W101 is a work of art.
GTA is a novelty jerk simulator.
In the Sessler review he says the map isn't as big as some GTA games but I thought it was supposed to be as big as SA, RDR and GTA put together. Are R* perhaps including the underwater locations too? Which is fine by me.
THE GTA CYCLE
HYPE HYPE HYPE --> REVIEWS GO LIVE -> 10/10 10/10 5/5 --> ONE YEAR LATER --> GAME WAS WAY OVERRATED, THE DRIVING SUCKS, FRUSTRATING MISSIONS --> GTA VI ANNOUNCED -->> OMG THIS WILLL BE THE BEST GAME EVER

You should watch some free roam footage. If that doesn't get you interested, I don't know what will.
This is the true sequel to San Andreas.

I hope you're right because I don't want to play what most of you consider art. It's usually boring shit like Journey that barely qualify as games.
Kamiya does games. Really good games.
Except this happened once.
There was also lots of hype for SA and Vice City and this sure as hell didn't happen for them.
Truth GTA IV Was Such A Disappointment.
"Yes, these are exaggerations of misogynistic undercurrents in our own society, but not satirical ones."
red dead and gta 4? fiasco? I guess I must have had the definitive version...since I had no problem with either game. red dead looked and played great.

I'm not for the parade of perfect scores that follows each gta game, but I am against reviewers who take a moral position it for being sexist, racist, politically incorrect etc and dock it points like the escapist review...

Destructoid has best review I've seen by far. Gave it 9/10 and listed lots of pros and cons and actually talked about gameplay. Said gun gameplay is still disappointing. Was hoping for a max payne 3 clone when it came to shooting mechanics because I loved everything about MP3's gunplay... But oh well, can't have everything...
Attempts have been made to improve the typically clunky combat, though to a less successful degree. The auto-targeting system is twitchy and unreliable, while cover mechanics still come off as dated and unwieldy.

San Andreas, GTA's biggest map, has about 14 square miles. GTA V has 49 square miles.. Not sure what Adam Sessler is talking about here.
I hope not, Take 2 is perfect. I hope it's Take Two or Take 2 2 or something if it comes to that.Oh dear, Take 3 incoming?
Whether he did or not GTAV just being a jerk simulator is A-OK in my book. Especially as SRIV was more Crackdown 3 but with writing you can actually enjoy. W101 when I want to play a nice fun game, GTAV when I want a wild sandbox that I may do some missions in.HA, have you even played both games?
Oh, it looks like I either misheard him or he's totally wrong. Thanks

GTA V has the most realistic kill deaths compared to most other games I've played.
That alone makes the game so worth it. I can't tell you how long i've waited for realistic deaths from guns.
That makes two of us. You drove around and killed people. It controlled nice, played nice, looked nice, sounded nice. What's not to like?Sometimes I feel like the only person that legitimately enjoyed GTA IV.
Review Thread III: DUB EditionOh dear, Take 3 incoming?
Wait, was there hype? Well, they did establish themselves with GTA1 & 2, but I'd expect the hype for that was more like the hype, say, Modern Warfare got versus MW2 or 3, or Black Ops.That's what I'm not understanding.
Was the hype for GTA 3 unwarranted? fuck no, it put forward a new genre...

Gamers expected it to be the second coming due to hyperbole-laced previews. Even now the backlash is egregious--at worst it was an 8/10 game and people throw around labels like 'awful'
Lol!
I cant think of a game more the opposite of journey than W101. Its a game entirely based around extremely deep and satisfying combat mechanics.

This is the most confusing post.I know, and I'm willing to bet like every platinum game that's all it has too.

I don't buy it. The entire game series is a satire almost top to bottom. Everything about the main characters is satirical. The mission design is an exercise in satire 99% of the time. Almost everything you do and interact with in those games has satirical elements. If that much isn't obvious to you from the get go then all is lost because for me it is so blatantly obvious that it doesn't require constant reinforcement. It is the rule of the story telling in the GTA series.
Still, the comments section is a hole where intellect goes to die like. Gamespot comments are as caveman as ever. Troglodytes. Almost all of them.
GTA is catered towards teenage white american males. Everyone else is a target for the hurtful jokes. That's what bothers people.
This is the most confusing post.
lol...I feel the same way usually, but they've actually improved the mechanics and everything from riding a bike to jumping out a plane actually looks pretty fun. I think the fact that the story won't hook me that much will always lower the score, but when it's all said and done, there's simply a lot to keep you busy for $60 if the gameplay is good, that's why I'm picking it up at least. A good GTA is like a good SF game, over the months, its fun to just pop it in and do random fun activities, this is why I'm personally excited about the improvement to mechanics. But once again disappointed about the violent/macho approach to the story, but at least it's not another "rags to riches"...I get that's what sells, but I wish R* would do a spin-off already, I'm getting too old to find this stuff humourous lol...With this game costing about 265m dollars I am not surprised of the moneyhats.
Also, why do I always have the feeling that this game always receives so much 10s across the board only because of the technical achievement and giant scope of the game?
Months later you always look back and shake your head about it because the story and narrative are cringe-worthy and the violent, conservative, macho, sometimes rascist and misogynic attitude of the game are despicable. Especially now the graphics this generation make it less cartoony (like last generation) and more realistic.
Although this is my personal opinion. I respect every other one's opinion.
