Gameplay wise absolutely overrated.
Hard for me to grasp that a game who has less features than any other open world game could be so well regarded.
As I say every year to GTA: Call me when I can climb shit and shoot electricity out of my hands.

Just because its not infamous it doesnt mean its overrated

It's also not Farcry, Just Cause, Saints Row, Crackdown, Dead Rising, Sleeping Dogs, The Saboteur, Prototype or Watch Dogs. Hell, it's not even Postal.

All these games are contemporary open world games that have unique gameplay elements that elevate above "take that gun, shoot that guy" and "take that car, drive to that point". GTA is just boring and I see no point in choosing it over any of the games I mentioned.

Sure GTA might be the mother of all these but it sure hasn't changed since its first installment and because of that was overtaken by her sons.
