Even though I play it on my old low end laptop, I still able to get a stable 60fps on medium settings at 1080p (Linux) and the game is still gorgeous looking probably looks better than most if not all UE5 games released in the past 3 years.

I agree with you that it's slow -- and yet, it is one of the very few games I actually finished. That's highly unusual for me. And then I went back and played it again.

It's a game designed to be sipped, not gulped.

Say what you will about Rockstar, but they make games that 20 years later you still want to return to them (I guess just about 8 years later in this case).

I don't think this holds up anymore. RDR2 was supposed to be a lot more, but GTAO really derailed the company. I expect GTA6 to be worse than GTA5 and 5's endgame was anemic and boring.

Can't speak for you, but I'm still playing both pretty regularly. I still play GTA IV quite a bit too, and return to San Andreas often enough. Vice city is still a classic, but those older ones are just getting a bit janky, which is ok considering they are 20+ years old. All of these games were ahead of their time.

Definitely sets the bar pretty high, maybe impossibly high, for GTA 6
