Welp, finally played through GTA V, on its tenth anniversary, and it was...fine, I guess?

I know it's a tradition for Rockstar games to have a troubled production and that impacting on the game's story, but damn, GTA V just feels like it ends halfway through. We finally feel like we are getting somewhere, getting the big score, then we are hit with the info that we're killing either Michael or Trevor and it just...ends like that? Unsatisfying as hell.

Why am I even gonna keep playing now? To finish the strangers missions? To buy property and see the money pointlessly going up? Meh, if I wanted to play a management minigame I'd rather play Yakuza instead.

I always wondered why GTA V's story didn't seem to have had any impact at all on pop culture, and I guess it's because it sucks. Overall, Sleeping Dogs is just the better game out of the two.
