Why is GTA 5 so much worse than San Andres ,is it really nostalgia or just the biggest letdown in all of gaming ?
>>342434154
they focus all their effort on GTA online yet it still runs like shit and is laid out even worse
>>342434154
>Why is GTA 5 so much worse than San Andres
Cause that is your opinion. Any other easy questions you want me to answer?
>>342434154
No leading black protagonist or Samuel Jackson.
>>342434154
I had a lot of fun with this game, don't see what you're saying
>>342434154
Nostalgia. Get fucked.
>>342434530
>No leading black protagonist
Have you lived under a rock? Franklin is black and slightly edges out the other two as the main character, unfortunately.
>>342434154
Not really forgotten, it's just "there". Everyone acknowledges its existence, some might still play it to this day, but there's no need for further discussion.
Nostalgia threads will pop up around VI's release, though. I can guarantee that.
>>342434815
I was living under your mom if that counts?
I said LEADING, Franklin had to share screen time with Trevor and that other guy.
>>342434154
Wasn't a lot similar games with 3, VC, and SA. GTA has competitors. Still fun as fuck and one of the best in the series.
>>342434815
The leading protagonist is Michael, with other dude as the supporting role. Franklin doesn't have shit for support except Lamar, which doesn't get much for story.
The huge map was a waste
Outside of the city and that small town on the opposite end of the continent, there's not much of anything. It's 90% fields.
>>342434154
Runs likes ass
>>342434898
This, everyone's already played and discussed it to death so nobody does it anymore
The game was lacking content outside of it's story. I don't want to play thei shit multiplayer, I want a better world to explore and play with mods on.
>>342434154
Story and online were disappointing
Also nothing to do after level 100 on online
>>342435108
this. VI should be like half the size of V's map so more interiors and extra details can be added.

New update for Online is pretty fun.
And I'm sure its 10x more fun with friends [spoiler:(
They ran out of ideas. I know everyone likes to shit on IV, but IV at least introduced a lot of new ideas to the series. V had nothing but half-baked rehash and a heist feature that wasn't even fully implemented.
>>342434223
>they focus all their effort on GTA online
I wish. GTA Online is a complete shitfest. They only add useless shit like new cars, rather than fixing the lobby and matchmaking system. It's very usual to wait at least 20 min to start a Heist. Then if someone leaves, you start all over.
>>342434898
This desu. It's been 3 years, everyone has played it.
Besides it gets discussed plenty.
>>342434154
literally a rushed, unfinishef piece of crap
I remember in the last gen version there were giant sections of wall you could walk through, floating objects and textures, save glitches, missing clothing
and other bullshit. Not to mention a terrible story.
>>342434154
>features in online simply absent from singleplayer
>diluted story bc 3 protagonists
>watered down GTA IV physics
>none of the fun cheats and side activities of san andreas
It basically took the worst of SA and IV and made an MMO out of it.
>>342434223
>yet it still runs like shit
what? My PC was mid-tier a few years ago and is nearing low and I get 70+ fps on high settings
>>342434154
>Already forgotten
>lets talk about it some more
I don't think you understand.
could have done a lot more, by adding some additional game play elements. I would have liked some more detailed mini-games/encounters. Not pop ups, but like gang activities. A reason to do drive-by shootings, dog fights, etc. Not just main missions, just something to contextualize their worlds a little better. (shown through game-play, not cut-scenes). Talking mostly about single player. Multiplayer shit can fuck itself.
Michael should have been the only main character, with Trevor as a supporting member. Franklin should just be cut entirely.
Prove me wrong.you can't
>>342434154
I thought GTA V was great, but with a few caveats.
1. There is so much stuff in game that went unused in single player. Stuff like the Casino and racetrack, the Hollywood Bowl, the prison, Napa Wine country, etc. I don't expect that the game will handhold you through the entire map, but it would have been nice for these areas to be incorporated into the story a little better.
2. GTA Online just isn't fun and despite earlier clamoring for a multiplayer GTA, the experience just doesn't pan out. The charm of GTA is acting like a maniac, and going up against players who are doing the same thing (only with better weapons and invincible cars) just isn't that good.
3. GTA Online is the only part of the game that continued to recieve development. There were no further stories in V, and most of the online stuff were just expensive time sinks developed to steer you towards buying shark cards. The DLC for 4 were great (some would even say better than the original game), its a shame that we can't have "more" GTA 5.
4. The heists in single player were incredibly fun, it would have been nice if the story mode included maybe 2-3 more of these.
>>342435313
What are the other 4 ?
>>342434154
>development time spent making incredibly boring activities that no one enjoyed such as fucking yoga
>development time taken away from interactions that matter such as fighting police and the star system
Just terrible priorities.
>>342434978
You don't seem to know what lead means. It doesn't mean you get 100% screen time.
>>342435039
All 3 of them share a major part of the game's story, but the story is focused on how they come together, and how it affects Franklin's life. In the end, Franklin chooses whether he wants to end the life of one of the other two, or keep them alive. It is Franklin's story at the end of the day.
>>342436051
When you really think about it, story-wise Franklin didn't really have a reason to be there other than being CJ, the sequel.
>>342436051
This. Franklin didn't really have a personality at all and Trevor is not a protagonist.
>>342434154
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE GODDAMN STORY DLC
>>342434154
It's the problem of scale that is sidestepped all the time, mainly because gaming media doesn't exist anymore.
Let me boil it down to a question. Which is more exciting to you: Dwarf Fortress, a hideous ASCII-art game which randomly generates and simulates an entire planet, including thousands of years of civilization, historical figures, battles, monuments, cultures, seasonal patterns, creatures, water physics, hunger, thirst, drunkenness, sleep, character moods, relationships, subterranean layers of all manner, crafts, trading, military organization, decoration, landscaping, and individual physiology right down to specific bones and organs that get damaged in combat - or the "next gen" GTA VI (now with Facebook Rift)?
Dwarf Fortress is much more exciting to me as an example of what’s possible. If you put its visual fidelity on a scale of 1 to 10, it would be a one, but in terms of depth and interactive richness, it’s a 10. The programmer is free to design things as complex as he wants, because he doesn’t need to show you what’s happening in detail. Makes sense, doesn’t it? And, in this sense, our traditional definition of “progress” has become counter-productive. Because when we finally do have VR goggles that we can afford, we’re going to want even prettier places to walk around in. We’ll need new 4K or even 8K resolution displays shrunk down to the size of a playing card in front of our eyes, along with higher frame rates, immediate response times, and an order of magnitude improvement in the visual department–especially animation.
There's only so much work you can put into a hugeass world.

>>342434154

>>342435312
A balance between the two will be possible because there won't be the 360/ps3 to hold it back. New consoles aren't great, but if they achieved what they did developing the game on older consoles, then i'm sure VI can be better in every way.
>>342437058
>GTA is better when you start out like a small time punk and make it big
ftfy
>>342434154
I think it's fun. it's way better than all the other gtas simply becassue of the updated graphics and game mechanics. I mean sure, they story isn't as good as IV but, i don't play for the story. it's an open world game where you can live out your vices. and they even brought first person and it rules. best FP in a video game in a long time. sure the online is down the tube because of modders and kids, but it's like a whole new campaign. so many missions, some sweet ass heists and all updates/add ons ARE FREE!! you really can't complain with this game.
and how could it be forgotten, it just came out with a new add on. Just beacuse the losers are /v/ doesn't talk about it doesn't mean its dead. the only thing dead are /v/s opinions....other than mine ;)

>>342434154
Because they totally abandoned the single player for shilling online stuff. There hasn't been a single thing added to not-online except the cars, which you can't even obtain in singleplayer without cheating. Imagine the shitstorm they'd have stirred up if they had a season pass.
>>342437370

That's a good thing, because Franklin was the the most boring of the three protagonists.
>>342437058
Thats bullshit
I rather want to start of as a businessman or drug trafficker
As a product it is actually really good.
As a game it isn't fun.
>>342437563
No, it's not. its my two cents. I feel as though the game plays better than 4. sure, I have good memories of the older titles, but five is better than the rest, hands down end of. you guys are just living in nostalgic times.
>>342437642
Apparently in the newest GTAO update you can start an empire but I haven't touched that shit in months, the updates came way too late.
>>342437592
oh, in that case yeah they're fucking absurd. after waiting 5 minutes to get into the game I have no interest in playing. doesn't help that I have to download 65 gigs too for a slightly upgraded version of a Xbox 360 game that was 18 gigs at most
Biggest problem is the map. Not in size or content, but how it's spaced out. It's just city to hills to desert then back around and it doesn't even do this in an interesting fashion. It's just one big loop around Mt. Chilliad once you leave LS.
That and no BoGT-tier DLC. Rockstar must be printing money selling virtual dollars on GTA:O and decided single player DLC is just too much effort.
Stopped playing when I got to Trevor because he was fucking annoying.
>>342434154
Open world games have run their course. San Andreas released at a time where we were still having fun with them. By the time GTAV came out.... meh. I never cared for it to begin with.
>>342434154
Because it sold more off of hype than cause of the actual quality of the product a la fallout 4. In that its not really a bad game or anything just a real let down as to what could have been.
>>342437710
Graphically yes, and car customization is nice, but everything else is worse than at least one of the prior games, ie physics downgraded from 4 and not as much player freedom as in SA. For what fucking purpose was there a 5 minute long invincibility cheat? Why would I only want that for 5 fucking minutes?
Just wait until the next GTA for a real opinion on V. People just love to shitpost.
>>342435419
This is objectively false. I run heists almost everyday. Ransoms are plenty. Your internet might be shit.
>>342434154
>release free new content
>its only available online and requires hundreds of hours of playing to afford unless you want to pay real money
>>342434154
They focused so much on GTAO and GTAO sucked dick for how much effort they have put into it.
I hope next gta doesn't have multiplayer or it's a side feature.
>>342437258
i'm talking about the fact that GTA games that don't take place in liberty city are boring.
>>342438005
A lot of people shitpost ironically but I was super disappointed by this game. I played GTA IV all summer before V came out and remember feeling a sense of panic when of footage of the shitty physics engine and lack of interesting cheats started leaking.
>>342434154
>Why is GTA 5 so much worse than San Andres
You can't meme about 5 the way you can about SA.
>>342435414
which ideas did IV introduce, bowling and fuck all to do in the world?
IV introduced this realism cancer that sucked all the entertainment out of GTA. Remember when you had missions where you raided a moving train using a jetpack? No you get to eat shit, drive this slow ass truck for the mob, that's as exciting as it gets.
>>342436446
The game starts as Michael's story, though. The catalyst for the heisting and shit comes from him, too. I think Franklin gets the ending choice because the devs knew it would encourage people to pick the deathwish option.
First GTA then MGS, what is it with games being V that makes them disappointments?
>>342434978
>other guy
Shit, I'm black but Michael was a cool character. Trevor was the shit character. A Michael and Franklin story of teacher and student bank robbers would have been way better.
>>342437787

Online is shit. Yet the underagers love it and splash cash on it
>>342437258
yeah but even in that mission you're still a hood nigga. just a hood nigga with a jetpack not SPECOPSTHELINEARRGH milfag
>>342436312
I hated how they have properties in singleplayer, but they're completely and utterly worthless. No missions, nearly impossible to make a return on them. Stupid, I really hope the next GTA brings back proper properties, it was such a great aspect of Vice city and to a lesser extent SA.
>>342438158
>i'm talking about the fact that GTA games that don't take place in liberty city are boring.
>they tried to do too much, GTA is better when you feel like a small time punk, not when you're playing Navy SEAL and breaking into underground laboratories. fighting PMCs and shit, it was just too epic for its own good.
Apparently you're not. What kind of simpleton are you?
>>342438271

>>342437864
Trevor is hilarious.
>>342437947
Are implying that Fallout 4 isn't a bad game only a let down?
>>342438497
4 was good shit, what the fuck? You fags aren't GTA fans. Every GTA since 3 has been good in it's own way.
who would have thought The Last of Us would have more staying power than GTAV?
>>342434154
SA broke new ground, it gave us a map that was positively fucking massive compared to earlier games, it introduced stats, gangs and gang war systems (even if they were shit) and a bunch of other stuff.
GTAV didn't really do anything new (except character swapping), it just refined what already existed, and actually went backwards in some areas. The only noteworthy thing in GTAV is full multiplayer but that seems to be focused on a different audience.
>>342438601
4 sucked but the Far Harbor DLC was good. Somehow they make a DLC that's better than the core game. Bethesda man...
>>342438157
GTAO is the next step, mark my words it will not be GTA 6 but GTAO 6 the online has overtaken the actual game.
You always have the modding community though.
>>342434154
>already forgotten

game is still retail a success even at this day
>>342434154
GTAV is a fantastic game with tons of detail honestly. It's far better than any other entry in the series you're just blinded by nostalgia.
>>342438497
You did that because you were a stupid child who can't see past one optional mission.
>>342435716
Fucking this.
>>342438658
I don't get why they got rid of the stats from SA. Getting buff or fat was amazing. Actually added a little roleplaying to the game.
I don't get why they ever removed it.
>>342438459
3 and 4 have that small time punk vibe to them.
I enjoyed GTA V a million times more than IV. My nostalgia tells me that Vice City was the best and that III was great, but I haven't played either in at least a decade. If R* didn't go complete jew and focus on shitty GTAO and selling people jewbux for the overpriced shit, I'd still be playing the game. It's fucking criminal that we will never get DLC on par with Gay Tony, which was the best thing about GTA IV.

Hell id say its their biggest GTA yet
>>342438610
>4 was good
Nah it was dull as fuck. I had to force myself to finish that turd. It easily has the worst, most mundane missions of the entire series. Go there and drive your cousin to play bowling. Now drive this bitch to a clothing store. Fuck that boring shit.
>>342438714
You're probably right. I wish you weren't but I know it's going to happen just based on all the support they have put into GTAO and with zero real content for the single player.
Watch the next red dead be an online game.
>>342438882
Vice City has great atmosphere and radio, but SA improved on VC in just about every way, just replayed them both recently.
>>342438934
I'll give you that, it did have some stupid ass missions but it was no worse than 5 and San Andreas.
>>342434154
funny part for me is that it is STILL in the top 10 sellers in steam
HOW DOES THIS GAME KEEP SELLING
HOW ARE PEOPLE WHO STILL DON'T OWN THIS GAME ON STEAM
I just don't understand how a game can keep selling so consistently for so fucking long
I liked the story sort of. Loved the characters. It's just after I finished the game I really didn't feel like playing it anymore. There's only so long you can go around shooting people and blowing shit up before you get bored.
Really wish they would have focused on single player DLC more than online.
Crashing into cars felt less satisfying imo.
Did they ever tell us what that mystery meant with the jetpack and those symbols? I got the UFO car but never found a jetpack or anything.

It's pretty good, the amount of missions is underwhelming a bit, I don't like the black character, he feels forced, other than that, pretty good. If they wanted to do a token black character, they should've made him an old friend of the other two.

Nope, San Andreas and V have better missions.
The only mission in IV that didn't feel like a slog was the last one where you chase a helicopter with a bike, the rest was thug simulator boredom. They fixed the shitty missions with Gay Tony but it was too little too late.

The GTA name is too big to fail at this point, like a lot of series, so it wasn't actually critiqued for anything because journocucks are subhuman children. The biggest letdown for me was the mission structure, especially towards the end, because they somehow made "drive there and kill those guys" boring as fuck.

Not just in that, mechanically it's a lot improved. Cars handle better, can control the camera in the car, car despawning not as bad, better gunplay, better visuals, missions more complex.

It's just different. This happens with every series that goes in a different direction. People don't like change, but people love to bitch when shit gets mundane. Gta 4 was super into its story and the missions reflected that. You were just a guy trying to get by in small time criminal activity. It's not my favorite gta but it's still really fucking good. Anyone that calls it awful is either hyperbolizing or just trying to get a reaction.
Go look at every mgs 5 thread. That game wasn't even finished but it was easily stronger than the last 2 entries in its series, but since it was so different from what they were used to they shout it down and call it awful.

Even IV is better than V. V is the worst game in the series. Nothing to do with nostalgia.
>>342441562
>not GTA V(R)
You had one job rockstar
>>342441794
to be fair, at least V had more colors than brown and gray
>>342441007
I was being sarcastic you dense fucc
You fags have shit taste, I'll go to sleep ttyl

MGS5 was definitely not stronger than 4. You know, that game with the beginning, middle, and ending? And boss fights? And thought out level design? And characters with personalities? Don't make me laugh.
>>342434154
The map was too big for its own good. Condensed content within a modest size like San Andreas was what made it memorable.
>>342442096sorry :_;
>>342440237
I want forced multi-player in single player games to stop. If they wanted to make an online GTA game, it should of been a separate game entirely.
>>342442161
San Andreas was huge for a PS2 game, moderate my ass. People just liked it more than V's map because it was more diverse.
>>342434154

u wat m8
>>342434154
This game has been in the news since last year. It was relevant for the longest time.
Still one of the most played games on PC and consoles even today. Check for yourself.
>>342434154
>already forgotten
To who? People with short attention span and bad memories?
>>342439402
Gay Tony was some good shit. At least we agree on that.
>>342434154
You're full of shit, it isn't already forgotten, boot up the online right fucking now and i gurentee theres a room with 20-30 niggas fighting over some hilarious ass shit.
Fuck off with these missleading threads, do you really think the majority of /v/ is that retarded?
Of course a good chuck of the fags on this board are aware that the game is still extremely popular but they'll take any chances they'll get to shit post about it simply because it is so successful.
Just fuck off op

online was a mistake.
>>342434154
Instead of letting people have fun with the game they send them cease and desist letters and tell them to buy cash cards for GTA Online which is not even a fraction of how good SA MP was
I felt the whole heist thing was a bit formulaic, it was basically do missions so you can do missions that allow you to do heists.
The heists were fun but after that the story kinda sorta didn't go anywhere, and then at the end suddenly you're taking down 3 guys who you really aren't that invested in taking down compared to someone like big smoke and tenpenny.
Basically it felt like GTA5 was too ambitious and they stretched themselves thin
>>342434154
all r* games are forgettable
>>342443457
t. contrarian
Reminder that Chinatown Wars was the last proper GTA game and consequently the last fun GTA game.
>>342441706
People still play SA online you fucking fag.

It hasn't been forgotten though. It's certainly crap compared to the previous titles of course:
>>Online was shit. Bad lobbies, constant empty servers, too easy to cheat, etc
>>Rockstar treated the mod community like shit
>>Private server projects were all shut down, despite the success of community-developed multiplayer for previous titles, eg. San Andreas and Vice City. Rockstar bullied private server creators (even going to their house in person in some cases), even the ones who weren't hosting servers. It should be noted that making an emulator without any profit or service hosting is entirely legal providing you aren't using someones copyright or trademark in the process.
San Andreas runs brilliantly, is over-flowing with mods that Rockstar DIDN'T try to stop you from using, has a community-made multiplayer that doesn't suck, and didn't sell out to the whole "pay $$$ to win the game" e-credit bullshit.
That whole "pay for credit to get stuff in-game" route is the poison that's ruined GTA. Not because it gives any particular advantage, but because it's the ONLY reason they treated people like shit when they wanted to play with mods online, or when they wanted to make private servers. As soon as they realized that people wanted to have their own custom experience in online, Rockstar shat their-selves because something more fun and appealing was going to pop up, that would pull away from the appeal of spending money to get in-game credits.
GTA 5 could've been perfect if they'd focused on what's been keeping their older titles alive, but instead they just tried to make the quickest dollar.
>>342444657
To be fair here it wasn't really Rockstar who was issuing the cease and desist to modders, it was Take Two from what I've heard.
>>342444953
Eh. Take Two / Rockstar. The publisher has so much influence over them it barely matters which one did the cease and desist these days.
I have my problems with GTA V but it was fun and I enjoyed my time with it.
>>342434154
Nostalgia. San Andreas was overrated even back then. Literally, I see almost no valid complaints against GTA V other than vague "it doesn't feel the same" or "it has no heart" statements. Pure nostalgia statements with no value.
San Andreas was GTA III rehashed for the third time, with the same terrible shooting and driving and boring ass reskinned pizza delivery side missions that were already moldy when it released. GTA V has better shooting, better driving, better atmosphere, a better fleshed out world, more polished minigames, roaming wildlife, actual multiplayer, more lively npcs and on and on. But no matter how good it is, it can't rewind time to when you were 12 years old so it's shit.
Fight me.
>>342434154
>GTAV
>already forgotten
Except theres still a shitton of people buying and playing. Check steam.
Also Rockstar been releasing content every month I think.
so I have a question is there anything at all that this game does better than other games on the market?
when I think of GTA V few things come to mind blandness, shallowness
If I wanted to play a good racing game I'd play Forza Horizon 2
If I wanted to play a good shooter well I wouldn't even consider GTA V
If I wanted a good story again not really this game's strength
If I wanted open world game again GTA V is basically empty world aka how not to do open world in a game
Maybe as an action game to fuck around for a bit but still it really lacks any focus
>>342443263
This, half of the stuff is bogged down by sheer stupidity. Like the recent VIP stuff, you can't even do some of that stuff unless you're in a public lobby, and if people are in their hideouts already, you can't get in, which I think there is a pathetic cap of "2 hideouts active at a time".
You can't even destroy other people's cars without having to fork over money, which is dumb.
The biggest problem with GTAO though are the players themselves, they're just shitbags all around.
>>342443457
yeah, pretty much
>>342448050
GTA is pretty much its own genre at this point, thats why GTA Clones are still a thing
A game that wants to be much more
>>342448050
>basically empty world aka how not to do open world in a game
So what's an example of a good open world to you? I never understood the "empty" argument, I fucking hate that GTA V has no gambling or Vigilante but if I booted it up right now I could definitely go find something to do, whether by map marker or imagination.
To answer your question, I like V in particular because the combination of Franklin's power and sticky bombs make its cop chases the most fun, even if the AI isn't the fairest. I go back to SA sometimes because I like recruiting homies and driving around Balla territory.
>>342442115
>Over the top anime tier schlock with fa fiction tier writing.
Not even the original anon. But you're delusional if you think that garbage is good.
I love how something being "forgotten" is now the go-to response so contrarian memers can pretend something that was universally successful by every fucking standard was a failure
>The Force Awakens was forgotten!!!!
>GTA V was forgotten !!!!!!
>MGSV was forgotten!!!!
>No one talks about them anymore even though we have threads about all three multiple times a day every day!!!!
jesus fuck, i hate GTA V but shut the FUCK up nigger
>>342434154
My brother bought the game recently, I played a good 100 or 200 hours pirated already, is it worth it to family share it and play online or is it dead?
/v/ literally calls every game "already forgotten" after a few months once another game comes out and discussion naturally runs it course
They took everything out of IV that made it fun(fist fights, going into buildings, the cool physics) and half arsed with what made SA good, I feel like everything was centered around Online, why everything is so fast paced.
Why do the protagonists keep getting worse?
Niko was at least fun to play as and I liked the whole Balkan flavor to him.
>>342434154
- no content
- shit side characters
- online paywall
not hard
>>342434154
GTA III is remembered because it continued thriving because it was the most advanced thing brazilian toasters could play.
GTAV multiplayer was forgotten because it was replaced by better multiplayer games almost immediately. That and GTA multiplayer has always been shit. It's the multiplayer equivalent of fapping to gifs because you can't download webms fast enough and videos are out of the question.
>>342434154
It was boring.
San Andreas perfectly captured the early 90s with a narrative about the Blood/Crip wars. It was a nostalgia trip when it came out.
>>342438312
>the devs knew it would encourage people to pick the deathwish option.
Pfffft, fuck that. I straight up murdered that LOLSORANDUMB XD!!!!111 fuckstick that is Trevor. Dude had it coming to him the moment he was introduced.
I didn't even finish it.
The missions are boring, it takes forever to get a mission, and you don't even get paid so forget about buying stuff.

Get GTA 5 and play campaign. Get ready for online play,
"oh it'll be awesome stealing cars and suping them up and doing missions with other players"
Find nice car, steal it. "You are not high enough level to steal this car". " it'll cost you 5 billion to add a spoiler and another 3 billion to change the paint colour"
Fuck GTA 5 online.
>>342434154
just like every gta
people play them on and off when you just want to fuck around and blow some shit up
>>342434154
Because the multiplayer was literally just gtaIV mp with a carrot on a stick progression system. It only appeals to cod kiddies and Normie's and there's no emergent gameplay.
>>342434154
Cars too slow (buggati topping out at 140mph lmao)
Shitty handling and ultra-responsive steering (subs handle like gocarts, etc.)
When they fix the handling meta i'll play online
Untill then, modded sp is for me
