There are several features that Rockstar should avoid adding in GTA 6 if it wants the title to flourish to ensure players have a pleasant experience. The studio has promised to deliver an exceptional title with next-level graphics and gameplay. However, this should not come at the cost of annoying features.
The current title, GTA 5, and its online multiplayer mode suffer from several things that should never have made it to the final cut. The Grand Theft Auto games that came before it also have things the upcoming title can do without. This article will present a list of features that Rockstar Games should avoid adding in GTA 6 at all costs.
Note: The article is subjective and solely based on the writer's opinion.
5 features that Rockstar should avoid adding in GTA 6
1) Persistent phone calls from NPCs
Among the various features that Rockstar should avoid adding to GTA 6 are persistent phone calls from NPCs. While some of them can be cut short, others last a while.
In various games in this franchise, characters give you a ring each time you start a new session. This is a common occurrence in GTA Online, and players do not wish to see it in GTA 6 or its online multiplayer mode.
2) Yoga
GTA 5 has various interesting side activities that provide moments of relaxation and fun. However, yoga is certainly not one of them. It is annoying, difficult, and offers no real benefit. Being connected to a rage-inducing mission does not help its case either.
The unskippable mission unlocks this side activity that players can perform whenever they want from then on. That said, yoga poses take a lot of effort and unnecessary grinding. This makes the activity one of the features that Rockstar should avoid adding in GTA 6. The studio can include something like Tennis instead, which is much more fun and engaging.
3) Stealth Walk
Crouch was a basic feature that had been in the Grand Theft Auto franchise since the beginning. However, the developer decided to remove it from GTA 5 and introduce stealth walking instead. It is one of the most frustrating things in the game that players loathe.
Unable to crouch means you have to run for cover as bullets start flying. You cannot lower yourself to avoid getting hit since you cannot perform this basic action. This is a big reason why the stealth walk feature is immensely hated in the game. As such, it's among the features that Rockstar should avoid adding in GTA 6. The game should allow you to crouch, just like in the older titles.
4) Overpowered flying vehicles
Overpowered flying vehicles have made GTA Online extremely frustrating. Players are always in danger of getting hit by an Oppressor MK II while minding their business. There should not be flying motorcycles or other overpowered vehicles in the upcoming title.
This will ensure everyone has a fair chance during combat and ease of mind when exploring the map. Avoiding this feature will reduce a lot of chaos and will likely see a drop in toxic players as well.
5) Cops spawning out of nowhere
Cops in GTA games are formidable foes. Unfortunately, their existence has become an extremely annoying feature in GTA 5's online counterpart. They can spawn out of nowhere and shoot down players. Their AI isn't sophisticated, and the confrontations feel forced and bland.
Naturally, the police spawning around you randomly and putting you out of your misery is one of the features that Rockstar should avoid adding in GTA 6. If the game's leaked gameplay holds any truth, then the studio has worked on this feature, and the police AI will be much better in the upcoming title. This will be a blessing for everybody who plays GTA 6 when it eventually comes out.
