Enjoyed the GTA V discussion particularly because I have virtually no interest it it 🙂 A small part of me wants to see it, just to experience it a little, but there are just too many open worlds to care about all of them, and I don’t really want to play as a chauvinistic (allegedly) scum-bag. Nor do sub-par mechanics sound attractive just because I can do them all in one world where all of those experiences probably exist in other more focused games.

I think I am really close to finishing the campaign and honestly the reports of the game being misogynistic are a little overblown. It is disappointing that there aren’t any strong female characters in GTA 5, but hopefully Rockstar will fix that in the next game. I’ll also add that I’ve really been enjoying the game a hell of a lot more than my lukewarm initial reactions but some of the core mechanics are indeed sub-par compared to other titles.
If you aren’t interested in GTA games, I doubt this iteration will sway you because it really does feel like a highly polished and tightly paced version of what we’ve seen in the past. Anyways, glad you enjoyed the discussion!
I wanted to hold off for the PC version, but multiplayer heists with the VGH social club might be too good to pass up…
Yeah I am definitely looking forward to the multiplayer for GTA 5, and I originally planned on waiting for the PC version as well! Hopefully the multiplayer doesn’t disappoint.
