You no doubt already have your calendars marked for September 17 -- the day Grand Theft Auto V releases. It's going to be a loooong couple of weeks to wait.
Fortunately, we can help pass the time. We've lined up a ton of fun Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online content that will hit IGN between now and launch. Here's the schedule, which will be updated as more pieces fall into place. Note: each day's content will be posted at 9am PDT/12pm EDT/.
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.
And here it is:
Tuesday, September 3: World's First Grand Theft Auto V Hands-On
Wednesday, September 4: Grand Theft Auto Online Hands-On
Thursday, September 5: The Sum of All Peers: Rockstar Discusses How it Built a Next-Gen World on Current-Gen Tech
Friday, September 6: Another Take on Grand Theft Auto V's Single-Player Campaign
Saturday, September 7 and beyond: ??? (Check back and see!)
I can't wait to read the online hands on. But I want to play it more. I hope I can get through the Single player before Online launches but with the massive amount of things to do and the things that might make me distracted says that I will probably be trying to do the SP and MP together.
Still cant decide whether to buy GTA V or wait and save for Next gen console
