opinions
>>738980803Not that bad of a game, but online focus made it retroactively shit.
>>738980803Safest Rockstar game by far. Mechanically unchallenging, thematically lacking, artistically uninspiring. Perfect product to sell 200 million copies out of. Online radio stations being added to single player is the best thing that happened to it because for all its faults, the radio stations from Online were more interesting than what came before it.
Would've been more interesting if you played as Jimmy instead of Michael. Making you play a wigger would've been funnier, at least
>>738980803decently entertaining story but very heavily railroaded and handholdy >drive place using built in gps >lock on and press shoot button >repeat
>>738980803dogshit how is this made by the same people who did 4?
>>738980803One of the most influential games of all time. Funny and good. However, it became the harbinger of "Games-as-a-service", a very maligned tendency in gaming to this date and for the foreseeable future.
>>738981487There's no real built-in GPS, even. GTAIV mogs it.
3 characters stretches the story too thin, maybe GTA 6 will do a better job with only 2 characters that are together a lot on missions.
>driving/flying open world game with no interesting places to go>+ the radio suckswhy bother
>>738980803The on the fly character switching blew my mind the first time, but then I realized how restrictive R* are about it when the novelty wore off. They are just better off making movies. I dont know why they even bother in this industry when they obviously dont like the idea of the player going off script.
>>738980803Boring port of a PS3 game I already played.
>>738983536ya this was my biggest critique, it seems VI will put more depth on the story and characters, having a romantic tone and all.V characters are forgettable, we dont really get to know them too well, surface level.
>>738980803Ok, but like >>738980884 said online rape the story mode
PC version is the best
>>738980803Only thing I liked is the return of car customization. I don't like Los Santos (it's not terrible I just don't think it's very interesting) and I fucking hate most of the characters.
bump
>>738980803The Skyrim of Rockstar
so y
>>738980803Gets boring after the story
>>738983823The online had no effect on the story there's no way Rockstar could have known it would be so huge after GTA 4. It would be the exact same story if it had no online at all.
>>738986525>It would be the exact same story if it had no online at all.Wheres my single player DLC with Agent Trevor and the Liberty City expansion? Zombie/Alien themed single player DLC that had been hinted on from the start? Character pack dlc's for Michael and Franklin that had been scrapped and had their assets repurposed for shitty online events?The main story and characters would have been flushed out way more without Online. Just like the Diamond storyline in GTAIV. If they had scrapped the episodes, you'd known way less about the main events and characters in the story.But that's being said, I cant wait to experience Gta VI after it gets a 20 dollar sale a couple years from now.
>>738980803stale water
>>738980803>Pretty graphics>has a large map>lots of minigames and activities>a stock market that changes based on game events>the sniper missions are always fun>controlling three characters were interesting but a bit disjointed and makes the story lose focus>satire and humor is still technically there but it's the "safest" it ever was in rockstar history, making it bland>gunplay is still as good as it wasThe online mode opened a pandora's box for the devs to halt all game development and focus on the retarded people wasting exorbitant amount of money on a single online server.The game is very solid, but has much less of an edge (as in, point to show, not as in edgy but also applicable).A passable-to-good experience and a bane of the industry all in one package.
>>738988116The DLC for IV sold badly for the amount of time it took to make them that's a major reason it didn't get any for the single player.
>>738980803- it's an okay game overall- tried too hard to be funny compared to the previous games- found Trevor really annoying- very uninteresting map
>iv was set in the current day for when it released>unintentionally became a period piece>v was also set in the current day for when it released>13 years later and it still feels obnoxiously current day
>>738988767It's such a shame that VI also has a present day setting. 13 years have passed, but the world hasn't changed that much. It's still about people being high on social media.Having another 80s Vice City game might've been unimaginative, but maybe if it was set in the 70s/90s/early 00s it would've been more interesting.
>>738988767GTA 6 is somewhat of a time capsule itself already because of the long dev cycle, many buildings it has in its world have been demolished in 2026 Florida.https://en.as.com/meristation/news/the-unusual-problem-with-gta-6-after-so-many-years-of-development-buildings-demolished-before-launch-f202605-n/
>>738980803Why did Dan Houser do it?
>>738988908I'm expecting to hear low brow shit on the radio like>AI big data company under fire for requesting users send in semen samples for data collection>world's richest man Alan Smell buys bleeter and renames it Y>something something data centres use up an entire towns water supply, hundreds die of thirstEct, ect.
Which GTA game has the best drive around and chill?
>>738980803The worst open world map Rockstar has ever made.
>>738989767For me it's VC just because those radios stations basically formed a massive part of my music taste.SA is close behind because I like cruising around on the highways crossing into the different areas of the map.
>>738989171Antisemitism
>>738980803utterly mogs IV in every aspect too bad the online turned out to be a grindy mmo
>>738989285all that stuff is pretty gta i think (except for the 1:1 elon parody). gta has always been low brow
>>738980803Same as all the other GTAs. The only fun parts are driving and piloting vehicles, everything else is worthless.
>>738980803I never finished it lol
Is GTA Online worth playing today? I beat the single player of GTA V a long time ago but I barely touched the online
>>738989767iv
>>738980803fun to drive around
>>738991373>The only fun parts are driving and piloting vehiclesGiven that is over half of the game that isn't so bad
>>738991529I recently replayed it after not touching V since the 360. Decided to go online after single player.Got repeatedly blown up by some level gorilion players flying around on a missile spamming bike.
>>73898080360% of the map is pointless in story mode. It was extremely irritating to switch to Trevor in bumfuck nowhere. As other anons said the story was hurt by the characters being split as three main characters. Only michael felt like an actual character, Franklin was boring, Trevor was too on the nose of just embodying how people play as a character. I feel like they should have just done chapters instead of "this happened with Michael, then this happened to franklin" have overlapping segments of time but what that character was doing at that moment. Gta 6 being a Bonnie and Clyde story will fix the issue of having too many people vying for protag.
