>less technology than IV
>world is dull and lifeless
>80% of the map has nothing aside from hills and grass
>R* doesn't give a shit about people who don't play offline, game's focus is MP
>story is short and suffers a lot from being split across three characters
i could go on and on but that should be enough

I think it's a good game, lots of cool shit. I doubt we will ever get any single player dlc.

GTA V was bad because they picked a bad setting and tried too many things at once. Ofc the world was detailed in the usual excellent way R* does it, but the West is just a fucking boring place in general.

Also GTA Online jewery watered that game down beyond belief, to the point where it's a culmination of everything wrong with gaming right now

>gta v
>bad

Sup Forums did it again

It has glaring issues which make it one of the worst GTA games for its time, but it's still enjoyable.
Los Santos has a dry low road density, which makes it hard to drive around and not see the same thing over and over or leave the city by accident.
There's also no interiors, making all of this 'real life detail' kind of hollow. GTA4 had lots of apartment buildings you could enter and explore, or at least access the lobby of.
Driving is also a downgrade, it controls better, but it's nearly impossible to roll any vehicle and none of them have any weight to the driving.
LA is also pretty boring. It's easy to get immersed and lost in the skyscrapers and high rises of liberty city, but half of Los santos is just single story houses.
Ay interesting suburb is also very small. Little seoul and Vespucci canals could do with being at least doubled In size

i love this meme

GTA 5 is not a game you call bad. It might have been a disappointment to some, but overall the game hold up well.

meh. Map is empty as fuck and the story sucks.
I also hate the huge variation about the storytelling: one of the things i loved about previous games was the amount of cool different character. In gta 5 you basically work only fot you, for lester, federals and Frenklin's nigger friend.

I still haven't played it actually.
I was waiting for the PC version to come out but then I got lost in a bunch of other games

>that video
>guy is just showing off a bunch of features that were added/improved

y do?

not bad but it could be better

Nice argument, retard.

this

He proved their favourite eceleb was full of shit.

i fucking hate the endings. Last mission in pretty disappointing

no

>single city
>small world
>handling is shit
>GTA online jewery
>GTA online ruining the possibilities for modding(which could fix many many fucking problems)
>physics isn't even as good as IV
>ONLY ONE FUCKING CITY
They wasted all their time on online bullshit.

Honestly I wouldn't even bother with single player stuff. Whenever I play I just play online. It's shit in many ways but I still like dicking around and doing races

>ONLY ONE FUCKING CITY
so fucking what? it's a huge city

GTAIV
>single city
>small world
>handling is shopping trolley tier (shit)
>GFW live
>GFW live ruining the possibilities of modding
>physics are overly weighty and everything moves like a bowling ball
>literally just one fucking city

wow

I agree about the city. I mean the surface area is pretty big but there's just so few streets. On top of that they're straight lines and you can drive through the whole town on one road. Coupled with the F1 car handling it makes the city feel quite small

>the West is just a fucking boring place in general.


You're joking, right? I recommend playing EU4 for a taste of history and tell me at what part Japan gets interesting.

Sengoku is as good as it gets and even that is a fucking joke.

>game based around driving and shooting
>all the vehicles handle roughly the same, all the weapons handle roughly the same

It's awful

Only autistic faggots say IV was better but there were serious problems
>Half the map contains a shitload of filler as hills and offroad you can barely drive on
>Online is a fucking microtransaction hell
>The cops are teleporting terminators
>Stars can activate even when alone in the middle of nowhere for shooting a gun
>Your health bar is fucking tiny as shit and half the AI has bullshit aimbot
>It can be a hassle getting around on foot thanks to the shitty ragdoll system making you fall down when you want to climb a hill and a shitload of the map requires a helicoptor to reach

Fucking Ice Ammo.

GTA V is one of the best in the series, though it is a little safe.

V is bad because it pales in comparison to SA

It beats IV by a landslide.

It doesn't even have better multiplayer than 3, and 3 MP sucks ass

It was and is a great game but it removed features/slimmed down compared to GTA VI which feels like a step back in many ways (especially the AI)

>playing GTA for the multiplayer

You do realize the gameplay is exactly the same right?

SP storylines dont really make a video game any better. 200 player San Andreas is the height of the franchise.

>people say GTAIV has more technology
kek

I hate the controls. It's like the game treats player input as a suggestion rather than an order because it has to check with the stupid physics engine for every goddamned action which is why your character has an aneurysm and faceplants for stepping on a street curb the wrong way.

Wait, so you think IV has more technology and vibrancy to it than V?

God damn your opinions are shitty.

Not that guy, but talking about GTA I'm assuming he's talking about the west coast

>there are children on this site defending GTAV that weren't fucking born during the 3d era of gta games

I had a problem with this in GTA4, RDR and it's still a problem in GTA V. Player movement is so sluggish. Then there are all these animations I end up in against my will, like if you run towards a ledge to jump off, but then you're too close to the edge and the character just slides down. It's also a bit silly with how snappy the car handling is, it's like night and day

crowbarcat btfo

but seriously though, the one thing I really miss from IV was the euphoria physics when you knocked people around or when a car hits someone when you go fast it looked like it had a ton of impact the way the bodies hit the ground and such. I dunno if they out right removed euphoria in V for whatever reason or that they toned it down too much but euphoria looked really cool in IV

>everyone complains about how dreadfully boring and morose GTAIV is with its bland missions and total lack of humor
>removed several types of vehicles (no fucking planes) and virtually all character customizaton
>GTA V comes out, missions are the most entertaining and well-designed in the series, the game is genuinely funny, character customization is far more extensive and there's far more vehicle variety
>"b-but muh vehicle deformation, muh shitty bowling with Roman (even though there are dumb minigames like golf and tennis in GTAV)"
This game is the perfect example that Sup Forums is filled with retards that only want to complain about things that are new.

It's still in the game. Run into someone and they'll stumble around

It's why I've never understood the hype with modern Rockstar titles. They all control like shit which makes the game feel clunky and unresponsive. Can't wait for the same bullshit in RDR2.

if you wanted a traditional single player gta, its awful. story mode is an afterthought and they will never make any more add ons for it.

if you want to play mp its bad because its no fun allowed grinding mmo to make money to buy cars in a game about stealing cars.

You're right, but for me V is ruined retroactively with one of the worst MPs to ever be included in a video game.

It's not really bad, it's just that Rockstar has done the same game 4 times already.

>Could have had amazing SP DLC which fixed a lot of the problems like with GTA IV
>instead they focused on the shitty online
>people here are hyped up for RDR2 even though they're already talking about the online bullshit

GTA has some of the best car physics/handling in any game not actually about racing.

actually gta iv had two cities. liberty city and alderney city

There is a bigger gap between GTA SA-4 or 4 to V than in any Japanese franchise thats ever existed.

I'm by no means a fan of GTA, but this is just objectively true. Saying they are each the same game is retarded.

>missions are the most entertaining and well-designed in the series

that's San Andreas.

>playing EU4 for a taste of history

I'll admit GTAV's car handling is quite nice, but it's not enough. I wish so badly they would go back to PS2-era player movement, but Christ will return before that happens.

No, you fucking retard.
>gta 4 came out
>people complain how it lacks shittons of fun content from SA, but at least it has some nice technology
>gta 5 came out
>people complain how it lacks both fun content from SA AND cool technology from gta IV

It's the only game that will give you context to the scale of technological differences and impact on history that any country has had.

>people complain how it lacks both fun content
Like what? The gang war shit?

it wasnt bad but it wasnt as good as gta 4, even with more detail. but that doesnt make a game better

My only criticism of the car handling is everything has ABS, traction control and stability control hard coded into it so mods can't really fix it. It would have been nice if older cars didn't that safety net just to give the game some variety.

how about reading a fucking book nigger
eu4 is shit

Driving was the worst of any GTA
MP was a mistake

The only good thing about it was first person and that's it.

EU4 is the kind of game best played for people who actually do read books. Not that you'd know, LOL

>bland missions
At least you could approach those missions however you wanted, unlike in V where they were completely on rails and scripted. Execution trumps spectacle.
>no humour
This isn't true. A lot of the dialogue between Niko and the other characters provides, with some characters like Brucie being built to be comedic relief. Better than V's unsubtle, "wacky" humour.
>no planes
What the hell would you use a plane for aiside from crashing into buildings?
>no customisation
IV has more clothing options than V.

GTA games pre-IV were mechanically shallow as far as shooting, driving, movement and police AI was concerned. IV's aim was to amend that by improving those aspects. With those improved, it's possible to have fun despite having the game being more grounded. In what other game can you raid a crackhouse, attract police attention and then escape by hoping several fences and eventually escaping by boarding a subway train sefinds before the cops show up?

Also, V removed content from IV, such as vigilante missions, repossessions and dating.

This video is retarded compared to CrowbCat's video. Anyone who legitimately believes that CrowbCat got "btfo" have no idea how a video game should improve on its predecessor.

The details shown in this video are examples of technology that weren't readily available at the time of GTA's release. You can't expect a game from 2008 to have the exact same tree physics as a game from 2013, and its expected that a game released five years later would have graphical improvements such as a detailed underwater and improved shadows. All the other examples he used were either grasping at straws (who the fuck cares about wet clothes?) and up to preference (movement on trains and cars, lack of planes)

CrowbCat showcased things that were expected to be improved upon a 5 year old game but didn't deliver, such as AI interaction and ragdoll mechanics. Actual important things.

>What the hell would you use a plane for aiside from crashing into buildings?

This is about all anybody needs to read of your post to know your opinion is utterly worthless.

Is eu4 your first grand strategy or something?
jesus christ no wonder /gsg/ went to shit when people like you are paradox' target audience now

enjoy hearts of iron 4 i guess, or is even that too complicated for you?

HOI4 covers the span of a few years.

EU4 covers centuries.

I play HOI, Vic, CK, and EU.
Stop trying to pretend like your autistic opinion is valid any more than someone elses. You and I both know its not going to work and not going to give you any control whatsoever, in this discussion, or in life. My recommendation to you is to work on the control you lack irl so you don't have to compensate for it on Sup Forums, retarded faggot.
