V did driving and combat better but it's definitely not as fun to play as IV.

Yes

Nah, I actually had fun with V

nah, you're just a little contrarian faggot who swears that old > new. ditch the nostalgia goggles or kys.

IV and V are flawed in very different ways and are pretty mediocre

v is good but it's missing everything that iv got right

Gameplay is overall an upgrade but the loss of detail from IV diddn't go unnoticed. The better driving was ruined by, as you said, wrecks looking less damaging, in addition the auto flip that removes 90% of the tension in a car chase. The police system sucks cock too, and I much preferred 4 in that regard, and would have either preferred to have that system or a natural evolution of it in 5. Multiplayer is cancer too, and it baffles my mind anyone over the age of 13 gets any enjoyment out of it beyond the first 3-5 hours of novelty. I also miss the ragdolls from 4. Rockstar improved the overall skeleton of GTA but made the surface ugly as sin, and the direction they have gone with the multiplayer has me very concerned for RDR2 and future GTA games.

V is shit but IV is even bigger garbage lol, SA and VC are only kino GTAs

>We can agree this game is inferior to IV right?
Nah. In all honesty at least GTA4. Had mini games and stuff to do. GTA V takes you up to a certain point. And then everything else is online only. So yeah GTA4 at least had content to do.

>We can agree this game is inferior to IV right?
Not really saying much when GTAIV was such a steaming pile of shit already.

No DLC, no fun.

imagine being such a contrarian fuck you'd rage against fun

Don’t forget there’s less places to camp out and cause chaos, I loved holding down the fort in IV against the entire city PD

>this

I remember when Sup Forums wasn't swarmed by all these fucking nostalgia blinded faggots. Sup Forums has gone down hill it used to be better.

I don't know how you people can stomach these boring ass games that get stale after a couple of hours because they present their whole mechanics by then. Shit taste I suppose. Remember when the auto aim kicked in in V, the developers actually consider you a retarded monkey that can't aim.

Why do you make this thread every day? It's like you can't handle people having different opinions.

single-player definitely

Why is it that everytime someone says IV is better people just call them a contrarian or blame nostalgia, without actually giving any counter-examples to actual valid criticisms on why V is a steaming pile of shit?

All console shooters have some degree of auto aim. You don't get all of the mechanics until after half the game is done, really. In conclusion, being upset doesn't make you right.

Fuck no, GTA IV is some repetitive, asinine shit.

>V did driving better
no

>I don't know how you people can stomach these boring ass games that get stale after a couple of hours because they present their whole mechanics by then. Shit taste I suppose. Remember when the auto aim kicked in in V, the developers actually consider you a retarded monkey that can't aim.
is this post-irony?

it's the easiest way for newfags to pretend they were here before a few months ago.

I just get bored from games that treat me like I never played another game in my life and have actually nothing new or interesting to show(aka most tripple A western games)

The DLC was better than base 4.

Why not just turn off auto-aim then?

GTA IV's "Realistic" driving had you slide on each turn. The physics are okay, but not fun. I'd play a racing game if I wanted that, but even GTA V implemented that pretty well with its custom rules.

V has a far more interesting world than IV

>it will never be 2008 again
>you will never stay up until 3am just fucking around in the airport in IV multiplayer with random people

>GTA IV's "Realistic" driving had you slide on each turn
No. Also go drive a car.

4 was my favorite in the series. 5 was trash

This.
IV was pretty okay, but the DLC really fleshed it out. TBOGT has great characters too.

I turned it off but you can't turn off the arcade driving that gets boring after a couple of hours and everything else. The best part in V was from my playthrough when you get control of the dog at the beginning(that's actually it for me the rest was a waste of time). Looks pretty and runs great so that's enough for most mouth breather. Look at me it's like a real city and I can shoot people with boring mechanics. Whoop di fucking do I did that in the past games.

No, GTA IV had good missions but after the missions were done there was literally nothing to do. The DLCs fixed this problem but base GTA IV no way. V's just got too much shit that's all high quality

I drive a car.
It is an attempt to display muh physics in a game that had an arcade style before and afterwards. Driving in GTA IV simply wasn't fun because of it.

Yusuf was such a bro and perfectly cast with Omid Djalili.

Cars only slide out if you're flooring it the whole time, like everyone does in V and the cars still somehow turn on a dime. V driving is so easy that it's boring, IV actually requires some skill and practice to get good at drifting. It's extremely satisfying once you get good at it.

I love the DLC as much as the next guy but given that I replayed the base game and the DLCs less than a year ago, you're very wrong. The DLCs are good in the story department but fall extremely short compared to the base game when it comes to freeroaming and side content. The base game has you stealing cars, doing drug deals, taxi missions, vigilante missions, assassin missions, finding the 200 pigeons, all the random interactions you come across just from walking around and finding these side characters

DLC has jack shit post-story

>I'd play a racing game if I wanted that, but even GTA V implemented that pretty well with its custom rules.

I liked both games about pretty much the same, so I don't know what to tell ya.

>V did driving better
uh, NO. gta 4's driving was infinitely better

>Driving in GTA IV: All cars are land boats
>Driving in GTA V: All cars are sports cars

I didn't realize you were only talking about V, that's easily the worst one in the series. You can still turn the auto-aim off in all the other ones though

gtaV literally auto locks you on to the nearest target. That's unacceptable

>Driving in GTA V: All cars LITERALLY FUCKING WEIGHTLESS

>tennis, yoga, and golf are pretty much the only side activities

V has less side activities than IV and the ones it does have are retarded as fuck

>All cars are land boats
That's factually not true and you know it. Drive the Blista Compact for example. It's fucking amazing.

>you will never fight people to get the op as fuck buzzard and murder everybody again
>you will never play cops n crooks again
>you will never get spawncamped by a hacker in a cherry red buzzard again
Why live

...

Who will Rockstar cater to with the next GTA installment? The IV crowd or the V crowd? The games have such defining, contrasting characteristics and you can't bring the tone of one to the other and vice versa.

IV is serious, down-to-earth and has dark and subtle humor
V is in-your-face and extreme, almost to the point where it's like Saints Row

THEY CAN'T FIND A MIDDLE GROUND THAT'LL WORK WITH PEOPLE, IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER WHICH ONE WILL THEY CHOOSE WE NEED AN UPDATE ON NIKO AND ROMAN I LOSE SLEEP OVER THIS SHIT

No you don't get it, where V was too arcadey, IV was trying realistic, yet didn't really achieve that with the traction, as far as i concern, but closer to V very much and much more fun to master.

gta4 actually looks better artistically than gta5 imo

>you can get reported for griefing because you blew up some dude's Infernus that he bought with real money
>you can get reported for griefing because you dicked about during the heists
>you can get reported for griefing because you crashed into a dude during a street race
GTA Online and microtran$actions were a mistake

>cops n crooks

One of the greatest multiplayer modes ever created

What's wrong with having cool, semi-realistic driving in a game that has you spending most of your time driving around? are you fucking retarded or do you really hate having fun? There's nothing enjoyable about the robotic, brainless driving in 5

>no real softbody damage to cars
This still exists exactly as in IV, but it's extremely nerfed. Some cars like the Futo will still become extremely deformed

This game would be a solid 10 if gta online didn't involve spending 60% of your time waiting in menus or loading the next session just to play heists, races, or death match.

you are fucking retarded. of course a console shooter needs some degree of autoaim to be playable and not annoying (especially third person) but the way they did it fucking sucks. "just turn it off" is not a fix

I've been playing free aim most games, and whereever there is autoaim, i turn it off. It's not even easier desu, i'd rather have free control of the aim, and mostly will go for the head anyway so i don't waste bullets and kill more people faster.

Auto-aim is actually hindering true strenght of freedom

It really is, and it upsets me that there aren't any successful, stable multiplayer mods like there are for San Andreas. Can you imagine cops and crooks only that it's consistent throughout the whole city? Players who are playing as cops getting calls for crimes that other players are committing. It's my dream experience for multiplayer GTA

are you serious? who the fuck do you think? of course the gta5 crowd, it made them billions.

LE SOLID 10 MEME

no goy have open world online mode with boring missions that dont give you enough money to buy all the needlessly expensive shit we add to get kids to buy microtransaction money

>Option is set to always on when playing GTO.

Wow.

Single player was fucking awesome and online is just as good when you're not in menus, loading, or waiting to find a match.

I'm on PC though so I can mod it and do shit like realistic police and turf wars.

>stealing cars for Brucie
>selling drugs for Jacob

How does it feel to be so wrong that you don't even seem like you played 50% of the game

That's pretty much what I was expecting with V Online. I was so excited for it, only for them to turn it into a pay-2-win/grind-fest

I'm fucking waiting for Cops DLC for GTAOnline to this day, fucking cockstar keeps adding Battlefield shit, it's making me sick.

I'm not defending the shit-fest that is GTA Online, but you can join lobbies with it turned off. Every Rockstar game had that option online since IV

Are there any servers in GTA V that allow 100 or more players? Never played it but I head the maximum is something like 30 which sounds low.

Same here, only even more fleshed out with Vagos, GSF, Ballas, and the Koreans in the mix, all available to RP as. They really, REALLY fucked up all of this potential god it makes me wanna storm into their offices and smack all their computers off their desks and shit

That game is called APB and it was far more fun than GTA Online. Too bad the engine sucks dick and feels like a Chinese knockoff of GTA. It's F2P now if you wanna see.

Official servers? lolno

I heard rumors about an anonymous group making GTA5's multiplayer open source but idk.

You're not getting it user. It upsets me just as much as it upsets you. Rockstar's a bunch of idiots who don't know what they have. If you want a taste of cop multiplayer badly enough, there's still LCPD:FR multiplayer for IV that's relatively active. Communities on youtube are still posting highlights as recent as December 2017.

>GTA doesn't have cool little touches like the Bitchn Dog Food missions any more
GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas were truly the pinnacle of the series

None of these were remotely as interesting and you can't even deny that this is Saints Row tier bullshit. Like it or not, the zany crap is Saints Row's thing now and GTA changed direction with IV. V feels like that picture of Steve Buscemi with the board in the hat going,
>how do you do fellow kids?!
We're over that. Keep the story and feel of IV coming

They will cater to side of the fanbase that caters to the zanier side of GTA because it's easier to make things that those people will buy shark cards for than it is is to make those sort of things in a more serious game

Half of what you just named are mediocre "strangers and freaks" missions. You can't just list them off individually and claim each as a different side activity

Speed in cars feels more earned in 4. I get What they were doing with the whole "life in NYC" with the friend dates in 4, also 4's story is alot more personal compared to 5's summer blockbuster plot. It all comes down to taste

GTAV is a lot better as a total package. GTAIV does a lot of small elements better, sometimes even much better, but it's a worse game. Just a lot less to it. Shit city all feels the same, and every mission is DRIVE HERE SHOOT THIS. That's not to mention babbys first dark crime drama plot. GTAV knows it's a videogame at least.

Read.

Yeah that's the thing about IV you fanboy fuck, you need to hope you find a decent car or you're in for one painful fucking drive.

>stealing cars for Brucie
you can do that in V too even better
>selling drugs for Jacob
you can do that in V too even better
>fixer assassin missions
you can to something like that too cant remember
>testing your map knowledge with Stevie's car missions
HAHAHAHAHAH
>taxi missions for Roman
HAHAHAHAHAHA
>vigilante missions in the police computer
eh alright
>random encounters like the liberty city serial killer
um ok?
>stunt jumps
woah so innovative
>finding the 200 pigeons
OH NO NO NO

literally kys, guy posted only half of the stuff to do

>defending brown turd

Why not? They're still side content that bore theft auto 4 didn't have

>Shit city all feels the same
Lmao this is so hilariously wrong, Los Santos feels like a polished turd with how samey it feels. One minute you're in the hood and next minute you're in Beverly Hills, it has no direction and it's just retarded.

Like, did you even explore IVs map at all?
>broker
>dukes
>bohan
>residential and industrial alderney
>chinatown
>charge and colony island
You're just wrong

Yes, I played GTAIV about 10 times minimum. Defining game of my adolescence.
It just all blends together. Only Times Square has any personality to it. I don't think it's even a contest to compare the maps of IV and V, V has insane attention to detail on that shit. No two suburbs feel anything like each other.

You're a shining example of V fans and why everyone hates them and the game, congrats. You and the game have something in common, you're both extremely obnoxious

good luck with taxi missions

You remind me a lot of GTAIV. Pretentious as fuck.

>Only Times Square has any personality to it
Dude Times Square has the LEAST personality to it. I really urge you to go back and check out Alderney because I just can not stand for these incorrect ststements

But because they've given by strangers and freaks and not by a letter icon on your map that you drove to, they're somehow different?

i remember i liked the city in 4 alot more, the ally ways in shit like running from the cops on foot and motorcycle was alot more fun in that one, they sacrificed the city to give us large spaces of emptiness just to brag about how big the maps is

Taxi missions have been in since III you idiot. Have fun with GTA Online, there's other children just like you there. I really get the impression that V is your first GTA

You know IV had random stranger missions right? If you listed each of them off combined with these you would have more side activities than V

I'm being hyperbolic but I really do think V did it much better. I had a lot of fun biking around and looking at houses in V, especially when the remaster came out and I could do it first person.
It's also just a much more vibrant world too. I remember you had to pump the saturation just to get any colour of IV.

They're not really the same thing. IV's were more like random little things you stumble across, in V they're treated more like official sidequests.
#justsayin

san andreas for freedom, vice city for style

What? Strangers and freaks are given by letters on the map that randomly pop up

red dead redemption did that too but no one bats an eye
