Eh, I think GTA games are fun. I haven’t played 1&2, but the rest are fun as a crime sim. Stealing cars, running from cops, and gun fights are fun, and GTA games offer that both in the narrative and in the sandbox.
I do agree that the hype is ridiculous though. GTA games are fun, but IMO not worth the asking price at launch, and certainly not something I play much beyond completing the story. Killing people and running from the cops gets old after a while. I get far more value from 4x games and city builders than GTA since there’s far more interesting choices due to variance for each play through. That doesn’t mean GTA is bad, it’s just a one-note game that scratches a particular itch.
