Why not release it on Switch while the game is still hot?

Nintendo should've reached out to them and convinced them somehow to release it. If it sold 3+ million, which I'm sure it will if released early this year, it will set a strong bases for future GTAs on the system.

Well there are some solid indications that game will come to Switch.

Yeah, talk about a missed opportunity.

I think it will come to Switch this year though. Maybe revealed in the next Direct.



massive sales. this beast wont stop selling. 15 million in 2017 alone is crazy. i wonder how much the PS4 version is at. 20 million? more?

It's a good game, no doubt but I also think that the game is not the best in the series.

Also where's my singleplayer DLC?

Agreed. It clearly has the best MP for a GTA game but I don't think the SP missions are as memorable as in other GTA games and that's the most important thing for me personally. Furthermore, I hope that GTA6 will let you play as a single character and make switching between characters optional.

And I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of SP DLC as well.

eh I think the switch between the characters was the best addition in the game. The problem were the characters.
I only really liked Michael, as he was a well done and interesting character. I always like playing his missions as they mostly involved his family, with each of them being fun to watch. All of them great.

Franklin is just too boring and generic. He's got an annoying asshole friend, stupid ex-girlfriend, his auntie who rarely appears and his dog who doesn't do all that much either.

Trevor is entertaining, sure but he's such a big asshole that he comes of as unlikeable, which is probably the worst you could ask from a protagonist. I hate him. Also many of his missions suck, mostly because his home area, Sandy Shores sucks.

Then you are completely correct about the missions. They are nothing special. It boggles my mind that so many are okay with this but kept shitting on GTA4's mission design back in the day. They aren't any better. In fact, I enjoyed the missions in GTA 4 more than here. Heists being the exception. They are great, but make up only a fraction of the game.
Mission design in GTA V is often times so bad that when you start a mission, you have to drive 5 miles (in some cases up to 10 miles) to get to the point of interest and when you're finished, you have to drive all the way back just to finish the mission. Useless filler that makes the game appear longer than it is.

Game world isn't that interesting either. I really don't care about anything north of the Vinewood Hills. Paleto Bay is alright though.



PORT IT TO SWITCH! PRETTY PLEASE

Yep, just give me a SA remake, a modernised SA would be GOTY.



Way overtracked here.

Also congrats Rockstar, with so many game options PS4 and Xbox1 gamers still run to your okish sandbox with mediocre activities.

We reap what we sow

I have it on PS3 and PS4. Not much of a multiplayer guy, but was pretty interested in it until I read up a bit on how it actually works. Seems like it could be a crap experience for newcomers. Really enjoyed the single player.

I'm sure Nintendo is a little nervous on the media if it comes to Switch. No one cares about a small DS game that is top down (proven when nobody cared about the first 3 top down games), but when this comes to a home console media picks up on it. Especially Nintendo, "Nintendo is getting the super-violent Grand Theft Auto to the kid friendly Switch". Sounds terrible, I can't remember when Nintendo had a realistic criminal simulator on their console...

There's less money in it than what they been doing with the online portion. That's your answer right there. I'm legit worried about the future of the series.
