I felt the opposite way about gta v.

I wanted to jump right into exploring the city and driving cars around, but instead it threw you into this scene full of terrible characters and forced you to murder a bunch of people. There is literally no way to start playing the game until you prove you know the shooting mechanic by executing a dozen police officers.

I’m normally fine with violent games, and I had a blast with Vice City and San Andreas, but this intro was so awful that I just put the game down and didn’t come back.
