As Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto V got awarded as the Game of the Year last night at the VGX Show, it was worth noting some facts about this game, as well as its opponent, Naughty Dog's The Last of Us
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…
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.
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.
In my honest opinion, The Last of us is game of year. Amazing Story, fantastic graphics, wonderful gameplay, and the way it leaves you feeling after beating it is something that no other game has done before, well, The Walking Dead did it too I suppose. Grand Theft Auto V is an amazing game to, but in all honesty, i don't really see myself going back to play it anytime soon. I've replayed TLOU five times now, just replaying it for the hell of it and beating the hardest difficulty. It is a really remarkable game that deserves all the praise it gets. I also see it as a strong contender for Game of the Generation.
The Last Of Us.
last of us for me :) game had me engrossed daily were as gta had me that way for 4 days then i just stopped playing it and still havent in weeks now
The Last of Us. Dont get me wrong GTA5 was Amazing by far the best one made but when put against a game like TLOU I dont think GTA holds a candle.
Gta 5
From the comments on this site you would think TLOU outsells GTA5 (on ps3) 5:1 , lol but no it's the other way around. gTA5 sold 14 million on ps3, TLOU sold 3 million, it's not up for debate which game is more popular among ps3 gamers The fanboys on this site live in a bubble
