So remind me why GTA V is great ? (NO SPOILERS)

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"][QUOTE="jhonMalcovich"]

Ok. Maybe I am wrong. I just find suspicious that all secondary activities of Far Cry 3 migrated to GTA V :P

The problem is all previous sand boxes did it better than GTA V even if they copied from previous Rockstar games.

Far Cry 3 did better scuba diving, hunting, killing spree, assesination missions, it was more fun to wreak havoc, even driving was more challenging, scooter time races were just awesome, better island exploration.

Just Cause 2, bigger island, better tools to wreak havoc and probably better MP.

RDR had better shooting.

GTA4 had better shooting and characters motivations.

Archam City had better trophies, world exploration, melee combat and story .

Assasin Creed had better assesination and infilitration missions. Brotherhood had awesome Davinchi machines missions.

GTA 5 is full of rip-offs from other successful sandboxes.

Letter collecting = feather collecting of AC

Killing sprees = Rakyat Warrior challenges of FarCry3

Los Santos Island = Rip-off of tropical paradise theme of FarCry3

Scuba diving = Rip-off of FarCry3

Secondary objectives = full syncronization of AC

First of all: those other sandboxes stole way more from GTA than GTA did from them. But hey, ever game rips off other games so complaining about that would be kind of silly, right ?

Second of all: Killing sprees a rip-off of Far Cry 3 ?!?! What?????? You do realize those were already in the very first GTA right. ?

Than thirdly: I don't even know how to respond to the bold part, that's just way too stupid.

When taking out outposts. My favourite tactic would be infiltrating and setting sticking bombs at strategic points, the detonate them in a correct sequence killing all the guards in the process and getting stealth bonus for that.

:D

Or sticking explosive to the jeep, drive from the mountain to the outpost, jump out of the jeep, jeeps crashes agains a guard, wait for other guards that would approach the jeep to investigate, detonate explosives.

 Did you forget that FC3 had sticky bombs too, explosive arrows, flamethrower, rocket launchers, etc.

I must be playing a different game than you. GTA V features no tropical paradise island that I know of.

GTA Vs world is based on Los Angeles and Southern California. Just like GTA:San Andreas. GTA Vs world is a lot more like San Andreas than it is like Far Cry 3.

There is no perfect game every game that comes out some people will like it and some people will hate it, gta 5 got good reviews and sold very well and most people like it and that is all you can ask for from a game.

[QUOTE="jhonMalcovich"]

I am already at 55% of completion. By some reason, I have an impression that GTA V has less gameplay than all previous installments.

GTAV is basically about piloting different types of vehicles, exactly like all previous GTAs. No seriously, after 55% in, I completly burnt on GTAV.

 

All missions are built arround driving. Shootings are damn scarce and have usually zero tactics in them. The game lacks gameplay variety so badly.

It´s all about driving. The game dificulty resides in that. Most of the game is about putting you in different situations where you have to drive uncomfortable vehicles you have little familiarity with, usually being persued by police. I mean, almost all missions are about that, heists including.

When I played a few stealth missions, I was like "F*ck yeh", stealth made it to GTAV. The problem is they are really a few. Like only three in total. And I have thought they will have some depth in them. Well, I did was wrong.

And don´t start with "But GTAV has so many secondary activities". No it doesn´t. All secondary activities and missions are generic as **** and lack any depth.

All sport activities are challenging until you level up your characters. After that, it´s like walk in the park. And you will level up your characters really fast.

Tennis is quite generic and easy.

Yoga is a QTE fest.

Killing springs are dumb as f*ck because you don´t even have to take cover. It´s just duck shooting.

Platforming is almost absent.

Scuba diving is pointless because there is nothing interesting under water.

Heists are super scripted and not challenging at all.

Killing missions have zero creativity. I´m staying in the middle of the road with a sniper rifle and nobody gives a f*ck.

And as I already said, shooting missions, which GTA 4 had so many, are now so scarce. You can´t engage a good shooting because usually your target is either escaping or police is on their way.

So in the end, it all comes down to driving, driving, more driving, a little bit more driving, occasional piloting, occasional shooting, more driving.

 

At this point, I think Far Cry 3 was a much  better shooter and sandbox. IT had driving, shooting, stealth, exploring, platforming and light puzzles almost at the same proportion. The same is true for AC: Brotherhood aswell, a lot more interesting sandbox. Batman: Archam Origin...

Actually it was Stalker that invented the open-world shooter.

I guess the point here is that the world doesn't revolve around you.

You have a right not to find anything great, good, or even palatable, but when the gaming world is celebrating this game maybe you have to accept you're in the minority opinion and leave it at that?

I don't doubt you don't love this game, nor do I question you for that, but so what?

No. All previous GTA games have been set in big cities. GTA V is the first that features country side. And the country side resembles pretty much FC3 island. It´s that simple.

I'm pretty shocked that some of you don't like the wanted level system.  It's amazing and a great framework for all future wanted levels.

It is clearly superior to GTA3 systems.  That's just a given.

GTA4's circle system was a big improvement for the series, but the only way to evade the police was in vehicles.  With GTA5, getting away on foot finally makes sense and actually works better than in vehicles.  There is a stealth element to getting away from cops now, and best of all you could be hiding from the cops a few feet away from the scene of the crime if you can find a good enough hiding spot.

As for the 3 star being a death sentence, no way.  You can get away from helicopters but it's tough, and to stay hidden from them you have to find a hiding spot with overhead cover.  Those places do exist.  In the case of 3 star or greater, you probably will need vehicles but that just makes sense.  

Getting a wanted level in the middle of nowhere is not a huge deal.  The wanted level system is a little bit too easy to navigate as it is.  The current system needs the AI to be a bit better if they are going to be trying limiting how you get wanted.

One neat little qwerk of it is getting a wanted level in houses though.  It is a glitch imo.  In houses you enter a walking mode where you can't use weapons and you can't even run.  Cops still follow you inside and will kill you.  Your character won't draw a weapon.  One time I walked into a house with a wanted level and grenades equipped and they stayed that way, which was neat.  I blew up my kids and then the cops came in and shot me.

Ehhh you're stretching that a bit to fit your point. I wouldn't say GTA V is anywhere near similar to those other games in that sense

My main problem with the game is that its short. Only 69 main missions, and a good amount of them were fillers like buying masks and such. So ur telling me 3 chaaracters and only 69 missions? Sand andreas had 1 character and had like 110 missions, hell, even gta4 had about 90 missions or so.

Another thing that bothers me is that missions didn't utilize the map properly. They put in a huge prison in the middle of the map, could have been an epic "bust trevor" out of prison mission, or something along those lines, but we got nothing. its just there, pointless. Same with the army base. Not once does any mission have anything to do with that base. With the exception of you wanting to steal a jet from there, there really is no point of going there.

Mt. Chiliad takes up a quarter of the map and it isn't used for anything at all, only for some stupid side mission to race a bicycle down hill.... really?

Everything seemed to happen in los santos, seldomly things happened in blaine county. Where are the homes to purchase? why am i stuck with one house the entire game? I want to have homes around the whole map like in San andreas, no past tme games like pool. There is even a casino that they did not utilize. Why cant i play roullete or anything else? "oh but you can play darts".. REALY

I disagree with the camp takedowns being boring or the radio towers being boring. But I do agree with you on the fact that GTA 5s world is a lot more detailed than every other sandbox game out there.

FC3 has no freedom ? You claimed you can't stick C4 to a car ? You obviously didn't play the game.Yes it has many linear scripted missions but the all of the outposts and many main missions can be tackled in many ways unlike GTA V. Most if not all, of GTA V missions are extremely scripted. It doesn't allow you to complete the mission in your ways, instead it forces you to do exactly what the devs want you to do. I agree with a poster that said the GTA formula needs to change. The change should be started with the mission structure, i.e. it should be much more open ended al FC3 or Deus Ex.Zensword

On top of the heavy scripting in GTA V Rockstar still has to tell you every single instruction. The text literally says something like 'move the car here' 'drive away from the area'. Can yah give people a bit of breathing space to work it out themselves?!

I thought I was pretty clear in my first post. The game is focused too much on driving, therefore lacks gameplay variety. All extra activities are very generic and lack any depth. GTA V, in a nutshell, is trying all vehicles available in the game. All of them. The game missions will force you to use different type of vehicles. Which it´s not bad by itself, but in the end, it will provoke a certain feeling of nausea from repitition. It´s like you like icecream, so you will eat icecream all the time until you hate icecream. And there is nothing else enticing that would distract you.

The gameplay disproportion is very huge in this game:

90% - driving

10% - shooting, stealth, puzzles, etc.

So the questio is why GTA V considered to be a 10 when there are so many sandboxes that achieve a better gameplay variety such as:

AC2 + Brotherhood, Batman: Archam City and Far Cry 3

What would be for me an ideal GTA V

40% - driving, including high speed chases

20% - shooting

20% - shooting missions that allow stealth approach

20% - puzzles with clues, like in Batman Archam City

I'll be honest. I haven't played the game. However, I've played GTA IV and my favorite part about it is driving through the city.
