Is there a "point" to GTAO?

Maybe heists will reinvigorate Online. Having our own voices would be cool, until you hear 23587254 other people using the same exact voice...and you mentioned the pilot headset. Has anyone else come across a glitch where the headset stays on your character at all times? Idk if it's a glitch or what, but I can't remove it.

Those who think it is oh-so-clever to respond with "gee, to have fun. DUH!" themselves miss the point. It's a game. The point of any game is to have fun. Might as well inform everyone that water is wet while your at it. The spirit of the OP's querry was in regard to the games over-arching story (or lack thereof). I do agree a game should not reqire it, if done right, for fun to be had. However, without at least some vague backround plot or history, a game can be rambling and end up feeling directionless. Most likely a lot of people are perfectly fine with that, and that's cool. There are those of us, though, that figured after 5 years a developer might have come up with something a bit meatier, more polished and with more depth.

I like sandbox type of games, where I am not hand held or forced to do a certain thing just because the damn devs thought it`s funny.

 

Making my own endgame is where the fun is at.
