    Yeah there’s always a lot of divided audience feedback. SR2 was too serious for me still, it felt like a low-budget GTA clone and I wasn’t even a GTA fan in the first place.

    But SR3 and 4? They were so ridiculously over the top, they parodied the whole genre. A genre I love to see made fun of, so they were perfect for me.

      SR2 just felt like the crazy Vice City sequel that Rockstar refused to give me at the time.

      San Andreas, GTA4 felt too serious. SR3 and 4 felt too silly, to the point of turning into Crackdown.

      GTA5 felt back on track though, and that’s probably mostly down to Trevor. You can cause utter mayhem without breaking character.
