I wouldn't go that far, but it's certainly not a bad game. It's one of those that you have to let come to you instead of you trying to force something out of.Game is closing in at 30 million sales, most sales were made way after launch. Game was meh on launch. Today, it's in my top 10 of all time. Easily beating any other open world game.
It's the small details that make it good, imo. The ridiculous posters and billboards (sex ads), the heavily populated, but still lifeless city, the ease of making acquaintances, but the difficulty of forming meaningful relationships, the massive, but still meaningless gap between rich and poor, etc. It's uncanny how much it has in common with modern city life. Kind of reminds me of the movie Idiocracy, just in a less humorous way.
To be honest, I've never felt the appeal of GTA. "Thug life" isn't something I find aspirational to play in a game with, and blowing up random stolen cars and killing civilians for no reason aren't my cup of tea, either.GTA is a joke compared to Cyberpunk, maybe GTA 6 can match it, however I doubt it, considering how simple GTA is, with no builds or anything.
GTA 6 with talent points and builds - just way more advanced gameplay? Yes please, but they will probably scare the casuals away...
