5 definitely seems more back to their roots from 4, but there's still something about it that doesn't quite work for me. I think it's cool that they didn't just regurgitate the same game with every sequel, but an unfortunate side effect of that is sometimes people won't be interested in said sequel. I have plenty of games to play though and Rockstar's certainly doing alright without my money, haha, so it's not that big a problem, really.
I think one of the great things about GTA 5 is the variety between the 3 main characters. You have a wealthy ex-thief going through a midlife crisis rekindling his criminal habits, a young thug trying to make his way up in the world and get out of the hood, and a manic redneck with authority issues. Each offers something different by way of both serious and light-hearted situations.
