hangouts in gta 6 need to be way better than gta 5's three spots

We all know the main draw is the chaos, but I'm actually curious about the side stuff. Been replaying GTA 5 the last few days to get in the mood for November and the hangout system is rough. You call up a friend, drive to one of like three places, and then it usually ends in a shootout where I'm stuck paying hospital bills. It gets old fast.

I'm hoping GTA 6 actually gives us a reason to use hangouts. More locations would be a start. But the dialogue is the big one for me. I want to pull up in a commercial plane and have my buddies lose their minds. That kind of reaction would make it feel alive instead of just a checklist.

If the game lets me, I'm probably gonna be ballin with Lucia, Jason and Carl at the beach house. That's the dream. What about you all, are side activities like hangouts something you'll actually mess with or are you just here for the chaos?

rp servers cracked this years ago. half the content on any good server is just people posted up at a diner or a car meet, and location variety is what keeps those scenes alive. more hangout spots with npcs that actually react would be huge for community hubs day one. and yeah, pulling up in a stolen jumbo jet while your crew loses it, thats exactly the energy im bringing to leonida

Some of the best writing in GTA 5 happened in cars between missions, Franklin and Lamar talking trash about nothing. That's the stuff hangouts should be built around. Instead we got three bars and a checklist.

stuck paying hospital bills

Right, because half the activities were just chaos with extra steps. If 6 makes hanging out genuinely low key, with dialogue that reacts to what you've done and what you rolled up in, I'd use it constantly. Every great crime movie has that quiet diner scene where you actually learn who these people are. Lucia and Jason's whole relationship lives or dies on moments like that, way more than on the shootouts. Give me a spot where the bartender remembers my face and I'm happy.
