GamesAsylum looks at the week's releases, including GTA V, Hot Wheels: World's Best Driver, PES 2014, Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, Foul Play, Takedown: Red Sabre and Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers.
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.
Really? I thought publishers were smart enough to avoid the GTA launch month. It would be interestign to see their sales numbers.
i got Puppeteer friday last week together with KH and it's tons of fun..
i didnt know GTA came out it's not my type of games.
But it's the only game we need right now.
il wait before buying GTA.
i still remember what happened with GTA4. when the game launched..perfect 10s across the board. best game ever. the reviews were flattering....after the hype died down, the real reviews started coming out. the ones where they actually told you whats wrong with the game and why it didnt deserve a perfect 10.
il wait for those batch of reviews to come out rather than the ones that are riding the hype.
not saying its a bad/crap game...just saying if i want an opinion i'd rather have an honest one.
GTA is pretty boring. I might get the PC version. Too many better games this fall to spend money on.
