For some reason, everyone wants to just drive around and shoot people, instead of experiencing interesting stories?
What a weird take. Every single GTA game has had a story and it’s pretty obvious that this one’s going to have a story too. You can complain about all sorts of things to do with rockstar but that’s just a weird thing to say.
Have you ever, like, played a game other than GTA?
Did you know they all usually feature stories? I mean, I do understand it’s kinda crazy, but it’s true!
And the stories in other games are infinitely better, too. They’re more than just poorly written characters saying ‘fuck’ or the n-word twice in every sentence.
Honestly, I highly recommend playing video games. Try it some time.
This is an unnecessarily gatekeepy take. I love an extremely wide variety of video games, from Morrowind to Monkey Island, and I think GTA games have had generally compelling stories. Crime drama is a fiction staple and scarcely anyone does it better than Rockstar.
I don’t know where the gatekeeping comes from. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but I literally encouraged the other person to play more varieties of games, which as far as I know is the opposite of gatekeeping.
Though I can agree the ‘take’ wasn’t particularly good. I found the other comment stupid, so I wrote a stupid, maybe mocking reply. That’s all there is to it.

GTA and red dead redemption are usually highly regarded, they usually also came out as single player campaign first, like GTA 6 I believe will as well, then later add on the online part which GTA V is now famous for.
I never really got into the online aspect of GTA but did play through the main story and even my wife would come over to just watch like if it was a movie, so Id say it was pretty good. Ive been wanting her to play red dead as I think that was better but just no time for much games anymore
