It's actually a bit of a twist from standard videogame/GTA format, as the events of the game do little to help and "winning" simply means a prolonged empty, hollow joyless existence that makes death seem merciful.
It's the story of a man trying to find a place in a world that has no place for him, and his pointless struggle against his own nature. He's a monster who's seeking redemption, but the fact that america is as horrible as anywhere else just causes him to fall to old habits. Perhaps even further than before.
All buried under a veneer of fart jokes, toilet humor, and jokes about genitalia.
