It was also made on decade old hardware.

Considering the shit they managed to cram into GTAV I'm surprised they didn't cut more shit from IV. I think they even said that they couldn't update last gen GTAV anymore because the memory simply couldn't handle it.

>>338308117

Locational damage, reactions to being hit in certain locations, limping/arm favoring, and most importantly individual health-bars to indicate overall health status (and the NPC behaving in a manner which reflects his health) were in previous installments of GTA, Red Dead Redemption, etc.. and Rockstar were well known for implementing useful innovations from other IP's they own into their next product- almost as if they are building their depth one game at a time, like a normal company.

Then for some reason all the innovations they made in 4 were removed or suppressed. For no reason at all. The 'little things' which made GTA better than just good, but great, were suddenly gone- compromised for other features, despite the fact those features were already well established within the franchise and there was no need to remove them.

Back on GTAIV on 360, if you killed an NPC with the sniper rifle at as max range as possible (when they start popping in) they would do the San Andreas death animation because they were too far away for RAGE physics to kick in.

Hi, dunga
>>
>>338320186

Is that from your own personal experience?
>>
I honestly don't understand how could people enjoy GTA IV for more than a technological benchmark and/or prefer it over GTA V, especially after SA or Vice City. Don't get me wrong, GTA V has plenty of issues as well as being inferior to IV in some areas, but it's still a far better game overall. The only logical explanation I have is that they are plebs who started vidya gaming in previous gen and GTA IV was their fist GTA ever, so they have fond memories of it

no i started with gta 2 and VC is my favorite SA is really fun i'm mostly just a fag for IV because of the car physics and V's always upset me
>>
>>338320605

The car physics in IV were always awful. I thought this when I bought the game the night it came out, I still think it now, and will continue to think so till I die. I was never able to reinstall IV without the handling tweak config file.

My friend from school works at Rockstar and I can actually tell you the exact reason they took that out.
Apparently it was all because of the possibilities of violence in previous games. Players were making videos having too much fun torturing NPCs by shooting their legs, arms, and watching them helplessly squirming on the ground. Some people at Rockstar decided that it was too much and didnt use locational damage in GTAV.
>>

>>

The torture scene was put there especifically for marketing purposes.
It was THE SCENE that they expected people to see and talk about on every gaming website, so I guess it worked.

And GTAV had enough extra going on otherwise (graphics, size and scope, draw distance and density etc) that it had to make cuts elsewhere. Rockstar is using virtually every byte of memory in the 360 and PS3.

Look, I like the technology stuff as much as the next guy but lets face it. You see it once, you're impressed for like 5 minutes, maybe record a webm to post that shit here and that's it. You'll never use it for gameplay in any way and they had to waste money to make it.

literally everything is better in V. niko controls like a 70 year old sumo wrestler with cum in his eyes. and the animations all look stiff and awful. everything is so much more fluid in gta v. right down to the way the camera moves, vaulting over objects and how smooth the aiming is

>still can't tell me any good character from V

I'm also honestly trying, but I can't.

V's main and supporting cast were all garbage.
>>
I'm 27 years old and played III, VC, SA, IV, and V at release unlike you underagefags. I'm not here to tell you my opinion on the best.

However, IV was the biggest load of clunky boring shit I've ever had the misfortune to play.

Controls were shit. One poster put it perfectly that niko controlled like a sumo wrestler with cum in his eyes.
Visuals were shit. Boring grey cockadoodie grit shit.
Characters & Story = shit. You think the story is going to pick up with brucie but boy were you wrong. You play as shit eastern euro trash that comes to america and hangs out with ghetto trash.

Please stop embarrassing yourselves by sticking up for this hot stinking shit of a game.

I like 5 but most of its short comings are because they realized how much money could be made from online rather than single player. They could have added more details, or they could put up new e-clothing for people to buy with real money. You can bet 6 will have a massive focus on online as well.

But that's what was so good about it.

Would you prefer "cinematic" missions where you follow someone around in a helicopter?

I mean the missions in IV basically plopped you in a cool area, like a museum or construction site, and you had to shoot your way through it. The shooting mechanics were fun so I thought it was a great thing. I thought the missions in IV had a very appealing simplicity.
>>
I actually think V had more TECHNOLOGY than IV:

>that very smooth animation
>those cool moments where you switch to another character and get a little scene: often if you do it right after a mission, you'll get a unique one about how they felt afterwards
>michael says different things in therapy depending on your actions
>lots of different conversations depending on who you choose for the heists
>first GTA with a full score that gave the missions some amazing atmosphere
>those cool moments where you're starting a mission, and the game flawlessly transitions into the cutscene
>a lot of moments in the game had a "cinematic" camera that gave you a neat perspective on the action

Honestly the game really felt like it used every dollar wisely. You can nitpick extremely small details but it definitely plays and feels like a game that cost hundreds of millions

yes. lets replace all the cars in gta 5 with just the stock taxi. and remove everything but one of the machine guns. and remove jumping. actually, just remove fighting at all. just have a big, flat open parking lot with just taxis. taxis as far as the eye can see...

still looks better in some ways. more sophisticated lighting, also better rain/weather effects.
>>
>>338334626
Objectively wrong, opinion invalid
>>
>>338334564

the story mode in a sandbox game is still largely linear and is built around only a few mechanics. You don't need to shove in a bunch of random shit in the missions for the sake of variety.

GTA V had too much retarded shit, like using a submarine, or mopping floors. If that's variety than I'm not too interested. The best missions in V were the ones that stuck to the basics: the shootouts with Franklin/Lamar and the shootout in the slaughterhouse
>>
>>338334540
technology would be something impressive implemented in the engine.
Like, if you shoot the gun of an enemy in GTA IV, he will drop it. Shoot the leg, he will limp.
Fly an helicopter over a three, and the leaves will move around. This is technology. Those kind of technical details. But playing a different sound file depending on the character you are playing (aka depending on a variable value, whether it is 0; 1 or 2) is not.
>>
>>338334396
Exactly, people always list this as a complaint but I don't mind the missions being ''drive here shoot that'' because the driving and shooting in IV are great, which isn't the case in V so they had to make up for it with boring set pieces that make for shit replayability.
>>
>>338334915
>the story mode in a sandbox game is still largely linear and is built around only a few mechanics
what. the story mode of every gta is basically an excuse to make you do everything in the game. racing monster trucks for the shady agent guy in sa? flying rc airplanes in vice city for the nerd kid? breaking into a military complex for a jet pack? all you had to do was follow the damn train cj?
>>
>>338307985
And they still couldn't be fucked to write a decent story or any decent characters.

Anyone who suggests that there are deep philosophical implications of the way the characters are written can go fuck a cactus.

Like suggesting that Trevor is supposed to be some deconstruction of the typical GTA player's mindset is giving the writers way more credit than they deserve. They just had him say the dumbest shit while hoping for it to come off as THIS GUY'S SO CRAZY AM I RIGHT GUYZ LOL

The writing in these games pisses me off so fucking much, but because the game made so much money there are going to be tons of games written in the exact same fucking way.

Fuck this piece of shit game for dragging down the entire industry.

the first time I played IV, I legit didn't finish it because I was fucking tired of being called every hour and my stupid completionist brain wouldn't let me ignore it.

came back years and years later to the PC version and enjoyed it quite a bit. its a good game. I had more fun with 5 though.

I'm not gonna pretend like I have great taste but I really dug V's story and characters, definitely my favorite since Vice.

GTAO is some of the most boring shit ever in anything above small doses but it's fun to come back to occasionally and mess around with the new shit after glitching a good 100mil out of the game.

GTA single player is and has been casual in every way. If you cant complete a GTA campaign due to difficulty you're a casual.
Fucking autist.
Choose an arguement to why GTA IV was better? Other than muh Brucie and and you can't crouch.
IV was a huge downgrade from San Andreas. Couldn't own your own vehicles couldn't customize vehicles or your weapons. Shitty brown cowadooty filter. Only fun thing to do in multiplayer was cops and robbers which was dead after the first two years. Chill with the /v/ contrarian meme, IV was the shittiest game in the series. It was a massive downgrade from San Andreas. V is far from perfect but definitely superior to IV by a long shot.

>>338346636
But I have anon. The controls are shit, the overall gameplay is bad (the camera angle gives you virtually no time to react to shit in your way at high speeds, so every car you enter becomes a burning wreck sooner or later) the game wasn't playtested, so missions are either pitifully easy or balls to the walls difficult. I will admit that the game has a great retro aesthetic, and stellar music, but take off the nostalgia goggles. Even on release people were noting that it had some flaws (see: any GTA 2 review)
