The GTA series has had the same focus since GTA2 and expanded on that since it went 3D. The stories are quite mature and incredible thought out. It is nothing like the over-exaggerated and empty plot of saints row. "We are famous criminals and no one touches us because we are so rich!" yea....no.... Its bearable when all you are doing is killing time when there's nothing to better to do, but its not even in the same league as GTA4 as far as a complete game goes.
the GTA series gets better and better every incarnation and GTA5 is their biggest, by far, yet.
PS, you should really try GTA4 after the 1st patch, they fixed all of the port issues every quickly (months) and it feels incredibly good on a PC now.
