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.

Yes I'm aware that that Elder Scrolls games are famously buggy and that some peope may thought it would have changed...but there's really no relation there, other than both being fan expectations about video games. 

Well I'm a massive GTA fan, hundreds of hours put in over all the 3d console releases, and I love the new direction they seem to have taken in the series. The beauty of it is that you can still 'mow down hookers', but that there's this biting satire and genuinely good writing behind the rest of it as well.
