Every Rockstar game after GTA IV disappointed me up until Red Dead Redemption 2. Max Payne 3 had some dope moments that I can appreciate now in retrospect, but yeah couldn't stand the story when it first came out. I'd say GTA V was the worst offender though - a technological masterpiece but the amount of sh*t writing and cut features makes me sad to this day. It's grown on me over the years but never felt so disappointed in my life as I did launch night.

Even rdr1?

San Andreas.

 

I liked the simple approach of GTA III and Vice City, but I remember even back in 2004 being underwhelmed by San Andreas despite its bigger map, more features etc. Some people probably think I don't like San Andreas out of spite or something, but truthfully I've never really liked it very much.

 

Compared to GTA IV it's a joke of a game IMO. but even compared to GTA III and Vice City it felt like a step backwards. I was disappointed that was the direction the series was heading and the two games that followed didn't do much to inspire me either only that GTA IV course corrected things I may have stopped being a GTA fan altogether.

 

I realise I may be in a very small minority, but I don't f*cking care to be honest.

 

Wow. I was quite the c*nt bag towards San Andreas. My apologies.

 

Anyway GTAO and RDO really disappointed me. I loved the multiplayer components of GTA IV and RDR1 and assumed these would follow suit.

 

GTAO was good up until the heists update, but then it became a cluster f*ckery. With RDO I played it for a couple of hours and haven’t touched it since.

 

I wish the simple approach to multiplayer would come back, but in the world we live in where microtransactions rule the roost that’s not going to happen.

Once again, Max Payne 3. Like, seriously - why create a game, if you want to completely abandon everything that was good about two games before?

 

Knock off, Rockstar.

Same that's how I prefer my multiplayer vibing with friends doing random sh*t and missions but I remember enjoying the early GTA online missions and I am sure that some people enjoyed some stuff that I didn't enjoy the online (if it's the flying bikes then I don't care this is GTA, not Saints Row)

There must be a way to balance things it's kinda hard especially that the two multiplayer games are different and appeals to different people, anyway I think I have heard that GTA 4 multiplayer got revived so I might check it when I have free time and forget about this torture session called GTA Online
