What an unusual take. I've never thought about GTA as an RPG but an action game.

The last one I played, you had to go to the gym to level stats that were tied to abilities like sprinting. If you ate the wrong food you got fat. There's quests to do for people all over town, character customization in the form of clothing etc etc. It's a hell of a lot closer to the Witcher 3 than it is Final Fantasy but it's a roleplaying game in disguise imho.

I remember back in the day when I would level muscles to 100% in San Andreas and none of my friends believed me when I said I didn't cheat. Good times, simpler times...

Yeah, there's not exactly a lot of role playing to be done, especially not in story mode.

[–] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No I get his point. The world is incredibly realistic and I could see how role-playing could be fun. It's just not something that I would do in GTA

The weird thing is that you can find lots of RP videos using GTA on youtube and tiktok, but it's always on a multiplayer server
