zuckmeslow Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 GTA V was released in late 2013. that was over a year ago. most people i have spoken to have said grand theft auto v is boring now, the single player is short and there is an obvious focus on the multiplayer. I personally find GTA V to be a stale game now, the single player had dried up and the multiplayer is repetitive. i feel like this game has not kept me as kept me occupied long enough like the exhilarating experience of GTA 4 and San Andreas. people might say that this game is going to be kept alive by the dlc, but we dont even have heists yet. how can you anticipate the dlc of a game that has been promising us heists since 2013? the single player portion of this game is dead, rockstar keeps trying to inject more juice into gta online in the form of new updates but you can only put so much into an existing game. as of right now in my opinion i will not be playing gta v for the same amount of time i spent on san andreas, gta 4 and red dead redemption. i dont know what it is, if its the online sucking the life out of single player, the writing of the game or the physics but i dont see this game surviving too long. sure gta online might be held afloat but the actual game of Grand Theft Auto V is getting bland and i dont see myself playing it anymore by springtime. how long do you see yourself enjoying gta v and do you think it will not last as long as the previous games.

TheTechPoTaToCHIP Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 If you compare it objectively to past GTA games, GTA V has more content than most of them. I think it's just the fact that gamers are getting older and having shorter attention spans than they did back when VC and SA were released. GTA V only has 69 story missions but those missions are longer so it's actual length is in between SA and IV. It has more replay value since it offers more choices than any other GTA game. It has bigger side missions, the strangers and freaks missions could be counted as story fat that they decided to turn into side missions. (Basically, the filler missions from SA but they decided to make them optional) 4-6 sets of collectibles. Random encounters like in RDR. More customization than any other GTA game in the past. An option between 3 uniquely different protagonists. If you look at it objectively, without bias, without nostalgia goggles, most people would call GTA V the best out of the series. But no, most fans don't seem to like it, most fans say it's the worse in the series. But who is calling it that? That's right, the people who have stuck with the series since the early days. Let's be honest and say most of you were late childhood - early teens when VC or SA came out. So of course you loved those past games, they blew you away with their freedom and openness. But as you got older, you have less time, less imagination and just expect the same magic to carry over to the newer installments but it doesn't. That's because you don't see it through rose tinted glasses anymore, you lost that imagination or "child like" wonder you had when you played the earlier installments. That and the added commercialization of gaming, the over-saturated market filled with money grubbing whores. GTA didn't change, you did. the players did. gaming did. I know this is an overblown speech that probably sounds like bullsh*t to most of you, but that's how I see it. I played GTA SA when I was a child and it felt like magic, now that I'm older, I played GTA V. I saw it had everything SA had and more but for some reason, it didn't feel the same.

Fuzzknuckles Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I've sunk a lot of time into V, nearly 600 hours (So lame.) I've played it pretty consistently, but obviously other games have come out and I've played those, which has made it easier to get back into V when I'm waiting for something new to come out. I've still got loads of stuff to do on the PS4 to get 100% again, and I've hardly even touched the new stuff that was added in, so each time I play I have something to do. And yet I still find myself wandering about doing nothing and still enjoying it. If you don't smash through everything in a couple of days and exhaust yourself, you get a lot more replay value - play it often but only for a little while and it stretches out - there's tons to do, do it slowly and take it all in. DLC will come and it'll be worth the wait, I'm sure. While some are disappointed with the lack of inclusion of certain things, no one can honestly say this is a sh*t game, and when that DLC comes everyone's interest will be renewed. They're taking their time to get it right. And in that time, hopefully, people have been playing other games and not forcing themselves to play V just because it's GTA and they can't play anything else (hint, there's other GTAs to play, as well!)

rjmthe2nd Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I Stopped liking GTA V as soon as I beat the story mode..the game felt so stale and it IS...I played IV more then V And trust me I hated IV so much....F*ck LC but seriously V had the right place but a small map (IMO) not memorable missions or even characters except for MFT,Lamar and that's about it. BUT GTA V would be less stale IF: Zombie Story mode (UNDEAD NIGHTMARE STYLED, With Zombie survival mode added as a different type of mission list for online...) Gang War missions from Lamar, for franklin (the ability to claim turf online...) Online Spray painting (your crew logo on certain walls in the City even cars) Stun Gun Online (really should've been in) Vigilante & Paramedic missions (should give you outfits from them also) ONE CANONICAL ENDING (They pretty much f**ked M And T from popping up in any other GTA.)

Nuke. Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 GTA V is still extremely fun for me. Ignoring multiplayer all together, I still have very much fun playing GTAV, even after exploring the whole map and completing the game 100% twice already. The game world is beautiful. I love activating the rain cheat on PS4 and just driving around listening to Los Santos Rock Radio. I also love going underwater. I actually haven't explored much of the ocean and it looks great on new consoles. Another thing I like to do is go hiking on the Mt Chiliad and Gordo. I still find killing cops and having gang shootouts fun too. I think GTA will last longer than any other GTA game has, and I think it will hold me over until story DLC. Maybe even the next GTA title.

Lots and lots of little bits of content that you have to pay for. Whereas in the first year of GTA V, we got near monthly updates for online, which included extra vehicles, weapons and items in single player.

VolkXue Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Having to pay for can be debatable.. We know R* has made a good profit on sharkcards and we know the only thing people using shark cards for DLC. We also know that the majority of players wont buy everything in the DLC's just what they can afford. To me a real free DLC would be like it is in SP lol That said one of the only reasons I bought next gen was I thought I would be able to log in for an hour or two every month to check out DLC... That has yet to happen..

Ixnay Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I've had the game almost since it came out; got tired of it quickly, set it aside for a long time, and finally went back to it a month or two ago. I like it a lot more now but I agree that overall it seems to be lacking. On my weekends I have marathon sessions. I drink beer, listen to music, and play until the wee hours, but after about four hours I find myself taking it out and putting in IV, which I find much more immersive. More interesting characters and missions, in my opinion. In V it's like you don't really get to know anybody or why they are the way they are - they just show up and do what they do. Exaggerating slightly but not much. Sure, with V, you plan heists and have to get the supplies/vehicles, etc., but too often these simply feel like "checking the boxes." Everything is just too superficial. I'm sure it'll be around for a while though, with a few drops of dlc here and there, but it definitely feels like too much energy being put into online at the expense of the base game.

Modojo Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 GTA Online has the potential to stay strong if they keep adding more content. There are a lot of ideas being discussed on these forums and R* is probably taking some ideas into consideration for each year. SP DLC is also another thing to look out for. More stories in LS would be nice but I feel like the DLC should take place in an entirely new location for a change. Instead of having to start off in Los Santos and Blaine County, maybe we could get a chance to visit Las Venturas (aka Las Vegas) because the casinos are obviously a good place for more heists and exploration. If they actually did this, then I believe Franklin should be the protagonist of this DLC. Michael and Trevor's story are complete but Franklin still has more room for development. By starting out as a former OG and now looking to venture off into a new world, Franklin sets his eyes on the city of Las Venturas and plans his own heists with new characters and discover more activities.

GTAguy100 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 It's still a pretty damn good game to me and I've had it since day one when it came out. I still enjoy it a lot and got it for my PS4, I play online everyday or every other day. I think many people don't play online much and if they do play online, they only complain about lack of heists all the time and they haven't even done all the missions, races, DM and content available to do. If I find a good group of people to play with, we do loads of missions and races and parachuting for hours. And even then it's still great interacting with other players. Wish they would fix the servers though, because those loading times after missions when you have to wait like 3 - 4 mins can be a pain.

Fuzzknuckles Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The irony of people getting bored of V quickly, but never getting bored of telling people about the faults of the game, is just too much.

Just because YOU don't, doesn't mean it's invalid and worthless. We should have had DLC? Well, possibly - and I'm sure they could have released a buggy hunkajunk that nobody could play, but would you honestly want that? You say that they focused on Online - which perhaps they did, but do you not think that, while the Online team works on Online, the SP team could, possibly, just maybe, be working on a bit of SP DLC? THINK MAN, THINK. There were TWO TEAMS for V. One working on Online, one working on V. We know this to be fact. So while one team are working hard to create a revolutionary online experience, the other are working to make an SP DLC for impatient, selfish, ungrateful f*cks like you.
