This is the kind of pretentious garbage that hurts the forum.
On topic:
You're assuming that everyone was disappointed with GTA4, and that it was some kind of huge disaster. I disagree completely. I had a very fun time with the game, and I went in with high expectations. Was it as good as the reviews said? No, no game would be. I didn't think Ocarina of Time lived up to the reviews, nor Super Mario Galaxy. 10/10 scores across the board are never very representative of a game's quality.
And you're also assuming that Rockstar has done everything they can with GTA. I apologize if you weren't actually making assumptions, but whatever. There are plenty of things left to do in GTA. That's the great thing about open world, sandbox titles: there's always the opportunity for more features and more fun things to do. Calling GTA4 a "disaster" is just silly.
Red Dead Redemption, even if it has a similar style, is hardly a replacement for GTA. The Grand Theft Auto franchise is massive. It's among the top ten selling videogame franchises EVER, and it did that it only 2 generations. Plus, GTA4 (combined) sold more than Vice City. That's pretty impressive given the much lower userbases of the PS3 and 360 combined.
