The downsides of GTAV.

[L2014]

Does anyone hope the next GTA will have better combat? I truly feel like they went backwards this time. In 08 you could knock someone out and they get back up or you can stomp them to death or they could counter and kill you.

shyt was when they pulled a knife.

The first time I cracked someone in the head with a bat I was all

Then they started bleedin from they skull

I was just playin

Remember them times in IV when you could shoot someone four times and they would die before hittin the ground, lay there, get up walk down the street and either fall and bleed out, limp to safety or the ambulance gets them?

Even provoking people into shootouts with other NPCs was cool.

Online someone shoot at you so you buss back no one was safe especially if you was behind them with an automatic or had a lil squad goin

But they could always fight back by being clever.

Tdm was the shyt.

Free mode was kinda even

And even coop was a cool grind

GTAIV is the dingiest diamond I've ever played of course it wasnt SA but it wasn't trying to be either.

GTAV online has been the most over the top nothingness for a while now.

It was cool for a while but now what's the point everyone is a rich, fast, superthug. Cats is like 5 CJs wit 10 Vercettis and Claude waitin to get tagged in

Online is too OP there's almost no point to shooting at other players cause you can't outrun them, you get penalized with the color change and they just comeback in an OP whip or sic some shyt on you.

All in all I just hope GTAVI is a bit slower paced, settled and balanced as well as a leap forward.

Thank You Rockstar for giving us an eternally overweight game with the weakest mechanics. But also keeping up with it.

Hopefully RDR 2 isn't as bloated and retains the best parts of online, gunplay, and gangshyt and maybe free zombies...please.

Anything I miss in my critique?

How do you feel about it?

What do you wish for?

gtav is overrated real talk. I`m playing gta since the first part in the 90s, put countless hours in all games and V is easily on the last place. Lacks basically everything what made the series great, stunning graphics but thats it , just replayed SA mobile and had more fun in the first half hour than in 100 + hours V

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Game was overrated as fukk to me.

Janky controls/physics

Too many boring missions

Lost the fun/fukkery of the first 3 in the pursuit of a realistic/cinematic experience.

You look at a game like watch dogs and as much shyt as it gets the controls/shooting/physics>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>GTA

So it can be done, it's just rockstar has always got a pass for shyt controls and they have not done much to fix it.

Next go back to the roots of GTA and make the game more fun. 4-5 made a pivot towards realism/cinematics and I think the game is worse for that, it lost the fukkery sandbox feel in order for you to tow cars and take random white women on dates.

Let me get in an motorcycle accident at 100mph and still get up to run from the police.

no longer being able to transfer accounts between systems since march 2017 is the sole reason i haven't bought a ps4 pro or xbox one x and just sticking with the nintendo switch. so yeah thats the only downside for me. my ps3 and 360 gta5 progress has gone to waste.

The fighting in gta 4 was goat u could have some good scraps and actually felt like u were in danger if u ran up on the wrong person
Getting sliced up by bikers

Gta v u can just knock pedestrians out with ease

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

I just want the next GTA to have a better storyline and better missions. Plus they should bring back the online dating options ( with their benefits), because Kiki Jenkins wanted down ability in GTA 4 was the Goat benefit.

I just feel the story line for GTA 5 was lackluster compared to GTA 4.

the entire game

Melee combat was always ass in GTA...

In IV it felt like you were throwing hands submerged in a pool so I really don't understand what yall reminiscing about with that...Bats and knives impact didn't really change that much in V other than the canned auto kill animations...

Animations overall were much better in V but they took the easy way out with canned animations and easy KO's...Was really hoping they would steal some ideas from sleeping dogs which imo had the GOAT open world melee combat system...

But the combat in GTAV wasn't all that bad...

This to me is solid for hands, just needs a smarter AI and some more anims...

when somebody squared up with me in GTA V for first time...

And I squared up in the same open ass body exposed front foot out way...
I was

They was

Cops was

I kicked this buster n the kneecap only for a car to come and roll over this fool

Medics show up like


And leave.

In SA you knew shyt was real when they whole body crack and they flat in the street like

People ain't really with the shyts in GTA V no one pulling guns, car jackin me.

Why doesn't Lamar have a gun?

What's a middle finger gon do when vagos and ballers on us


SA had fight styles

 

[lutha]

the downside to V is how much money they've made off the online portion....that means 6 and other rockstar games going forward are gonna be geared more towards that....which from a business standpoint i understand, but i play rockstar games for the sp experience first and foremost, and i think that's gonna be compromised now....it already started in V, we never got the story dlc they talked about, instead we just kept getting more and more updates for online....

 

[ball15life]

The limb damage is just about the only thing I miss from IV.

V has been out for 4+ years. I don't think I've ever gotten so much out of a $60 game before.

V is still my GOAT for the franchise

 

[Zero]

All this money and nowhere to spend it (no casino, etc. stocks? )

Stats are back but they don't affect appearance or anything of real signifiance outside of shooting and driving

Cluckin Bell and Burger Shot are back but you cant eat there to restore health, just to go the corner store and buy a candy bar?

None of the characters are really likable if we're keeping it a buck

Lot of bullshyt missions for story (yoga? towing trucks? )

Map regressed. It's one real city, the country/desert, then Mt. Chilliad. Should've been 3 cities


And that's just off top

Edit- CHEATS ARE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE

 

[Greenhornet]

they should make it like number 2 with gangs scattered all over the place
so you never really feel safe... then when you do too much for one gang
you are in deep shyt going in other territories


they should add traps too and car bombs
simple stupid shyt like checking your cars to see if you aren't wired up
do a mini game where you can loosen the lug nuts on the cars
pop hoods and rip shyt out of the cars, that would open up customization as well
Have broken down classic rides in places where you have to bring a trunk load of parts to fix it
so you can remodel "secret" vehicles... have like a special abandoned car underwater that you have to tow out and redo. There's alot of shyt they could do to add immersion like having your clothes fall apart after so many miles usage.

Why didn't they copy and paste TBOGT fight club for V?

GTAV is a deflated football with good grip.
