    I used to covet the game as a kid because my parents wouldn’t let me play it. When I finally was able to play the series I barely got 30 minutes in thinking “wtf is this shit?”

    Only one I’ve finish was GTA 4 mostly because i liked the vibe of it but I really didn’t have much fun with the gameplay which is consistently shite for the entire series.

      I have never tried to sincerely play the actual storyline, but I have had hours of fun running around in Vice City with weapons cheats enabled, flame thrower in hand, seeing how many stars I could rack up and cops I could kill before they finally took me out. That’s probably exactly the behavior your parents were worried about, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

        I did that for a long while but while shooting my 10,000th cop while holed up in the GTA 4 hospital i realised it was an empty joy that I did because I could only buy like 1 new game a year and I was actually really bored. And thats when I discovered battlefield and never touched a GTA game ever again
