I spent a half a thousand dollars on a next-gen console anticipating next-gen content. I thought maybe, the visually stunning and technically intricate Red Dead Redemption 2 would be the baseline standard which the next gen would necessarily exceed. Since i purchased my Series X i've almost exclusively played 10 to 15 year old games because they are superior to anything coming out now.
Starfield? No. Star Wars Outlaws? No. Skull and Bones? Hell to the no.
Fallout New Vegas, Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Far Cry 3? Yes. Bioshock, The Witcher 3, GTA4? Hell to the yes.
It's a long time coming but my last hope is that Rockstar once again shames the rest of the studios so badly that it shocks them into... idk... competence, at least. But by then my next-gen investment will be almost obsolete.
Y'all might have a point about the inflation-adjusted price. I would pay a hundred bucks for GTA6 if it's up to Rockstar snuff. But i seriously doubt more money will improve quality in general. As it is they can't raise prices because the games suck. Maybe that's circular. Maybe.
Also let's don't forget that GTA5 makes $800 million/yr off Shark Cards for its online mode. Kinda ironic since they are unironically exploitative.
