Grand Theft Auto V is a beast of a game, but let’s be real—some parts of it are straight-up annoying or just plain broken. From cops acting like they’ve got a personal vendetta to mechanics that feel stuck in 2013, there’s a lot that drags down the experience. With GTA 6 on the horizon, it’s time to ditch these frustrations for good. Here’s what needs to stay behind, explained without the fluff.
1. Overly Aggressive and Omniscient Police AI
The cops in GTA 5 act like they’ve got a GPS tracker on you at all times. Commit a tiny crime, like bumping an NPC, and they’re instantly on your tail with sniper-level aim. It’s relentless and feels unfair.
GTA 6 needs a smarter, less psychic police system, like GTA 4’s, where you can actually outsmart them instead of getting swarmed for no reason.
2. Clunky Cover System
Trying to take cover in GTA 5 is a pain. The controls are sluggish, and half the time you pop out of cover by accident, eating bullets for no reason.
A smoother cover system would make shootouts less frustrating and actually fun, letting you focus on strategy instead of fighting the controls.
3. Limited Enterable Interiors
GTA 5’s world looks alive, but most buildings are just facades you can’t enter. It kills the immersion when you’re stuck outside 99% of the map’s structures.
With GTA 6’s bigger Vice City and Leonida map, let us walk into more buildings for heists, secrets, or just to mess around.
4. Repetitive Random Events
Those random encounters, like picking up hitchhikers, start off cool but get old fast. They’re repetitive and feel like busywork after a while.
GTA 6 should mix things up with random events that feel fresh, tie into the story, or give you something worth your time.
5. Lack of Mid-Mission Checkpoints
Failing a long mission in GTA 5 means restarting from the beginning, which is a massive waste of time and feels outdated.
Add more checkpoints in GTA 6 so we’re not replaying 20 minutes of setup just because we missed one shot.
6. Excessive Loading Screens (GTA Online)
GTA Online makes you sit through endless loading screens just to enter a safehouse or start a job, killing the flow of the game.
GTA 6 needs to cut down on loading times, using seamless transitions to keep us in the action, especially with today’s hardware.
7. Overly Restrictive Mission Design
Missions in GTA 5 are too strict, failing you for stepping slightly off-script despite the game’s open-world freedom. It’s limiting and annoying.
GTA 6 should let us tackle missions in different ways, giving us the freedom to get creative like the open world promises.
8. Outlandish Online Content (GTA Online)
GTA Online went wild with stuff like flying cars and missile bikes, which feels more like sci-fi than the gritty crime world GTA is known for.
GTA 6’s online mode should stick to a realistic crime focus, keeping things grounded instead of turning into a cartoon.
9. Unrealistic Car Damage Physics
Cars in GTA 5 blow up way too easily after a crash, like they’re made of dynamite. It’s not realistic and gets old fast.
GTA 6 can use next-gen hardware to make vehicles take damage gradually, so crashes look and feel more real.
10. Poor NPC Driver AI
NPC drivers in GTA 5 are a nightmare, swerving into you or stopping randomly, making driving feel like a constant accident waiting to happen.
GTA 6 should make NPC drivers act more like real people, so we’re not dodging chaos every time we hit the road.
11. Non-Skippable Cutscenes (GTA Online)
You’re stuck watching the same unskippable cutscenes in GTA Online, especially when replaying missions, which is a total drag.
Let us skip cutscenes in GTA 6, both in story mode and online, to save time and keep things moving.
12. Restricted Personal Vehicle System
Each character in GTA 5 is stuck with one personal vehicle, and bought cars sometimes just vanish, which is super annoying.
GTA 6 needs a better system where we can save and switch between multiple vehicles without them disappearing.
13. Recycled Content in GTA Online
GTA Online leans too hard on reusing story mode locations and missions, which feels lazy for a game raking in so much cash.
GTA 6’s online mode should bring new missions and places, not just rehash the single-player stuff.
With the power of modern consoles and Rockstar’s budget, there’s no excuse for keeping these outdated or frustrating elements. Let’s get a game that’s as smooth and immersive as we’ve all been waiting for.
