FiveM has some of y'all expecting way too much from vanilla GTA 6

Been seeing a lot of chatter lately about how FiveM might be messing with people's heads when it comes to GTA 6. A big chunk of the community has spent the last few years living in those heavily modded RP servers, NoPixel and the like. And I get it, those servers are wild. Custom jobs, deep character progression, whole economies. But that's not what GTA is at its core.

Rockstar builds curated experiences. They've always had a specific vision for their worlds, and while they'll definitely borrow ideas from the RP scene (they'd be dumb not to), expecting GTA 6 to be FiveM 2.0 is setting yourself up for disappointment. The Doomsday Heist update was a perfect example. That went in a completely different direction from what the RP crowd was doing, and it was still a blast.

There's that rumor about Project ROME, Rockstar's supposed integration of FiveM tech. If that's real, it could be interesting. But even then, it'll probably be its own thing, not a straight port of what we see on PC right now. Rockstar doesn't just copy, they adapt.

I'm hyped for whatever they're cooking, but I'm keeping my expectations grounded. GTA 6 is gonna be a Rockstar game first, not a modded server. And that's exactly what I want.

My playtime's too scarce for pretend shifts at a virtual diner. Just give me a story I can pause.

BigMike nailed it. I'd rather spend two hours dialing in a drift tune than taking burger orders. Vanilla GTA 6 needs garages so DEEP you forget RP exists. Real engine swaps, bolt-on aero and a dyno that actually matters. That's the grind I want. Let the servers handle the fake jobs.

bigmike nailed it. rp burnout is real. but vanilla never gave us real character builds or whitelisted jobs. if rockstar borrows anything from fivem i hope its the progression, not just map expansions. either way im grinding both.

Just give me that Wave 103 sunset vibe and I'm set. Keep the fake diner shifts, I'll take the curated needle drops!
