Computer games.

I think it's more like that people like different things mate. You don't have to like anything. And really, can't help what you like and what you don't like.

I play a lot of games. Probably more than you would think considering how long we've known each other on here and love pretty much all the Rockstar games.

It's a bit of both I think. For example I don't like RDR as I hate westerns, so it's simply not my cup of tea. But these days I find GTA a bit meh as I've played games which do similar things better. Not trying to be snooty, I merely meant as I've played so many games I can't help but draw comparisons as I'm playing GTA.

Back in the day I loved GTA as it was much more innovative and there was nothing else like it. As the years have passed Rockstar have put less of an emphasis on fun and I've found it feels like just another open world game.

I can't help but disagree with you mate. GTA V's unrivalled in the open world genre when it comes to shear ambition, scale and quality. The fact that it's essentially a last generation console game is mind blowing. The execution of the 3 intertwining character stories is incredibly slick and fun.

I respect your opinion though, squire.

I kinda agree. After san andreas and vice city, none of the GTA games have really gripped me the same way as they do others. Even to GTA 4 and 5, i much prefer Saints row 3+4 as being fun silly games with loads to do in terms of side quests and mini games.

GTA 5 is an excellent made game i can't deny that, but it swaps engaging worlds with just big ones that have been detialed. Somewhere along the lines the fun factor was been dropped.

On the games you mentioned, not a big fan of infamous, but Prototype gave me one of my favourite gaming moments. The last boss, letting him strip my health down to a fragment so i can hit my power move and doing it all as the clock ticked 0 as well, just seeing the white game over flash before the cutscene kicked in to end the game was brilliant feeling

This. The fun was what made Vice City the greatest PS2 game

For me saying Sleeping Dogs, which I do adore, is better than GTA V is a bit crazy. But you like what your brain tells you to like.

Interestingly I could've be bothered with the Infamous games. But like you I can tell they're good but they're just not for me.
