It's the type of style they use, just wreckless abandonment .. plus those games aren't even that good. GTA has built it's fan base, and game after game they deliver ..

Name one game in history that combines everything seamlessly, isn't a clone of the originator (GTA), and offers a compelling story to boot. C'mon man just read the reviews and form your own judgment as to why, based on other opinions.

judging from the videos of gta 4 the story seems like a rip off of the whole "american dream" idea

Okay so maybe you don't like the game. There are others, myself included, that love this game. I have never been disappointed by a GTA game to date.

Umm, maybe cause they're excited for the game and all the fun they're gonna have with it? Seriously a question like this doesn't deserve philosophical answers. Just accept the fact that some people are excited for the game and you can sleep a lot better at night.

What's so great about the FPS genre all you do is shoot people and without online it would probably not be as big a genre as it is now.

What's so great about sports genres all you do is the exact same game over and over.

What's so great about RPG's all you do is run around, get a quest, and finish quest.

What's so great about fighting games after you learn all the moves without online or multiplayer it would get old.

What's so great about Phoenix Wright all you do is read and click things.

What's so great about GTA all you do is run around and shoot people.

Different people find different things to enjoy in everything.

GTA has very good exploration, great weapons, good humor, good missions, a great selection of vehicles, many fun sidequests, great characters, for the most part good stories. That would be why its so good.

If you like the game. Alright. If you don't, then that's fine too. But I guarantee you're not going to persuade others to say "I don't get it." Because all of us, including me, GET IT. That's why game after game, we still continue to play the critically acclaimed Video game a.k.a. Grand Theft Auto. It's just a great game.

Because the game has a great story, good humor, a wide variety of missions, lots of vehicles and some kick-ass violence to boot.

my intention wasn't to persuade anybody, it was more out of curiosity then anything else
