We did the other thread might as well flip it around say what your favorite was lacking. V could have used more interiors and criminal side activities.

My favourite in the series is V. However i still have many complaints. I`m not one of those fanboys who wont admit one single flaw about their best game.

So the things i hate the most in V are:

-terrible gun sounds, not intense enough

-vehicle damage system

-dumb NPCs with limited vocabulary

-story has too many gaps but it would take too long to describe it so i`m going to pass this

-antagonists don`t feel terrifying enough

-Franklin, no matter how you look at it he just doesn`t fit in the story

-stealth is no stealth in this game

-no crouching- wtf?

-hunting absolutely sucks in this game, any real life hunter would laugh on V`s hunting minigame

-for such big open world game V sure feels restricted. You can`t walk fast inside interiors, you can`t draw weapons inside. The fact that you can hardly punch an NPC without geting an instant wanted level adds alot to this game`s restrictions.

-the police spawning system. I like V`s police more than any other GTA but the fact that they keep spawning infront of you is ridiculous

-stupidly unrealistic police vehicle speed boost which can easily catch you even in Adder

-helicopters respawn after 2 or 3 seconds

-the game is too scripted

-not enough crime activities

-random events should be random not scripted

-what`s the point of clothing options if protags will dress by themselves again

-why the hell can`t i choose the default vehicle for my protagonist and instead the game forces me to drive that slow sh*tty pickup in most of the missions

 

That`s pretty much all i can remember now.

I agree with everything you stated. In regards to the hunting minigame, it is indeed abysmal. I don't know why they didn't just reuse the system from RDR.

Yeah i mean first of all it is too easy to kill the animal (i hunt in real life so i know we sometimes spend 3-5 hrs in ambush before we even encounter an animal let alone shoot it.

Secondly you can kill like 10 elks in 5 minutes and you just leave them there? Oh yes i forgot aparently Cletus will later come to pick all those elk corpses. Lol, come on R* what the hell were you thinking?

 

OK in RDR you could kill an animal just as easy as in V but you could at least skin it and sell its parts which added some sense to hunting while in V it`s just plain ridiculous.

IV is my favorite, but here's what bothers me about the game:

 

- No vehicle customization

- No weapon customization

- Nothing to buy

- Not as many cars as V

- No planes

- No countryside

- No minigun and other weapons

- No god mode or never wanted cheats

- No tank (thank god for TBoGT)

- Online is hacked to sh*t (still fun though)

- Barely any character customization

- LCPD in Alderny? WTF

- Character movements and cover are outdated

- Can't jump, run or enter vehicles with phone out

- Phone goes away when taking damage

- Exclusive items from EFLC aren't in IV

GTA IV should have had more customization options, like haircuts, beards, more suits in Perseus, a new Binco clothing shop in Alderney and definitely the ability to use Brucie's Garage and the Westdyke Old Mansion to mod vehicles.

Not only that, some animals in RDR spawned only at certain times of day in certain locations (Beavers by water, for example) which added an ecosystem to it. I get that in RDR hunting was a big feature of the game and that we're lucky just to have animals at all in GTA, but to shoot one and take a PICTURE of it is beyond stupid. Almost as stupid as rabbits running into bushes and despawning.

My favorite is IV, so here we go. (I'll include some EFLC stuff too)

 

- The way you control Niko's movement feels weird, specially after playing V.

- Fingerless gloves missing in the released version.

- No countryside.

- More clothes would've been nice.

- Sticky Cover System, can't reload and change weapons while moving.

- Gun shots makes you stop looking at your phone, this annoys me while using cheats in rampages.

- Roman is nowhere to be seen in the Broker and Dukes apartments during freeroam.

- Lack of more weapons. Nightstick and hammer already have models in-game...

- Bahama Mamas is closed in TBOGT.

- TLAD's weather looks like it's always a sunset, except at night time.

- Can't hang out with Tony and Yusuf in TBOGT.

- EFLC's content, cars, weapons and interiors not added to IV.

- Karen's number is deleted from Niko's phone and she doesn't appear again in the story.

The Dedito Gae

I'll criticize my two favorite games:

 

IV

 

Alpha niko is better than in-game niko bellic.

(Most have been said by other posters)

 

Vice City

 

Tommy has his clothes scattered all over the city instead of just having them in his closet.

 

V-rock plays heavy metal, thrash metal and soft rock, i'm not crazy on the last one.

 

Car crashes are way exagerated.

 

Aiming with heavy guns sucks.

Only things I can think of that I can criticize in GTA IV:

 

-Choice between Dwayne or Playboy X

 

-Not much customization

Favourite game is SA.

Rockstar should have fixed the shoddy placement errors and the eye-watering texture stretching... And not rush SF by placing trees in the concrete.

Having a tank in GTA IV would've killed immersion.

San Andreas

Plane Handling was GARBAGE. I could fly but it didn't feel natural.

Felt so baron a lot of the time. Even downtown San Fierro could become a ghost town.

The guys behind the blackjack table f*ck you over so hard. Anytime you think you've got a hand in the bag, LOL nope dealer gets 21.

 

Having to eat sucked. I could get jacked up all the way, then be in a long missions unable to get food and I lose all that muscle.

No cover system at all. (Excuseable of course)

 

Gun sounds were terrible.

Catalina

Having to date Millie.

You could never make that jump from the caligulas to the helicopter. I've failed everytime I've done it.

 

Slot Machines are a waste of money

Story didn't make 100% sense.

 

Draw Distance was garbage (This is understandable as well)

Gang Wars were fun sometimes but, f*ckkkkk. Having to deal with when you're hood being attacked again was so annoying. It made the other parts of the map useless once you go back to LS, because right when you drive up to LV or SF your hood ends up being attacked.

Can't think of anything else.

GTA V.

 

Satire pulled out of the big book of stereotypes that is pretty much everything you've heard before but with some GTA characters thrown in. So jack howitzer comes back but tommy vercetti or even CJ don't get some kind of second cousin twice removed or maybe like a nephew or something? Strange.

 

Psychic cops who have perfect aim and star trek teleporters and apparently have biometric sensors on every citizen in los santos because sometimes running over one dude in the middle of nowhere gets them rushing right to you. Not fixed in the next gen version even though peds can still call the cops, that's just used for when you make fun of their shirt too much or standing near them. Don't know why they kept that flaw. Nostalgia?

 

Cheats that you can't use at certain times because bullsh*t and invincibility that lasts 5 minutes because too many drinking games and super jump that disables itself in safe houses and tunnels only in the next gen version because too much cocaine. Or presumably to force the will of hardcore gamers onto lame kiddy casuals like me who just want to have some f*cking fun.

 

A weather cheat that doesn't work except if you're on top of mount chiliad or higher.

 

In the new version, peyote trips that you can't replay even though they allow you to replay every other mission including the "random" stranger quests. Unless I can replay them but it doesn't work yet because I've only found one peyote plant.

 

Despite all this, rockstar managed to not f*ck up making blowing things up fun (Difficult task there, I know). And it's a nice and sunny location. And it has an insane variety of vehicles including subs. So I'm still... mostly happy with it.

IV and TLAD:

No vehicle customization, despite having lots of cars and even bikes with different variants and parts (Zombie B had lots of different parts!), and Brucie could have done the customizing

TLAD backup should have been more powerful/useful/smarter

No countryside to enjoy the driving mechanics and off-road vehicles fully

NOOSE crouchwalk 24/7 and should have been more accurate with their weapons

Little amount of cheats

 

Minor stuff.

That`s exactly the reason. I love V very much and that`s why i`m so sad because aforementioned things screwed this game a little.

If those things would`ve been better then it would be a perfect game.

 

And you don`t want to see the list of my complaints i have for other GTA games. :blink:

 

I`m quite hardcore GTA gamer spent lots of hours in each title and that`s what makes you notice every little flaw that you wouldn`t notice if you`d be a casual weekend gamer only.

I think it's much healthier to let out grievances with each game than to bottle it up and pretend they don't exist.

Also theres no barefoot option. Franklin has a pool .I'm not gonna have him swim i sneakers or boots. Same with online mode at least they have flip flops. Not to mention the lagging the freezing and the load time in online. I was hoping next gen wouldn't have these problems.

Rabbits can be ran over but it's rare bc they're so small and your actual tires have to hit them.

For the start, GTAIII:

 

1. Lack of helis and motorbikes.

2. Ability to crouch and swim.

3. Removal of Beta Textures and Darkel.

 

Liberty City Stories:

 

The only fault I can find so far is an absence of a PC Edition. The stories would be much better on PC.
