GTA V - General Thread

[Dennisch]

Forget about SP DLC and focus on GTAO.

And GTA VI of course. Or Red dead redemption.

Thought this was interesting. Sure, there's a bit of nitpicking and bias but it does show how many details got left out in V.

Is it odd that I started to see this video like everywhere after I watched the video?

 

[JR98]

IMO the only things GTAIV has better than V is the ragdoll physics (especially in shootouts) and more realistic handling (although I prefer V's handling).

 

[Snorevette]

There's an annotation that says 'More realistic = less fun' when the GTA V character dies after hitting the water at terminal velocity after jumping out of a helicopter, conveniently leaving out the fact that 1. they also give you a parachute whenever you exit a helicopter in V, making it easier to AVOID hitting the water at terminal velocity in the first place, and 2. earlier in the video they showcased IV's 'realistic' physics, presumably to show that more realistic = more fun...? What is the truth here?

The only things I see that actually add to gameplay in a significant way rather than just being more realistic are the better parkour physics, building interiors, dedicated online servers, and the emergency services missions. That's 4 things in that entire 17 minute video. I could pretty easily list 4 major things that V does better just off the top of my head - better vehicle customization, better weapon wheel, more geographical variety, and the mere existence of actual planes rather than just a selection of helicopters.

I just like the attention to detail IV had.

Ive said before and I stand by it. IV was simply a prologue to V. There were tonnes of stuff in IV that didnt make any sense like ATM's.

Atm's were a great way to make money early on in the game.

Do the npcs even use them in V?

I forget, what could you even use money for in GTA IV besides buying clothes, guns, and ammo?

Hospital bills. There was no $5000 maximum in this game.

How much did you get charged each time? I don't remember since I haven't played in a few months.

It was proportional to the amount of money you had.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

And what happened if you ran out of money and died?

 

[Sage Ages]

Nothing. You were just broke.

 

[Dan]

Ok, say I had $50,000. What was the bill?

 

[Sage Ages]

I don't remember. It wasn't really too bad until after the bank job.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

[gnomefromnome]

Perhaps you already took a pic of the Pug?

The video shows that the games are different, not that one of them is better. To show that one is better it needs to argue WHY it's better, not just show differences. For instance, why is it better for people to put their hands up rather than running away when you point a gun at them? Why is it better for the character to stay glued to the door handle rather than letting go after a certain point when the car drives away? Why is it better to survive when the car you're standing right next to explode? All the video shows is that the games are different, and thus GTA IV is for some mysterious reason better.

 

[ToyGTone]

Well....I smell too many fanboy's here...

jk...IMO i like both of these games, both had some better/worse than the other.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Yep

 

[eran0004]

Fun fact: If you pick up a Rhino tank with the Cargobob helicopter, you can use the tank as a sledgehammer. Swing it on a car and the car goes boom!

Or you can use it as the world's greatest getaway vehicle.
