Back in the day, before gta4, it was a fun funny romp through the criminal life of culture, making fun of as much as it could.

Now it’s just a very expensive franchise.

Eh, each game had a very different feel. I didn’t play GTA 1 or 2, so I’ll start after that point:

GTA III - caricatures the mafia, but otherwise I’d somewhat light on satire

GTA VC - lots of satire about the 70s and mafia in Miami

GTA SA - lots of satire about a wide range of topics, from 90s gang culture to the burgeoning tech scene in San Francisco

GTA IV - lots of statements about the immigrant experience, with satire along the way

GTA V - satire about middle class life in LA, the excitement of tech getting stale and turning bad, etc

Each has a fair amount of satire and something to say about the world, I just found GTA V a lot less interesting than previous titles. GTA IV is my favorite for a playthrough, GTA SA is a close second (I love exploring SA).

How can you say that when they haven’t made a game in a decade? Its like saying the beetles are culturally irrelevant. GTA continues to influence other games and is relevant to society even if they never made another game. I think fortnite is a dumb capitalist nothing game but I can’t deny it’s relevance.
