Christopher Buffa (Prima Games): Last winter, some of us gambled that Rockstar would bring Grand Theft Auto 5 to Xbox One, PS4 and PC. This meant selling our Xbox 360 and PS3 copies of the game and basically crossing our fingers that it would happen, which it will later this fall. Considering the decent number of pre-owned copies in stores, we suspect plenty of other gamers made the same bet.
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.
I haven't missed anything because I haven't played it yet!
Will welcome GTAV PC in all it's 4K Glory on my 60" Sony 4K Bravia TV while using a Red Dualshock 4 this fall!
Can't wait for GTAV Icenhancer mod but until then the Spiderman GTAIV mod is AWESOME!
ATi_Elite,
lol!
Enjoy.
The mission where Trevor tells Wade the story, while they're in the truck, is so hysterical that I had to pause it while I laughed. A game hasn't made me laugh like that in quite a long time.
The game is lots of fun, and Trevor is just too awesome not to love.
should be called cool stuff you missed in GTA5 that were in GTA SA or past gtas
actually going in and gambling in the casino
burglar
vigilante
paramedic
firefigher
repo/cartheft
gang wars
numerous other odd jobs
pushing/shove any npcs
buying food from vendors
Mostly everyone who has/had GTA V played GTA online. So not sure why it's on this list. .. If anything it was Rockstar that missed with online
Honestly speaking, I just love jumping then quickly pressing circle and falling on people. Funniest shit, and the cops never get onto you haha love tackling them into the ocean
