Ricky from Twinfinite writes; "For a studio famous for its amazing narratives, the story of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V seems to have been forgotten about remarkably fast. The reason why, we think, is tied to perhaps its most famous gameplay mechanic; the ability to switch between multiple protagonists at any time."
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.
This author makes a good point about the differences in story execution for GTAIV and GTAV.
Said no one ever.
I disagree that the feature ruined gta 5 as it was rly awesome,but I wouldn't want gta 6 having it. Would prefer a single character nxt gen gta
For me, the multiple characters didn't ruin the game for me, but it diffidently made it to where i didn't care for the characters and didn't care what happened to them. But i did enjoy the missions because they were pretty insane, especially driving the truck off that big ass plane.
