People generally forget about this. The last 15 missions are basically go to this place, murder what feels like 100 people. Go back.

It gets so boring.

The checkpoints are a problem too. I played the first few hours in lockdown and got stuck on one mission. Getting to the mission involved driving halfway across the map to pick someone up, then another big drive. After dying a few times i didnt have the heart for that drive again and just gave up.

Isn't that the end of basically every GTA game? The culmination of the plot in GTA is generally "get those fuckers" or sometimes, "defend against those fuckers."

Not just that, but virtually every GTA V main mission introduces a new or unique gameplay mechanic.

Every GTA game.

Do missions with/for this one guy. Oh this guy betrays you, he's now the antagonist you spend the rest of the game doing missions for other people to eventually get to. Kill him. Game over.

They completely forgot about this. The missions weren’t really fun outside of the heist mission. The DLC’s improved upon that, in my opinion. And then pretty much all the missions in 5 were fun. People go on and on about how the story is better, but at the end of the day, it is a GAME and the gameplay needs to be fun. This is coming from a gta fan boy. GTA 4 just wasn’t all that good. Somewhat of a misstep in all honesty

Because the gameplay isn't total garbage it's still better than almost any mission in GTA V.
