By now you have seen the Grand Theft Auto V gameplay trailer, and noticed how much better it looks than Grand Theft Auto IV. GTA IV came out in 2008, when videogames were powered by steam and operated by hand crank. Time has moved on and GTA V appears ready to outdo its predecessor in every conceivable way. Or, at least, in these nine ways.
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.
I didn't care for Grand Theft Auto IV I enjoyed it at the time and it was fun just not the best GTA the expansions were so much better than the main game The Lost and Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony were great!
You might as well had made it 10 ways man
I totally went to the end of GTAIV six times.
Sometimes cheats, sometimes without cheating, but six times.
On PC of course.
I am sure that even after going GTAV again I'll go GTAIV.
Because I like Niko and his cousin and the whole concept of playing GTAIV.
#1. it has more colors than brown.
but seriously I'm expecting GTA V gonna be to GTA IV, what GTA San Andreas was to GTA 3.
