The heart of gta v. Stop and smell the roses.

After numerous complaint threads I can't help but to post my opinion. I get people may be upset and I get things were most likely taken out of the game to let other things work right and so on but this game is not horrible by any means.

 

Anyway the reason for my post is this. I feel many of the complainers are rushing this game. Sometimes it's awesome just to stop and listen. The world is so much alive. I've killed people and had the paramedics come and one of them said he had slept with the girl I killed a whole back and that she still looked good lol. Just those little things make the game awesome. I find myself walking around much more so I can here what people have to say. So for those who feel the game lacks you should take a step back and let the game world speak to you. You may pleasantly surprised by what you here.

I completely agree with you! I've never walked around so much in a gta game as much as I have in this one. I love walking around franklins house. Definitely hear and see some interesting things.

[Seriousman]

Agreed.

I'm milking the single player for all its worth and having so much fun.

Whoever doesn't like the game is a lowlife, simple. Low low just scum. People who like the game have high IQs and are superior.

I've just unlocked Michael and haven't even tried to leave the city yet. Taking it slow.

I've spent an insane amount of time just exploring, looking in every nook & cranny, listening to npc's, reading websites & just generally soaking in the smosphere. There seems to be lot of people who just don't even notice this stuff & that would certainly explain why games like COD are so popular.

 

@Magic Al

 

I know what you mean. I've logged about 50 hours so far & the top half of the map is still hidden for me. I haven't even unlocked Trevor yet.

I agree. I read every little billboard, and sign, and watch every little commercial because they're all packed with really funny sh*t.

 

 

The bottom line is that people are just getting more spoiled with respect to what they expect to be in a video game nowadays... I mean think about it... think about how absolutely mesmerized we were with GTA lll which has arguably 50 percent less of the things GTA V has to offer...

 

 

It kind of makes you wonder whether:

 

a.) GTA games are indeed getting more boring or...

 

b.) We just expect too much from GTA games now

 

 

Most likely b.

Me, playing as Michael walking on the street... clicking on the right key to interact with people.

Michael (to random pedester): Hey!
*walks a couple of meters*
Michael (to another random pedester): How you doing?
*walks a couple of meters and sees an hipster*
Michael: Great! Another f*cking hipster!
Hipster: Heyyyyyy


LOLOLO

This is what GTA is all about for me. I spent WAY more time just wandering about GTA4 after I'd completed the story than the time I'd spent on missions. The HD generation makes a huge difference because there IS all this new detail to explore and admire. I have no doubt I'll be doing a lot more wandering and exploring in this game too compared to the previous one! 50 hours or so in and only 40% completion rate, and even that I feel is rushing it, but certain things and activities only get unlocked the more you advance the story, so it's a balancing act just now...
