Also all of the "realism" shit in 4 was a mega turn off. There was so much sims type bullshit in that game. Oh go to the internet cafe so you can log into facebook and go on dates. Go bowling with your cousins despite Nico being a grimdark PTSD type character.

Like what? I love minigames as much as anyone but it was such a jarring experience to the rest of the game. Removing the fun of driving from GTA just made me put it down for good.
I expected more arcadey driving though. Every vehicles feels like various agility boats. I dunno. I wanted to feel like a borderline mafia superhero that was a driving savant. So I expected forging driving.

Blah. I gave up on GTA4. I loved the story but frankly hated the gameplay. My memory is VC and SA which I remember being ridiculous. Stopped about the time you hit the faggots quests and about the time you gotta pick someone to kill in the Irish family.

I was probably down to 30% left to do in the story. In reality, my complaints have no great basis if the mission failed for dying. But if it failed for someone escaping I got tired or repeating the whole bullshit. And the cover system got finicky some.

Some sports cars might be a bit better but in general its shit.

GTA 5 controls also feel extremely outdated. Aiming on a controller is hell compared to mouse / kb, and even that sucks.

CS 1.6 aim would improve both games significantly.

San Andreas was my favorite GTA. Just the right mix of campy, arcady gameplay and fun. The moment I knew I loved it was that mission where you hijack a jet mid flight from a Cessna. Then fly to Liberty City to ace some guidos and return.

It was so absurd it stunned me. I loved it.

And, as much as GTA 4 has a great story, this is what I missed. I did at least watch the cutscenes of both endings.

I think the only ones I beat were Vice City and 5. San Andreas and 4 just kind of petered out for me. I can't even recall playing 3.

The only one I played was 3, I think. That was around 2003 so about 23 years ago. Mayge it was an earlier one.

I played VC, SA and Liberty City Dtories on PSP. Now 4. I only finished VC and SA I think. I watched a few videos of VC and it looks so empty now.

Some asian company will launch a better version of this after 12 months of dev time.

The western model of having retards in charge of games that take 10 years to make is dead.

Cycle time is completely ridiculous. The appeal wears off years before release.

Makes me wonder if the insane PS5 prices are related to GT6. Wouldn’t be that surprising.

was pretty intense.


Despite being a huge fan of GTA3 and GTA4, GTA5 wasn't really for me and I bet GTA6 won't be either, but criticizing their business model is pretty silly.

Its profitable but its a shit model for consumers.

Since when do they care about consumers though? I’m confident they believe people will buy whatever they make, regardless of quality.

You say "regardless of quality" like they've made bad games and just dont care. Other than their surfing game (I forget the name) in the very early 2000's, pretty much all they've made is gold. If GTA6 comes out and is great, I think they are probably the world's foremost studio in terms of pure quality games at this point. Their track record is nearly perfect.

CD Project Red is up there, at least after they fixed Cyberpunk, but Rockstar? Top of the list.
