Grand Theft Auto 5 is finally available on PC. When you consider the amount of analysis done on one open world game over the past two years, it's intriguing that Rockstar's crime epic has managed to evolve so much.
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.
"Settings included MSAA 2X and 1920 x 1080 resolution with everything dialed up. We did switch off High Resolution Shadows, Huge Detail Streaming While Flying, Extended Distance Scaling and Long Shadows though."
If you're going to do a comparison atleast max out the settings.
Besides more grass, the PS4 and X1 versions look identical, with the PC version so close that in some scenes it's hard to tell what platform looks better?
I know they are a couple of high-end settings turned off, but you have to give it to R* for making this game look great on ALL platforms, even PS3 and 360!
better this better that..the only diferences that actualy makes diference is 60fps and higher res option
the poping is terrible on pc ,hope future patch will solve this
Pc is Complete Edition and it looks absolutely stunning:) Brawo R* more games like GtaV please for Pc ( RDR2 ) . Cross the fingers R* will announce new game soon.
I'm running GTA5 on a two year old computer and it blows the PS4/XBO version out of the sky.
Just the jump to 60fps makes all the difference in the world. You will never want to go back to the PS4/XBO versions after playing it on a PC.
It's like getting chlamydia and swearing never to get that crap on your joystick again.
