Not likely, R* haven't released a bad (original) game in a long ass time.
Will it be abandoned as a Single-Player experience for the inline aspect? Probably
IDK, GTA V bordered on "bad" for me and ended up just being "meh." It got a lot of praise, so I kept going back to it thinking I missed something, and ended up forcing myself to finish it. It was pretty bland story- and character-wise start to finish, side content was mediocre, and the gameplay was fun but not particularly unique (felt like SA gameplay with better graphics).
If GTA VI is just GTA V with better graphics and not much else, I'll probably pass. It'll probably be successful regardless though for the same reason people keep buying Bethesda games. I want an interesting story where I care about the protagonists (def the case in IV and SA), interesting twists and turns, and something new gameplay-wise (e.g. I loved the gang warfare in SA and more realistic driving in IV). Switching between characters isn't "new gameplay" imo, especially if I don't care much about any of them.
The campaign really was a massive downgrade of IV, it was good that driving was arcade again, but movement was still that same slow as sloth thing they love now, and also parkour is gone because fuck you I guess? Didn't even bring back the jetpack.
