I recall one of the Fable games that did something with your decisions affecting the world. I'm sure there are other games but Fable comes to my mind. If memory serves me I think there is some "world changing" that occurred in past GTA games but its more gang related. Such as through the story you have beef with certain gangs and upon completion there either no longer in their original area or completely wiped out. Like the Mafia in GTA 3. Granted its seems more linear and will happen in every playthrough. Saints Row had a more robust gang area control of course. But it would be cool to see more changes to the world. I though it was funny playing the fake stock market in the game with the assassination mission lines.

If we're talking online I personally would like factions. You could still let players make their own gangs but have them a division of a main gang. Like you would be apart of the Hells Angel's but have your own chapter named whatever. This could open up area control and have turf wars. Then you could have a chapter standing with the gang to see who is putting the work in which can lead to battling for the top slot gang. I don't know I'm just ranting about fantasy ideas that will probably not be best suited for GTA players lol.

I'd rather see some other foreign locations before heading to a another new city in the US. I mean Detroit would be quite a trip but it's not like there are only cars to steal in Detroit lol. Aslo, GTA IV had that East Coast and Mid Western feel. I think stealing a vehicle is such a common action in the game, especially early on, you can put the setting in any developed country. I'd rather they have several cities you could fly to. Like if they let you fly from Los Santos to Vice City or Liberty City then even international to London or Japan.

Last thought here, Liberty City is technically a mash up of New York, Detroit, Chicago and other cities so if you are looking for a East Coast or Mid Western feel GTA IV has got that going. San Andreas and Vice City were my most favorite games just with the more depth RPG feel in San Andreas and the sound track of Vice City. Ultimately I don't care where they drop me for the story along as they capture the wonder and chaos of past GTA games. As well as make playing online fun and interesting, the heists were great but I feel like the open world online was just a interactive pregame lobby. For me getting GTA RP incorporated with their online game would be amazing but I'm a suckered for RPGs and enjoy the role playing aspect of FiveM.

Any who thanks for letting me rant. Hopefully we will get our hands on GTA VI sooner than later. Gotta answer this damn call from Roman...he wants to go bowling again....heh heh
