First Person Mode Makes 'GTA 5' More Horrible Than Ever

Take a GTA story as old as time: you walk down the street, you pull out a shotgun, and you shoot an innocent person to death in the street. Boring, right? Shocking a decade or so ago, but we’re all used to it by now. First person mode makes that entirely different. That person fills your entire field of view. He’s big enough so that you can see the expression his face.

Horibble ? no First Person Mode Makes 'GTA 5' More Enjoyable Than Ever .

[Sonital]

Yeah but it is Forbes who wrote the article.

[Rebel_Scum]

Do Forbes ever write a positive game article/opinion piece?

[TheSaint]

This is just the start.... Many more articles will follow.

Butthurt is coming.

I've seen a lot of the 1st person videos and the whole experience does look a lot more personal. I personally don't mind, I'll enjoy it, but there are people out there that will go mental!

[leemo19]

TV News media is going to go ballistic over this, especially when your with a hooker, I know the feminist people won't like that.

[jspsc123]

dont female escorts make more than male escorts. i thing thats something feminist should be proud of

[SilentNegotiator]

Depends on whether they're sex positive or not during the exact minute that you ask them.

[Mykky]

You're not a feminist? You don't think woman should have equal rights as men? Because that is what the word actually means. But I do get your point and I agree, I just don't think the word feminist is a good word to use, as it ruins it for those men and woman who actually have good reasons to complain about woman rights.

[mediate-this]

Lol @men complaining about female rights. Women have just as much rights as men in the developed countries.

Not talking countries where everyone is screwed out of their rights not just women, women had it bad, blacks had it bad every race at some point has it bad.

Women make more money than men on average now, but now women can't keep up with the families. Just sick of that bs

[SilentNegotiator]

"You're not a feminist? You don't think woman should have equal rights as men? Because that is what the word actually means"

Words are generally agreed upon terms and the people claiming to be feminists are not out for "equal" rights; they want MORE rights than men.

[Mykky]

@Mediate-this
Yes woman do have equal rights in developed countries but that was never my point. My point was that the word feminist is being misused. Both by female who make insanly stupid points where they mean they are treated unequal and by those who entitle them.

And yes some men actually do care for woman rights, though that is usually for women in less developed countries.

@SilentNegotiator
"the people claiming to be feminists are not out for "equal" rights; they want MORE rights than men." How can you even claim that? That is toal BS.
Some of them is indeed female idiots that make points where there are none to make. Though those who actually fight for women rights in less developed countries operate under the word feminist.

I'm pissed! Not able to transfer my character from the 360! Anyone else having this problem?

[paul-p1988]

Rockstar are aware of some issues (theres another article live on N4G at the moment about it) and are working on a fix. Apparently it affects both PS3 and 360 if you hadn't logged in to GTA Online for quite a while

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

My transfer worked for the ps4, actually I'm still in awe that everything went as smooth as it did. I was on the fence about getting this but now I'm glad I did.

[yezz]

Ok. You can criticise GTA and it's open world but saying that Unity with it's ridiculous amount of bugs is something Rocstar "can't muster" is complete BS in my opinion. If it's about a different time period just look at Red dead redemption...

[philm87]

The violence shocked me for the first time when I saw someone going around in first person taking people down with a Hatchet, just makes it seem more real and more in your face.

[bohemian 23]

It shocked you?? I mean really, really, shocked you??? I've seen games, and movies way more violent than this game, and if I had to guess, you have as well. At the end of the day, it's a game.

[philm87]

Yeah love a good gruesome film. Meant it shocked me the way it looked in the game. the controversial side is always more to do with the fact you're like a normal citizen walking down the street then can just hack someone down and run away.

[matt139]

It is so bad, in 1st person it handles like a crappy F2P shooter. Stick to 3rd person!

[Hroach616]

Played for a couple hours tonight. It's just as good as I had hoped it would be. First person is awesome. Still not sure what I prefure though. But I'm going to try and beat the whole game in FP. Seeing as I have already beaten it the standard way.

[wallis]

As far as I'm concerned it's a game. As in a piece of art or consumable media or whatever you want to call it. And art and media are often violent, and they often find new ways to immerse you in that violence. Whether it's long agonizing shots of explicit violence, or found footage, movies love making you FEEL the content they're presenting. At the end of the day it's there to provoke a response, and this is exactly what GTA V is doing. It's art as art has always been.

In terms of finer points well then it turns out that when you can see the consequences of being a dick it makes it harder to be a dick, which I'll file right under "shit I learnt a long time ago". Personally I enjoy the opportunity to be a total monster in a safe and virtual environment, and the twinges of guilt I feel when I run over a dog or watch some old lady crumple on my bonnet just help to remind me that I'm still relatively human.

[Phoenix76]

A click bait opinion piece(avoid)

[Manubiggs]

Agreed

[WitWolfy]

My only question is.. Where was this FPS option on the PS3 when I beat the game using free aim? ;)

[DoctorJones]

'First Person Mode Makes 'GTA 5' More Awesome Than Ever'

Fixed.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

"First person mode makes that entirely different. That person fills your entire field of view. He’s big enough so that you can see the expression his face."

lmao goodnight everyone.

[SilentSolid]

I would say fps mode doesn't bring anything new to the table. Especially when the field of view is so narrow even when you max it. And the inputlag is still in the game (like in the last gen version). A bit dissapointing.
