V doesn't feel like a proper GTA.

Things didn't turn out good for V in the end, did it?

Yes, GTA V is by far the worst game in the entire franchise.

Seriously? You haven't played GTA 1 or GTA 2 on the GBC or GTA Advance??

 

Right now I could see you saying that E.T for the Atari 2600, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties or any other terrible games are better than GTAV or that GTA IV on lowest graphic settings in f*cking 1x1 resolution is better than V on ultra 4k.

In some ways, I still consider GTA V to be a GTA game. But it's true, Michael and Trevor are already set, Franklin is the only one that has to get himself to the top and make that money. Sure there's a few activities missing, but that doesn't stop it being from what GTA V is. Can you still kill people? Yes. Can you f*ck hookers and kill them to get your money back? Yes. Is there cheat codes? Yes. Is there replay value? It depends. Either way, GTA V still has the traditional elements from the past GTA games. There's even first person now, making it feel like you're doing all those things. Sure the story isn't all that great, but there's still a few dark moments.

 

Overall, GTA V is still GTA.

...with reviewers ready to give it a 10/10 before reviewing the damn thing...

Sole reason why stopped taking gaming articles and reviews seriously. Giving 10/10's out like they're candy. It's pathetic.For their quick playthroughs of the game I'd expect them to give it a 9/10 at the most. I can't ever see GTA V being a 10/10 I just can't. Same with IV. They're faaaaarrrrrrr from perfect.

Believe me, countless of people have felt like this since the release day in 2013.

 

Exactly. I was just gonna reply and say something similar to this.

 

It's exactly true in my case. V is a good GAME. Not a good GTA game. Something coming from Rockstar with "GTA" slapped on the title should be "better" than what V has become.

 

Currently playing with the Save Editor and making some indestructible vehicles and such. The Editor in my case is the only way to get life back to the game.

the prologue where your massacaring dozens of cops made me feel like the characters are superheroes rather than petty criminals

in gta 4 when you meet the rasta (cant believe i forgot his name) and you have to kill those 3-4 guys during drug deal seemed way more engrossing and intense imo

Yes, those reviews shouldn´t be taken too serious. I remember a review about IV on the website of a known german news magazine. The journalist admitted that he didn´t go to deep playing the game because it´s too time-consuming, he´s got a family, bla bla bla. Then he bored the readers with his feelings of guilt because he quite enjoyed such a violent game, bla bla bla again.The review was full of crap like that, at least there were a few lines left to say: oh, by the way, it´s a pretty good game.

 

It´s an extreme sample, but I doubt that most of the reviewers have the time to go deep playing the game because they have to deliver their review fast, especially when it comes to GTA games. They´re time-consuming if you want to experience them properly.

In SP it's the lack of the traditional import/exports that I miss the most. Franklin's tow truck missions don't cut it for me.

 

I've only played online a couple of times and really have no desire to do so again. Maybe if I had friends that played to do some coop missions with, but being stalked and hunted from the moment I log on doesn't appeal to me in the least. I could give a rats ass about GTA 5 online.

 

In previous incarnations of the game, I'd actually put off the export missions as long as possible as a form of carrot dangling - "your reward for X will be stealing 3 cars for export." For one thing, the export missions motivated test driving cars that I generally wouldn't grab otherwise. Plus the title of the franchise is "Grand Theft Auto" and while stealing cars for Devon was OK, it neither had the scope (30 cars for Stevie in IV?) nor reward I've come to expect from the series. Getting stiffed by Devon on those cars was probably the most insulting player rip-off of the game for me.

 

Outside of feeling like there's some missed opportunities for player enjoyment in dropping some of the missions many of us have come to expect, I don't think V feels like it's anything other than a Grand Theft Auto game.

MP -> Invite only will do it, it adds what's missing from SP and you can roll play whatever you want.

It still feels like a proper GTA game, although it lacks the scope and spectrum of previous installments.

GTA 1 and 2 were badass, although I never played them on Game Boy, didn't even know they came out for the Game Boy. Edited by Cutter De Blanc

I'd say that V feels like a GTA game because all GTA games are different, as they generally fall into different crime types. Example: GTA Vice City was centered around drugs & controlling the city a la the mafia. GTA III was centered around being a contracted 'hitman'/ criminal for hire. GTA V was centered around elaborate heists. I guess it feels different from the others because it is a lot more 'glamorous', very far from the gritty feel to III, VC, to an extent SA and IV.

Looool you just gotta laugh. This is classical RDF anger potion. These anti-V threads keep coming, and the criticisms of this letdown of a game just don't stop. And the worst thing it's coming from a new OP each time. It certainly blows the theory out of the water that those who disliked IV before now like IV and dislike V. This is too funny lool !

 

Awaiting the arrival of the usual suspects from the RDF To form a garrison lol. Oh wait.....theyve already turned up, rapid response team I see!

That's why in GTA V vs. GTA IV articles, GTA V has the majority votes. Even within these forums, I found locked polls between both games and GTA V won all of them. But you're so much of a fanboy, that you choose to disreguard the evidence.

If you're talking about IV you are wrong on all counts. IV is not favourite GTA it comes at third for Me.

What's above me right now is about to turn into another GTA IV vs GTA V thread. Which fanboy will win?

 

To add to the topic, GTA V still has that proper GTA feel. I think the only thing missing is that there's not enough activities.

They need to take place in the GTA Series section. For example, go to the Best Protagonist Thread, and you'll see that Niko is winning the poll. That thread isn't in the GTA IV section or the GTA V section either.

Freeroaming and just mucking about...yeah it feels like a traditional GTA game. I do wish there were more Maude missions that were the equivalent of vigilante missions. For being such a large map there should be some more activities, but the art/map departments did an excellent job.

 

Where it falls down is in the story. As noted above, doing car missions for Devon and getting squat for it was pretty dumb move. Simeon should have had a bigger role, much like in Online. Madrasso should have been the big bad rather than the FIB/IAA bs that we got.

 

So good game, bad storyline. But it is GTA.

I was using that as an example of a way to introduce a car theft system in a game called GRAND THEFT AUTO. Agreed that his texts are annoying, but I would like some Brucie-like car missions. If you don't like Simeon, fine, but there should be a car stealing mini-game/activity.

German Gaming Magazines aswell as the American/English are bought by Publishers anyway and do a lot of click-bait since they are a dieng medium.

Oh and before people come with their conspiracy theories... GTA V didn't realy bought the Magazines. They just give the game a good rating so they dont get flamed by the entire Mass of the fanbase...I mean the YouTube Channel of Rockstar Games has more subscribers than GameSpot, and even IGN with 6 million has lost on view count lately.

They cannot even hold up to Rockstar...a publisher...of only 6 major AAA Games.

Isnt stealing cars for the weird Epsilon guys enough...

These cars made me not want to progress anymore through the Epsilon missions...these "missions" are just boring and I honestly prefer Yoga and hunting over ihem...

No Vigilante, are you f*cking kidding me? This was a HUGE factor in making GTA feel like a crime game.

Nah nah nah Gta 6

GTA V DID NOT INCLUDE X FEATURE THEREFORE IT IS NOT A CRIME GAME WAAA.

 

Just because the game has Tennis, Golf and other non criminal activities doesn't the whole f*cking game isn't a GTA.

And the worst thing it's coming from a new OP each time.

 

yeah, very interesting, that :p

 

interesting how the first thought someone, who obviously isn't a series fan for playing it so late, somehow has the natural reaction to find a niche fan forum and create a new account to voice their passionate concerns on whether a game does a series justice or not :D
