Trust me, I know this as much as you do but my guess is they dumbed it down for, well, dumb people. Probably for the ones who thought GTA IV was 2serious, but lacked to actually see the smart sarcastic value.
Sedans wrote:the interesting element: As someone who's had every GTA since Vice City, GTA V is the least interesting GTA I've ever played. The antagonists, if you could even call them that, are about as scary and threatening and a pink teddy bear.
the gripping element: The story has no kind of emotional connection, its so awkward and forced. I feel no compassion for any character
While I feel the antoganists weren't as interesting, I found rest of the story great, if not better. I simply love the agency wars between the FiB and the IAA, not to mention, the numerious heists. (Paleto bay disincluded, that was way too easy/boring)
Sedans wrote:the grand theft auto element, Though no GTA has every focused entirely on stealing cars, it seems that cars is even less important now than ever..
I have no idea what makes you think that but I fully disagree. They were even given customization options this time, which makes R* seem that they paid even more focus on them.

I don't know about this again, as I found there was tons of stuff to do. More so than in IV.
Sedans wrote:The driving physics are horribly unsatisfying, the radio is terrible, the characters are hateable, and the map may be huge, but it's quite empty as in it is one-dimensional. The peds have no personalities, other than to cuss you out and call terminator cops on you for merely standing on the sidewalk. Terrible programming, terrible story, terrible game. Online is nothing but a micro-transaction trap for rich people and kids with their parent's credit cards.
This bashing for the most part seems pretty empty, but it's almost as if you're also stating it as a fact, which I don't understand. There's not a single time where the game is so hard that it would force you to use micro-transactions or that it showed them in your face. If anything, it's nice that for busy people, there's that option to get easy money, if they wish to do so, which no one is forced to do and through which no one really gains a HUGE gain over another. Okay, the person has more money to spend on an apartment, maybe his cars or buy weapons & ammunition? So can you! It's easy to rack up $100,000 in-game in a couple of jobs with your friends, especially since they increased the amount of money you get.
Radio is terrible? Cool, that's your opinion but I've grown to like it. Like with pretty much any GTA, there's songs I like and songs I don't like. I don't see how this is a huge issue, but then again, I'm not you. I don't know about the map either, it has a lot of unique elements to nature and places to go visit. Like any real desert or forest, there is a lot of empty space, cos that's how they work. No one was complaining about that in GTA SA.
The cops only arrest you if you get in their personal space, not standing on the sidewalk. Terrible programming? Terrible story, how so? If anything, the programming saw a lot of improvements over V, though it is a shame the cops speed boost now but that's more or less my only issue about the programming.
I don't understand the part about peds either, they more or less behave as they always have, with even more improvements.

The visuals were updated tons from the old gen, I have no idea what you've been watching. The fact that they built the animations ground up from beginning to end so they support first person is already very massive.

Too bad I guess?

I haven't noticed that. More than likely it's a jet that took you out with it's rockets, I know I've faced that situation a couple of times I thought I was home free.
