Cinematics over gameplay. Like a lot of modern games.

>all updates reduced to multiplayer content that you have to grind heists to be able to purchase, or drop some dosh in macro transactions. and no single player dlc. like a lot of modern games.

fix'd that for you.

several movies did it better, no-fun-allowed terminator cops and pedestrians who love to call police on you if you bump into them walking down the sidewalk. no way to outgun a cop brigade until their reinforcements slow down because they warp in via star trek bullshit, any car that isn't your character's personal forced car disappears if you walk to far away from it, no ability to change personal cars. the list goes on but the jist is, instead of improving on gta with graphics and QOL improvements they took out the fun and made you run missions if you wanted to "rampage" or actually survive a cop shootout.

>no-fun-allowed terminator cops
>says this when GTAIV exist
it's actually easier in GTAV, git gud

There's nothing do do there except the story missions. No incentive to explore the map, side missions are useless and don't have meaningful rewards, money doesn't matter because you can't buy properties to live in you just get them, no point in buying or customizing cars since the mission will spawn only the default ones etc etc. No sense of accomplishment and progression at all.

It's just boring as fuck. It's the Phantom Pain of GTA

It's good, the singleplayer was enjoyable even though the story was a bit eh. Early GTA Online was fine up until heists got introduced, after that it became bloated. Certainly not my favorite GTA but a solid game nonetheless.

I have a legitimate question because I like GTA and I haven't played 5 yet.

What does >No incentive to explore the map mean exactly? I mean as opposed to exploring the map in San Andreas. There really isn't an "incentive" per se, it's just fun.

I wasn't a fan of the multiple protagonist thing, but I had a blast with the singleplayer.

It failed spectacularly at the most important and essential thing of all GTA games cheats.

Everything is centered around the main city, there are only a couple of uninteresting hick towns in the area around that so traveling is a bit pointless.

eons ago when game developers still wore mullets and knee socks, these types of games would have hidden items that would change the way the game played, we called them hidden items or easter eggs. Legend has it that jet packs and other such fun items once existed in the ancient time where fun rewards were a part of a giant world.

...

Not much content. Story is the big draw for triple a games now.

That's the thing. It isn't fun. Characters move like brickwalls

Not other guy but I get what he means I think

In SA outside of the main story, you have the gang shootouts, the big heist, flight/driving/boating school, homes to buy, drug run interceptions, races, hydrollic matches etc

In V outside the story you have 50 different collectables, random encounters and almost no side missions other than the assassin missions, property only unlocks more money or more random encounters

i didn't like the story
the mods are ok
online is ok if you mod in money because of all the cars and use them on race tracks, otherwise good luck even getting half the stuff there is now without a friend
worse than gta sa/mta obviously

>Stand near someone
>They get pissed and start attacking

Why though?

I don't.

>what if we took out all of the cool shit that was in San Andreas and put only one city to go along with the other 80% of the map that's just mountains and desert
At this point just give me the 3D universe games in HD and I'll fucking take it over GTAV

That's only the beginning

Ah so the story doesn't take you around the whole map?

That's lame.

>cops warp through hyperspace to you and start shooting.

There are usually a ton of small secrets to find in GTA games. Not that GTAV is lacking in them, it just doesn't feel like the world map and its space is used as effectively as it could have been.

There's very little incentive to go past the city of Los Santos, despite LS only taking up 50% of the map. The entire upper half of the map is barely used in story missions, barely used in side missions, and only has a handful of activities for you to do.

There's not much interesting to see there compared to a similar GTA like San Andreas, either. Most of the top half of the map is comprised of mountains, mountains and more mountains. There's so many mountains, that there's not much room left for varied terrain. The Grand Senora Desert area of the game, for example, begins and ends faster than you'd have imagined it would. The desert area of the game feels like a tiny patch of land, and yet, there are several mountains nearby surrounding it that take up room and offer very little in return. Same with the forest area further up north. I get the joke there; thanks to deforestation, there isn't much forest in the real world equivalent of that area, hence the forest being tiny and having a lot of cut down trees. They still could have expanded how much forest area there was, though. You can do a hunting minigame and hunt animals, but the area to do so will have you standing right next to a major highway and several buildings, rather than deep in the woods.

Roads are also effected by this. There's only really one major highway in this game, that loops around the edge of the map.

Most of these mountains don't have much in the way of interesting things you can do on them on top of that. Mount Chilliad is back and at least has some things on it, and there's another mountain with a ghost easter egg. But otherwise, most of the mountains are just there to take up space that could have been better used for other things.

Oh come on, V has races, schools, sports like tennis, triathlon or hunting and minigames like darts or the taxi missions.

it'll make you drive around it because driving to missions for 5 minutes is great fun.

>posts autistic video about why GTAIV is better
>in 2017
i bet you unironically defend this

That's why they've been doing it since SA.

The game feels neutered and watered down compared to the things that came before it. There's stuff to do and see in it, but there isn't that much to do and there isn't that much to see, despite being the biggest game in terms of map size in the series to date. They went out of their way to add an extensive ocean you can grab a submarine and dive deep into. And yet, there's barely anything there either, aside from the tiny handful of easter eggs and some collectible nuclear waste that doesn't get you anything other than a trophy/achievement, unless I'm forgetting something.

All I just want is some single player Dlc

I had more fun mashing buttons to workout in SA than I did with most missions in GTAV

>it's this video again
half the shit on there is nitpicking issue like the helicopter water thing and how you can't shoot the gun off someone's hand

It's pretty realistic american behaviour desu.

I'm still not sure why there's a highway that loops around to the top of the map. Just seems a bit over the top, seeming as there's nothing much at the top of the map.

>it's the game's fault for me not being gud
work on it

he's a nostagiafag, they are notorious for cherrypicking shit to skew for their favor

GTA III

I don't hate it but it was very forgetable

The Zelda effect in this series is fucking incredible. I can't wait until VI comes out and people start liking V.

I actually forgot V had those.
idk V is weird for me, I sometimes feel like playing it, I then have to force myself to play it, and when I do I have a really fun time and enjoy it.
Then after I've played enough, I still have to force myself to play it the next time I feel like it.

1. It's popular.
2. The cars don't control like boats anymore.
3. When you flip your car in the middle of nowhere you don't have to run all the way back.

The real reason is that 18 year old adult shitposters played GTA IV when they were 9 and didn't realize it was the worst 3D GTA game besides Liberty City Stories.

I couldn't even finish the singleplayer storyline because I was so fucking bored. There is nothing really to do besides the story either, some shit minigames like fucking tennis and yoga.

The multiplayer heists were a lot of fun but there's like fucking 4 of them and half the set-up missions are goddamn aids.

The loading times in multiplayer are inexcusable and there occur so often it's a complete joke.

Probably more but it's been a while since I played

What trainer works online

>trying to do heists with randos and waiting a billion years every time somebody bails
GTAV in general just feels like a slog

not to mention GTAIV is Shadow the Hedgehog levels of edgey

>what is loading up the game and going into the MP that way
either you have a toaster, or you don't exactly know that it's a big map

the shitty ragdolls killed it for me, as lame as that sounds. the best part about iv was fucking around with the ragdolls

Gta v is not cinematic you fucking retard. The main reason why GTA V is criticized is for its fucking online and expansions being jewed into just grinding missions and buying cars with in game currency.

>defending GTA5 loading times at all
You might be legitimately retarded.

Because it's new. Remember, this is nostalgiafaggot cancer central, we only like old things here because we're all so mature and sophisticated.

>the game is shit cause my machine is ass
the real retard is you for falling for the loading time meme

>modding it in

Boy I'm sure glad I have to cheat to access content in my video game. Well worth the 60 dollars!

>the Phantom Pain of GTA
So a great game that only edgy contrarians on Sup Forums dislike?

I don't know about what others thought, but I found the story boring, I hated the fact it's focused on heists, i think the character switch is a dumb gimmick that makes the gameplay not fluent. Trevor is 100% cringe imho.
my favorite GTA is IV, and i know it's basically universally hated so what do i know.

>having this mentality
go get some friends that can mod it in, literally not that hard you lazy fuck

>thinks Trevor is ultimate cringe
>defends GTAIV
kek, i disliked Trevor as much as I can, but that's embarrassing as fuck dude

Where's the jetpacks? Where's the gambling? Where's pizza boy/vigilante/fire fighter missions? Where's stats and dual wielding? Why don't they have any of that shit in GTAV?

>kek, i disliked Trevor as much as I can, but that's embarrassing as fuck dude
maybe i don't remember IV that well, but Niko wasn't hyper violent degenerate psychopath, or? I am willing to accept it sucks since I haven't played it since 2010 iirc and i loved for the story since I am a balkanslav myself, 1st and last time I somewhat identified with a character

I was talking about the single player. The multiplayer has its own problems.

Niko was a brooding melodramatic wet blanket

literally fucking coldsteel the hedgehog in terms of edge

>I somewhat identified with a character
Are you a horrible hypocrite that kills people for money?

Aren't we all?

No, I kill people for free.

>Are you a horrible hypocrite that kills people for money?
how much money we talking about here?

It's the best GTA game by far. The core gameplay alone puts it miles above the others.

Enough to buy you a boatload of tendies.

what did you think about The lost and the damned dlc?

2k

marginally decent, but the edge was real in that one

give me the name senpai

>missions are all easy as fuck
>checkpoints every second
>can skip missions

It managed to be less fun and memorable than GTA IV.
no single player expansions yet and probably ever.
multiplayer is complete fucking cancer that has completely overtaken the game.

and the soundtrack is easily the worst yet.

>and the soundtrack is easily the worst yet.
>It managed to be less fun and memorable than GTA IV.
>he says when LCS exists
I shouldn't be too hard on LCS cause they didn't full-on edge until GTAIV's TLAD

Director Mode.

Does LCS count as mainline? I lump that shit in with Chinatown Wars and London 69

released on PS2, so I count it

Only one strip club.

Okay but that one strip club is better than every strip club in every other GTA combined.

Only one city

>Add cool new vehicles
>They cost millions
>Before you can buy them you have to spend another $5M on a special fuck you garage/bunker/biker den

GTA V is so easily the best in terms of content, detail, mechanics, and features that its not even close. You can literally edit the map at will, and record in depth kinos. You can alter the weather at any second, and increase wantedness by different levels. You can jump like hulk. You can slow down cinematic camera to a crawl. You can be ANY NPC, animal, story character, etc.

Online is much faster now and always full, and had passive mode with active npcs walking around (lol at SAMP). You can and will have races and shootouts in areas you never will ever again ever because it was a random user created game thrown in the roulette with rockstars verified and official content. There is an endless stream of content whizzing by you will never fully digest as if it was a million garys mod servers.

There are so many ways to take it slow, so many animations to take advantage of, so many ways to make things "comfy" outside of hectic missions, that machinima makers must have a fucking aneurysm taking it all in.

If you arent having fun its because youre a nostalgiababy who isnt even trying.

this was a major fuck up

>timed cheats
>button cheats at that

director mode doesn't excuse it because you can't do anything on there but murder cops

Los santos itself despite being big also has a low road density making it hard to actually stay inside the city and very quick to get to anywhere. Making it feel very small

yeah if only it could let me be wacky like then 90s games and play as an alien xD or like a dog lmao

>add lame side missions all over the map
>no property missions
>just weekly payments and the occasional phonecall to do some boring nothing job

normies like it too much

wow you just made it sound as boring as possible

insufferable writing

We don't, but to fit in, you must show how much you dislike popular things.

i look forward to your thread tomorrow when you ask why you cant enjoy video games anymore

my main gripe is the police being way too overkill, literally no fun allowed, cant do anything without getting stars

also, the game is way too realistic, id prefer goofy shit like SA

they also ceased and decist one of the most important tools for modding gta iv and v.

not sure if they retracted on that later though.

I enjoy the multiplayer because of all the free updates it still gets

Nah instead I'll enjoy a game that's not emptier than the space between cities in San Andreas

so basically the game is only fun if you make machinimas like an autist. okay.

It could of been brilliant, but then people started buying sharkcards.

haha yeah so comfy traveling to other cities, so much gameplay travelling
