I actually feel like they've gotten better in terms of story and character development with each iteration. Niko Bellic was one of my all time favorites, and I thought they did a good job balancing 3 characters in GTA V. They're all certainly... over the top, but given what you do in GTA, it makes sense.

This was my only issue with Niko. He was a great character but then the mission ends and I drive away at 100 mph and run over 5 pedestrians and he shouts "I hope you have insurance!" Sure you can play the open-world sections true to the character... But pacifism isn't what you do in GTA :P

The GTA 5 characters were designed better in that regard. Niko had the deeper/more complex story overall, but he's at odds with the gameplay.

In this context I learned of "Ludonarrative Dissonance". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludonarrative_dissonance
