PAX East 2013 has come and gone and while many will agree that the show was great overall, I personally couldn’t help but feel that a few games were M.I.A. during the expo. From highly anticipated titles to games literally weeks away from release, I feel that a lot of publishers may have missed out on a golden opportunity to get their games out and in front of consumers early. Looking into the matter further, I was able to come up with 5 games in particular that could have benefited from having some sort of presence at this year’s PAX East.
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…
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.
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.
From their most recent entries in the GTA franchise to their cult favorite racing games, find here the best Rockstar games, ranked from best to worst.
"this played to the advantage of Saints Row IV and served as a just reminder that GTA V will have plenty of competition once it drops in September."
Competition...from Saints Row 4
HA
Not even close
If the control is better in GTA V than it was in GTA IV, then Rockstar has no competition whatsoever. Sleeping Dogs, Watch Dogs, Saints Row, doesn't matter. None of them will touch GTA, period.
GTA is one of the most phenomenal games i have ever played. that said, i cant believe people think its just going to blow every other sandbox game out of the water. games like saints row and sleeping dogs have a TON of advantages over GTA 4. unless were talking strictly about sales numbers, you can bet that GTA5 is going to have a whole lot of competition from other sandbox games.
any game that has an auto-aim MULTIPLAYER mechanic, needs serious work....
