And now cue a 5 page argument of pure nonsense from both sides.

 

OT: Well deserved, as usual. Especially for technology.

You make a good point. Just like Call of Duty you can sell the name of the product for $60. Than you get the fools to buy it.

Wait Wait oh Wait,sad because

*It tries something different?

* or is it because it was innovative?

*or because of GTAO?

*or because for a game running on 8 years old hardwares it superb even though it doesnt have next-gen graphics?

*or because it sold 33ml copies,broke 7GWR and made $1bn in 72hrs?

*Or didnt get many awards like TLoU?

 

if it was a sad excuse for GTA it wouldnt have won BAFTA's Awards for:Best Multiplayer and Best Game Design or GDC's Best Technology...btw TLoU deserved all the GoTY Awards,GTA5 is the 15th Installment of a Legendary Franchise that have changed the game industry and earn many awards and accolades,so it unfair if it got everything plus it seems like TLoU (Naughty Dog) needs it more than GTA5 (Rockstar Games) and you can see that in the video when GTA5 won the Best Tech Award.and that was the only game that gave V a hard time in terms of GoTY Awards if not it would have being a different story.

 

Side Note:If TLoU is released for PS4 i might get it and try it but like i said before congrats to all winners,it was much deserved

it doesn't feel like gta to me in the sense that there aren't as many criminal activities and the story is scripted and missions are linear set pieces of that from a movie however i will say v has best graphics out of all gta's and what little it did was fun although online isnt that amazing and at times i feel like im playing the sims lol

This almost sums it up to me.

Just like the trailer says Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather or that thing that magic.

 

To me GTA V doesn't have that magic feel that past GTA games had and even RDR.

 

Like you said its story was too linear and felt way too scripted kinda like a hollywood movie. The lack of criminal activities or even crime on the street made the game feel like the Sims. Being in the ballas territory felt safe as long as you don't shoot or hunk your horn for too long. They should of threaten both Franklin and Trevor on site.

 

Golf is fun and something new ( Even though IV had it and VCS ). We should of had free roam heist and gang wars/drug wars. Being able to recruit with both Trevor and Franklin.

 

Casino should of been open. Why build a detail casino and race track if we can't even use it.

I was disappointed the Rockstar guys left the stage without saying more than "thank you". I really would have liked to hear from them and you rarely get to see anyone from the Rockstar team in person.
