I'm not a gamer. I've only barely played any of GTA, but what I have I liked.
When GTA V came out, I couldn't believe the level of detail and the size of the world, and how much could be done within it (especially in "sandbox" mode). I was so stoked about it, I plunked the money down to build a dedicated GTA V Windows box (and I haven't used 'doze at home in well over 15 years). It was the first and only game to get me to do this.
Now - I'll level with ya here - I never put that box together; I still have all the pieces (it was going to be a Mini-ITX with 16 GB, GTX 970, etc stuffed in a ThermalTake Core V21) - I just never got around to it (I even bought the game on Steam).
Now I'm thinking about using all of that for a new ML workstation to replace my current aging system (but I can still use it for GTA V I guess).
I know this isn't a ringing endorsement, but if a game can make someone like me that hyped about it - to drop money into parts for a complete new system just to play the game, from somebody who isn't a gamer, nor a Windows user (or fan) - well, that game has to be something special, ya know?
The only other game that moves me like this is currently near vaporware - Cyberpunk 2077 (and I haven't heard anything recent on it, since I've been heads down in my ML course).
