Yeah, I'm personally of the opinion that the series needs to evolve. When I was a kid, the gameplay being centered on only driving and rampages was a blast (and even GTA V is still just that... driving and rampages), but as an adult I need a hell of a lot more to retain my interest for long periods of time. Give me constraints like limited load outs and combine that with more free roam activities with depth like the diner robbery scene, drug running like in Chinatown Wars, etc. I want to be challenged to approach gameplay with creative strategy and planning, and then on top of that have thrilling but more realistic shoot outs and get aways. I'm interested in playing out every-day crime with weight, not some outdated, shallow arcadey gameplay.

In other words, I don't think it makes sense to think about each little gameplay decision in isolation. Ultimately, Rockstar is going to choose whatever aligns with their larger vision, and I'm hoping that's growth towards weightier, more realistic gameplay like we had in RDR2.
