Never really understood the appeal of it though the shitty DRM and PC ports they had didn’t help. Tried to play GTA SA(?) more than 10 years ago but the bicycle controls were so bad ona tenkeyless keyboard I couldn’t progress. Same thing with the drone controls in Vice City. GTA IV was unplayable due to securom nonsense which after I bypassed, ran into some GFWL error that I gave up on. GTAV was extremely boring for me with how slow the gameplay was. For a game called Grand Theft Auto I was expecting a lot more action. Being forced to do yoga and deliver cars was not at all enjoyable for me.

On the contrary, I found the pre-reboot Saints Row games really fun and so did Sleeping Dogs. All of those games scratches the itch that I had expected GTA to scratch and did it better than GTA did in my opinion. Maybe I’m just not the target audiemce.
