The game is just about shooting, driving and stealing shit. It is not this out this world experience haha. The amount of “GTA coming out some day” content that I get is way too much.

I played Vice City and San Andreas when they first came out and I was a teenager. At the time they appealed to me as just a big open world to explore and cause mayhem in. There wasn’t really much like it at the time. The story wasn’t all that interesting to me.
I got GTA5 for free from Epic games years after it came out, and played about 30 minutes before I got bored.
I’ve been spoiled by so many other open world game options that GTA just doesn’t do much for me anymore. I like to have a more interesting environment, or story.
I played Vice City and I enjoyed both the open world and the fantastic soundtrack. Most of my playing was just driving around while listening to the radio. So I guess what I really wanted was a super simplified driving simulator and Kate Bush mp3s.
For this reason Vice City is the only GTA I am tempted to replay. Its just a vibes machine.
The story mode in San Andreas and GTA IV were incredible. GTA V’s story was still pretty amazing too… Not sure how you could’ve played enough of it in 30 mins to even be able to judge it.
If I tried it again in the right mood, I might get more sucked in. But as I mentioned in another comment, contemporary crime stories dont interest me much.
what games spoiled open world games for you, if i may ask?
A pretty standard list of open world RPGs from the last 20 years really:
Morrowind (predates VC and SA of course but I will still count it,) Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, No Mans Sky, Cyberpunk 2077, Valheim, Starfield (maybe not as much, but I got my fun out of it,) Baldurs Gate 3,
I’m obviously a sucker for bugthesda style exploration and loot hoarding. I’m less interested in driving vehicles around I guess comparing that list to GTA. I also like RPG elements, heavy lore, and if lacking in lore, I enjoy creative outlets like in NMS and Valheim.
Edit: Also, to be more specific. I know GTA games have alot of story going on that people love. Not saying its bad. I’m just not that interested in contemporary crime stories. I’m not into crime movies or tv all that much either.
@Soapbox@lemmy.zip - can you please recommend some games which have great stories? I am looking for some games to play. I am planning to start Plague Tale next weekend, but open to options. Thanks!
