After having seen so many walkthroughs, I can safely conclude GTAV is not a true GTA game. The game takes place in "Los Santos" which I assume is an attempt at a mean joke given the title of the game. The story has you playing as a typical burglar.
A [i]burglar.[/i] Excellent stereotype to place, right? What a great depiction. Not.
The story has you running through all of these illegal errands that go to reinforce this stereotype, and it ultimately ends up feeling disgusting. But nobody's with GTA for its story right?
Hahah. The gameplay is just as bad. The game even manages to depict the characters as terrible, reckless drivers. If these were respectable criminals such as Al Capone, the game may have been able to get away with it. But no, it's all just a giant screed. The game places importance on a "sandbox" but the city is nowhere near realistic. First of all, it takes place on a goddamn island for God's sake. Seriously, this game is unbelievable.
So ultimately, I believe GTAV is not a true GTA game. The game is one of the worst depictions of the [b][u][i]Greater Toronto Area[/u][/i][/b] I have ever seen in my life, and it only generalizes the people living in it.
For the people who still haven't figured out that this is a joke, I've bolded and underlined the relevant area.

I know why you like pacific rim so much now. It's a serious take on a cheesy old godzilla movie. It must tickle your asshole perfectly.

Pacific Rim? [i]Serious take?[/i] Pacific Rim was like something from Showa. You want a serious take? Gojira 1954. GMK. Gamera 3. Godzilla 2014. etc.

I think it's an updated version of what an old Godzilla-rubber-suit-Japanese-people-running-in-terror-for-heroes-to-stop-the-monster movie would be. Replacing certain cheesy bits with more serious bits, and still incorporating most of the cheesy bits to stick close to the "japan" feel of the kaiju movies.
