"Well, damn. Only 14 days to go until the mammoth seventh-gen masterpiece drops from the heavens like an atom bomb, strapped to the T with fire-works, which will spell out “GOTY in a big way!” in big, neon-esque traces of letters. Yes, perhaps the only game that can beat The Last of Us for GOTY, Grand Theft Auto V, is almost here. Ever since I was 4, and for the first few seconds I had it, into my PS2 I popped in the gritty, mafioso masterwork GTA III, I have been an extremely hardcore fan of just about every game in the series short of the original, which is quite terrible, and you have my full recommendation against playing it. I feel, to welcome perhaps the new king of the series, as well as open-world sandboxes, or hell, video gaming, I will rank, from worst to best, the games that encompass the violent, provocative Grand Theft Auto series."
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.
For me;
1: GTA San Andreas/ GTA 4
2: GTA Chinatown wars
3: GTA Vice City
4: GTA Liberty city stories
5: GTA 3
6: GTA Advance
7: GTA Vice city stories (haven't played enough)
8: GTA
9: GTA 2
Agree or disagree? The reason why I have GTA 4 and SA together is because i honestly love them both. Also I consider GTA 4 and the expansions to be the complete package. Even without the expansions though GTA 4 would still be up there just maybe at number 2.
San Andreas
Vice city
GTA 3
GTA 4
GTA 1
GTA 2
I have a sneaking suspicion that GTA5 will be at the top of that list come September, or at the very least on par with SA.
I haven't played every GTA, everyone has a different experience with each GTA game they play. The main one I played was Vice City, this was due to me not having a lot of money and my uncle would lend games to me. I would always borrow Vice City.
Anyway, here's my list:
Vice City
San Andreas
GTA III
GTA IV
Vice City Stories
GTA I
The reason being, I didn't play a lot of GTA I, so I can't say I have had enough experience with the game to say that it's better than another GA. VCS was fun, but not nearly as fun as the others.
I see a lot of people enjoying San Andreas more. I do agree that it's an amazing game in the series, it sports a lot of content, character customization and the character design is great, but Vice City was the one I grew up playing.
Of those I've played I'd say my list is:
San Andreas
Chinatown Wars
Vice City
TLaD
TBoGT
GTA IV
GTA III
GTA II
GTA London
GTA
Out of the ones I've played here's my opinion:
GTA San Andreas
GTA Liberty City Stories
GTA Vice City
GTA IV
GTA II
