GTA clones stopped (THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT).

I mean, open world games are commonplace. It’s like saying “doomclones” stopped. Yeah, they became fpses.

but on the other hand “realistic crime open world games” kinda gta knockoffs were more commonplace back then.

Unfortunately, somehow, gta feels like a gta knockoff. I didn’t even finish V, and the satire just seemed less biting, and late to the punch. Like the jokes it was making had already been made elsewhere, so it felt stale and done before.
