I didn't imply you were being non-serious. I just find it surprising that you can admit that GTA games have absolutely no merit at all.
Can you seriously say you don't think the games are fun even to just screw around in? C'mon, man. Flying cars. Gimp suits. Punches that send people across the world. Superjumps. Just so fun.
But yeah, the story are prettty much hackneyed attempts at mob and gang movies with some petty and uninteresting characters, but that's part of its charm. Plus, the guys at Rockstar have a good sense of humour, and that usually comes through pretty well in the games.
The commercials are annoying as fuck, though.

If screwing around in open world games is what you want, Saints Row and Just Cause both do it much better than GTA ever has, the only edge GTA has is the superior multiplayer.
Also I enjoy the fuck out of Rockstar's stories, and I don't think there is any argument you can make that would convince me they're not on the upper scale of videogame stories, which isn't saying much I admit, but I still think they would be a little bit above mediocre movie status.
