GTA V - The best GTA game ever?

I still have a soft spot for GTA: Vice City but GTA V is pretty awesome. I'm sure it will eventually come to next gen. I can't wait to see the PC version though, especially on ultra hd monitors!

 

No. Hell no.

Great game but best game ever no.

 

You might not think this a week after you stop playing it. I don't think it's the best GTA Game. I don't think it's that good in general. I came to this realization when I had to give up my copy and I just didn't care. I had fun well I was playing it, but I felt no loss in giving it away. I didn't miss it, I didn't pine for it or anything. If something is a good game, I'll miss it when I have to send it away.

 

It's a great game, and I can't really say I know the GTA series as well as others but, it is definitely the best GTA game as it has a huge map, great graphics (I just said that?) and fun things to do. That... and it retained some of the amazing glitches that made GTA IV amazing, even more

As compared to other games on the market, I'd actually have to rank it quite low TBH. GTA is just not for me! c:

 

All I can say is that it's GTA, but with a more believable setting, a modern UI, improved gameplay from the last game (and starting next-gen gaming off very well compared, with, say, BF4), very nearly realistic graphics and playing catchup with Saints Row 2 (and 3) in terms of in-game features (minus the more memorable crazy ones). Apart from that, I can only dream of getting the game; it's cheaper in the UK than anywhere else, but I want to leave the country by the time I can legally buy it myself.

 

There's your key sentence. San Andreas is still the best, but 5 is a close second.

Also, regarding the story... what story? I honestly couldn't get any coherent plotline out of the game other than "these guys get together, rob banks, and

Spoiler

kill everybody who gets in their way. Was a spoiler even necessary?

They could have certainly done more where it counted, but for pure technical prowess, it is a marvel.

 

For me, GTA IV had the best storyline of any of the GTAs. It also had, for it's time, some of the best graphics too. It remains my favourite. GTA V, however is a technical marvel.

 

If multiplayer actually allowed for heists and real missions close in scope to single player (like what is actually offered in Saints Row 3 for instance), then GTA V would be in contention for one of the best ever.

 

I really, really enjoyed the torturing scene. I got to do all that without the chance of being arrested in real life.

 

^ agreed

 

It would have to compete against Knights of the Old Republic, Kerbal Space Program, and Morrowind for my vote, and even with those features, I don't think it would happen.

 

Didn't say it would be THE best ever... But I'd consider it for my top 10.

 

Okay, that's true hehe. The title of the thread says the single best ever though; I meant to talk about that instead.

One thing GTA5 did very well though was its multiplayer. Granted the loading times and lag made it a lousy experience for me anyway, but the features! You can do pretty much anything in that game lol.

 

Ugh the original problems with release bugs and such and boosters ewww.

 

I'm sorry, but Saints Row 3 is a circumcised and castrated version of its predecessor in terms of game features. Also, it will never compare to GTA V.

 

Saints Row 3 had superior game play compared to 2 but worse customization options so it's debatable.

And yes it will compare to gta because they share the sandbox genre but approach it in entirely different ways. GTA hasn't been nearly as innovative or as polished relatively since vice city.

 

Admittedly, what I can say from SR3 is that its gameplay was easirr to understand (after playing 2 first), but I still miss 2's easter eggs (idle animations, secret islands, different fighting styles, UFO, 4 people in a 2 door car)
Great point w/GTA though, before V, SA was the only good game, where the other games were all the same besides the storyline. GTA IV could be compared w/GTA 1 or 3.

 

Oh I'm not saying SR2 is bad in fact I played over 250 hours of it. But a blend of 2 and 3 would be ideal.
