Personally I would have to go with GTA IV, the mix between its variety of random interiors fitting for everyday actions like bars, project staircases, abandoned apartments, stripclubs, etc (And the freedom of movement they offer) the variety of gangs, and its gritty concrete jungle feeling makes it nice for it to be a "Crime simulator"

I mean roleplaying in the classic "GTA sense" where you pretend you're doing certain actions, or things are in a certain matter which aren't actually that way in the game, everything totally outside any side activity the game offers. 

 

Like I'm wearing the cop outfit in Vice City, go to the police station, and pretend that Tommy works there as a cop. It's not actually that way, but you pretend it is.

 

It's just dumb fun coming from imagination, treating the game like it's actually your own "Sand box"

It's a toss up between GTA SA and GTA IV for me. It's ironic how GTA Online probably has the most content of any game and yet lacks even a modicum of immersion. My imagination runs wild the moment I start a new game as Niko or CJ, but when I take control of my actual GTA Online character I feel nothing. Everything feels weirdly sterile and fake. It's like I become hyperaware that I'm stuck on a sh*tty map with no interiors where nothing matters. I don't get that feeling of disconnect in other games.

i didn't had that much of toys to play , so i just boot up the games and do things like check on CJ is he doing okay , lets give him some cozy clothes since winter is coming , lets move to whetstone , news claim they've seen a big giant with very big foots twice as the height of a normal being , lets investigate, oh what's that? a wrecked glendale? whom does it belong to? sh1t i should get out of here , no npcs, no sound of cars , no horns sh1t lets go back to grove street and recruit some homies, get in a fully bulletproof + nitro added buffalo and come back at flint county fully packed with supplies. Nowadays people play the games like they are just speedrunning without understanding a single thing of lore or the definition of being lost in a imaginary world, People fail to feel the charm of the games. This is like a child playing with a toy or a Game Designer POV , thinking of action packed scenes etc, i always avoided Las Brujas in SA near the airfield whenever i was playing alone seriously.., This is the reason why i finished LCS in 7 months when i played it for the first time , SA took 2 months , VC also took 2 months basically spent my 2 summer vacations by just playing gta games with fixed timings on a pentium computer , this feels cringe but it was the joy i had in my childhood 
i completed gta IV when i was in 5th grade which took about 1 month bcz i was getting used to to keyboard and mouse, Driving a intruder , in rainy Alderney , smoke coming out of Niko's mouth made me think that if i play gta iv more and till december then liberty city might receive snow, Simply Walking from Bohan to Algonquin with a npc bcz of thunderstorm , less cars but you gotta go to work idk but gta iv for some reason gives the same neo noir cozy NYC vibe / atmosphere like max payne which was very very perfect

GTAO.

And I'm not joking. It's the only GTA you really can properly RP in.

LCS is the easiest one for me to roleplay in because I’m a mamas boy

IV's online mode hit different for rp tbh. Even if all you did was just walk around and drive, imagination went a long way with it.

GTA SA because CJ is a fairly complex character and it's interesting to put myself into the mind of a petty crook that gets thrust into a bunch of crazy situations

 

GTA 3 Claude is a blank state so I wonder a lot about his motivations and thoughts as he does the missions

I feel like that’s the best character to roleplay with just because he isn’t pigeonholed by a personality and you can imagine his reasonings and logic however you please

I rarely RP but when I do it it's VC or 3 or Online.

Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto IV, the only games that make me feel like a real street criminal.

 

Also, San Andreas but only in Los Santos.

SA and TBOGT. Vanilla IV and V offer plenty of room for roleplay, but both games are story-driven, which makes it hard to make stuff up independetly without associating yourself with the protagonist in one way or another. I find it manageable in TBOGT, because Luis strikes me as more of an everyman(in a good way), who isn't confined by dramatic boundaries.

Yeah it's why they didn't give him a voice so we could put ourselves in his stylish sneakers.

Hey, I love roleplaying as civilian with Luis.

 

Walk around city or take subway buying hot dogs, burgers go dancing, get drunk.

 

But these headache and diarrhea next day is probably 11 out of 10...
