it was hated by for the same reasons why I hate previous GTA's:
1) the novelty of being an anti hero and random killings has worn off.
2) they all have shit stories
3) repetitive missions
4) average driving mechanics
5) average combat mechanics
6) average shooting mechanics
7) the world maybe alive but no where near as alive, real and beautiful as the shenmue or yakuza games.
8) it's all about gang banging gangsters and majority of the games supporters are wanna be gang bangers and in Britain referred to as " yobs, chavs, thugs" and many other names.
9) all the above is IMO, but I'm sure therein do lay some facts
