anyone else making gta 6 their first gta? ask a veteran

I'm seeing a lot of new usernames. Some of you were in diapers when GTA V launched. So I'm curious: is GTA 6 going to be your first GTA? Welcome to the chaos.

If you're new, you should know the wanted system is the real star. Not just the stars. The pursuit AI. The patrol patterns. The response times. GTA V's cops were predictable. You could lose a 5-star by hiding in a bush. I'm expecting Leonida to be different. Smarter beat cops. NOOSE units that actually breach and clear. K-9s that track you through the Grassrivers swamps. Air support with thermal. That's the dream.

Veterans, what do you think the biggest change will be? I'm betting on cop loadouts. The Vintage Vice City Pack hints at classic units. I want to see modern tactical gear too. Shields. Flashbangs. Riot formations. If the AI can coordinate, pursuits will finally feel dangerous.

Smarter AI just means higher death taxes on your grind. I'm estimating a 5-star escape costs $10K in armor and hospital fees.

You're treating a chase scene like an accounting error. The heat should raise your pulse.

I'm less worried about the cost and more about how the patrol logic might handle odd terrain.
