Why I’m Not Interested in Grand Theft Auto

The Late Night Gamer: Now, don’t get me wrong here, I enjoy playing Grand Theft Auto. I’ve played quite a few titles and have fun each time. It is an inherently enjoyable game that gives the player an ability to roam an enormous land of various environments with a sense of such complete freedom that dozens of games just wish they could compare to. Millions have been put into each game, and I can easily see and understand that it has paid off. Rockstar has produced a fantastic franchise that these days, is one of the big dogs of gaming, and I wish it nothing but good will in future. But, as a consumer, there are several reasons why I’m really not that tickled by the game.

Stopped playing, never finish it. It is just not my thing. It looks so bloated, and the story doesn't seem on par with Red Dead Redemption.

Derekvinyard134134d ago

Your loss dude tons of fun. Btw what does bloated mean as a complaint towards a game?

TheBurger294133d ago

No its not a loss. The game was so hyped but SP was a let down and MP is shit because RS got greedy.

KonsoruMasuta4133d ago (Edited 4133d ago )

That's your problem there! Don't play GTA just for the story. The majority of people who buy GTA buy it to dick around in an open world.

When I got the game, I skipped the story for the first week, and went straight to the cheat codes. Fast running + Super Jump + Explosive Melee attacks = Tons of fun.

Yui_Suzumiya4133d ago

I agree. GTA has always been boring to me. Now Red Dead and L.A. Noire I loved.

diehardmetallicafan4133d ago

i finished it and played a bit of mp but it disappointed me big time. i rarely spend full price on a game and it was a complete waste of $100 bucks in my opinion. nothing new

3-4-54133d ago

So hyped for GTA5. Loved it for like a day, beat it, played online for like 2-3 days then realized this game is the most overrated game in the history of games.

Can't believe I got suckered into buying into the hype and then tricking myself into thinking I liked it more than I did for the first 4 days.

I've learned my lesson.

That is what we get for $320 million ? no thanks

these kiddy games with the easy violence, copy and paste grafix and lack of inventivity that anybody could have imagined . fun games but deff overrated .

ape0074133d ago

LoL, do u know anything about videogames??

crusf4133d ago

*Before release*"This game looks so good I am so excited for it!" *After Release* " Damn this game got TOO popular! Gonna act cool and unique by NOT liking it! Chicks dig that.:D"

Audiggity4132d ago

Pretty much. I feel like all of the people still complaining about GTAV either:

1. Think they are AWESOMELY KEWL for not liking a game that cost a quarter of a billion dollars to make

Or

2. Don't have the mental capacity to enjoy a truly non-linear game and actually require the structure put in place by most other largely linear games

Or

3. Based their entire opinion on the launch issues surrounding GTA:O and the subsequent microtransactions... which have nothing to do with how well GTA:O works now.

TheTimeDoctor4133d ago

sadly I couldn't get into it. will try again when I have some more time.

GiantFriendlyCrab4133d ago (Edited 4133d ago )

games that give you to much freedom to do anything you want is not fun at all, maybe the first two hours or so, then you see there is no meaning to play anymore.

LogicStomper4133d ago

So... what you're saying is that freedom is a bad thing?

Audiggity4132d ago

That's nonsense.

Skyrim? Fallout? GTA? Red Dead?

These are all great games, very non-linear, and still maintained the very difficult task of having overarching goals on top of that freedom.

If one doesn't have the mental flexibility to enjoy open world games that is one thing... but to say they aren't fun in general is just silly.

kinda feels like it just makes the image have less contrast, removing shadows somewhat.
Even if it's "more realistic" I think the standard looks better. Not in every situation but the standard likely runs better so I'll side with that more than likely.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese38d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde38d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast38d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake37d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow137d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown45d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8545d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown45d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8545d ago (Edited 45d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole44d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name45d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast45d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj45d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
