I see your point there Rain, as GTA is already over the top, since three opportunistic criminals would rarely succeed on the GTA V scale in real life. I like realism as much as the next person, it's one of the main reasons I play GTA. So far I think Rockstar have got the balance right between realism and surrealism, but if Rockstar make a GTA too realistic, it will detract from the enjoyment for many players and probably sound GTA's eventual death knell. With regards to the gameplay, I prefer the over-the-top style, but when it comes to the environment I prefer the realism. Combine the two and you have a perfect GTA game.
