re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
I am not massively impressed to be honest. I have been driving around trying to find the fun. The missions are the same as the missions in the previous GTAs and I have instead been trying to find the fun randomness but, again, it's the same as before. It's a very good game, well executed, well presented and well imagined but I just feel like I have done this all before...
Help me find the fun! |
re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
It depends what you deem to be fun? There is golf, tennis, yoga, triathlons? But they are just generic game in games, but as you said it's well executed.
But I just found driving around was pretty fun. I just spot a car and I decide that it might be fun to drive that car up a mountain? Or Drive into a petrol station and jump out at the last minute (and try not to get killed). It's not the biggest or most immersive open world game, but it's slick and the graphics are good so you can forgive it's flaws a bit easier. However I think the make of break for this game is going to be GTA Online. I am liking the sound of GTA:O with the group heists and robberies, also passive mode looks to be a nice touch just to go cruising or help people out. But I am hoping that there is just a big old classic death match option like the good old days. |
re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
I don't understand, We've done all this before in previous GTA's? whilst the general gameplay in the same, the missions and features are not even close to previous entries. When did we last drop a sub in the middle of the ocean from a helicopter? I get that some of missions will feel similar as it's a sequel but how's that different from any other sequel. Call of Duty and Mass Effect ran with the same thing for multiple years yet I've never seen anyone call Mass Effect out for it. In fact there's pretty much every sequel. Assassins Creed and so on.
As for GTA online being the make or break point, that doesn't matter now, they've sold a ridiculous amount of the game breaking every record in it's path. $1 Billion in 3 days. |
re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
Yes commercially it has been a success.
But when I mean hinges on GTA:O I mean it's long term legacy. Look at GTAIV. I loved that game at the time. But once it was finished there was bugger all to do. I did play a lot online which kept me in Liberty City, but there was very little to do there. Levelling up was basic compared to other XP focussed online games. Other games will have done the Co-Op before and I am sure they will have done it a lot better than R* However considering there is already a slump in attitude to GTAV after the initial hype, I think that GTA:O will be the lynch pin in defining how it is viewed in 5 years time. Whilst they say GTA:O is a separate entity, it's based in Los Santos so until they expand on that world it will be linked to GTAV. |

Mass Effect is mostly a story driven game and gets away with it. GTA story and characters aren't on par, it's the only real weakness of the game but as I find the missions repetitive it's one which holds me back.

I think there is an element of the Emperor's New Clothes about it. Review after review raving about it but in time I think it will be seen as less important or novel than GTA 4. I think Last of Us should win best game this year too. |
re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
Blimey the game is a bit short, I didn't expect it to end that quickly. :(
Overall I enjoyed it but also disappointed. It was way too easy this time, there wasn't a single taxing moment in the entire game. |
re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
If you steal a car where the police can see you, in ANY GTA game, you get a wanted star.
That person who reviewed the it has obviously never scratched the surface of a GTA game. Now, while I imagine that The Last of Us is great and all, I personally feel a platform exclusive game should be exempt from any GOTY award |

I could of course go on and on but I won't. People play sequels because they really enjoy the games. All sequels are the same at heart. More of the same and more of what people like with better graphics and more features. Sometimes sequels can get it wrong however, trying too hard to improve and find ways of making more money. I am only at 20% on GTA V so far and am still loving it. As much as I love the game I don't have the time nor want to get fed up with the game so am making sure I am taking my time and not rushing through it. I love just exploring and finding all the fun things and funny references or spoof company names. The Liquor store is great. 'Liquor Hole' hehehe :D |
re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
Indeed. I've had wanted stars several times due to carjacking. Sometimes due to cops being near by, sometimes due to the car owner phoning the cops themselves (so now, of course, I always make sure I leave no witnesses behind ;) ).
As for it being more of the same etc. etc. Sure, if you boil it down to its basic level. But the same can be said of any franchise game, or any games within the same genre as each other, if you really want to simplify it. But it is so much more than GTA IV... It's bigger, more varied, has better characters, better story. There've been some awesome missions for each character on their own and as a team. I've hijacked a cargo plane by flying a cropduster into the open ramp in mid air, driven out of another cargo plane on an ATV and skydived, piloted choppers and planes, rappelled down a building, parachute jumped onto the top of a mountain and then raced a push bike down the side, carried out assassinations and manipulated the stock market, and much more. The multi-character aspect also makes it far better. The narrative works better than GTA IV because your characters have different missions tailored to their different skills, and get to follow their own path plus hook up regularly. The switching is brilliantly implemented, enabling you to flit between characters when they're doing their solo missions, and to switch *in mission* when doing team jobs. The ones where you play as two or three of them together are so well done, switching one to another to another, doing different parts of each heist. There's just so much to do... I can spend hours just messing around, without touching a mission. Steal a fighter jet and go rampaging around the city from the air, use sticky bombs to blow up multiple cop cars and then spend ages being chased with a 5* wanted level. Or maybe do the actual activities or random encounters scattered around, the sports, the jobs, the hitchhikers, the armoured trucks, etc. etc. I can see myself spending far more time on this than I did on GTA IV. |

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
Again none of them have had this level of hype around them. This is, at best, a slightly better version of GTA IV. Again this is a good game, it deserves to seen as a solid, well-executed, sequel to GTA IV. It doesn't belong in a list of the greatest games of all time, it doesn't deserve to tbe game of the year. Neither of this are big marks against it but that's the yardstick by which I measure it.
I'll keep playing it, at least until Beyond Two Souls comes out, and it will always be Grand Theft Auto. It's just I came into this expecting it to be something else, something amazing and game changing like playing the PS2 versions. To be honest I don't think GTA IV was as good as the PS2 versions. GTA III was amazing, Vice City used atmosphere in a way I hadn't seen, San Andreas was a crystallization of those two breakthroughs. Since then I think they've played it safe. Good games, but not innovative or different. Last Of Us is a example of this. It changes what you expect from games and raises the standard for everyone else. GTA used to do that. |
re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
Well personally GTA V is high on my list of best games of 2013, beaten by Tomb Raider, Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3.
I couldn't compare this to GTV IV. there is just so much to this game and many fresh new things. Three main characters and intertwining story is one of the highlights. ---------- Post added at 21:15 ---------- Previous post was at 21:12 ---------- Quote:

This is an incremental improvement. A larger map, more characters, more missions. More of the same. One you stripe away the scale it's curiously empty of depth. I do think this will become a more accepted view once the dust has settled. Look at the revisionist opinions of GTA IV as a very good game but not the groundbreaking epic it was hailed as, this will happen here because they haven't radically changed it. They added more of it. We'll have to wait and see about GTA: Online. That could change things but until then I maintain the same opinion of it. |

Trevor has some great moments when you switch to him.
On one, he was throwing a member of Lost MC off a bridge. On another, he was underneath a pier, tying some poor guy to one of the beam things so he'd drown when the tide came in. "... And that, my friend, is why you shouldn't be rude to strangers." ----------- Lots of new info from Rockstar about next week's GTA Online: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswir...to-online.html Sounds brilliant :D |

hi all - so I'm a GTA fan and so far since GTAO was released a few hours ago, I'm stuck! I know RS said there were going to be some sticky moments.... however after creating my genealogically created self-rep and after a quick race with Lamar I'm stuck with my character nearly loaded...but with a soft focus haze over the camera... but being able to hear the world around me.
Anyone else getting this? |
re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
There are concerns whether Rockstar will be able to cope with servers for GTAO: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24335528
"unprecidented demand" combined with a lack of experience in the online genre could make for some issues? |
re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
logging out and back in again you get the below error:
"The Rockstar cloud servers are unavailable right now. Only disc content will be available and saving will be disabled." So those planning on rushing home after work, no need... it's going to be a bumpy few days/week.... as we can all appreciate why and i'm sure the majority will sympathise with RS, me included. Cause once the load-balancing and sufficient 'servers' are in place, GTAO will be awesome! :) ---------- Post added at 14:59 ---------- Previous post was at 14:58 ---------- So...whilst we wait is there going to be a NTHW/CF Crew? |

I joined the BXB Crew in anticipation of GTA Online, but I've just checked and it seems you can be in up to five different Crews - you just need to pick an active one, so you can flit from working for one Crew to another and back again if you want. As such, I've just created an NTHW / CF Crew here: http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/nthellworld I've sent you a Social Club friend request and a Crew invite. Any other CF members who plan to play GTA Online: Add me on the Social Club if you don't have me already - http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/mister_tez ... and on Xbox Live - https://live.xbox.com/en-GB/Profile?...g=Tezcatlipoca ... and then ask in here if you'd like an invite to the Crew :) |

It's probably not worth bothering until next week at the earliest. I could see some of my friends playing deathmatch last night but before long they were signing back into xbox live.
Some of the net code must be crap, ie: when you get stuck waiting for a session during the tutorial race the game just locks up and you have to quit out to the dashboard. Annoying. |
re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
I got in quite easily last night and was able to go through the turorial, do a few death matches and some retrieval missions.
I haven't seen any heist options yet though :/. I was on it for a good couple of hours with no problems |
