    Compared to Witcher 3 the GTA V isn’t even a game, especially if you look at the extremely rigid mission structure in otherwise open world. Rockstar wants to tell stories, not make games. I can’t understand why they just don’t turn into a movie studio at this point.

    I can’t understand why confidently write this, because I’m currently playing through GTA V story mode.

      To quote an ancient review by Shamus Young (RIP):

      GTA IV offers incredible production values, voice acting, music, and visuals. By contrast, all Saints Row 2 can offer is fun. You’ll have to work out for yourself which one sounds better.

      The wrong series died.

        Saints Row didn’t die at 2 lmfao. They kept pushing gimmicks without improving anything about the series, like the super hero game genuinely felt like a mid level mod but was a full priced game. And do we even need to talk about the reboot?

      I don’t understand what you mean by that GTA 5 isn’t a game. I guess everyone has their own definition of what it means to be a game and I don’t want to take your definition away. Here is my definition I wrote back then when “Mixtape” was in the discussions:

      A game is more than just being interactive. A game has rules and you can fail to overcome a challenge.

      To me GTA 5 is a game.
