NowGamer: "After seeing Grand Theft Auto V in action, the feeling I took away from it was the impressive way it wove together elements from the many different Rockstar games we’ve seen released in the past ten years.
This immense world, this county, captures the vibe of San Andreas, with the detail of Grand Theft Auto IV, scale on a par to Red Dead Redemption and the multiple character snapshots seen in Episodes From Liberty City – indeed, if Rockstar wanted to build the ultimate open world, adding up these elements really should yield some success."
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.
Got a very funny feeling, WATCH_DOGS will be bigger.
While I'm hyped about the single player, I'm curious what they have in store on the multi-player side, RDR had so much too do in co-op.
Gta v is poised to be the kind of sandbox games. Has anyone read the previews? They are bringing back all the good stuff that everyone fell in love with in San Andreas, and more. This includes but is not limited to, customizations of cars, clothes, physique, weapons, tattoos, accessories. One can upgrade their driving skills, shooting skills, lung capacity, and stamina. We have the ability to play missions in stealth mode. Silenced weapons, planes helicopters, massive play area, original story, amazing graphics, improved physics and particle rendering. The list goes on and on. It's merging San Andreas and gta IV together and bringing the pros of each to form the best gta ever.
Just Cause 3 will trump it.
I've always wanted R* to put all their best elements into one game so one would never have to change the disk.
Feel like racing? add the driving from Midnight club with some tweaks. They could make a whole side mission out of underground races. Same for planes and boats.
Murder by the numbers? plenty of guns and targets to choose from. Not to mention 3 player co-op heists(I'm hoping).
Hopefully the melee is tweaked enough to make fight club side missions fun.
Guess we'll see soon enough.
