I will say I'm a little bit disappointed that none of the protagonists will be women. I'm still hoping for a GTA stripper protagonist with a colored past who gets into organised crime on the side. All in all though GTA has become one of the only long running franchises left in this industry that has any credibility with its critical audience. Every successive title in the franchise has featured major advancements creatively and technically. They're also one of the few remaining standard bearers of the single player campaign as a major show case for the medium. So, basically I am super excited for the game. It seems like fall is rapidly becoming the feeding ground for mega giant franchises kind of repeat the same thing every year, and Q1-Q3 is where all the interesting stuff is landing.

Yes, they were improved, but we're talking about going from "the worst shooting mechanics of all time" to "slightly below average".
So a huge part of the improving of GTAIV's shooting was incorporating whole new mission types So, you either conclude that you don't like the improvement to the shooting because the games mechanics just aren't polished enough, which is totally valid. Or you have to conclude that the series hasn't improved, despite what you said above, and you either like or dislike it despite that. If you're not going to concede what reality is there is no point in engaging in this discussion.
