If you haven't bought it, you should. As a person who also wasn't too thrilled about the single player, the story is fairly interesting. There is the odd boring mission, but I'd say most are entertaining. The heists being the real missions and they're really fun to plan out and then do, you get multiple angles and you can replay the mission so you can do it both ways. Plus the way each character interacts with the enviroment is absolutely awesome. The online is pretty fun if you have friends to play it with, you can race around and even save up for your own apartment and garage. I'd say it's GOTY2013 so far at least home console wise anyways.
