I really enjoyed being able to pick up and throw certain objects like bricks and rocks in Gta IV, and was disappointed when i knocked out my first NPC in GTAO and couldnt throw their dropped phone in the ocean afterword. Anything you guys miss from past Gta titles?

I miss being able to get enough stars on the wanted level to get the army (with a tank) to come after me.

Dude I miss my electro-fingers, crushing cars at the junkyard in exchange for power-ups like: invulnerability, invisibility, fast reload, etc. The announcer saying the name of every pickup you got. "Shotgun!" - in southern accent.

 

Inb4 "which game was that?"

I miss games being set in the past.

I miss the game of pool that was absent in GTA V.

I miss the time when games had collectibles in them.

I miss the time when it wasn't all about stupid online modes.

I miss the dark and foggy atmosphere of GTA III.

I miss the neon atmosphere from Vice City.

I miss the time when games were actually about the mob and were heavily mafia-oriented.

I also miss having properties that actually have side-missions like in Vice City.

And cool interiors like in San Andreas.

I miss NOT having the internet and actually trying stupid things myself, and failing, instead of asking Google if this or that is possible in the game.

And... I miss the fat cops from GTA IV.

Just grabbing hold of a ledge.

Even though it's a small feature I greatly miss this in GTA V. Sometimes in GTA IV I like to scale different buildings without using a helicopter, but the only way this is possible is for Niko to be able to not just grab onto ledges, but other surfaces too. It adds a great deal of versatility to GTA IV's gameplay that's lacking in GTA V's IMO.

Getting the Dodo from the airport over to the mainland, directly ahead of you was always a challenge. The tank could do it with ease though! Good times.

I don't think GTA 6 could be any worse than 5, unless it's literally GTA 5 (or TBOGT) without the huge ass map.

GTA V failed in: Story, Characters, Driving, Shooting, Multiplayer, Radio, Visual Effects (forcing hitmarkers and screen flashes), too lazy to think of more sh*t. The redeeming factor? The map. If GTA 5 was Los Santos alone, it would have been a major fail.
