Geek Nation: I love the open world freedom available to me in something like Grand Theft Auto V. There’s a level of playability there that goes far beyond the story mode, and ensures that even after I beat the game, I can cruise around the insanely detailed greater Los Santos area and do practically anything I can think of at any time. It’s a wildly different kind of game than The Last of Us, and though it offers tons more freedom, that doesn’t make it a better game experience overall. Better replay value? Sure. Better overall? No way.
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.
With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.
I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.
Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder
One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
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.
GTA V is a lot of fun, but TLOU is an amazing game which has a very unique MP
The fun factor is why I would give GTA V the win over TLOU. The gameplay is superior but then again, TLOU is a masterpiece in its own way.
Both are excellent games and represent the best in their respective genres.
Ultimately, it boils down to what you prefer; a story-driven, emotional game or an open world game focusing more on all out fun.
I liked Grand Theft Auto and TLOU but of the two, I'd have to go with GTAV.
Anyway, Super Mario 3D World says hi.
TLOU, fairly easily. I enjoyed GTAV (a lot) until the repetition set in - which it always does. TLOU on the other hand didn't - I feel - outstay its welcome and changed pace enough to enjoy throughout.
Saying all that, Ive got to agree with what videogames website CVG is saying, Super Mario Galaxy is far, far away Game of the Generation...quite flawless.
GTA 5 for me, the scope of the game is amazing with its detail. GTA 5's gameplay is constantly fun for me, weather i'm ramping waves on a jet-ski, flying under bridges in a jet, diving into the water off a pier then proceeding to knife a shark, fist fighting hobos, robbing a minimart, customizing a sports car, or just simply blowing up cop cars. The story is good too, not as good as GTA IV's more serious toned narrative which i preferred more, but it has funnier satire, and well- there's Trevor (my personal CoTY). I'll name several details that make the environment in GTA 5 seem even more realer.
-the lighthouse light in Cape Catfish activates when the weather is foggy.
-NPC dogs sometimes can be seen peeing on a hydrant or a mailbox post.
-If you ram your car in a house window in the middle of the night, the lights will turn on in the house, as if you woke up the person inside.
-a military anthem plays every morning in fort zancudo.
-Some NPC's have in-game procedural schedules, like union workers or gardeners. (Example: A gardener will hop on the bus in the morning, and will ride to a selected house usually in the hills. They'll go in the yard and will start tending/cleaning it. They'll clip hedges, blow leaves, tinker with a mower, clean the pool with a net etc...)
-the moon has real time in-game phases, all with different angular light sources.
-your car and even gun will reflect off light sources.
-the game has slight changes in tide over the day.
-cropdusters spray pesticide over the vineyard at some times of the day.
these are just a PORTION of the little details only rockstar adds to make the scope and map even more impressive.
TLOU is a good game, but it's not a masterpiece. it's misleading when people say that. They're acting like it's the god of games. It does have an exceptional narrative with well voice casting, but the gameplay is decent and can sometimes be repetitive (example: sneak, shoot, sneak shoot, sneak, stealth kill). I played the game just once, and didn't touch it again. Well, this is just my opinion.
