I think that, when GTA works, it works, but I remember many times during GTAV thinking “this game is taking the piss”. If the whole game was six hours and it was just the heists and other interesting parts it would be peak, but as it is GTA is more like
I still like GTA SA/Vice because of their more “arcade-like” and less realistic more videogaming vibe, but yeah, they’re pretty dated. You’re basically just a driver who listens to the passengers dialogue, without needing to animate cutscenes, and the gunfight are pretty whatever.
I played 5 at launch and at least finished the story but it was probably one of the most forgettable games I’ve ever played and this one really isn’t looking any better
It was during a cutscene in GTA IV, when Niko says to his cousin “We did some bad things during the war, and bad things happened to us” that I finally realised that GTA has close to no artistic merit.
Hot take but I don’t like GTA as a series. I remember playing GTA 4 when it came out and thinking “wow this formula feels dated”

I think the Saint’s Row games did a much better job of this. It’s only like half head on the beer, over there.
