I started playing GTA III again. I made it farther this time around but still lost interest. There is something about the GTA games that makes me want to play them, probably the open world nature. I really enjoy playing big open world RPGs, but obviously GTA is not an RPG.
The GTA games also have a good sense of atmosphere to the worlds they create; that also appeals. They are worlds I am interested in exploring. The problem comes when having to play the game. The combat and the driving just aren’t interesting to me. I also don’t generally play evil characters.
Knowing all this still doesn’t stop me from owning all the GTA games. I generally play them briefly and then put them away until I am drawn to peek in at those worlds again.
