Played Grand Theft Auto V for about 3 hours over the weekend. I have to say, I don't get the hype that surrounds these games. The driving mechanics suck, and they are most of the game.

I never have quite understood the whole "all or nothing" constant acceleration in these open world games. The designers do actually drive cars right?

It's just not that complicated. Something like forward speed increasing as long as I hold the stick or the 'forward key'. If I let off, the acceleration should stop, but it should maintain speed. If I brake, etc, it should slow down. That would be way more playable.
