"Many stories have come out today, because of the announced delay of BioShock Infinite, most notably the report by Wedbush Securites' Michael Pachter who claimed that the postponed release might make way for Grand Theft Auto V. Out of the entire ordeal however, the question arises, if Rockstar's blockbuster title has been granted a new release slot or has it taken it?"
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.
Now I have GTA5, AC3 and Sleeping Dogs for 2012 XD
whoever thinks so is a complete idiot.....did Ken Levine saying that they felt like it needed more tweaking and adjusting to give the best experience not mean anything to you?
Not to mention Bioshock and GTA are no where near comparison
Why do people think it's delayed because of GTA5? The GTA games aren't good anymore. These days if you want a fun game that played like the old GTAs (back when they were good) you have to play Saints Row. GTA4 & 5 sacrifice all the fun for realism. Not to mention Bioshock is nothing like GTA so obviously they have different fanbases.
I'd buy Bioshock Infinite over another mediocre GTA any day. Of course, I'll never buy another GTA game again with this new crappy direction they're taking it in.
2K does have 2 other games coming out this fall
If anything bioshock might be getting delayed more because of borderlands 2.
