Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

GTA was never an RPG, it's an action game with shooting and driving things.
It really can't be compared to Cyberpunk which is really focused in the RPG elements, making choices in every single sidequest out there, making your own character build with skill trees, items, body mods etc.
They're completely different genres, which is also why so many people got infuriated when Cyberpunk came out because it was not the Next GTA™ game they were expecting, even though Cyberpunk never really marketed to be like that.
