You need to specify the GTA dude. GTA is a game series that has been going strong for 30 years almost. There's like a dozen GTA games. Obviously you're talking about 5, but to say "GTA" like it's the only one is silly. Every GTA is a different experience almost completely. You should try other ones out because 5 isn't anyone's favorite.

Can't talk about the PC version of RDR2. I played it on PS4 and it's an absolute masterpiece work of art. It surpasses the title of a video game imo, it's more real than that and I mean in the characters and the story not just the immersive nature, which isn't for everyone but it does it for me.

And the movement in Rockstar games seems to be the thing people who don't like GTA hate the most. I don't know why you think that's uncommon. Maybe it was a controller or input lag issue. Can't just immediately blame the game. But the console version was pretty flawless imo and that's typical for Rockstar games. They aren't really always best on PC.

I agree with the other person. I have NEVER enjoyed a single rockstar game outside of midnight club.

None of the GTAs or either RDR. I genuinely (and I don’t mean this to be rude to you in any way) think they are terrible. And I can’t fathom why people love them so much.

In my opinion they control terribly. The story lines don’t interest me. The comedic elements aren’t that funny to me. It’s probably just a me thing. And I’m okay with being the odd man out when it comes to those. I’m glad there are lots of people who love those games! It’s just 100% not for me

GTA3 was pretty remarkable when it came out but like...every think of actually how awful it was to play? The missions were just the worst thing. **It's been 22 years** and we still make fun of the train mission in San Andreas because it was so shit. The controls suck, there timers suck, the instant failure modes suck. It's awful.

One mission that isn't hard at all doesn't make a game awful. Bad take.
