NowGamer: Analyst Michael Pachter not wrapped up in GTA hype.
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.
Well considering we have heard literally nothing about GTAV i would say this constitutes an announcement.
GTA IV fealt a little rushed so I'm excited to see if GTA V makes a distinct improvement!
Of course it's an announcement. It's a logo, from Rockstar, proving it's in existence.
I for one think GTA IV - while good - was a little limited, kind of in the way GTA III was in hindsight. I think GTA V should be the one to look out for.
Ha of course he isn't caught up in the hype, pretty sure Rockstar doesn't like him...I remember reading something about Patcher saying they wouldn't send him a copy of their games.
Again Pachter proves he is a dumbass, I hate how he is somehow the go-to guy as far as analysts go in the gaming industry. How did he earn this status?
