best rockstar game this gen

for me GTA V

GTA V>RDR>>>GTA IV

Voted RDR.  

RDR >> GTAV >> L.A. Noire >> GTA:TBOGT >> Max Payne 3 >> GTA4 >> GTA: L&TD

I bought GTA5 at midnight launch, beat it in the first 4-5 days, and havent really touched it much since, outside of taking my PS3 to friends places and just passing the controller around killing, which gets old fast, etc....Im "over" GTAV already.  I hate to be "that" guy.  Red Dead Redemption had more of a lasting effect on me.    The game is stil fun and still sits comfortably behind RDR for me.

Uncharted2 is better than RDR and perhaps any rockstar game ( not really into GTA franchise although I've playe gta, gtalondon, gta3)hippiesanta

No, hell no.

Red Dead is not winning it for me.  I'm well aware of it's acclaim, but to me, it's not too interesting or appealing.  The shootouts are fun and the story is good, but the pacing and structure of the game is just predictable and more of a chore to slog through than fun.

Ride your horse through a barren empty overworld to a town

Go to a marker and watch a cutscence

Ride your horse through a barren empty overworld to a canyon

Have an entertaining shootout (or horse chase)

Ride your horse through a barren empty overworld back to the town

Watch another cutscence.

And there you have it, Red Dead Redemption.

It's the drive-shoot-drive formula of most sandbox games.  Combined with the gameplay-cutsence formula of your standard AAA games.

But perhaps it is the slow travel (combined with a needlessly large and lifeless overworld) that compounds this issue.

Rockstar Table Tennis

GTAV, but RDR is close.

GTA4 by some distance for me! I was hugely disappointed by GTA5, and while I enjoyed Max Payne 3, it didnt enjoy it as much as GTA4. I havent played Red Dead Redemption or LA Noire so I cant comment on those!

GTA V by a mile.

Red Dead Redemption loved the overworld and the main lead plus hogtieing people was fun and plus the story was incredible.

No, hell no.

Right now, it's GTA IV.

RDR >> Max Payne 3 >> GTAV And I hated GTAIV doll94

RDR>MidNightClub LA>>>>>>>>>GTAIV>>>>>>>>Max Payne 3

The last two bored me to tears, but RDR and Midnightclub were definately good games

I'd go for Red Dead Redemption.

But I voted for GTA V because it's pretty good too.

No, hell no.

GTAV followed by RDR.

Rockstar's Table, Tennis for sure. A classic.

I have all and GTAV wins easy.

My friends and I have recently returned to this gem and turned it into a drinking game. Hilarity ensues.

is the fast travel available inside missions?

Red Dead.

Please don't tell me Red Dead isn't linear.  The only choice you really have is choosing which character you want to do missions for.  Even the open-world is linear as it punishes you for not staying within the lines.  Otherwise, it's a predictable structure.  Ride-cutscence-ride-cutscence-shootout-ride-cutscene and then maybe get stuck in a tree for a minute.

Max Payne 3 no question.

RDR or GtAV Either way hermits lose! Alessandro_R
