I don't think it's top 5 despite spending over 2000 hours on the online portion of it. It's fun, don't get me wrong. And thanks to that game, I have a lot of psn "friends" that I loved playing with. I got bored with the single player portion very quickly. It didn't bring me back like III, Vice City and SA did in the past. I wanted to finish those games. I had to the end.

Sales don't always equal greatness. It's game with great features and is very fun, but not top 5 all time

Im not even talking about online. I think the main story alone is worthy. Its so well directed, well acted and the mechanics are pretty much flawless. So much fun

also I never mentioned anything about sales. That had nothing to do with my decision

I didn't play online since as I recall it was totally DOA when the game came out on PS3.
Overall it was a fun story but too scripted and the world was fairly small with basically nothing to do except play the story and ride bikes down a mountain.
7/10

What do you mean dead at the start? I think opinions are getting in the way of facts

"Extensively marketed and widely anticipated, the game broke industry sales records and became the fastest-selling entertainment product in history, earning $800 million in its first day and $1 billion in its first three days"

I'd take those dead numbers any day, as would any company

I brought up online because many put the two together. And inevitably, someone mentions sales.

It was alright. The online felt like loading screen simulator. The single player was decent but I felt like it kinda just ends. It doesn't climax as well as it could have. It certainly didn't live up to the hype it garnered.

If you put in 2000 hours to something you clearly care for it quite a lot or just have bad priorities

Nope, they locked a lot of the fun/wackiness behind the online portion and it makes the single palyer part of the game a lot more hollow. It was better than 4, but it was still meh. At least it has Trevor though, I'll give it that.

I can read and understand just fine. Apparently people think the online was DOA because launch didn't go right and Ps3 never got the promised heists.

The numbers say otherwise. Here's an in game census when the game wasn't a year old

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/30048866/gta-online-rockstar-census-shows-nearly-34m-players

Launch was a frustrating time (I remember how bad it was) but definitely not DOA



"If you put in 2000 hours to something you clearly care for it quite a lot or just have bad priorities"

I used to love it until they made a lot of terrible changes, people moved on and I just stopped playing. It's been out for 6 years. That's the equivalent of spending a little over 27 hours a month.

The best GTA game however is Vice City for me and even that wouldn't be in my top 5 or maybe not even my top 10 games of all time.

It's a great game, but there are so many other great games that outrank it in my mind.

It also doesn't help that I probably enjoy watching people on YouTube playing the online multiplayer more than I actually enjoy playing it myself.

It's easily the best GTA ever, though. And I say that in spite of the massive hard-on I have for everything 80s flavored (which should put Vice City higher than I usually rate it).

Rockstar games have pretty bad controls, and that was acceptable when other open world games were bad but no so much in 2015+.

Tapping X to run is awful, characters don't pivot when you try to walk backwards instead opting to walk forward and then back in a circular motion which can cause you to fall off of ledges, your character has to awkwardly slow down and pathfind their way to car doors when you steal a car which is great when you're getting shot at and don't have very much health, i've never been a fan of glue on cover systems in general.

Also the default speed of player characters in their games is walking, like no other game in the world thinks walking is an acceptable default speed.

Nevermind the non-existent stealth system. It's literally worse than Oblivion's psychic guards.

GTAV's a fun ass game, but it's clunky as hell and has some serious issues it otherwise shouldn't.

All if a game has bad controls and poor graphics then it can't be that great of a game.. unless it's a turn based rpg or story type game, and gta III isn't one of those types of games.

Bottom line gta III is a good game yes and was killer for it's day but it has aged so badly that it's almost unplayable today. It's boring, clunky and slow.

By filthy casuls used to driving scalectric cars. V uses 4s driving model but puts so many assists to keep children on track it stops fast and hard driving. It also forces a specific way of driving instead of letting you control the physics how you best balance it.

Driving was more realistic in 4, but that's also what made it the worst in the entire franchise.

Even Rockstar acknowledged that - it's the main reason why they scaled back on the realism with GTA V, to address the massive audience backlash towards IV.

IV trying way too hard to be more realistic is a large part of what drove a lot of the audience towards Saints Row instead. It managed to keep the same sense of humor that made GTA popular in the first place, while GTA itself was going straight up its own ass with pretentious glee about how artistic it was (an attitude they carried on into RDR2).

I have seen this a lot of times, and wonder if the people that say it ever drove a car. I guess to be fair, you said more realistic, rather than realistic. 4's driving was absolute dog shit. It's been quite a while since I've played it, but I believe it felt like you were just driving on ice the entire time. Cars are way more stable than the game would have you believe.

Rdr2 was good at least. Though I did like 4. But it was the worst one ive played probably.

I don't usually agree with kyuubi, but I've always felt 4 had the best driving of the GTA games. The problem with people not liking it is that up until IV the driving in GTA games had been very arcadey. Which I can understand since the mechanic moved away from what it was initially was.

I mean, go drive a car irl at high speeds and see how it handles. I doubt when you were in game you were driving less than 40 mph most of the time.

The only thing I didn't like about IV's driving was flying out the windshield. But it never made me rage or anything.
