Lock n' Stock Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yeah, I will admit that GTA V clearly did not please everyone. Calling it a "failure" may be harsh though. Sure, it was overhyped by R* and somewhat overrated by critics, but there is still a somewhat positive fan reception and a good amount of broken records despite not quite living up to everyone's expectations.

Smith John Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 @General *sigh* You're really clutching at straws here bro... Did I say everyone loves the game? Nope, I said the majority do - which is supported by the endless polls on here, overall opinions on public websites, awards etc But keep using this forum and it's many, many trolls to support your arguments if it helps... ten-a-penny and DeafMetal 2 bash the fash m8s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcali1985 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have thought about it several times. The lure of DLC has kept me here. Most of my friends have moved on to COD so im making new ones in the lobbies. If the Heists DLC is disappointing, ill probably move on. Im a big COD fan. It has it flaws, but I have the benefit of playing with most of my friends. I'll probably be jumping ship either way after PS4 release, but if the Heists are fun I may keep the PS3 and GTA just to play them. Shut the f*ck up about cod, this gta forums and no one cares about that sh*t You pay £60 for recycles sh*t every year. Anyone who buys cod every year is a dumbass hahaha! Struck a nerve. I play some games because I enjoy the game. Some games I play because I enjoy playing with my friends. I don't pay £ for anything as i spend $. Grow up, you'll understand how to engage in an intelligent conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afk4ever Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) So, I'm a troll because I disagree with your selfish opinions? Also, you shouldn't be going around hating on everyone when you joined this forum only 3 weeks ago. Wrong again... been here for years... this account is only 3 weeks old. If that were true, you would know much more about this forum. I only joined last October, and even I know more than you about it. I've been here 3 years. 4 if you count the fact that I was lurking a year prior to that. So both of you are newbs. I wasn't referring to you... smartass huh? It's better than being a dumbass. What made you think I was referring to you? Selfish asshole. Edited November 8, 2013 by afk4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooves07 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) I definitely want to love the game. What has me floored by R* is they didn't seem to BUILD on any past GTA or Red Dead Redemption. It's my own fault, but I assumed you would be able to "kidnap" people (obviously no rope but with hand ties) I also figured that bounty missions would regenerate like in Red Dead, Also same with random events...they don't respawn. Again I thought they would have a list of events and have them respawn in the world over and over again. It never got old to me...at least there was something going on or to do. Raid on stronghold events they respawned as well...here the weed farm is the only thing I have found and it's a one shot. Without all this IMO Gta V feels very empty.

W3BB13 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I sold my PS3 copy. Framerate is too low. The map isn't filled with too many things to do. Overall bland. Anyone else?

Official General Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I will admit that GTA V clearly did not please everyone. Calling it a "failure" may be harsh though. Sure, it was overhyped by R* and somewhat overrated by critics, but there is still a somewhat positive fan reception and a good amount of broken records despite not quite living up to everyone's expectations. Achieving huge sales and breaking sales records does not automatically equate to the game being near perfect or living up to it's full expectations. That fact means nothing regarding much more closer critical reception of the game. Most people were always gonna buy the game first to find out how good it was. In any case, huge sales for GTA V an inevitability anyway, it was a given, since masses of fans had been waiting years for it's release.

fish61324 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) I sold my PS3 copy. Framerate is too low. The map isn't filled with too many things to do. Overall bland. Anyone else? (keep in mind that I completed the entire storyline, and that I am not saying this after an initial impression) Yes, I sold my copy as well. Mostly because online stopped working for me. My wife and I love playing co-op games, her PS3 is in the next room over... and I have not been able to get connected to anyone. So we both sold our copies GTA V and bought Borderlands 2 GOTY edition.... and we consider it the best move we've ever made, that has to do with video games. What's really awesome is that I'm a substitute teacher and my wife is a teacher (high school). Toward the end of classes (a few minutes before class ends), we talk to some of the kids about video games, and we tell them not to waster their money on GTA V. Who knows how many of their friends they talk out of buying GTA V and so on and so on. We consider it our little revenge on R*. Not that we are going to make such a big impact on GTA V sales.... but it helps a little bit.

IveGotNoValues Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Haha you just f*cked yourself over pretty good. Selling an amazing open world game like GTA V is a pretty dumb thing to do, if it were some boring linear first person shooter with no replay value it would be understandable, but GTA?

Sell your copy now, get your money back (or most of it anyway).... then buy the GOTY/Ultimate edition in the future.

Algonquin Assassin Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Although I think SA is generally overpraised and sucked off too much on this forum I still have my PS2 copy I got in 2004. I'll never willingly sell/trade in any of my GTA games even if they're not my overall favourite. Would feel like missing a puzzle piece so no I haven't got rid of my copy of GTA V and probably never will. No, but last week I cancelled my preorder. I cancelled my cancelled pre-order and then cancelled that cancelled pre-order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer Ronson Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Don't sell your copies people, there is still room for improvement. R* is bringing the Beach Bum DLC Pack that might contain some content we might like and a bunch of fixes, maybe even some good side missions/activities for the player to do.
