Grand Theft Auto IV was fun at the time, but it seemed like the series was going backwards instead of forwards. It appears Rockstar is making Grand Theft Auto V bigger and better than any previous game in the series and this is a good thing.
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 finished GTA4 twice but loves saints row 2 more, now it seems like GTA is back and brought the fun back in a big way
GTA Online could be a huge game changer
I loved gta iv it was fun but I did get bored of this one the fastest. Can't wait for gta v it looks awesome
All I want from GTA V is to go bike riding close to a beach in my underwear with a handgun on one hand. thats all rockstar.
I dont want it to be like SR3 though,just more fun.
GTA IV is dull in comparison to GTA V (videos at least)
Has anyone noticed a pattern?.. I mean the first 3D GTA, GTA 3 i found about average at best.. But after playing Vice City then going back to 3, 3 is barely playable and hardly any fun. Then they made an even bigger step with San Andreas.
Then for the first next gen game they went back to the seriousness and most of the dullness of GTA 3.. I never played the addons for it yet but, it seems they are bringing back everything that's fun about GTA, the humor of VC & SA plus the amount of vehicles & landscape to do everything in, not just boring city and no countryside.
I just hope R* listen and let us have scriptable/editable game modes and 64+ player online for the PC version, plus dedicated servers.
If R* fail i imagine everyone will just go back to the huge 200+ player servers of SA-MP.. But R* can easily do as good as that surely.
