How Did Grand Theft Auto V Become So Successful?

GTAVI may not be as successful

annoyedgamer2520d ago

There is something about the world Rockstar made that drew me in with GTA4. Even today..6 years later, I still get visions of it.

chrisx2520d ago

I'm glad I'm not alone. There's just something abt GTA4 in particular

annoyedgamer2519d ago

The ding sound of a new objective and the way the objects in the distance had a chaser effect that was almost photo-realistic,

EgoDogg2519d ago

I feel the same way. Always thought it might be a nostalgia factor, but there was something about that world that resonates more with me than GTA V... or any of them for that matter

bloop2519d ago

I have to say I think GTA IV got a lot of unwarranted hate, but I don't think it shits on V. GTA IV was a great game, but V was phenomenal.

ClayRules20122519d ago

I agree. I was surprised by the hate GTAIV received, GTAIV was pretty wonderful when it released. Wonderful world, and great story/characters. GTAV was on another level, compared to 4. Truly stunning, visually, along with truly fantastic characters, and an even more remarkable world!

GTA4 DLC is better than 5..... The regular story just had you running around New York doing fetch quests for a catalog of racial stereotypes.

I would respond, but first I need to take Roman bowling.

ClayRules20122519d ago

LOL, I enjoyed taking Roman bowling!

GTA5 is one of the all time great games and half of the reasons why are the great songs and the PC killing comedy.

ClayRules20122519d ago

I believe Rockstar's Love, Passion, and Respect for video games as an art form is the reason GTAV has been so successful.

They took a risk having 3 playable characters for the SP. That risk totally payed off "in my opinion" while I didn't care for Franklin, Michael & Trevor were such well written characters brought to life with such fantastic performances. Along with the side characters, who were equally as interesting & entertaining.

On top of that, Rockstar crafted a remarkable living, breathing open world, with wildlife, and pedestrians who went about their daily lives. The world of GTAV is absolutely gorgeous ( still to this day ) and for Rockstar to have achieved that kind of visual fidelity on PS3 is astonishing. Their attention to detail is awe inspiring!

The Multiplayer in the game, when I played it back in 2013, on PS3 ran extremely well. My friends & I had a wonderful time doing missions together & just messing around.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing691d 14h ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos1d 13h ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy851d 12h ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius1d 2h ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
