with that being said, it's a good game, just very overrated. It does some things very well and obviously had a lot of care put into it. It's sort of the last of a dying breed of AAA games, it still has some edge and soul and character to it. The city is just so insanely detailed and just has that autistic attention to detail that R* is known for. It's basically a game that could never exist today.
The Lost and Damned is pretty damn bad, but Gay Tony fixes a lot of the issues and is way better than the base game.
4 has higher highs but much lower lows; 5 is just an overall better game.
For GTAO, it's no contest, 5 absolutely blows it away and has some really great heists that are a ton of fun with a competent crew. Going for all the CMM challenges was genuinely some of the most fun I've had in gaming and somehow the Casino Heist never got old despite the fact that I probably ran it with randoms probably 100+ times. There is also a huge variety of businesses and it's fun learning each one and slowly growing your empire so to speak. And then once you finally get bored of grinding, you can do PvP and griefing, both of which 5 excels in. PvP and cargo griefing are both very satisfying with a very high skill ceiling. I just love the open-ended sandbox cat and mouse style of it.
Controls, physics, and graphics all hold up -- arguably better than most [current year] goyslop. Story is probably the best in the series if you like slower-paced and somewhat more grounded stuff (for GTA anyway).
If you're playing on PC, you can extend the life of it infinitely. Tons of scripts that have the potential to add so much to the game.
>controls ... hold up - arguably better than most current year goyslop
No way you're fricking serious. GTA IV has some of the absolute most garbage tier gunplay and movement.
Even the driving is pretty bad, with every car controlling like they are barge with loose suspension. You turn a corner going 20 mph and your fricking bumper is scraping the ground. A sports car should not handle in a similar method to a giant utility truck. GTAV has much better differentiation between car types, while every car in GTA IV just feels like similar sluggish dogshit.
Yes
It's fiiiiiine.
Just install the fixes.
what essential mods?
what fixes
Fusion fix + DXVK
even more reason to play in our day and age
There's no trigger warnings, so be careful. You may be offended by radio commercials making fun of the trannies.
Nope. No game made more than 2 years ago is worth playing. Just keep shoveling in the goyslop
Still a masterpiece
its fine but the pc version still has problems so don't expect thing to go so smoothly, install fixes and mods to help you
>e-celeb makes a video about a game
>suddenly there are multiple threads about the game
Which e celeb are you talking about?
ShiShiShillmanlives
It never was.
>Open world game with 2 types of missions (Kill X, deliver Y)
Frick no.
>why does the driving and shooting game have driving and shooting in it
>first 5 minutes of the game plays like the last 5 minutes of the game and never develops past that
embarrasing
Honestly I always found 4 to be more enjoyable than 5. GTA5 went into an arcadey game design that just never gelled with me
Yes, but it's a more story focused game. If you don't care for stories in games much you probably won't enjoy it.

so which GTA are you talking about?
5
Almost none of those point apply to SA or V so..

Police are actually smarter in IV than in other GTA games and the wanted system leads to them finding you constantly if you're over two stars.
performance is as shit as always, gameplay is typical rockstar stuff everyone has played to death and you have to mod it to get the old music back
EINS ZWEI DREI
SCHICKE SCHICKE SCHWEINE
Still one of the games ever made
