I would’ve bought that too, and it would’ve improved my opinion of the base game. I thought Trevor and Franklin were potentially really interesting, but they needed more story time to get there.

As it stands, GTA V is my least favorite GTA because there just isn’t enough character development.

GTA 5 is one of the worst easily, as someone who really doesn’t give a shit about multiplayer, there really isn’t much for me to do in it lol

I only finished it to stop that nagging feeling that I’m missing something. I wasn’t, but at least I rolled the credits so I could finally uninstall it.

I reinstalled it a few times before finishing it, never felt tempted once I did. It’s just… not that interesting. I love GTA IV, SA, and III (III is mostly nostalgia), and I’ll probably play each again. I’m not going to bother with V. I hate the characters, especially since I think at least Franklin and Trevor could be interesting, the plot is boring, the side content is lacking, and the world isn’t that fun to explore. It’s pretty, but bland.

Mm, GTA III’s protagonist was basically on a conveyor belt going wherever the last person to talk to him sent him.

Yeah, but at least it was a relatively new concept for a game, and the protagonist was at least likeable.

Then again, I think I like it largely because of nostalgia.

I don’t think so. I can still remember missions and dialog from 3. 5 is just too much stuff. I don’t know how to explain it. I never liked the 3 character stuff just removed any and all immersion.

Previous GTA you were playing and living a character. 5 you’re running errands for no particular reason.

I am in agreement with you, while I have my own tier list for GTA Games, I do find myself wanting to replay San Andreas and Vice City Stories more than 5.

I will argue that if I was just going for a GTA game to goof off in (like flying around in a Tank and Hijacking military vehicles), GTA V has more toys within it’s map.

Fair. I just generally don’t want to goof off in a game, I want a bit of substance. When I wanted a GTA-like game and Rockstar hadn’t made one for a while, I played through the Saints Row series. Yeah, it’s kind of fun to go cause mayhem, but I get tired of that after ~15 min or so.

If that’s what you’re looking for, GTA V is pretty decent.

Ditto and I prefer Saints Rows 2 & 3, over most of Rock Stars newer GTA offerings.

It’s really hard to blame them. Making a full ass dlc and trying to sell it for 40 bucks is work. Selling shark cards is not. It’s their own fault.
