I also think gta is way overrated and I have the vice city cd soundtrack box 😉.
I find more entertainment in saints row, but the whole open world stuff brought me to the conclusion there are people like me where open world is a negative attribute.

Yep. Played Vice City a lot as it was popular among my peer group when I was starting out. Played San Andreas for at least a dozen hours IR so. When friends compelled me to try out GTAV as it came out I couldn’t do it for more than one sitting.
The storyline aspect I should’ve mentioned in my original comment that I understand the appeal of, even though it’s very much not for me. But so much of the game is the sandbox rather than the scripted plot, yet it’s the sandbox that I can’t find any interest in whatsoever.
The funniest thing is that I played through Saints Row 4 in its entirety and enjoyed it a lot. Not because of its cheesy comedy, but simply because stomping around a city destroying alien armies with superpowers was still fun for me. I can’t imagine playing that series before it jumped that shark.
