What do the mass shooters from the Navy Yard, Sandy Hook Elementary, the Aurora, Colorado movie theater and Columbine all have in common? They're all target demographic buyers for the world’s best-selling videogame. A game that released the day after the Navy Yard shooting and made $800 million in its first 24 hours on the market.
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.
Who else but Fox?
"Like other best-selling games today, Grand Theft Auto V trains millions of young Americans to walk into public places and shoot innocent people. "
Just no. Idiotic to think this. You know what, I thought our Daily Mail was bad but this is something else. Well done Fox News
Also this "But those who sell and profit from these games know their hundreds of millions in sales dollars are mostly coming from young adults and minors." is not there flipping fault. It is the parents or guardians who buy this stuff for them. Blame them

This is why I stopped watching the news years ago, nothing but misinformed people.
fox news is just being idiots again nothing new to see here
This is a lot worse then when I was watching CNN (flipping channels) a while ago. Some 'psychiatrist' on there said "Grand Theft Auto... Edition..87 or whatever just made a tremendous amount of money when it premiered Tuesday, something like $84 million. [Goes on to talk about guns and stuff.]"
The uninformed misinform, smh.
