00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're taking a look at 5 things we hope won't change

00:17in Grand Theft Auto 6 and 5 things we think desperately need to be fixed.

00:30Before we begin, we publish new videos all week long, so be sure to subscribe to Mojo

00:381. Customization

00:48One of the best aspects of GTA 5 was just how extensive the character customization

00:52was between both the single player campaign and GTA Online.

00:57On one hand, you could design Michael, Franklin, and Trevor however you saw them fit, sort

01:03of.

01:06On the other hand, you could almost make an exact replica of yourself just from a variety

01:11of facial presets and some accessories.

01:15We sincerely hope Rockstar is expanding the options further for GTA 6, at least for the

01:19online mode, and honestly, we wouldn't be surprised if they just brought over all of

01:24what was given in GTA 5.

01:292. Do change sprinting

01:42Rockstar has had a weird habit of attributing its sprinting mechanics to mashing a button

01:47mindlessly.

01:48Whereas other games now feature autorun or allow you to sprint just by clicking an analog

01:54stick, Rockstar still wants you to mash a button to run.

01:57Here's the thing, not everybody likes hearing their gross thumb mashing on plastic when

02:04all we're trying to do is get to our next objective.

02:14Rockstar, please just let us click an analog stick to run, or better yet, just copy TT

02:21Games' running system for the LEGO games.

02:23If we're moving forward for a certain amount of time, autosprint triggers, it's that easy.

02:29It's way better than mindlessly tapping X or A.

02:32Don't change cheat codes

02:50Ever since GTA 3 debuted on the PlayStation 2, Grand Theft Auto has long been known to

02:55feature some of the best cheat codes in gaming.

02:58Insta-spawn helicopters and tanks, alter the game's physics, give yourself the ability

03:03to run at breakneck speed, cause the entire world to fall into anarchy through riot mode,

03:09It all makes GTA a hilarious experience.

03:16Unfortunately, much of AAA gaming has left these fun gimmicks behind in favor of microtransactions

03:28and DLC.

03:29We only hope Rockstar doesn't follow suit and completely abandon these codes.

03:33It'll only make GTA seem more buttoned up, which is the exact opposite of the IP's general

03:39identity.

03:49Do change the driving

04:01Despite having developed so many games that feature driving missions and racing, Rockstar

04:06still can't seem to nail down vehicle physics and driving mechanics.

04:10That isn't to say GTA 5 was abysmal per se, they were better than previous games,

04:15just not by a huge margin.

04:17If you want certain cars to have torque or feel like we're driving iceboxes, then at

04:22least make it an explicit detail about the car in some way before we go wasting cash

04:28on something that looks nice.

04:38While we're at it, can we get a more expansive customization feature for cars?

04:42GTA 5 was, again, a step in the right direction, but why was it so barren of options?

04:58Don't change traffic

05:08One thing we'll say GTA 5 did perfectly was the traffic size.

05:13While it was lighter than usual for a place that's supposed to parody Los Angeles, it

05:18was still busy to feel like the world was alive yet open enough for pulling off crazy

05:23maneuvers.

05:32Earlier games had major problems where it felt like traffic was deliberately trying

05:36to prevent us from escaping the cops or reaching our destination in time.

05:40It would often make certain missions very aggravating.

05:43GTA 5, on the other hand, found a perfect balance.

05:47So long as GTA 6 follows suit, we should be A-OK.

05:59Do change the gunplay

06:10Despite innovations in making shooting feel good in video games, Rockstar Games has been

06:15glued to their own awkward gunplay for some reason.

06:19Unless you're packing explosive ammunition or using a shotgun, every gun feels like a

06:24pea shooter in sound and impact.

06:33What's worse is how tiny the reticle is for almost every weapon.

06:38While GTA 5 did allow players to change crosshairs in the settings menu, we need to make that

06:43the default and not whatever pebble Rockstar keeps setting us to.

06:48Come on guys, get with the times.

06:50Stop with the dot on the center of the screen.

06:59Don't change the sense of humor

07:11Part of the appeal with GTA is the sense of humor.

07:15Since the early days of the series, GTA has straddled the line between being edgy and

07:20being borderline offensive.

07:21However, the level of finesse GTA has shown was thanks to series lead writer Dan Houser,

07:27who is no longer at Rockstar Games, and the numerous co-writers he's had to help with

07:32each game.

07:41Many have speculated that the story will be written by Michael Unsworth and or Rupert

07:45Humphreys, who both wrote GTA 4, 5, Red Dead Redemption, and Red Dead Redemption 2 alongside

07:52Houser.

07:53But at the time of this video, it is unknown who is leading the story.

07:57We just hope the jokes won't be super tame.

08:05Do change trophies and achievements

08:18We know most GTA players probably don't care about this, but plenty of other gamers

08:22do.

08:23The most annoying part about GTA 5's platinum trophy was how you had to not only play the

08:28single-player campaign, but also grind the ever-loving hell out of GTA Online.

08:42Trophy guides estimate at least 150 hours of playtime in order to get the platinum trophy.

08:49Rockstar, would it be too much to ask you to separate the online trophies from the single-player

08:55campaign?

08:57Not everybody wants to touch GTA Online for very specific reasons, which we will get into

09:02in just a moment.

09:09Don't change the wanted system

09:21Another facet of GTA's formula that GTA 5 did right was the wanted system.

09:26In previous games, every game had a wanted system that made it too easy or too hard to

09:31escape the cops, often making frustrating scenarios in certain missions.

09:36GTA 5 at least was a bit more flexible, with its placement of garage workshops, alleyways,

09:42and the ability to see the cop's peripheral vision via the minimap.

09:53That said, let's keep this same approach for GTA 6 and not tweak the wanted system

09:59too much, although maybe make traffic collisions a little less sensitive in triggering the

10:05fuzz.

10:06Come on, cop.

10:07Officer, it was a complete accident, I swear.

10:18Do change GTA Online

10:29Look if there is ever one thing that desperately needs to be changed for GTA 6's sake, it's

10:35GTA Online.

10:36While we can appreciate the ability to unlock everything through natural gameplay and without

10:41having to grind as much as other games would make us, there are some glaring issues with

10:46griefers, trolls, and toxic behavior in general.

10:50Story-wise, there isn't much substance beyond Agent 13's constant sarcasm and Lester's...um...awkwardness.

11:07What GTA Online needs is some flesh on its story, something other than, we're getting

11:12rich to get rich so we can be rich.

11:15And maybe get some other characters to set up missions instead of Agent 13 or Lester,

11:20please.

11:30What do you hope GTA 6 does to shake up the series' formula?
