"Few games come around that demand your attention like a Grand Theft Auto game. Other game developers pray the release date doesn’t coincide with their own game."
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.
Hmmm im still looking more forward to Bioshock Infinite as I prefer character driven atmospheric games than tongue in cheek games like GTA5
I would actually Im looking forward to TLG (if it comes out this year) and Dead Space 3 almost as much as GTA5
i will buy the game day 1
but there is other games i looking forward more
I'm looking forward to Watch Dogs/Yakuza 5 more actually. I've played so many GTA games in my day that I already know what to expect for the next one. I'm a little jaded on the franchise. I'll get it, but not Day 1. I'll likely wait for the GOTY edition with all the DLC.
I just can't freaking wait. that's all i have to say.
Simple reason it's being made by ROCKSTAR GAMES who made past GTA game along with recently hit RDR
GTA is the biggest name in gaming, I know COD sells a lot but GTA overall has a much more bigger hype factor
