What’s the one thing Rockstar better nail in GTA VI?

just praying they make an entire game parodying the current political landscape without relying on cheapshot homophobia or transphobia
Honestly, it's Online that has me the most curious. GTA Online was a wild success that a lot of people did not see coming, and since then every indication would give that they're going to invest SO MUCH into that element of VI.
A version of GTA Online that doesn't play like absolute garbage would be a sight to see.

Tone.
enough with the punching down, rampant misogyny, transphobia, racism and shit like this.

basically this. i'm sure i'll otherwise love the game but this would ruin it big time
Writing.
Particularly curious about the script now that most of the senior R* writing staff is gone.

Next gen euphoria implementation, still insane that the engine went mobile only outside of Rockstar. There is nothing as impressive as the physics and ragdoll systems in modern Rockstar games. Why I've played Max Payne 3 over 10 times. Still the best hit reactions of any game out there 12 years later 😭
Tho Red Dead 2 had a great implementation in it's own ways

Making it feel like you're in a living world rather than being in a world created around you. To me it's why the world of RDR2 is still unbeatable.
Better controls, better combat mechanics and hopefully finally some freedom in missions with less scripted events. Also hope that it is nothing like RDR2 which things like forced slow walking, slow animations and better pacing. I also would like if more than half of the game isn`t just driving from A to B while driving is much more fun than horse riding in RDR2 it shouldn`t feel like it is the majority of the game. Their open world design feels still very similiar to their older games and I hope it evolves more. RDR2 was their weakest open world game for me (not only did it have the same weak points as their older titls, but it felt like they took out the fun for being "realistic" and "immersive") and I didn`t like it so I hope GTAVI is very different from that game.
This I wish their mission design was more open. You can still have triggered events I just want more options on how to handle the situation. There was one mission in 5 where you just have to destroy some cars I stole them and took them to a gas station and shot the pumps to destroy the whole place and the cars and it gave me a fail state, really fucking dumb. They need more missions of you just have to do X doesn't matter how just do it.
This right here for me.
They hit their peak with the series in San Andreas and IV but then shit the bed with V. The trailer creates a good impression that they will nail it this time though so I'm not too worried.
I'm also just hoping that the radio stations and music are as good as they've been in the prior games now that Lazlow Jones no longer works at Rockstar
I want character control to feel snappier and not sluggish, I doubt it will happen though.
This isn't going to happen, but it would be a dream come true. One of the beautiful idiosyncrasies of the PS2 era GTA (especially the earlier ones) was the possibility to be creative with how one solved missions.
I was going to say "Humor that doesn't feel straight out of a 2003 episode of The Man Show," but this covers it more succinctly.
Also no Lazlo, for the same reason.
A mission design that isn't insulting to the player, GTAV was comically bad even at the time of release, just give us an inch of agency when playing, even GTAIV had various missions where you could actually decide how to tackle them.
If you care about "spectacular" missions then don't pull ridiculous stuff like Trevor lying on a plane at walking speed pretending to shot at motorbikers or a that escape from multiple tanks on a bulldozer moving like a turtle, that's neither exciting or funny, it's just tedious and goofy.
Other than that I would say having actually good side contents, those have been terrible or none existent after San Andreas.

Basically all of this. Plus having tremendous fun doing engaging side activities, but this is GTA so I am not too worried about this specific limb.
The atmosphere. Vice City to IV had all unique atmosphere but V is like a parody game made by another studio.
progressive representation of women and LGBTQ characters
there is nothing more important than that really

I'm curious, can you tell me what "engaging side activities" you had in GTAV?
i agree, gta v already felt a little bit sluggy to me, but rdr2 was like driving a tank on an ice rink, really hope they improve that
Minigames mainly, I really liked Tennis at Michael's place... and you are right, that's it. And maybe taking care of Franklin's dog via my IRL smartphone as a tamagochi.
OK fair enough, I amend my original answer: side activities were lacklustre, and I want more of them (à la RDR2)
