What? I do not understand how people can think the writing was any kind of deep or interesting.

Bleh.

"Depth" is not nearly as important to writing as honesty is.

I need to play this damn game just so I can make an informed opinion, I suppose.

I don't know. I just think the GTA series is just kinda shallow in that aspect.

In fairness, GTA IV starts strong (writing wise), but it fizzles pretty quickly. Perhaps this writer, like dozens of game reviewers before her, simply didn't bother playing past the first hour?
