I wouldn't worry about the game being disappointing, because I doubt it will be disappointing. I'm worried that the story will be disappointing or too short.

Yeah the story looks like sh*t honestly, how the f*ck do you do an ending with 3 playable crazy money hungry characters? If you kill one of them you will destroy the new 3 character element.

Not really. The story sounds pretty good, much different from previous GTAs. Remember the "Breaking the banks at Caligulas"? There would be more missions of that sort. To pull off a massive heist, you need to accomplish at least 4-5 "To do" missions. Since Rockstar says that there would be around 6 heists, I hope there would a variety of around 30-35 "To do" missions. And then goes the game's protagonists' own story missions(like Franklin vs Ballas, Trevor vs The Lost MC, Michael and his families).

Okay. Noone cares about your opinion. Personally, I love GTA IV, and always will.

 

Plus, it was R*'s first time experimenting with the RAGE engine in GTA.

Ok.. before you hate on this thread, I just want to say that GTA IV was by far the worst in the series. GTA IV may have influenced GTA V's development and it could very well turn out to be disappointing like IV was. Lets start by saying that IV's story was very weak and the missions were way too repetitive. For most missions, you would go from point A to point B to kill your target. All you did was kill, kill, kill unlike San Andreas' missions which were very diverse and interesting to do. The driving was very weird and you can't customize your vehicles. You also can't purchase properties and own businesses. The weapons were also lacking in IV. Rockstar took out the over the top weapons such as the chainsaw, flamethrower, minigun, etc. The graphics weren't that great. It felt blurry and the lighting was off. There also wasn't as many interiors as in past GTA games such as malls, clubs (minus TBOGT), 24/7s, ammu-nations, police stations, casinos, etc. There was almost nothing to do when you finish IV. San Andreas has so much side stuff to do such as parachuting, driving monster trucks, robbing houses, gambling in casinos, hotring racing, exploring the wilderness outside the city, turf wars, causing chaos with army vehicles such as tanks and hydras, etc. Point is, GTA IV was a major step back in the series and very disappointing. Hopefully GTA V won't go this route.

 

 

 

I'm losing hope for GTA V seeing how bad IV was. Rockstar messed Grand Theft Auto up big time with this generation. Hopefully they can get back on track with the next generation of consoles.

 

 

 

*Give me your opinion why GTA V won't suck.

 

 

 

IV was cool. San Andreas had the most stupid and idiotic storyline of them all.

[Dick Valor]

 

There was almost nothing to do when you finish IV.

- Random Character Missions

- Taxi Missions

- Drug Delivery Missions

- Vigilante Missions

- Most Wanted Missions

- Exotic Exports missions

- Races

- Car Theft Missions

- Assassination Missions

- Flying Rats

- Unique Stunt Jumps

- Multiplayer

Technically, the taxi missions weren't available after you lose the safehouse in Broker. Otherwise, good list.

 

Rampages, store robberies, and bank truck robberies are also fun pastimes in vanilla IV.

I think the first game in any series on a new platform is going to be a little weak as they are learning to develoup with all new technology. Look at GTA3 as compared to Vice City and SA. V will be great. And GTA VI Oon the new platforms will probably be looked at as weak after years of development on the ps4 and Xbox one grow. It is just the natural learning curve with technology. It applies to everything from cellphones to computers. We will be good with GTAV

GTA 5 could disappoint..

 

Such a nice list of Info and trailers have come out and you are still having the balls to say this sh*t. You don't have any reason to even think such a possibility since R* has already shown us the return of all those goody-goody stuff that was missing are back (to a large extent)

What's the motive behind you complaining and whining even after all this announcement and previews?

 

Nothing can ever satisfy the need of all such disappointed, loud, and nonsensical voices of the people who utterly still get hurt by the past and in turn ignore what's f*cking coming ahead to overcome those mistakes.

 

Fans like you are liability to a great franchise because this is as close as having the developers make feel bad about every bad release without looking the great titles that have given to use.

 

Don't you get the smallest feeling that GTA 5 is definitely an improvement over IV?

 

If not, than f*ck you man!!..

It would be a pretty tedious task though lol.

[tinman187]

you know some of us actually liked GTA IV, just cause you found it disappointing, doesn't mean we all saw the same way.

Here, here.

[justin428]

TBoGT fixed all of the problems wth IV. So V will not be disappointing.

I have played them all except TBoGT. Can you tell me what issues they fixed?

 

thanks

"GTAV could disappoint"....

 

But what does your heart tell you.....?

[Carnal894]

I know this sounds weird, but these will be the ONLY things that would let me down and bother me for quite a bit:

Arcadish driving

Poor melee like in RDR

If I cant kill animals anytime I want,like if they made the pet dogs invincible or something stupid like that. I am against this in rl, but this is GTA ffs....

 

Other than that everything else I want I know is in the game like properties, planes, customization, shooting looks badass and I like all the main characters.

Okay, I had to stop reading... But as already said IV wasn't a sequel to San Andreas, it was a sequel to III and a reboot where they started over basically from scratch. Anyone who expected something like San Andreas 2 is an idiot. While I do think a lot of reviewers over rated IV a bit it doesn't change the fact that in a lot of ways it was a significant improvement over the last generation GTAs.

 

Could V be a disappointment? Sure. It could turn out to be the biggest flop and disaster of this generation but I cannot see Rockstar allowing that to happen. They'd make their employees work 20 hour days, chained to their desks with caffeine being consumed intravenously to make sure that didn't happen! I'm sure they're all glad that they're all pretty much done or nearly so at this point.

[gta5freemode4eva]

I like GTA

[Joshua8903]

Exactly! If IV is a "sequel" to any game, it would be III. I really don't understand the hate for IV. I love that game. San Andreas was cool and fun but it's so ridiculous and unbelievable that it's hard to even try to relate to the crazy storyline. Of course I would have loved to see more customizable options in IV, like in overall appearance, etc., but for me personally, that's not what makes a game. IV is a work of art and I am so excited to see what Rockstar will do in V to build on that.

Ok.. before you hate on this thread, I just want to say that GTA IV was by far the worst in the series.

stopped reading right there. your opinion, my good sir, is invalid

*hates on thread*

[meson1]

 

Let's start by saying that IV's story was very weak

The story was GTA:IV's killer feature. It was complex, subtle and multilayered. It featured three dimensional characters that had depth. By comparison, characters from previous GTAs were one dimensional caricatures. This was made possible by the improved graphics and in particular the Image Metrics facial animations that allowed the characters to convey their emotions visually. You can expect GTA:V to continue in the same vein.

 

 

... and the missions were way too repetitive. For most missions, you would go from point A to point B to kill your target. All you did was kill, kill, kill unlike San Andreas' missions which were very diverse and interesting to do.

Here you are right. There was not quite enough variation in the missions. It's partially down to the fact that Niko was working as a hitman. TBoGT went some way to remedy the variety issue which would indicate that Rockstar have already recognised this. So we can probably expect GTA:V to have more diversity.

 

 

The driving was very weird

GTA:IV's driving has been the subject of much debate. The GTAF community is quite divided on the subject. I feel that IV's driving was very realistic and quite intuitive. It isn't without it's faults (body roll, traction control, difficult to power slide), but it does represent a vast improvement over the arcade driving of previous instalments. I hope that GTA:V will build on GTA:IV's driving by addressing it's few faults rather than take it back to being too arcade like. I think they were very close to being perfect with GTA:IV and they just need to make that last little step.

 

 

You also can't purchase properties and own businesses.

Niko's story wasn't about rags to riches or empire building. Purchasing properties and businesses would have been completely out of place.

 

 

The weapons were also lacking in IV. Rockstar took out the over the top weapons such as the chainsaw, flamethrower, minigun, etc.

Agreed. They seemed to have reserved all the most interesting weapons for the DLC episodes.

 

 

The graphics weren't that great. It felt blurry and the lighting was off.

A great many people would argue that GTA has always been less about the graphics and more about the gameplay. But I don't think they could have continued with the III era graphics. GTA:IV was a big improvement, but might have also have been a touch too ambitious. The full dynamic deferred lighting system was a bit too demanding and was technically incompatible with normal anti-aliasing techniques. They tried to mask the jaggies with a full screen blur filter, but as you have pointed out that just made it look blurry.

 

I think these problems partially stemmed from the fact that RAGE was so new and was poorly optimised. But now they have much more experience with RAGE, so I expect GTA:V to look and perform much better.

 

 

There also wasn't as many interiors as in past GTA games such as malls, clubs (minus TBOGT), 24/7s, ammu-nations, police stations, casinos, etc.

Actually, GTA:IV has far more interiors than any previous GTA game. It's just that a lot of them were tower block or apartment block interiors. I still find new ones when I go back and play GTA:IV. Still a bit more variety would not have gone amiss. I do wish they had unlocked all the mission interiors after the storyline was done, like the museum and stuff.

 

 

There was almost nothing to do when you finish IV. San Andreas has so much side stuff to do such as parachuting, driving monster trucks, robbing houses, gambling in casinos, hotring racing, exploring the wilderness outside the city, turf wars, causing chaos with army vehicles such as tanks and hydras, etc.

You do have a point here. Here's my theory on this: I think they did a big overhaul on GTA. Many of the side missions were more or less the same for three or four games running. For instance, the ambulance missions were almost exactly the same in GTA:III, VC, LCS, VCS and SA. So I think they decided to break the cycle, overhaul everything and introduce revised side activities in a manner suited to IV. However, they ended up stripping a lot of stuff out. I think they thought that the multiplayer would make up for it all. But they hadn't reckoned on there being such a strong single player following.

 

The episodes made some steps towards remedying the lack of activities and improving replayability which shows that they seem to have taken that criticism on board. I think GTA:V will be no holds barred and will be packed with more side activities than you can safely shake a stick at.

 

GTA:IV was not without it's faults and much of the criticism that is levelled at it is deserved. But nor was it calamitously bad either. GTA:IV was actually a very solid game indeed. But GTA:V ought to be much better. GTA:V already looks like Rockstar took a long hard look at all the criticism that IV attracted and seem to have actively set out to directly address every single issue. Think of IV as a necessary stepping stone to a game that on the face of it looks like is going to out-do even the great GTA:SA.

Yes V will be a big improvement over IV.

 

Over 5 years have passed since IV so things have come a long way technology wise. But I can still sit down and play IV now and enjoy it. I loved that game.

[d3ex2]

There will always be some people who are disappointed. Can't please everyone!

 

The game could be the best game in the world, people could sing songs about it, tell stories to their kids about it for generations to come, it could spark a world wide uptake in Epsilonism which could come to be the most popular religion in the world, it could increase sales of realistic steak around the world and guess what?

 

...there will still be people who hate it.

[MattInman]

It boggles my mind how people can say IV sucked. Granted, it didn't have all the features and activities I was hoping for, it was still an incredible game and I still play it to this day.

[zainzombie]

I agree that San Andreas had better missions and much more to do but graphics and physics were definitely a step up for 07.

[Miss Darko]

I find it interesting how not only is the fanbase divided on IV, but also about how to feel about V in relation to IV. Some who liked IV really love the idea of V being a mixture of that and R*'s other classes games as well as new features, and some are worried that V could be a step down due to being less serious and perhaps more 'arcadey'; some who hated IV love that V seems to be taking a very different direction, and some are concerned it will be too much like IV, the one they liked the least.

[gwaha]

I feel like the OP has already made up his mind about GTA 5 being a disappointment due to his opinion on the last installment. All I can tell the OP is to just take a wait and see approach. You may hate it or like it.

 

I do think that in general GTA 5 will be a disappointment to some and then especially for people who already think GTA 5 is fantastic. You can't really know if the game is that good without ever having played it.
