I am deeply and happily involved in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Best game I've ever played, really. (I've played a lot of games.)

I like to play Grand Theft Auto games, but I am not inspired to commit any crime. I'm smart enough to distinguish between fantasy and real and know that I will have to suffer the consequences if I do so. If they aren't smart enough (or ignorant) to know that, they shouldn't play Grand Theft Auto games.

Too boring and too complicated.

The Liberty City subway map comes with every game.

He was looking for the map 4 years ago. I'm sure he either has it by now, or doesn't care anymore. :-)

-the deep involving story

*goes back to GTAIV marathon*
For me it probably the radio stations, random crusin, NPCs, trying to get to 6 stars with out getting caught.

To me those or some of the best part or GTA the conversations on the street and the random comments by the pedestrians lol....Red Dead had some of that too.

No more than I want to be a lone Special Forces operative vs an entire army, a galaxy trotting space fighter, wizard or bikini clad hand-to-hand fighter with gigantic boobs.

I know this is an old thread but hasn't the OP heard of "fantasy escapism?"
