C'mon GTA V! Dethrone COD!!!

Considering the direction GTA IV went, what makes you think GTA V isn't going to continue it?

I think it will, and that's why I'm excited for it. 

What basis do you think it will?  People on here thought Skyrim would also be relatively bug free, believing a new engine would make a difference, and someone even speculated that iD would be working on Skyrim also, because iD and Bethsoft are owned by the same holding company.

I'm sorry I don't understand your reasoning regarding Skyrim? I don't think that's related at all.

I think they'll continue with most of what made GTA IV great with a little more silliness in terms of variety to keep some people happy. I'm basing this off a few things, in terms of story and themes; the very topical look at the current economic dilemma in the west and the aging white male character, in terms of gameplay; using the same base engine and my opinion that the handling model was pretty perfect and the gunplay just needs some tweaking. 

I brought up Skyrim because there was a trend with the Bethsoft WRPGs and how they would be bugfests.  People were expecting it to be different.  So, based on what GTA4 was, I had wondered why you thought it would be different.  My understanding of fans of GTA is they want mayhem, not a critique of anything.  They want to do stupid stuff, mow down hookers and try to get a 5 star rating so the entire police come after them.
