[QUOTE="Grive"][QUOTE="Arsuz"]I'm just trying to understand why everybody loves this game. Saying it's a bad game would be just stupid. 15 milion people would disagree with me. I just want to have some insight in what makes this game so godaweful popular (same thing I have with WoW)

Well, for starters, it's a good free-roamer. you have a lot of freedoms in the game (even if it's just staying outside last gen), and the world is a good mixture of comedy and social commentary. The story tends to be fun, and the mission structure is not frustrating. The controls are acceptable, and you do get to blow stuff up, and very nicely. Plus, all the side missions and challenges make the game just feel tight.
I love the series, and there IS a reason for the universal acclaim.
There is better free roaming in Morrowind and Oblivion IMO. Story is lame. Same old criminal that wants to get on top. (allthough this time it seems different). It just doesn;t drive the game forward for me. After 2 hours of speeding through traffic and blowing up stuff I've seen all of it, and never start up the game again. Thank god for warez.
As for blowing off steam. Nothing beats a round of good old doom2. I mean come on! Blowing up deamons in stead of hoes.
The main character changes, and the reason he does what he does changes. This one seems to be for a better reason, and as they said he will not get rich like in all the other games. GTA games have a good story, and create an amazing atmosphere in game. That is why i enjoy them.
