      Actually spent hundreds to thousands of hours playing gta5 with my friends after school. Getting thrown into a city with your 5 best friends and finding your place amongst the total anarchy of 30 players all fucking around was so much fun. Add on to that the various mini games, heists, vehicles, attire, weapons and customisations for all of those things and yeah. Pretty good game.

      I really like GTA 5 except most of the plot.

      GTA without some greasy greasy plot and without sadism would be great.

      It’s a momentum from early 2000s. Rockstar (or was it Take 2 by that time?) set a lower moral line in the gaming industry and published games like Man Hunt and GTA III, where you can commit crime without much consequences. The gaming experience was nouveau and a thrill.

        The game series also mixed in a lot of mafia movie vibes and satire.

        Then Rockstar realized you can release a lot less content by pushing online gameplay, stopping the release of single player content.

      I can see that, if the style of humor doesnt click with you, then it’s got a pretty repetitive mission formula which can get boring.

      I think GTA 6 is (and will be) very overhyped. I dont see it living up to the previous titles at all.

      I don’t really like games that are overly realistic, or a simulation of real life. GTA falls into that group. Like, I’m playing games to get away from reality, not revel in it.

        If it was GTA with spells, it would be more interesting. But guns (and by extension melee weapons) just feels too boring

        I tried to explain to my friends but they don’t get it. Like it’s too grounded in reality
