My expectation is that it will be very good, but will have no single player DLC whatsoever in lieu of GTAO2 or whatever they call it. And no, I've never forgiven them for doing that with V. At least this time I won't be expecting it.
What if it doesn't need DLC? When the concept of DLC first came out, everyone complained that devs were just releasing unfinished games and that you were obligated to buy DLC to enjoy a full experience. Now people only buy games because they're expecting DLC?
Because Rockstar did some good DLC for GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption. I agree that DLC isn't a good thing if it's carved out of the base game, but Rockstar had a good track record of making good DLC for already feature-complete games.
