>Gta 5 Map is bigger than RDR, SA and GTA IV maps put together
>still feels smaller
What
>>334623317
You're a nostalgia fag
RDR alone feels larger
>>334623317
It feels smaller because there is NOTHING to do, at least in Sp.
And GTAO is grinding shit.
It's bigger but there are giant mountains that have nothing on them, and then the giant sea that had absolutely nothing of interest as well. Those things take of a ton of space and you probably rarely go to either.
More open areas
GTA Vs map has a whole lot of nothing on it though, you're much better off only comparing the main city
>>334623317
Vvardenfall is pretty tiny, but due to the travel speed / layout it feels much larger than it is.
It's not just the size that makes a map feel large.
>>334623317
Easier to get around?
>>334623517
That's because you're on horseback
>>334623317
It's not just about size, travel speed and view distance play a big part in how large it feels.
>>334623517
Because you're on a horse
I never bothered to explore that GTA V map, it's just such a fucking dull game and has an awful atmosphere. I especially hate the ambient music that plays when you turn the radio off
>>334623317
it feels smaller because you probably take taxis to get to far away places instead of driving like the faggot that you are
>>334623598
This. There's really no reason to get out of your car.
No journey, no destination. I played it on acid and realized in a few minutes that the game was a loop of
>get in car
>cause chaos
>wreck
>die or get in another car
and promptly never played it again.

Haven't touched online yet but probably will Because I'm a trophy fag. Is it really that bad?

V had so much empty space on the map it's not even funny. Like what was even the point of that mountain.
It's because there's no balance to it.
In SA, you had 3 cities that were individually small, but they spaced them out with desert and backcountry to size out the map. In V, you've got one big city in the south and bumfuck nothing up north besides a few tiny crossroads.
Same with RDR, they interspersed the empty areas with settlements and spaced out the larger towns. GTAIV was pretty much all city, but at the very least had a few long streets to fuck around on and some fun back alleys.

The world in V isn't perfect but it's a lot better in iv
But maybe that's because driving in iv sucks so much ass.
>>334625035
Better than sorry
I haven't seen about half of the GTA5 map because the display stuttering while trying to drive makes the game unplayable
>>334625035
driving felt weird at first but was much more satisfying after getting used to it
>>334623428
This. It's easily much bigger but you've got quick ways to travel across it without the island walls that would slow you down before.
Not to mention the under water exploration.
>>334625273
was there anything under water to explore?
>>334625450
Collecting shit mostly. Personally underwater areas scare the shit out of me so it seems endless to me.
>>334624385
you need to put hundreds of hours in it if you want to get a platinum
>>334624117
>you can actually see Ebonheart very well when you're in Seyda Neen with graphix mods installed
Not seeing farther than 10m away from you also helped making the map feel immense.
>>334625895
This is why I don't understand MGE's default settings. 5 cells is way too far for Morrowind. 2-3 is the sweet spot.

Because there is nothing to do except same old GTA crap, made even worse in HD Universe by adding physics and reality and sheeit instead of leaving it to be arcade

Never played any mods for SA ... what 'saved it' outside of those autistic MP mods?
>>334623517
You're on horseback in a largely empty desert, with a much, much lower view distance.
>>334628235
>you have to actively seek out empty areas because the map is chock full of content
woooow

>ge had to use mods to enjoy gta sa
