5 irritating features that Rockstar Games should not add to GTA 6

1) NPCs having ridiculous aim

NPCs in GTA 5 Online have ridiculously accurate aim and can kill you almost instantly. Even the most random non-playable character with a gun can hit you precisely. This gameplay mechanic should be changed in GTA 6.

The current game’s aimbot NPCs make you feel like gunfights are largely dominated by them. Rockstar should balance this aspect so that taking on them becomes enjoyable.

2) Missions featuring useless side activities

Side activities should not be a core part of missions in GTA 6. In Grand Theft Auto 5, Rockstar Games made yoga a part of the 'Did Somebody Say Yoga?' mission. While the second half is essential for the storyline, many players despise it because of the yoga bit.

The upcoming title should avoid such mission designs and make side activities completely independent from the main storyline.

3) Cops interrupting important activities

Cops sometimes interrupt during important activities. For example, in Grand Theft Auto 4, you can get wanted levels while chasing criminals during Vigilante missions. In Grand Theft Auto 5, if you help a cop catch an NPC criminal, the police start shooting at you.

Rockstar Games should make some exceptions to the wanted level system in GTA 6. Players should not get attacked by cops when helping them, or during missions and activities that require shooting and killing.

4) Reckless drivers

NPC drivers in the upcoming game should not be more reckless than actual players. Grand Theft Auto 5 Online has the most annoying drivers in the series. You can see them deliberately blocking your path and positioning themselves as a target for you to crash.

The NPC driving mechanism needs a major overhaul so that players can drive in peace. Moreover, they should show turn signals before taking a turn so that players can efficiently cut through traffic.

5) Limited interiors

Rockstar Games typically provides limited interiors to enterable buildings. As a result, players cannot explore every corner of a house or a property. This also makes the house feel hollow.

While fans expect many enterable buildings in the GTA 6 story mode, the developer should make them fully explorable. This way, the gameplay will feel more immersive and realistic.
