His military unit was betrayed by one of its members, leaving him and two others as the sole survivors from the ambush. Rather than focus on a born-and-bred American, players follow a Serbian immigrant coming to Liberty City in the late 2000s, whose backstory is based around the very real conflict of the Yugoslav wars.
Grand Theft Auto 4 did this to a similar degree as well, but the overarching story of Niko Bellic's journey represented a very different tone in comparison. Grand Theft Auto gameplay has always encouraged wanton violence, and the stories have always supported that design.
Ranging from the stereotypical to outright ridiculous, the singleplayer campaigns from games like Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, or San Andreas only sought to engage players through ramping up the action. Any degree of narrative complexity from Rockstar Games' writing was generally reserved for the Red Dead Redemption games, both of which were praised for their story. In the past, Grand Theft Auto stories often haven't made a concerted effort in telling narratively compelling stories alongside its parody of United States culture. RELATED: Grand Theft Auto 5 Has Sold More Than 160 Million Copies American Excess As Depicted In Grand Theft Auto Many of Grand Theft Auto 5's main characters aren't memorable or compelling in any context other than contributing to the satire of American excess, but Grand Theft Auto 4 managed to balance satire with motivational complexity. Granted it's arguable whether or not any Grand Theft Auto game has done that effectively, but Grand Theft Auto 4 makes a case for itself with a far more memorable cast of characters and narrative in comparison.
Grand Theft Auto 5 certainly succeeds in accomplishing the benchmark satirical commentary that the series is known for, but it doesn't really accomplish this with any sense of nuance or decent character development.

Things like the consistently evolving and often updated multiplayer, as well as the incredibly popular roleplay mods, GTA 5 remains an impressive gaming mainstay. While the presumed Grand Theft Auto 6 has reportedly been in development for years already, Grand Theft Auto 5 has still maintained a surprising degree of popularity over time, despite releasing almost a decade ago now. In the wake of Grand Theft Auto 5 once again breaking sales records at 160 million sold, Rockstar Games has also officially announced the development of the next Grand Theft Auto title.
