    I found the gameplay of GTA 4 and 5 to be “drive across town to watch a custscene” at their core, but GTA4 is very enjoyable if you a) relax into it, stop trying to take control and just accept that you’re kind of playing a movie, and b) get good at the driving, which has a surprisingly high skill ceiling. The feeling of just running errands won’t fully go away but the story builds and the missions get more exciting.

      Part of why I liked RDR2 so much was it felt like being IN a Cohen brothers movie. Really did feel like “playing” a movie to me. The production value was just off the charts.
