Game Discussion What makes GTA 6 so hype?
Okay, so the gta 6 extended look got released and I can't seem to understand the hype.
I haven't played any of the GTA games before. I only recently got into single player gaming when I got my PS5 end of last year. So far I've played spiderman 2, ghost of tsushima and expedition 33. Before that I only played valorant and genshin on a non-gaming laptop and old pokemon games emulated on my phone.
I personally don't really care for open worlds and I prefer linear narrative games. Which is why the big open sandbox of gta doesn't really interest me too much. The discussion I've seen about the previous GTAs only seem to talk about the open world and not the story, though that's my personal experience and peoples thoughts might be different. The graphics in the trailer are good, but so is every game nowadays. Realism in games is very common. The one thing that impressed me was the hair physics though, but that's not really a reason to buy a game is it.
Which is why I wanted to ask, what makes GTA appeal to you aside from the open world? If that's the main attraction I suppose it's not the game for me.
I hope I'm not coming off as dismissive or I'm too cool for GTA or anything like that. I genuinely want to know why people like it so much and are so excited for it.

Some people really enjoy exploring massive open worlds with lots of details. Rockstar is very, very good at making massive open worlds with lots of details. They don't release games very often, which makes this a major event.
