GTA fans think GTA is the be all end all. Good series yes, but not as good as they want to believe. Over confidence is never a good thing.,


The games are great, but overrated since GTA IV got a 98 on meta (while it deserved probably a 90-92) and GTA V is more like a 92-94 game. Why? Both of them aren't as good as San Andreas. That was the pinnacle of GTA, the sheer size and variety of the city. GTA IV city is bland and, while GTA V one is huge, you only have Los Santos and some minor regions with few people. GTA SA was when you could leave Los Santos, ride a long way and go to Las Venturas, a completely different place.

Totally agree, they actually had good stories too but V is the worst, the story was not good at all, the only thing impressive was the scale, the rest of the game to me wasn;t that greta to be honest.

 

The thing that drives me about GTA, the whole game is about money, but money is useless. After you buy some companies there is nothing to do with them, and no benefit really. THey added a bunch of things like the stock maret being able to invest but it is just an excuse to have something to spend monmey on, once you buy them then what? The whole economy in GTA is broken.



Around the Network

Because it has?



I just have to tip my hat to GTA5 tho since they spent 1/4billion dollars making it the gigantic and incredible game that it is, that said it is just an addition to a game series which already exists and is huge, like.... as a game on it's own it is the game of the gen for sure... but in terms of what it added to its own franchise after GTA3 on the ps2 and GTA4 on the ps360 earlier this gen... it just didn't rock peoples worlds in the same massive way.
If anything the hype for GTA5 was what took from it as a game, people expected the world from it... and got what they expected. It was great but that wasn't a surprise to anyone. If that makes sense lol.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Really? That's a first. After the release of GTA V all I heard people say was how TLOU is a superior video game. I for one love, adore, admire both video games and if I were to pick GTA V would slightly edge of TLOU.
