What did we think of the GTA V protags and story?

They were good characters, and Michael and Trevor's stories were fairly decent but Franklin's story felt incomplete, too bad GTA Online ruined any chance of us getting a proper conclusion to his story. For me Michael's the best, Trevor is good, Franklin felt empty.

>the literal cuck is the best
Yea Forums everyone

i guess they tried to incorporate red deads successes for some reason

>the gameplay was worse than gta 4
nah, gta 4 is clunky as fuck, on consoles auto-aim is mandatory since is free aim is fucked up, the driving also makes no sense

People really liked the stranger missions in Red Dead, they just forgot the only reason people liked them is because they were actually interesting

I liked it except the fact they turned the Lost MC into a bunch of cucks

git gud

Strangers in RDR2 were all shit too. Ebin zany whacko characters in an otherwise decent story. What is wrong with Rockstar?

SA was the last truly great GTA. They've been getting steadily worse since.

Speaking of, someone's made a ENB that looks good for SA. Makes it look like a new game.

They got too full of their own shit I suppose

btw why doesn't rocksar acknowledge the existence of ABS on most cars today?

>I HOPE YOU BROKE YOUR FUCKING NECK

They were all essentially the same. Michael and Franklin were both addicted to the rush the same way Trevor was and they both bullshited in the exact same way, Franklin kept holding a torch for that black doctor lady but she calls him out in being a thug at heart the same way Michael's entire arc was him figuring out he was a thug with delusions of normalcy.
And by the same token Trevor's arc was his attempt to build something 'legitimate' with his criminal empire. It doesn't matter that his idea of legitimacy is this twisted parody of everything predatory in modern society, it was the same urge that drove Michael to go straight and Franklin to 'make it' out of the ghetto. All of them were the same type of predator making the same choices and defining themselves by the same basic qualities of wealth.

I'd take the original shitty graphics thanks
also distance fog

lol

>Trevor's arc was his attempt to build something 'legitimate' with his criminal empire
I think Trevor is actually smarter than he looks like
all his talks about corporate this and that were just him bullshitting

This man is correct

>GTAV is unironic pleb filter
This so fucking much and based analysis

gta sa completely mogs it

Only weird if you're used to the base game. The graphics is copying the look of GTAV, which is fitting since they're both in San Andreas.

I'm curious about where they're going to go for VI. US culture has remained somewhat static since 2013.

>The graphics is copying the look of GTAV, which is fitting since they're both in San Andreas.
nah, san andreas had different effects for every part of the map to fit the atmosphere of the place
also the limited draw distance is actually a good thing since it makes the map look bigger

Steven Ogg fucking nailed it.

They just use handling data of the cars instead, it's defined by some really janky shit like firetrucks having it but the WRX clone not

Am I crazy or is this Yea Forums not Yea Forums?

this is /pol/ bro

The FIB plot line was dull as shit and took up way too much of the game.

>GTA V is an unironic pleb filter
Story yes, open world game design no

yes that looks like shit
low poly with those shaders and definition makes it look like a phone game
the blurry look of the original actually made the models look better

They need a new area. Pnw could be fun they could rip off portlandia sketches instead of movies. Or they could go full hillbilly and do West Virginia or Tennessee.

>I think Trevor is actually smarter than he looks like
>all his talks about corporate this and that were just him bullshitting
The best part of Trevor is his spot on analysis of modern corporatism and society. All he has to do is ask "why am I any different?" in the middle of doing some crazy shit and you're forced to come up with an answer (that's usually not there.) It's brilliant.

the first half of the game has the highest production value in a game i've seen. really impressive, very close to a movie. but then it was like they either ran out of time or money. i played the last mission of the game thinking i was maybe a bit under 3/4ths the way through. during the illegal immigrant missions i would zap them over and over. i didn't care.

Ubishit already took those ideas for some of their games.

the flight model in gta 5 was absolute dogshit. really disappointing. nothing beats the helicopters in bf4

It was essentially the CIA plot from GTAIV fleshed out. They really hammer you over the head with how hypocritical the politics are and there gets to be a point where it's just too much. Should have broken the mission thread up with something wacky.

yeah the first heist is one of my favourite missions, too bad the others are just gunfights

GTA IV
- no built in AA
- Z-fighting
- shit tinting
I know you can fix most of these, but still

With rdr2 being a boring sluggish pos imagine how bad gta 6 will be?

youtube.com/watch?v=1FcACB3gd5s

I don't even notice the low polys until they get close to the screen. Looks almost like GTAV for a lot of it.

The nig character and story was unneeded. Or it should have been a cholo. I mean Mexicans make up like 60% of LA county and we already had the black gangbanger mc in San Andreas.

>itt contrarians hating on GTA V and RDR2 despite being masterpieces.

Careful you'll be labeled a seething PCfag. R* games were always a first day purchase for me. Not after that RDRII trash.

This really. Dude complains about everything and isn't even a hard gangbanger.

I loved rdr1 on ps3 and still have it plus its almost playable on Xenia 360 emu and rpsc3

I didn't hate v until gta online ruined it.
The sp is kept alive via mods but honestly they didn't even fucking finish it so much content was cut waaaaay more than iv
Fuck nu rockstar and fuck online

>What did we think of the GTA V protags and story?

For a video game it's pretty fucking great. But in a way the game doesn't take much risks narratively, it's not anything we haven't already seen on Yea Forums. GTA5 is fairly parallel to many action/police/gangster movie scripts that are locked into storytelling formulas. It's an interesting fun experience to play GTA5, but narratively it's set in a narrow space that is not fertile for scriptwriting innovation.
GTA5 tries to be a movie at times, and at times sorta succeeds even. The issue is that when it does it's really close to experiences that we've already had in various movies or series. Strictly narratively speaking, GTA5 echoes more than it resonates if that makes sense. It's really well done and put together, impeccable craft, but narratively it's business as usual.

I loved how GTAV captured to a T what its like to drive on LA streets. Every street, hood, house, school, building, curb, bus are images I've grown up with and to see it recreated perfectly was a thrill to see.

RDR2 was trash and everything wrong with modern gaming.

based Yea Forumsirgin tourist accidentally a thread

Did they ever fix the online? Was so keen for that when it came out but it didn't work.

This.
I refuse to play rdr2 it looks aweful

Why does every main character and side character talk so much? Why are they so cynical yet superficial? Why dont they ever shut the fuck up? Is this what California is like?

It's just games turning into interactive movies. See how brief the GTA3 trilogy was when it comes to cutscenes.

IV is peak GTA story. V story is alright but just it, they can do much better.

Im genuinely still surprised that /pol/ has never used Impotent Rage The Liberal SuperHero ™. Imo this is by far the best writting in ALL GTA5. Trevor is fun ok, but this is next level as far as i'm concerned.

>Why are they so cynical yet superficial

Don't mistake LA for California. San Diego is primarily a military and shipping city while Sacramento is your stereotypical sleepy college town, Barstow is a cattle auction house in the middle of fucking nothing and Oakland is a warzone filled with minorities fleeing the technostocracy gentrifying San Francisco.
LA is this soup of crazy from all over the US stewing in it's own narccissim. Every bit as bad as you'd think and the worst part is the natives born and bred there aren't any worse than any other normie, just outnumber 100:1 by nutjobs lured in by 'Hollywood.'

IV remains my favorite in spite of short attention span ninnies not being able to appreciate a slow burn

I still play GTA Online. The stunt races are great and I like hunting bounties in the Akula stealth chopper.
>implying all motorcycle gangs aren’t total cucks by nature
>much nostalgia
It was good but you’d find it unplayable now
I can’t get into Arena Wars. Seems shit tbqh.
>fuck online
Why, grandpa?

Because it came out 6 years ago and hasn't been culturally relevant since at least the single player
It's pay to win grindy trash and not fun

it was obvious that they half assed the single player campaign, its just a tutorial for online and it shows

All over the place and too short on non-story voice lines

>GTA V is still one of greatest games
GTA V fucking sucks, literally everything about it sucks. The three MC's were boring as fuck, The rest of the characters in the story was bland as fuck, the gameplay was garbage, the music fucking sucked, the AI was about as fucking trash as you could get, cars handled like ass. IV was just as bad, only difference was the map was fucking microscopic. San Andreas had a bunch of shit wrong with it but it was better than the last two. GTA 3 was crap, and no one cares about the first isometric ones. I honestly hope Rockstar never make another game, but they won't so I'll have to settle for never buying another game they make

Correct, there are so much kino moments like killing of Vlad, kidnapping of Roman (any of them), escape to the other city, girlfriends was really important to the story, killing of that serbian traitor and I probably forgot something else. It was serious and wasn't memed so much (except bowling), wasn't fun like SA but it was really most dramatic and dark game they made There was nothing like this in V.

Forgot about Vice City, it was trash too.
