I’m not likely to buy this game, but I’m still more likely to buy it than willingly visit Florida (I’ll only go if I get sent to the concentration camp)

Hype is real but GTAs usually set the standard for open world games and alway advance the genre. We’ll see but excited to see what they got going.
Idk. They haven’t advanced their shooting mechanics in over 20 years. They have advanced predatory anti-consumer practices though.
The narratives are generally good but I’m of the mind that I don’t want satire when living in such a shitty and insane time.
If I get a chance to play for free, I’ll take it but I’m not giving rstar or take2 any money.
Uh, what do you want them to do for the shooting mechanics in an arcadey 3rd person shooter?
Smooth it out, look at other games that do it better, make the various weapons feel different, etc
Besides the whole “various weapons feel different” there’s not a single actionable item there. That last one is valid though. At the very least they need some guns to have more recoil, etc.
what was groundbreaking in gta v from a gameplay perspective? Switching characters?
I was playing as the flash in the saints row series at this point.
Open world in general really. In 2013 you had big titles like black flag and saints row 4 like you mentioned and bioshock infinite lets say.
Go back and play Black Flag. While the game was a masterpiece and my favorite AC, it just lacked fluid movement.
Saints Row IV was awesome. It reminded me of what Enter the Matrix should have been, but it didnt have the alive world GTV 5 had.
Bioshock was beauty and grand but not true freedom or NPC interaction.
This is all opinion, as art goes. You might love something that I dont and we can disagree. But we still love the space. Rockstar puts together a great package with every title though. I mean you can’t argue with results. GTA V is the most double dipped and succesful title ever. Maybe CoD could rival but that’s just recycled trash. Let’s see what happens, if it sucks, it sucks. Plenty of games out there.
After Minecraft, but yeah, you’re right that it’s hugely popular.
BioShock Infinite was a linear shooter that was closer in level design to Half-life, while 1 and 2 were immersive sims which aren’t comparable to open world games like GTA.
Skyrim giving it a run for its money?
