All things considered, I think the main reason why Grand Theft Auto V has become boring is because Rockstar made the map completely accessible from the moment you slipped in the disc. In previous titles, you would first have to complete a strand of missions before unlocking certain parts of the map, until gradually you would have a full, open world to explore. That meant that, unless you cheated, you probably wouldn't have experienced the entire map for a good couple of weeks after release, which made each area more special, and more personable. I blitzed through the terrain on offer in GTA V is about two days. I've seen everything there is to see, been every place there is to go, and now it all feels so very old. Perhaps if Rockstar had stuck to their unlock system, and made it more of a challenge to traverse the open world, 'V' might have had more replay value. Do you think GTA V has become boring?
