Line 20:
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Many characters' actions, personalities and motivations can be interpreted in any one of several ways.
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Most of the bosses are very easy in comparison to the hordes of [[Mook|mooks]] you fight to get to them. Justified in that, while they may be criminal masterminds, they are still human.
* [[Broken Base]]: Following ''IV'', the fanbase seemed to have split into two directions -- those who missed the more over-the-top style and player customization of the past games (particularly ''San Andreas''), and those who preferred the more realistic tone of ''IV''. A good deal of the former crowd has gravitated to the ''[[Saints Row]]'' games, which is why you don't hear them as much. There was also a brief split after it was announced that the protagonist of ''San Andreas'' would be a black [[Gang-Bangers]] from South Central (complete with claims that Rockstar was trying to pander to the tastes of [[Pretty Fly for Aa White Guy|pasty suburban white boys]]), although that rift healed pretty quickly after ''San Andreas'' was released and the "ghetto" parts turned out to be some of the best parts of the game.
* [[Catharsis Factor]]: Running down pedestrians and [[Stuff Blowing Up|blowing stuff up]] can be very therapeutic.
* [[Canon Dis Continuity]]: ''Advance''. Neither its characters nor plotline are referenced in the rest of the series, and many fans either deny its existence or do not even know it exists.
Line 40:
* [[The Scrappy]]: Most fans aren't too fond of the GBA release, though it is popular among those who like the old-school games.
* [[Sequel Displacement]]: Many people only know that ''III'' was the third game in the series by virtue of the big Roman numeral III in the title.
* [[Sidetracked Byby the Gold Saucer]]: Many of the minigames have this effect.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The 3D games are this to ''[[Body Harvest]]'', DMA Design/Rockstar North's previous 3D open-world game.
* [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel]]: ''III''. The games before this were rather mediocre action titles that were only distinguished by their open worlds and controversial content.
