Excerpt
"With the recent news of Grand Theft Auto’s delay to September of this year, Rockstar’s newest installment in their iconic series has been the talk of the town. Game delays are to be expected, and with companies as big as Rockstar, they generally serve to create a more polished product upon release. As such, no one is overly annoyed with the release date being pushed back, but many are wondering what sort of direction the game will take."
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.
Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
A good discussion. I don't think GTA V will break the mould, nor do I want it to become a different game.. Rather it will deliver GTA but bigger and better. Whilst I do love GTA IV, I do hope V captures more of the fun aspects of the previous games.
Hopefully it's a true call back to San Andreas
Rockstar is god of the genre, whatever they decide to make will push the bar (not touched by anyone other in years)even further.
I have no doubt that it will be very great.
They don't want to leave anything out of this game. They're fine-tuning it as much as possible. I'm fine with the delay, because I know it's going to be one of the best games of all time.
The truth is R* knows what they are doing. I'm please.
