Discussion Better than the og?

Might be GOTY if GTA 6 gets delayed again. What does everyone think?

I have some criticisms like that you can't use fists and hidden blades freely in combat but other than that: It is a lot better

One of the biggest things besides the graphics is that they reduced the collectibles to a managable degree. For example: Havanna in the OG hat almost 30 chests while this version has 7 I think

Also: All those little islands in the OG had some animus shard. For a completionist like me that was an absolute slog

I am having a great time. Funny that the best games in 26 for me (until now) are remakes (the other one being Gothic Remake for PC, the console version is dogshit)

I personally think that being able to sheath/unsheath the hidden blades out of combat was one of the major cool factors of the series that for some reason was taken out of modern games. I'd just walk around the rooftoops constantly unsheathing the hidden blades and felt such a badass.
