So I'm browsing The Twitter and game journos are either teasing "Our review of gta v GOES UP MONDAY!1" and asking "who ISN'T getting gta v!?" (I think that might be Rocket Edge's PSN status actually) I consider myself fairly current with the ongoings in gaming but I feel completely out of the loop with the hype on this one. We hardly talk about it on here, outside of the Saints Row fans bringing up how hard it's been surpassed.

I actually really enjoyed GTA IV but gaming had changed so much in the last 5 years and I just can't get myself as excited for this one. I'm getting the feeling 5 is not going to enjoy the same level of popularity the series has accumulated so far.

Are game journalists trying to manufacture interest that's no longer there or is it just me? Is this still a must-play series and why?
