Kotaku:
The Grand Theft Auto series is the ultimate commentary on modern America. Greed, lust, money, and crime are wrapped together into a Las Vegas buffet of a game that is entertaining, insightful, and overwhelming in its sheer variety.
What fascinates me most is the way GTA represents the tempo of modern culture better than almost any other medium. Everything from the music playlists, the polygonal landscapes that mimic real cities, the caricatures of celebrities, and the fascinating antiheroes. Whether you take it as allegorical, symbolic, or literal, the Grand Theft Auto series is the modern epic.
GTA IV still remains my favorite because of the story and Niko, who is my favorite character in the whole canon. He embodies and represents the American dream, twisted underbelly and all.
A Former Rockstar dev has revealed that they were making a GTA 5 DLC, but it was scrapped since GTA Online was such a "cash cow," though it wasn't a total waste as parts of it made its way to GTA Online.
What a damn shame. Sinfmgle player dlc could've been so dope but nope fk you single player guys.
Perfect reason why I'm against single player games having multiplayer attached. Eat up more resources
Honestly sucks they couldnt do something for SP dlc. It wouldnt hurt their bottom line at all to do.
GTA 5's story mode deserves more attention.
Sure the story mode which got a 97 metacritic isn't as bad as people think. Stupid ass article.
I think I did not see even one thought out piece by this site named tech4gamers yet. Nope..no approvals for this nonsense from me.
The only bad about it is that there isn't any more! Cancelled story dlc to make online stuff... But hopefully gta 6 will be a great adventure again.
A major story DLC for GTA V was canceled as a result of its online component, GTA Online, becoming a "cash cow", based on the latest report.
GTA 4 had stellar extra content. Kind of annoys me they really only pay mind to online elements with their games anymore. They have the money and manpower to offer both to players.
Yeah, they didn't make enough money to make a story DLC...CEO's had to get those bonuses...
Absolutely . GTA V's story was a total mess compared to oscar worthy GTA IV's story !
Nah,GTAIV's story needed dlc to make it less vanilla.
GTAV has that variety.
Defenetly agree with that...gta4 story was way better than gta5 story and the shooting was way better to
The overall game was better IMO, i played GTA 4 right up to 5 where i was massively let down tbh.
Gta 4's story and the game were both rubbish to be honest.
Everything cool they did in the prevous gta games was stripped out on gta4. A very bland city and protagionist.
Gta: San Andreas story is better than both 4 and 5.
Vice city and San andreas > gta 4.
