No videogame story is close to a classic movie. Especially in a game like GTA where there's so much freedom and it's quite easy to act out of character, ruining the entire impact of any character transformations (it's hard to feel for the main character after you just blew up a block full of pedestrians with a rocket launcher).

I understand reviews aren't things you should put 100% faith into, but there's something to be said for the reviews the game is getting. I can understand if one reviewer gives an outrageously high score, but this is a game that is getting rave reviews from many sources (who very often don't agree).
You started this conversation off by saying that you don't understand how people can wait in line for a game. I can appreciate your position, but personally I understand the line waiting thing. I wouldn't stand in line for a Harry Potter book or a big movie release, but that doesn't mean I don't understand it. It's a compulsive thing. I've wanted to play it for a couple years, I had a night completely to myself with nothing to do. I could have waited but I flat out didn't want or need to!
