AzelfandQuilava Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I don't hate GTA V's story... well, not entirely at-least. It just doesn't appear to be properly finished, the antagonists par Haines were underdeveloped, Franklin's opportunity in the story is seemly forgotten when Trevor hits the scene and the endings feel so rushed. lastmanonearth and The Dedito Gae 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperar Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Good thing that there are many other things to do then just the story. I see you`ve just joined the forums, so I don`t blame you if you`re too young to have played GTA San Andreas, but do yourself a favor for the love of Lord God Jesus Christ almighty and play SA, THEN tell me that there`s plenty of stuff to do in V! SA was unplayable back in the days it was released. Is the first game i saw where the graphics, sound effects and everything was worse than the previous game (VC), i loved VC, played it for years, SA on the other hand, can't even stand playing 10 minutes. From time to time, i read those magnificent things people tell about SA (that are not really there), download it again, give it a try, uninstall it few minutes later. I agree, V's story was the worst in the series. Why do some people like to exaggerate so much? I don`t understand why go so far to say that V`s story is the worst in the series? I mean it`s not exactly perfect but it`s still miles ahead from SA`s, LCS`s, VCS`s, TBOGT`s and III`s story. Well, you're not quoting the sharpest user of the forum...

Thanks in advance.Nah, I respect your opinion. But saying "It's the first game I saw in which graphics and everything was worse than the previous game" is like saying IV has better graphics than V. Which isn't true. And how did you say "All the magnificent stuff I read about SA(which actually aren't in the game)". I'm curious as to what these things are. According to you people are creating imaginary features which don't exist in the game. This is what made you sound like a troll/hater.

The Dedito Gae Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Franklin was so absent, they could have easily changed him with the online character and nothing would be different. Misunderstood, Otselot and Vice City criminal 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGTAking101 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I actually liked the story to an extent. It was something we've never seen before. Before Trevor came to LS, the story was f*cking amazing. The main downsides for me is there isn't enough buildup to the characters and events. A few Examples: Michael and Franklin met too quickly. F should've had more missions for Simeon and in the hood. Trevor should've had more missions in the desert before coming to LS. The antagonists, oh my... First of all, Franklin should've had more missions in the hood with more appearances of Stretch and he should've been killed halfway through the game. Trevor needed more missions in the desert with the Chinese, and Cheng should've kept Michael in North Yankton instead of bringing him back to LS, and Franklin could've saved him and killed Wei right there. After The Wrap Up, Haines should've sent an agent to kill Trevor or something, at least do something more threatening. If each character had 50 or so missions, the story would've been MUCH better, cause right now my main issue is that everything moves too fast and there are a lot of plotholes. I still think IV had the best story in the series by far, but this isn't as bad as some people might say it is. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I also really liked the stories of SA and TBoGT.

And care to list those 'magnificent things that aren't really there'? Admittedly, VC had better graphics than SA on the PS2 in many areas, but that was clearly because VC had a much smaller map and less content than SA. Therefore, Rockstar could afford to pay more close attention to detail in VC's graphics. SA's huge map size and tons of content meant something had to be compromised, and to some extent it was it's graphics - although SA's graphics were still very good for what it was, considering how huge the game was and the fact that it had tons of stuff to see and do. However, SA was more technically advanced and better than VC overall. there is no questioning that. Before Trevor came to LS, the story was f*cking amazing. The main downsides for me is there isn't enough buildup to the characters and events. I still think IV had the best story in the series by far, but this isn't as bad as some people might say it is. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I also really liked the stories of SA and TBoGT. Yep, I totally agree. V's story was much better before Trevor came on the scene. Even Trevor's early missions with the Mexican drug traffickers and Triads was entertaining enough, but once Trevor met Michael, it all just went downhill from there. For gaming standards in general, V's story is good, but for GTA standards it's quite disappointing - that's the real problem people have.

And also with @TheGTAking101. V`s story was good untill friends reunited mission. Then it went to sh*t. And the way Franklin and Michael met and became friends didn`t make alot of sense neither. Not to mention T-M reuniting. Trevor found out Michael played him and Brad and backstabbed them in the worst possible way. He found that not long before he came to LS when Wade found him in a phone book (?) lol, that`s some secret undercover life if every mentally challenged retard can find you in a phone directory.. He found out what Michael did to him and that he`s alive and rich and what did he do? He went saving Tracey before she made an ass of herself on a national TV. WTF! I mean really Rockstar? Why the f*ck would Trevor give two sh*ts about that stupid slut Tracey in a situation like that? He wouldn`t, not in real life. But in GTA V anything is possible. The storyline after this mission doesn`t have much common sense. Official General and Misunderstood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAL Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I would rate GTA V's story at around 4/10. It was poorly executed and there was no clear cut antagonist. AtomicPunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicPunk Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The story is...meh. Storyline has been told many times before.Nothing new under the sun here. The characters are boring,even Trevor. Trevor was interesting in the beginning but gets repetitive when the story goes on.Franklin and Michael never got interesting in the story. I agree. 6.8/10 The only thing I liked was when Trevor showed a junkie loser the bottom of his boot. Other than that V is pretty meh The mucis sucks. No vehicle damage. Ped AI is bad and none of them are funny like previous GTA's. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlitoDorito Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I really liked the story, then again I really liked the Mario bros movie when I was a child so obviously I have no taste. It's an action movie story, a good one in my opinion. Calling it a Michael Bay thing is probably the most disrespectful anyone can be towards the game. There's no Megan Fox trying to act, action so fast it's hard to tell what's going on, attempts at comedy, explosions every 4 minutes or a cameo from the director. Try it again, it may change your opinion. Sometimes the 1st time, after reading all the story is horrible posts, going into it with ideas of how it is already, stops you appreciating anything at all. Or frisbee the disc out a window/remove your hard drive and burn it. A more extreme thing is the lobotomise yourself, then you forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I feel like a bit of wide-range free roaming, I may play V every now and then at very rare intervals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
