"Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto series has come a long, long way. From the top-down perspective of the first game to the third person, open world sandbox genre of the third game, which has been the template for the series and many other games over the past few years. Grand Theft Auto 5 looks to take things even further, with the amount of activities and missions the player will be able to enjoy."
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.
They don't make cars like how they used to!
Soo...Cheetah is now Enzo, not Testarossa :)
Ya know, this article is stating the obvious....about almost any series. Castlevania has come a long way from it's beginnings as well. Same as Super Mario, Ninja Gaiden, Legend of Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog, Elder Scrolls...I could go on for quite a long list.
Just seems like a stale and pointless article.
no picture of the GTA4 Cheetah?
