GTA V: Long Term Wishlist

I have been playing Grand Theft Auto V since day one. It is the only game that I ever preordered and the only one for which I ever bought the Collector's Edition. After over a month of play and even taking in to account the early problems with GTA Online, I have to say that it was $149 well spent.

I was blessed to be around for the $500,000 stimulus package and I just downloaded the “Beach Bum” pack. We still have the Content Creator to go and I am looking forward to that. But what about major dlc’s? What could be on the horizon?

There has been much speculation about possible dlc’s content and locations. Some people are saying that signs point to the Midwestern location known seen briefly in the Story Mode known as North Yankton. Others are postulating the thought of a Las Venturas which was last seen in GTA: San Andreas. But what if we stay in Los Santos? What if Rockstar pulls a page from the Red Dead Redemption dlc, “Undead Nightmare”? Or what if they stick with a theme that they have already laid the groundwork for with the abundance of references to aliens?

This first time I heard of this idea was by MrBossFTW on his YouTube channel. however it makes perfect sense. “Undead Nightmare” was one of the most popular dlc’s ever and with the huge sandbox that is GTA V it offers endless possibilities. However in the same post he also suggested the alien theme. Now both themes have been hinted at so far in GTA V. There is the above mentioned references to aliens. but there is also the zombie that is standing beside one of the movie theaters in Los Santos. Either plan would be great. and since GTA IV had two dlc’s might we see both themes?

One way to look at GTA V and GTA Online is similar to an MMORPG. There is the possibility for constant updates and growth, especially if Rockstar ports the game over to the next gen systems. It might not be a large as World of Warcraft or similar titles, but it could be Mini-Multiplayer Online Game. The fact is I wouldn’t mind seeing these or a return to North Yankton (I love the snowy atmosphere) or even Vice City. It may be that Rockstar can keep GTA V/Online going for the foreseeable future and maybe the game will slowly morph into GTA VI rather than having a major release.

In the meantime I will keep dropping cars from Cargobobs onto my fellow players.
