Games where you most disagreed with the market

GTA.

And RDR. It’s all just so boring. There’s plenty more games that would qualify as well.

I didn’t play GTA when I was in my early 20s because I didn’t like what it represented. I still don’t, but the graphics are so terrible that it’s easy to dismiss it all as “a game” now. 

So I bought the GTA trilogy for Switch and that’s where I keep ending up. Very boring. Maybe it gets better, but I really doubt it. Even at the time the gameplay was limited (very minimal exploration, no ledge grabbing, terrible jump mechanics), so it’s not like it was “amazing at the time” kind of gameplay. 

I know the hook of the game was and probably still is the subversive nature of it, but to me that always just felt juvenile and not “mature.”
