Grand Theft Auto IV
Grand Theft Auto IV forgot its roots, simple as that. The previous installations in the series were great because they didn’t take themselves too seriously. The tongue-in-cheek humor and slightly unrealistic gameplay of the first entries in the series are what made them so memorable.

Rockstar learned from their mistakes, and hopefully GTA VI will be even better.
