GTA 6: 10 Major GTA 5 Problems It Must Fix
9. Weak Combat
As marvellously engineered as Rockstar's games tend to be, there's no getting around it - the combat is painfully mediocre, if not outright bad.
For as advanced as both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 were, their gunplay feels strangely floaty and overly reliant on the game's auto-aim system to ensure your bullets go where you intend.
Given that third-person console shooters had perfected this years before GTA V's release - Gears of War, anyone? - it's one aspect of its gameplay which felt positively behind-the-times in 2013, and certainly today.
GTA VI absolutely needs to introduce a new combat model, though if Red Dead Redemption 2 is any indication, Rockstar knows that their games will still sell by the truckload regardless, so they might not feel compelled to offer up much in the way of innovation.
All the same, players are going to be considerably less forgiving of a game releasing in 2025 with gunplay that unrefined.
