But wait there are proof that real life locations also exist in the GTA universe

So all in all, it is still a piece of shit and fuck Rockstar Games.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks multiple protagonists is detrimental, no clue how they thought it was a good idea. I could stomach the change from Franklin to Michael because I liked him more as a character. But when it changed to Trevor from Michael I could barely do a few missions before dropping the game. It happened like three times and to this day I haven't finished that game.

Rockstar better release gta 6 already cause now mfs are practically making things up to complain about. Its almost 2025 and people are still bitching about a 2013 game

Trevor is easily one of the biggest issue with the plot of GTA V. He's just so obscenely ridiculous and unhinged it removes me from the story entirely. Michael and Franklin feel like they'd exist in the real world, but people like Trevor would not last long in actual organized crime at the caliber that Michael operated it. Too dangerous, too unpredictable. Men like Trevor are usually dealt with by other criminals before they create problems for everyone else. This is why I think ending C was a total cop out. It would make for a far more compelling story if Franklin had to choose between killing either Michael or Trevor because then everything would have actually meant something, rather than the solution being 'lets just shoot and kill our problems away!'. GTA IV's story was great because Niko was a believable human being. He didn't do wacky insane shit like eat people or have weird mommy issues or huff gasoline. He grew up in one of the most horrific Eastern European conflicts in the last 30 years. He found all of his childhood friends brutally massacred, and Roman's mother raped to death. These things scarred him for life, and the whole game Niko is struggling to come to terms with this and the terrible things he did both during and after the war to survive. It helps that not only does the game show us the tragic past Niko is struggling with, but it also respects him as a character. It doesn't try to make light of Niko's past. It doesn't try to use his history to justify wacky wahoo stuff Niko does for comedic effect. GTA IV was great because it wasn't afraid to take itself seriously. GTA V, on the other hand, always felt like it was compelled to always be self-aware and tended to mock itself and everything and everyone in it. Even Michael, arguably the most interesting of the three protagonists, is more often than not depicted as a belligerent screw up who gets bested by some French Yogi who sleeps with his wife. That's to say nothing about characters from previous games they brought back. What a joke. I'll take Niko, Johnny, and Luis over Franklin, Michael, and Trevor any day.

Bro thinks we havent noticed him deleting comments against his opinion...

Whoa.. it's just like in real life. They could add some boxy condos maybe

GTA 5 was hot garbage

True crime streets of la was the best until gta 4 came out

Most of these were completely unknown to me 🤔 😂 Thats amazing. Just imagine how detailed gta 6 is going to be? 😭😭 lol

My biggest problem other than the map is Franklin. Franklin was such a disappointment. Franklin barely gets any character depth like michael or even Trevor. It would’ve been cool to get more inside on Franklin and Lamar before Franklin got with Michael. Franklin also has no character development. Most of the time he’s just a wall character. It felt like they just put him in a game as a nostalgic placement for San Andreas fans. Speaking of San Andreas it sucks that Franklin cannot interact with the gang like cj could. Cj could interact with the hood and we got way more character depth and development with cj than we got with Franklin.

I hope they learned from RD2. I explored every inch of that map and sunk loads of hours into it

For the GTA 4 map, I loved section 3, ended up finishing our long night sessions in section 4. Modders always used section 1 and I forgot about 2.

I don't see the problem. If you don't like the abilities, don't use them. I use them, Micheals and Franklins abilities made pretty much sense for them, since Micheal is a gun expert and Franklin is a driver, Trevors ability is a bit too much, it would have been better and more logical if Trevor has the ability to slow down time while flying. To the second point. I play the story of gta 5 at least one time a year and i looked in the lore, the characters, etc. While doing that, I could connect to the characters and can relate to each three of them.

Gta 4 is just one section for me, they all feel the same, just city.

i think jason & lucia will have an interesting dynamic same in nature but different in nurture so maybe they butt heads frequently like lamar and franklin but romantic essentially

Its just like LA and NYC in rl

I just recently replayed both games (first 4 and then 5) and I honestly prefer 5. GTA 4 is a great game no doubting that. The story was amazing and the characters were well written. But I just didn’t like the gameplay that much. The game was definitely fun. But the gameplay felt heavy and needed a lot of control from the player. The missions would automatically fail if you did something wrong. Plus it was just more slow. 5 on the other hand, I got that game when I was 11. A month after it came out. I’ve been whining to get this game ever since its release date. For one whole month gta 5 was my life long dream and hope until my dad finally got it for me. I would play it for hours on end. I just had such a good time with that game. I’ve had the same online character since 2013. I own every business in the game and multiple houses and garages. Assuming I live up to 100, I’ve spent 11-12% of my life on this game. I don’t play it that much anymore now that I graduated college and work full time and have other things to do in my life. But gta 5 will always have a special place in my heart even though the game is a mess now. I’m 22 now but each day as I’m getting older, I still remember being an 11 year old kid going to GameStop with my dad and buying that game back in November 2013. I can’t believe that was over a decade ago. Sometimes I listen to midnight city while I’m driving home from work. I just get a nostalgic feeling about how I’d use to listen to that song while driving in the game. The night gta 6 comes out, I’m going to drive to GameStop and buy a physical disc and listen to midnight city on my way back.

One thing I noticed they compromised from an art style perspective is the fact that in gta 4, each character saw the world with a tint. Niko with an orange brown tint. Johnny with an aggressive yellowish orange tint, and Luis with a pink purple tint. In GTA 5 they couldn't do that because the character swapping is real time unlike 4 where you have to switch games entirely. So what they tried to do is add in that "character tint" In the special abilities. It doesn't work very well because the aesthetic doesn't bleed into the world and it's just in the UI.

The map is so tiny but feels so big. Gta v map is huge but feels mostly empty.

6:16 I think GTA should take a page out of Detroit Become Human for the next time there’s 3 protagonist

There is some weird issue in Los Santos where sometimes instead of orange it is like green, in fact that was how it was for me most of the time in Los Santos

GTA5 is better in almost every way. Better graphical and sound design. Better side quests and mission design. Better traversal mechanics. Better customization options. Better gunplay. More activities and past times. Bigger and more detailed map. Am I missing something?

If gta V had another city in section 2 or 3 it could have been really good

genshin impact has better world design than gta

I really hope da guys make gta 7 in modern day NY, it be fire to explore our gorgeous city. I was raised in YO and BK. Been to all the boroughs ofc so seeing that implemented to gta is 🔥 you already know the vibe.

I have talked about this before. Its not only with GTA 5. Every GTA games, cut on some very good content, to make place for new ones. Its like they have "checklist of new features no other games have thought" then to do this checklist, they remove previously applied features. Like even GTA 4, it removed character customization, rpg elements, gang wars (brought back in gta tlad), and so on. This has been their formula for so long. Every GTA game has at least that one thing you can do, you cannot in other games. Thats what makes the series special.

GTA5 feels so timeless I forget that it was released in 2013

I agree completely and feel the same way I could never get into gta 5 because of the 3 protagonist.

The body and car physics, the friends and activities were SUPER limited, and the gun sounds were some of my pet peeves

You know it's bad when you have doom scrolled in a video game

I'm an older guy (45), and in a recent recapture-my-youth moment I recently purchased an XBOX 360 and the complete GTA IV (Including the EFLC content), checking out this video and some of your other ones in anticipation of returning to a city I've never actually been to yet know like the back of my hand and remember more fondly than my own city lol... thanks for these, great work bro!

I have a strong feeling that GTA VI's story mode will have an emphasis on Co-Op between two players. As for Online, unless GTAV is shut down or is no longer profitable (fat chance) I doubt they'll try anything with this new title.

They got sick of being underappreciated and called GTA clones when they were NEVER clones. You all ruined it for yourselves. Saints Row literally only became what it is because of being called a GTA clone when it was never such a thing.

i really dig the blurryness of the ps2 version.

One thing i found that destroyed my whole sense of a living breathing world is the fact some bits of the older games is destoryed - 911 calls are useless except the cops - each character share most movements - noting to do on the wild part of the map and feels like a after thought - cops aim is near marksman aim (pinpoint on swat) - cant disarm enemys anymore (why give one of the characters slow mo when its just there for head shots) - having a high speed chase is even more dull - having no tires got worse because game rips you out of control randomly unlike the other games - hate the fact you can't move from edges anymore - the hangouts is even more worst because its so watered down (said in video) - the side stuff got watered worst than the hangouts (cant do most wanted anymore and the hospital missions anymore) - 100% awards is nerfed again and barely any thing out of it - villains felt like a after thought

This is what makes a game world feel alive. All these details, all these sites that are completely optional and 95% of players probably never see or even know they exist. Rockstar could have easily decided not to add this, but they did anyway. And the fact that GTA 6 is gonna be even crazier, probably with a fully functional Reels/Tiktok like site, again probably completely optional content that most people won't even see.

Getting rid of trails was a crime, what were they thinking. Trails on a crt display is one of the most majestic things you can witness.

Shit You Right

noticed how they changed the color of the roads? yukk

GTA is the most lore deep series

I usually prefer taking myself outside of the story and viewing the characters for what they are like a piece of art or something idk lol. Usually entertainment and Aura is the number one factor for me for a character to draw me in. I normally don't care If I "relate" to the character lol I play games and watch movies to be entertained. Also Trevor is the character that feels the most remorse and humane ironically compared to Michael and Franklin if you look past surface layer of the characters. But you're 100% right about the world cause GTA 5's world is just boring to me. I remember spending hours on end in San Andreas and even 4 just exploring and messing around having fun doing so but with 5 like what am I suppose do? Drive in a straight line down the highway in a circle around the map? Fun Stuff. I only play GTA 5 to see Trevors story lol it's literally the only thing that interests me in the game. Him and Michaels Dynamic is pretty much the main draw of the game and only reason to even play the story or even the game unless you're into Online which I never cared for.

Ballad of Gay Tony was perfection.

The fact that this game came out 23 years ago and it does some crazy weather stuff, like volumetric fog, several layers of clouds, naturalistic rain with randomly moving rain drops. Almost like this game wasn't supposed to be about a guy shooting people and stealing cars 😅 Ever since then Rockstar was one of the best, if not THE best studio with attention to details in their open worlds. Such a stain of shame that "Definitive Edition" is, spits on all that beautiful legacy of those talented and passionate people. Well, i'm glad they're at least trying to fix it now.

06:15 I like how this glitching guy took the spotlight, you were trying to point on the fog, but he's like: "hey, look at me, he's pointing at me" 😅

I'm really glad this game means as much to other people as it did to me. Can't believe how long its been. Your points are really well articulated and i feel like we could be best friends ok 🥲 😂

I was 13 years old . Got home on the 17th and fired up gta v for the first time . The first 10 seconds I drove that car as Franklin. I felt like crying . Why would they dumb down and make the game so flat

Surprised you did not mention the Mercenaries games. They where pretty darn good.

I sure hope that they will bring back the physics, details and interactivity from all the previous GTA and RDR games to GTA6 and it might be perfect.
