What Culture: Waiting for GTA V’s release date to be officially announced is almost like wondering when you’re going to lose your virginity. You know it’ll happen someday, you can scarcely contain your excitement, and you hope beyond hope that it’ll be as awesome as you imagine it. Except unlike losing your virginity, there’s a very good chance it will be.
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.
Its not. Look I liked the GTA IV style and game play in a small way. It was to based on realism and sacrificed the funny aspect
Vice city, San Andreas, GTA III were the series and a massive direction was taken to improve on the series aka GTA IV and yes it exceed is areas the others did not like driving and shooting in a small way. What we all thrive for is fun, madness and over the top fun. Look rockstar needs to capture what the GTA series before was seeking and that is the wildness of free roaming
Will GTA V deliver on this we will wait and see from images, trailers, info and guess work. But to state that GTA IV is the best in the series is a big risk when you can not back it up with facts
Its the only one of this current generation, so you can not state that. Since GTA V is not out yet.
Vice city and San Andreas were the best of the previous generation since that was a previous generation, therefore they can be stated the best of their generation respectively.
So this current generation as only two GTA games so far and you can not state that GTA IV is the best when its the first and only so far and that does not include DLC's... so this article as no base's for truth and is pointless
8 years ago in gta sa on last gen consoles, not only you could swim but can dive, huge map, had light stealth ( area 69 infiltration), tanks, mini-guns, flame-throwers, Jetpacks, fly jumbo plane, dance, mod cars, conduct train, learn all kind of Martial arts, light rpg elements, easy fast and more responsive controls, triathlons and casino games just to name a few.
In GTA IV though it had a better story and obvious visual update, you had broken physiques, slow and awkward controls and the game is very limited in all aspect.
So to make that state is a risk... vice city had everything and so did San Andreas. The best if the best of the old generation
gta 3
None of the five reasons convinced me that GTAIV is the best in the series. I still think that San Andreas is the best.
