GTA 5’s Ocean Is A Whole Lot Of Unused Map

GTA 5 Cheats thinks that "some creative DLC could make use of GTA 5’s big blue."

Seems like a lot of open world games waste a ton of space on oceans. Other than coastlines there is no need for them. Look at this map for Just Cause 3, is there any reason that more than a third of the map is wasted on oceans and a Volcano Island??

JC3 has the biggest waste of sea/ocean area EVER! there is literally NOTHING in it, not even collectibles! JC2 had some collectibles in its waters but in JC3, water everywhere but nothing to do. GTAV has explorable waters and it's kinda cool

ironcrow23863007d ago

Shame its a whole map with nothing of note 😐

Gecksta3007d ago

This is a 3.5 year old game. Stop wasting my time

Kombatologist3007d ago

I think GTA5 had one of the best oceans I've seen in a game. I have a fear of deep water and I was legitimately terrified while exploring its depths. Unfortunately, it lacked wildlife. It would've been cool to see whales, dolphins, etc. More treasure would've been nice, too.

SinisterKieran3007d ago

did you only play the ps3 version?
the latest versions of the game had wildlife in the ocean. whales dolphins and i think sharks. don't remember if i saw one.

Kombatologist3007d ago

I played it on both Xbox 360 and PS4. I did an entire lap around San Andreas in the submarine, exploring much of the ocean; I remember the sharks, but I don't recall ever seeing a whale or dolphin.

Just looked at some YouTube videos and HOLY SH**! How did I miss that?!

morganfell3007d ago

Of course it has sharks. One of the trophies/achievements was getting eaten.

Personally I think TvT. One crew tries to get a cargo ship from point A to point B and the second crew uses everything from speed boats to parachutes to try and board and take over the ship. Modern day piracy.

Also mini sub battles with armed submersibles could be a blast. Yes it is an older game...that still makes money because it was made right.

chris2353007d ago

aaah, gta5... the game i stopped after a few hours because the feeling of repetition to the other gta's out there was overwhelming. such a boring game if you played gta before. but then, this game is still making a shitton of money just with their microstransactions. when i am thinking about it, human beings are deserving exactly that.

UnSelf3007d ago

Ah another person who thinks anyone cares about his inept opinion

sullynathan3007d ago

All gta games are repetitive. Gta v is less repetitive

JackBNimble3007d ago

Well Chris there are millions of people who don't share your opinion... I am curious what your game of choice is?

nowitzki20043007d ago

I love GTA5, havent spent a penny on microtransactions and theres no need to. You should mod it for PC as well, its really incredible what you can do.

UnHoly_One3007d ago

Jeez people, he didn't like it, you don't have to beat him up over it.

Why can't we all just say what we like and don't like and not have to fight about it?

I thought Witcher 3 and The Last of Us were both garbage games, how about that? Downvote me now.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos7d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto7d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba7d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz6d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u6d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?

My problem with the game is they want to install a Kernel level driver before I can even boot the game in sngle player mode I don't care about GTA online

I flat out refuse to allow any game kernal level it's a huge risk I don't need to take

It's not the only game that has done this. Ut it's absolutely shutting the dorr completely on PC gaming for me kernal level drivers are ineffective at preventing cheaters but publishers insist on continued use

Pyrofire9550d ago

My big issue is how long it takes to transition between open world and interiors in Online.
Sometimes it can take over a minute of just starring at a black screen.

badz14950d ago

Let it sleep already R*. VI is coming and this game has had 12 years in the spotlight.

It looks great, got everything running on ultra, have long shadows set to max and it's running silky smooth.

The ray tracing and lighting makes the game look amazing.

CrimsonIdol54d ago

The reflections are a noisy mess, particularly with DLSS. Shame they didn't have ray reconstruction, seems to work wonders for cyberpunk

MrDead54d ago

The reflections are like a mirror, I have no noise at all. Are you sure you have it set correctly?

CrimsonIdol54d ago

I've everything maxed out. the reflections DO have a lot of noise in them in motion. When you stop for a second to look at them they look okay but when you're driving around there's a definite blur and sparkle to them that you often get from RT. Again, exactly the same as you get in Cyberpunk without ray reconstruction but is much reduced with.

MrDead54d ago

I really don't have that, what you see here is what I have in motion even online vids have it completely clear. I'm running of a 5090 with everything set to the highest.

https://m.youtube.com/watch...

CrimsonIdol53d ago

Ah I see. Well if you have a 5090 then I'm guessing are you're probably getting quite a high frame rate (I'm guessing hitting that 120 fps max), which will make a difference too, since the RT samples in the reflections accumulate temporally. I'm on a 3080 so I'm keeping my frame rate around 60-75 at 4K, and the low sample/high noise of the RT is definitely apparent… particularly on moving cars at night time I've noticed the most (makes sense given highest contrast between light and dark) DLSS amplifies the noise too, it's the big thing that sticks out as low fidelity when the rest resolves nicely

CrimsonIdol53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Just had a chance to watch this on my 4K monitor now. Do you not see the blurriness of the reflections in relation to everything else in motion? Like it's definitely better and less noisy than it is for me at 60fps with quality DLSS but it's still pretty bad compared to how crisp the screen space/cubemap ones were when driving about. fine when you stop for a second but driving around you're rarely stopped so it's near constant muddy reflections.
