Grand Theft Auto is one of the most successful gaming franchises in the universe (we know, we've checked). The most impressive thing about Rockstar's gangster 'em up though is how sustained its success has been.
It's not just a case of the latest being the greatest. As good as IV is, Grand Theft Auto has been a favourite among gamers since the top-down days of 1997.
Is it a prefect franchise? Hellz no! In fact, we've come up with a few improvements of our own for GTAV, if you don't mind.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.
I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.
Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:
- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2
I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.
Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.
I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.
I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.
But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5
Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.
With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.
I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.
Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder
One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
Manual gears, sounds silly, but y cant they do that 1 simple little thing?
Oh, and, i also wanna b able 2 hear MY own music (PS3) i can c me drivin, runnin people over listenin 2 this http://www.youtube.com/watc... BIG smile on my stoned lookin face
I want to see an actual good game.. GTA4 was shit. Poorly optimized, low res textures, shitty AF, no AA whatsoever, the most boring story of all the GTA games and probably the whole Rockstar library. Everything about GTA 4 makes me want to vomit. It definitely doesn't deserve the praise it got.
Hopefully Rockstar can regain my faith. I loved Vice City and San Andreas, but 4 was just an absolute mind fuck.
Hated the fact that people would keep ringing my cell to ask me if I want to go play pool or darts.
And more places to spend my money - I finished the game with allot of money and had no where to spend it.
Although I can't wait to hear an official word from Rockstar about GTA V, I don't think there is a need for GTA V wish list articles almost every week.
the targeting system was just bad, the combat mechanics awful, and the cover mechanics lame.
Even the controller mapping was messed up. A game shouldn't need to keep telling you which button does what 30 hours into playing it. (Thankfully there was an option to turn this off, but then sometimes the controls were extremely unintuitive.)
Other than the gameplay: everything else that was mentioned above. Better story, a main character that isn't a whiny bitch posing as a badass, more places to spend money, bigger world with rural areas, planes, etc. Oh, and most of all, FUN. GTAIV suffered from a severe lack of it. Not only because the gameplay was bad, but also because the missions were unimaginative and way too structured (they allowed for very, very little creativity in execution on the user's part, instead forcing us to play them out exactly as they were scripted--a stupid decision for a sandbox game), and because the overall tone of the game was too serious--and in a bad way. It's one thing to be serious, but this game tried too hard so it just fell on its face.
