Grand Theft Auto V outsells the yearly box office selling monster franchise, Call of Duty. What? An upset you say? No surprises here actually.
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.
GTAv was so so good, from what I hear and have seen as I have not played the game is that COD did not really change anything and was just more of the same.
Either way I think we all knew GtAV would sell more.
i know it's still a sequel, but at least it's a sequel they took the time to create, making improvements to the game in just about every area.
unlike the identikit approach these yearly games take.
so good for rockstar.
thoroughly deserved the sales for making one of, if not the best games of the year.
no, make that the generation.
Doesn't matter cod still sells more because it has a game come out every year unlike gta whoch only has a new game like every 5 years or so.
this is pretty obviouse this game made billion in a week and everyone i know is tired of cod it sucks to even to my friends who really loved cod
That's not surprising cause COD:Ghost sucks!. I really enjoyed GTA:V more than any other games on the console for this year
