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.
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.
GTA
I just don’t get 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

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.
