The Grand Theft Auto thread!

[Ollie]

Sorry to hear you aren't enjoying it, hope you feel better about the game as it progresses.
I enjoyed the game a fair bit. I was always fascinated how Grand Theft Auto portrays American culture in such a satire manner, exaggerating stereotypes, showing faults with today's society, even if it does take things too far in some areas.
In the overall story, I don't think it quite beats GTA IV-Once you get right into the story in GTA V the missions are more interesting, but where the story fails (in my eyes) is the aspect of multiple protagonists. There was no one character that stuck out as the main protagonist-or antagonist for that matter, and I feel the story suffered a little because of that. Yes it was good to have a bit of variety in the gameplay, but in the story there were a few conflicts between the protagonists, but there isn't one character you can really sympathise with. There are also multiple antagonists, each of them only appear in few missions, so you don't realy feel much anger towards them. There is no character to really fall in love with or to hate with passion, in the end I feel the story falls flat on it's face, and that's that.

Oops, I didn't mean to go into review mode there, but oh well.
