The Phantom Pain has a map about a third of the size of GTA 5.
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.
Tiny
Kojima will put thousands of secrets in there no doubt
A big map doesn't mean anything without an incentive for the gamer to explore. GTA games never fail to fill their worlds with intricate details that gamers like me love to find. The quirky gameplay and the stealth mechanics are the reason I love mgs, the map size is irrelevant imo but it is nice to have more freedom and not being confined to linear map levels. In summary map size does not in anyway shape or form equate to more value for money when purchasing a game like mgs imo.
Mgs ..The only game that i think ( big ) open world is a bad idea .. I hope kojima but some cool stuff in the game
Comparing those 2 maps is completely pointless. You need to factor in the speed at which your character moves, how fast he will walk and run, and what vehicles will be available.
In MGS games, the character is always pretty slow, well he moves at a human pace, so even though the maps in MGS games are traditionnally quite small, it takes hours to go through them.
Whereas in GTA games, you can actually go from one end of the map to the other pretty fast, the GTA games are not realistic at all in this regard.
Bottom of the line is, you can't really calculate a kilometer in a game, for a start, let alone say it measures exactly the same as in an other game.
