Don't plan on buying it.
Only played it, because a friend loaned out their account.
Not saying the game is bad, it's not. Pretty decent actually. I just think the constant stream of problems and headaches with each game is a bit ridiculous, and would completely turn me off on any product I paid for (That's also why I wait on console gens, and avoided the rrod of the 360 era, failing systems of the ps2 era... Instead, I just kept enjoying last gen, until/unless they ironed out the headaches and I saw something I really wanted (There's only about a half dozen games I've ever really "needed." I can sub one "merely good" game for another.)

Talking about GTA V, so talking last gen. Rockstars problems apply across the board though.
GTA IV was a fiasco, too. Every release is a buggy mess, full of performance and drm issues, poor optimization, and headaches for the player. They're worse then Bethesda, and that's saying something.
Considering my biggest concern with a gaming company (Or really, any company I sink money into) is:
1. Their quality control. Are they rushing things out the door, just to make a quarterly? Why should I buy their trash, to solve their problem?
2. Customer satisfaction priority. I won't rate second to shareholder satisfaction, period.
Bottom line, everyone says "speak with your wallet". So this is me speaking with my wallet. Show me something I want, at a good quality, with minimal/zero headaches and good customer support, and I "might" consider buying it.
Yes, I'm absolutely unreasonably demanding. I think one SHOULD be demanding, if they're paying for it. Money isn't something to be frivolous with, and you damn well better believe I won't part with it, and not expect the moon and the stars.
Otherwise, I can do without. That's my opinion, and it's the only one that matters to me.
A game you need a million mods to make playable, probably isn't a very good game.
Like Skyrim. Anyone who recommends playing it, has about a thousand asterisks, followed by an extensive list of visual, gameplay, and bugfix mods. It's almost like the fans did all the work of remastering the game for free.

Skyrim was great at release even without mods. Mods just make it waaaay better.
I love Skyrim, even unmodded.
I have tons of hours on PC, Switch, PS3.
Its a great game, it can be boring sometimes, but it can also be really fun.
To be fair I had way more fun in games like Dragon's Dogma, Breath of the Wild and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, though.
A lot of it was nightmare fuel but kinda wish Microsoft kept that indie program going they've had during the days of Xbox 360. Some games from that were actually pretty ok.
Knack is just as fun to play as Crash and Spyro back on the PS1. Nobody thinks it's good 'cause the "criticism" everyone hears is from goofballs quoting memes.
Sonic Unleashed wasn't a good game but I think people got too carried away hating on the Werehog design. I thought it looked cool.
