The worst part is that they just let everybody think the game would be modable, launched the game, 2M people bought it and then they blocked mods. They basically used it as selling point, removed and run away with people's money.
And critics still gave 97 to this game. Both GTA V and IV are average games that are a downgrade from San Andreas in several aspects:
- Cops are annoying. Try to drive to a mission 5KM away. You will accidentally hit someone and bam! Robocop is after you!
- Physics are s***. Any light crash and you will be thrown out of your car or fall of your bike. It wouldn't be a problem is it wasn't as impossible as it is to avoid crashing with the dumb NPCs.
- San Andreas on SA had Las Venturas, San Fierro and Los Santos, instead of a bigger Los Santos + Sandy Shores (???).
This game uses control schemes from the PS2 games. Most 3rd person games already upgraded to modern control schemes (Metal Gear!). The missions are repetitive. Mostly "drive this guy from A to B", "drive to A to B", "go to A and kill a guy", "steal car C". Same things over and over.
I'm not saying it's a bad game. It is good. But it is 85-89 good, no way near 97, as GTA IV isn't a 98 game.
