Maybe you're not as excited because you're not the target audience anymore.

Think of the biggest games of the last 10 years, they've all been community centered games. Among Us, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Fortnite, GTA Online, Fall Guys, etc.

I think we just grew up in a different era. I grew up playing on the PSX but my younger brother grew up on the PS4. I'm still playing the Tony Hawk remaster by myself and my younger brother is playing online games with like 6 people in the call.

I look forward to the story, but my younger brother looks forward to the online where he can have his own character and create his own story with his friends.

Gaming in general is moving in a community direction and I don't blame Rockstar for moving in that direction as well.
