GTA V

I've just started Red Dead and I really like it so far. It's everything you say, plus also the fact that the slower pace of horseriding rather than driving combined with a much less dense population means you don't just slaughter everything in your path whether you mean to or not. You can actually play it without worrying about constantly being harangued by the cops just for trying to get to where you need to get to in order to begin a mission.

GTA can't decide if it is a racing game or a third-person action game. As it is, it manages neither very well. And its story suffers horribly for the lack of verisimilitude that its own gameplay forces upon it.

Learn to drive!:D
 
Driving in GTA is shit. The cars are bouncy, twitchy and generally handle apallingly.

Never had a problem with it, I do find it easier to play on a PC though even when using the keyboard instead of a control pad.

I think it's because on the PC you can control where you're looking with the mouse. On the PS3 the "head" movements are done for you and they always seem to be a little bit too slow so you end up driving around a corner and not being able to quite see where you're going.
 
I liked the last one, even bought the biker add-on and the Gay Tony one too. But it had run its course by the end of it - I'm not sure there's much more they can do with it, really. Having said that, I'll probably see the trailer and think 'Woah you can fly tanks into the Empire State Building!' or something and have to buy it. I'm looking forward to the next chapter in Red Dead Redemption much more. Absolutely loved that game.
 
It would take a lot for me to buy the new game - it needs to move in a different direction. I don't think I got half way through the last one.

I'd like GTA V to be set in London and the south east and feature an erudite actuary 'gone rogue'.

Enjoyed IV but it took a lot of work to get through it all. But equally I get annoyed when I finish a game too quickly.

As for being set in London, the way the V and the five is, looks like an English note to me!!!
 
only the shit cars, some of the sports cars handle amazingly! moral of ther story is dont use shit cars as your getaway vehicle.

I used to purposely test the vehicles for this. One by one I'd drive up to a copper, get out, slap him, jump back in and see how it handled on the resulting chase. :D

Not a chance. It's Hollywood/LA. That font is almost identical to the one on American bank notes, and Rockstar employees have been known to be roaming Hollywood doing research even years ago.

Not to say that GTA London isn't worth making!

head movements are controlled by the other stick unless you've got a lowrider... :D
 
I enjoyed GTA IV a lot, but then it was the first game I got for my 360, so maybe I was biased? Idk.

I can't go back and play it now though. Far too sluggish.

Adore RDR like no other.
 
i always bang into something that makes the car stop completaly its fuckin crap as a driving sim although its not really meant to be a driving sim as such or maybe it is i dunno..its fuckin shit though if its supposed to be a driving sim, its fun for a day or so but mostly from using the cheats to get the guns and just shoot people and try and get all the wanted stars and remain alive for aslong as possible.. thats all it was for me really there was some funny shit on the radio though but i get really annoyed havin to do the same fuckin mision over and over again coz of the bunky controls and mostly every 3d vertual world gives me a sodding headache anyway...i dunno how you can all manage it first person shooters and all that.. gives me vertigo

i hardly use the bloody ps3 actually.

peace
 
I still love GTA 4. Still play it and still love it. The ballad of gay Tony was brilliant. The Lost and the Dammed was awesome in showing just how dull and stupid motorcycle club life is. I have GTA 4 on at the moment just to listen to Rodigan on the car radio. :)
 
So this will be another game where you go to do something, but then you have to do something else right over the other side of the map, which will enable you to do the original thing, but then you'll have to repay a favour to someone which means doing something else before you even get to do what your trying to do.

I wont be buying this game :D

You know that he is actually on the real radio? And plays more than just the same 8 songs over and over again?
 
Dug out my PS2 at the weekend & stuck on San Andreas, graphics are a bit shabby but still one hell of a game.
 


So yeah it's HollyVinewood. Looks like more of the same. Will probably buy it anyway :D
