the gta 6 map should be smaller than gta 5

Not visually smaller. Functionally smaller. I do not need another giant stretch of highway that exists so a delivery mission can waste nine minutes. I want neighborhoods close enough that I learn their shortcuts and interiors deep enough that a single block creates stories. A smaller playable footprint with more vertical space, more enterable buildings and more changing local events would feel larger than empty distance. People compare maps like land area is a review score. A swamp is not content because the polygon covers many square miles.
