What makes this franchise in particular so popular and have such a wide cultural impact across the various strata of society?Are the games really really good or is it a simple case of social contagion?

>>741778269>Are the games really really goodThey have been a literal benchmark of quality in the vidya industry for over 2 decades.GTA3 being one of the most influential vidya ever created that started the GTA ball rolling and each game pushed the limits of the genre or hardware.It is "the" game you know that when you buy it you will be playing a top class game with lots of cool shit and have a fun time.Where with the exception of the big zeldas, the other game IP that pushes the medium, every other vidya is a hit or miss in quality.Though GTA6 loosing lots of the big leads, could possibly lose its soul.i think it will be a top tier game technically but wont have what makes GTA good. Especially the humor, which had already waned by GTA4 anyway.>>741778906cosolelet faggolel
It's a game that real life NPCs can play.
Rockstar games are fucking terrible, but cattle can't get enough of them.
>>741778269it was controversial back in the day. not so much now obviously. GTA6 will likely be the last GTA made.
