GTA V: 10 Inevitabilities We Aren’t Looking Forward To

Grand Theft Auto V could arguably be the most anticipated title in video game history, and is now less a fortnight away from being released into the sweaty, excited hands of gamers all over the world. Amongst the trailers, articles and internet hype that has been boiling over, much has come to light as to what to expect come that fateful day in September, and it looks like there is a hell of a lot to be excited about. However, fans of the series will know that it hasn’t been without its grievances.

With GTA V looking more impressive by the minute, it’s hard to find the flaws. But let’s try anyway Here is a look at some of the potentially less exciting prospects we can expect from Rockstar’s latest outing.

The only thing about this article is that Jack got disbarred (banned form practicing law) for slander and breaking other laws such as practicing out of state illegally. Everything else is subjective or in some cases or wrong because GTA V has checkpoints, doesn't have relationships I actually agree with the multiplayer thing though...kind of scaring me. but tbh I have no problem getting lost in GTA V....thats when you discover the most, when you are good and lost.

I agree with everything but the thing w the online is that they have seperate development teams and gtaO is considered its own entity, its just using the gtaV material as a jumping off point. The impact that has on gtaV remains to be seen, but I am not worried as the writing/story team would not be effected by the online component.

No I was worried specifically about when he said "the GTA online community will make the COD community look like nuns" and then referencing 12 year olds..that scares me..I have no doubt about the quality AT ALL. Just imagining getting skrewed in a heist because a 12 year old in england grabbed the bag and took all the money and start blabbing with his stupid kiddy heavy accent..omg..oh joy. that mechanic has me worried that you wont even work as a team in missions because (although you need to work together to complete the heists you'll end up fighting each other to get the money at the end. And if whoever takes the money once the mission is complete can do so behind a simple decision with little consequence because the people who didn't grab the money aren't right next to him when he makes the call. then he can just quit the match and done....he's off scot free.

Ah I see your concerns, however they said that there will be a system wherein a player who is unfair in such ways can be reported and enoigh bad rep results in a symbol by their name so you will know before you get screwed by them. I doubt it'll be flawless but they are taking steps. I plan to play w my buddies mainly but the 16 player missions will definitely be a bit sketchy.

I think a lot of the old issues we saw in GTA IV have been resolved such as the annoying cell phone, insane car physics(too realistic although fun in races), and the real purpose of money.

A lot of the writers points about possible negatives that could pop up aren't really things I'm worried about. The cover system I'm sure is going to work well. If I end up driving out to the middle of nowhere, I'll just switch to another character. I'm sure the controls are going to be tight, but of course I'm going to die regardless. If the game doesn't get challenging then their not doing it right lol.

Finally, I found that GTA IV's online was...okay, but I think GTA Online is going to be leaps and bounds better than GTA IV's online mode. This seems more like a complete package. And no, I don't think the Online mode is going to take anything away from the single player mode.

I wouldnt worry too much about the community ... There are tons of diehard gta fans out there that you will consistently find online ... Just friend a few . I bought gta 4 twice because I got so much grief from my gta friends for trading it lol

10 pages, only one factioid on each one, and ad's on every page.

Oh yeah, this is just what N4G needs....

[inmusicutrust]

And most of the "factoids" have already been discussed and completely false, such as the cell phone bit(r* has already said they cut theis drastically) and the restarting a mission at the hospital if you die(checkpoints were confirmed already). Not to mention that he is worried that a lamp post will pull him into cover. Horrible "journalism" really one of the worst articles I've ever read, sorry to be harsh but honestly, if he just read the ign previews from earlier this week he would have half of these concerns relieved

Ya,sadly its a better title than article ... Ten srperate pages ? Nope ...
Personally im looking for an upgrade on load screens and fast travel

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Either way, this game won't disappoint. Though GTA IV isn't my favourite GTA, I still wasn't that disappointed and pretty happy with it and it brought many hours of gameplay so I expect no less from GTA V.

[T2]

I agree totally .

[Stallion]

I don't think "inevitability" means what you think it means.
Near all of these are rampant speculation, some of them already confirmed to be not true.

The author is clearly just hating on GTA. The last point he made was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. The game hasn't even come out yet and they're complaining.
