  • I‘m with you. I don‘t get why so many people praise the story and the gameplay.

    The mission design is very disappointing. You have this beautiful open world with so many systems that you can interact with. It can be fun to just start some shit and watch the chaos unfold. But the second you start a mission, everything is scripted and like on rails. You have no real freedom whatsoever in how you want approach a mission. The missions are also not challenging in the least (apart from some jank here and there). It‘s mostly just one turkey shoot after another.

    Story spoilers

    The story is not all that great. It‘s just not believable that anyone sane would stick so long with a gang leader who does not make a single good decision and clearly goes more and more off the deep end. It is also too long and overstays its welcome by tens of hours. Especially the whole Guarma chapter is hot garbage and would not have been missed at all if it weren‘t there.

    I made it through to the end. I had to see for myself where they are going with the story. But I was kind of glad when it was over.

    I wish another studio could license the world that Rockstar created and make a game that is actually good. But that is never going to happen.
