Bullshit.
Most western gaymers are leftist trash.
They are Rockstar's main demographic.

GTA IV driving was the best, so were the cops and the wanted-star system. Sadly, the game is unplayed because the story/writing sucks ass.

GTA V not only has story/writing but the gameplay itself is dumbed-down. Complete failure.

 

[Dadd]

Liberty City Stories was the best.

Bruh leave the Boer alone, he'd be positive about HIV if you let him.

GTA driving physics have always matched the tone of the narrative and were designed with the map and its roads in mind. GTAIV cars were relatively slow and had sluggish handling but required more skill in navigating the grid-like structure of a city map like Liberty City. Long straights were limited mainly to the bridges connecting the boroughs and the long Algonquin avenues. Chases were at lower speed but were more tense as the cars were closer to one another and constantly jostling for position. A poorly taken corner could result in the chase being over before it really got going. PIT maneuvers were more viable and accumulated damage on cars actually mattered. A car with its tires shot out became virtually undriveable. It had car chases clearly inspired by films like Ronin.

GTAV on the other hand had a much more different tone. Inspired by Hollywood trash like the Fast&Furious franchise GTA5 driving was all about putting gaudy supercars through over-the-top set pieces. Driving skill became secondary. GTAV cars can weave in and out of traffic effortlessly and stop on a dime. A collision with another car at top speed is a minor inconvenience, you'll be accelerating back to 100 Mph within 2 seconds. Driving over grass or gravel is barely noticeable. What's important is the car is going fast at all times to make the player feel like a skilled driver. If you are never punished for making a mistake than you can't have a sense of accomplishment when you evade a police manhunt against all odds. The Forza Horizon series suffers from the same sickness.

I hope GTAVI can find a balance between the two. BeamNG has a pretty good driving model that actually presents the driver with different challenges depending on what car you're driving and in what conditions. GTA Online stagnated in their car design because you can only make a car go faster and handle better enough before it stops resembling a car and starts becoming a rocketship with wheels. It was no surprise to me that GTA Online eventually started producing literal motorcycle rocketships because they couldn't design anymore cars that could outperform their previous DLC offerings. Ideally, your car collection in GTAVI should be a thoughtfully curated collection of vehicles with their own strengths and weaknesses that you have to carefully consider before selecting them for a particular race or mission. Not just 12 Lamborghini knockoffs that look cool.

Not bad, mi senora.

Only good games were GTA 3 and Vice City.
In a matter of years, Rockstar will go full EA (if it hasn't already done so), mark my words.

 

[Modron]

I think you meant to say SA and Bully.

 

[NecroLord]

SA

You're kidding.

San Andreas: Peaceful Protest George Floyd Edition.

Those are most of your beloved gaming companies, by the way.

1 & 2 were pretty fun.

Obviously the only good games in the series are 1 and 2. It went to shit with GTA3.

Video is useless, because Rockstar will obviously make her uglier. They don't design attractive protagonists anymore.

Libtards are trying to call themselves unpolitical now actually like typical snakes, the same way with 'anti-fascist'.

It's already unattractive enough.

I hate this retarded series. From a fun 2D game to boring 3D corporate crap. It looks like such a stupid kids game when I look at it now. Maximum speed in a car is about 20mph. It's all the engine can handle and they are so desperate to fill the world with more litter and leaves in the gutters and shit that it will never get faster. It should be as fast as a racing game so maybe crashing at 80 mph might actually look and feel like something close to realistic for a change... But it will never be like that. It will be Simpsons Hit & Run forever, just updated graphics and music for the latest generation of dudebros.

On the contrary, that's my kind of game exactly.

Guess Oblivion is your favorite TES game then.

GTA: Chinatown Wars (for NDS) was also good old GTA, you guys might want to check it out.

 

[Modron]

Any reason the DS version is superior to the psp version?

Oh, definitely.
I heard good things about it. Old school awesomeness.
Seems to me like the old GTA games were meant to be something else compared to their successors.
