collision-enabled races suck rear end and are worthless but more people play those than anything else.

I forgot the multiplayer is actually interesting this time around. Are there any interesting mechanics on the single player game or is it still just provoking traffic jams and chain-exploding cars?

the interesting mechanics are the epic character-driven plot and the mother loving graphics you dumbass bitch

Well, that's more than enough for me! Story and graphics are the things I like the most in games, thanks, bye.

not every game can reinvent the wheel. sometimes it's okay for something to be the bigger, prettier version of an old idea. i don't know about GTA5, i haven't played those since the PS2 era.

I know, I know, I wasn't making some kind of criticism about gta 5, I'm just saying it's not that weir someone actually not being all that interested about the game.

counter example: in each civilization game the player does, in fact, reinvent the wheel.

GTA5 is a tremendous mechanical/gameplay improvement on GTA4, sometimes in ways which are new and sometimes in ways which are a return to what was good about Vice City and San Andreas (and lol if you think nobody should be deterred by the visual fidelity and UI and network functionality and poo poo in a game that's two console generations old now)

It's fine to not be interested in it but thinking it's a terrible game in comparison to SA or GTA4 or is "pointless" is akin to thinking Diablo 3 is an ugly game with a bad UI wait a m

I am nearing completion of the GTA V story and enjoyed it immensely. Someone on the team really liked Heat. And I dig that.

In fact I'd really have liked it if it was even longer with more heist-setup style missions. Or if they had a 12-hour expansion with Franklin and Lamar before the main story, as a San Andreas "gang on gang" style story. Frank didn't get enough love.

e: I have enjoyed the singleplayer missions of this game moreso than any GTA before it. Mainly I am concerned the open-world dickery will be limited after the story and I may have to deal with GTA Online. Which sounds like poo poo.

gta5 has both the best and worst missions in the entire franchise

it feels like a very transitional game, which makes sense. can't wait to see what Rockstar does next, hopefully RDR2 or Agent

To be fair, GTA4 was worse in most ways than San Andreas. So saying 5 is the newest, better GTA means this game on the ps4 is a PS2 game but better. Comparing games to their previous entries is always unfavorable.

You can shoot hookers, ramp boats onto a beach and skydive without a parachute. And it is all very pretty with an amusing background. I think that's the best way to describe gta5.

How is first person mode anyway?

Heists pay well

What I find funny about this is that you are right heists do pay well but they don't give you even close to the amount you need to buy some of the properties and poo poo, meaning you have to game the lovely-rear end stock market with the assassination missions in order to do so. Even then, 2 of the 5 heists give you literally no payout and one of those actually COSTS you money, which is stupid.

He's talking about the online multiplayer heists, not the story mode. Money in single player is not a big deal, unless you're retarded and waste it all the time dying or something.

The man doing the jerk-off gesture from the safety of his armored Kuruma rolls past again. Circling like a hungry virtual shark. I can feel his stare and the beads of sweat rolling down the back of my neck as he drives by, his jerking arm moving in almost slow motion as I take in every feature of the surroundings. Blood, everywhere. Bullet casings litter the ground. I can see them now, the dents on his car from where I had just futilely been shooting him. Soon he will kill me for the 35th time from his invincible nightmare car and instant lock-on headshot. As my passive mode blinks and begins to fade, dragging me back into the corporeal game world, he rounds the corner. Five seconds have passed. I tense my finger so that I may tap to respawn faster when it's all over. My character's last thought is surely, 'only a broken fool would have fun doing this'.
