have dabbled with more real-life elements before; remember how buff CJ could get if he hit the gym regularly in San Andreas? How about the other end of the scale, and how portly he'd become after chowing down on endless pizzas from Well Stacked? It was a nice touch, albeit one tempered by the fact it didn't really impact the game.

By injecting their titles with too much realism or humdrum things like eating, drinking and sleeping, Rockstar would also run the risk of ruining the core experience. Let's not forget that characters in GTA's world are 'always on' superhumans who take a hit to their wallet more than their health if they're mowed down by a bus.

In short, it'd be sweet to see Rockstar experiment, but only if they're willing to recognise the pitfalls hardcore gameplay would have on the overall fun factor.
