This much is true.
It is nice when games are as effective at maybe making you feel a certain way, land are almost a form of art, or have a well scripted storyline, but I would say GTA itself does that and is well scripted. It has a lot of artistic merit, I think, and it is always quick to satirise the social and political climate of the time its set in.
I just prefer quirky, new ways to play games and I think this is because the original PlayStation was mindblowing when I first saw it running some racing game in Comet, because of the jump from mainly 2D games to 3D. I guess I'm just not as impressed with technical feats as much anymore, as that was probably the most significant jump in videogame history, so now I kind of like things that put a twist on either the way you play, or some well-worn genre.
Oh, I love all my children equally except for all my Nintendo children who get more on their birthday and are privately schooled.
