I'm not saying it's a bad game or anything, I just never really liked open world games in general aside from Saints Row and Red Dead Redemption because of Atari-tanks and cowboy badassery respectively. GTA is just walking around and doing stuff to me. Nothing stands out, it has a ton of gameplay elements but it never focuses on any of them and the game feels mediocre as a result.
Iunno, I'm going to mess around in Online (if I can get it working) with a buddy and maybe that'll brighten my spirits, that and the fact that we're both going to go pick up X and Y as soon as it releases on Saturday and proceed to play that for the next 127 hours straight.
In all honesty, it's the story that's the games strength. I could easily watch GTA V as a high quality TV show alongside Breaking Bad/Dexter(before season 4)/Game of Thrones etc and be satisfied.
Fair enough the gameplay isn't special and in all honesty, is quite bland, but the story, dialogue and well written characters(especially Trevor) really push the game forward.
