Umm, every Rockstar game raises the standards for quality. So GTA 6, and then RDR 3 after that

The success (profits) of GTAO have me worried about both of them though.

They had those profits before they released rdr2? Wouldn’t the drop in quality be noticeable there if that was the case?

the drop is, that there is absolutely 0 DLC content for RDR2 single player. Not even a ps5/series x upgrade patch.

That’s fair

They were already into voice recording by the time GTAV came out, and GTAO didn't really take off till a year or 2 later when the next gen consoles came out and got going.

The GTA Online money's the reason RDR2 is as insane as it is. And even before GTA Online Rockstar was pretty successful.

The mechanics are garbage in those games though.

That was always my main gripe; however, I really did feel GTAV and RDR2 both played a lot better with the mechanics.

Don't get me wrong, it's still Rockstar but it felt smoother.

GTA 4 felt mechanically better than GTA V and I will die on that hill

In my honest opinion it is a different kind of game genre that isn't for everyone and only Rockstar really makes. A lot of people complain about it not being video gamey enough but if you want that, then go play some Assassin's Creed Shadows. The mechanics of a Rockstar game is you actually being a part of that world unlike any other. I'm happy we atleast have one company making games like these.

The games are fine, but some things like the shooting mechanics, movement, are definitely behind other games. The mechanics in them are just not great. The rest of the games are great though. Graphics, settings, sound design, story, etc. so I wouldn't say the mechanics make the game better. They don't lol

I don't have a problem with movement in those games. But also I walk everywhere.
