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've played at least 5 or 6 RPGS with way more impressive depth than GTA. It doesn't hold a candle to Morrowind or the witcher 3 for example.

GTA is quite empty when you actually get to it. Most buildings aren't accessible and most side quests are similar tropey fluff. The main story in GTA v is really neat though, I did enjoy the 3 character angle and of course it's a fine game. I just think it's always been overhyped by fans and critics alike.
 
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.

I didn't say it was better. Personally I enjoyed it more but it had a fraction of the budget and obviously isn't as big.

I mentioned it as an example of an open world game which does some things better. The melee combat for example was infinitely better. I also found the setting to be a lot more original. Ultimately I had more fun with Sleeping Dogs but I'm sure I'm in the minority.

Agreed. The Witcher 3 blows away gta5 for size, dept, or scale etc. Story too. the npc's blew me away, just how life like the people go about thier day and things they say. I was a gta fanboy, i still love the game but they definitely have stagnated in leaping forward. 5 is a polished gta4.
