jesus christ, it's been a full decade... man, I can't believe I'm an adult now. I miss the days when I would come home from school and just spend hours on these videos.
Different console generation limitations and a two year difference limit a reasonable comparison, and even then gta v has multiplayer, and a more fun and interesting story mode imo
Probably the greatest game of all time. This is the only game I triple dipped on, PS3, PS4, PC, I've completed it probably 8 or 9 times now and loved every minute of it.
Today is 5 August 2023. This video and GTA V turn 10 years old next month. I've been watching NerdCubed for 10 years now. This is really nostalgic. Not having a care in the world and just being able to come home from school and watch cartoons and Dan. Especially if it was a game you had to buy or an 18+, because I had none of those. GTA V, Crashtastic, Red Dead Redemption, Minecraft, Spore, and so on. Where did the years go?
+Matt James (Aviation) Wish I can get the PC version but i have a quite shitty laptop and only have it on my 360 and xbox one but would u say it is worth getting a better pc for the gta pc edition?
It's ironic that he says the characters may say things that slightly relate to the story and before he even says that, when the screen is black at the very start, Michael says "Hey your dads back." Which is a very big part of the end of the story.
To all who are confused on how he has all 3 characters: In the final mission there is a option C, Death Wish. It is the hardest mission in the game for the first part, then it becomes "Eliminate the 3 main bad guys an win" by switching the characters after each one, they have their own one to eliminate. However you keep all 3 characters.
cassi75474 Did it. Hardest part was probably either the final triathlon because you mash x for a fucking half hour or the street racing because i was a twat and didn't do it as franklin. Honestly not that hard of a game :P
Mustache Goat No, it's good because of the way it uses the grappling hook in a massive environment with tons of vehicles. If the grappling hook was just used inside a building or something, it would be boring as shit. But, since it's used in a massive island, it's not boring as shit.
It is a little annoying how he seems to forget a certain game and dismiss it immediately, only to be replaced by another very quickly. A prime example of this is Just Cause 2. He ranted almost the whole video about how he loved that game, and it was the best out there, but replaced it without so much as a metion in this.
TheMajesticPotato How is that an issue? He thought Just Cause 2 was the best game ever. He then played GTA V. He now considers GTA V the best game ever. No doubt if a better game comes out, that will be 'the best game'. is that a problem somehow?
Well gta online is the worst thing in human history so he’s not wrong. GTA V itself never had the 3 dlcs it was meant to have because the dogshit online mode was too popular for them to bother finishing it
I would have liked this game more if the characters were more interesting, they all have good concepts but they never show why Franklin wants to get out of the hood. tl;dr version: Michael: I'm conflicted with the fact that I'm a witness Franklin: My motivation is getting out of the hood, which is never explained*, and this is a key fact in a total of three missions, but apart from that it's mostly just a reason I can meet Michael the rich guy Trevor: I'm the character Rockstar made specifically to be a fan-favorite, even though my psycho act sometimes goes overboard, like murdering (SPOILERS) Floyd and Debra and also RAPING Floyd.....but I have loyalty issues and I'm just misunderstood-right guys?! But apart from the characters I would give the game 10/10
Franklin wanted to leave the hood because he is tired and needs to move with some pros and not gangster shit. He said that in several Lamar missions dude.
If I made a top 5 games I'd put it like this: 1. GTA V 2. FTL: Faster Than Light 3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 4. GTA SA 5. GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony
1. GTA V 2. Red Dead Redemption 3. Mortal Kombat 4. Dragon Age: Origins. 5. Mafia II P.S. These are my favorite games not games I think are the best. Although GTA V and Red dead WOULD stay in the same place.
The PC version will release January 27th 2015. It includes a exclusive video recorder/editor for recording game clips along with taking full advantage of PC.
Sad to see this innocent game 7 years later in the horrific state its in. The new DLCs are cool but its all online and online is hot garbage in public sessions. And ooooooohh the youtube clickbait is still a raging issue.
The DLC has minimal work put into it from a company that can afford to take risks and allow talented and dedicated people to make the best games ever. But i guess Gta online is profitable enough that making a new game just doesn't make sense. I wish people stopped putting their money into gta online just so rockstar has to do something new. Like i remember watching this video 7 years ago and being amazed, but sadly a game from 2013 can't last 7 years without any love from the developers
almost 10 years later. just few some days off of the anniversary and the game is in its worst state. and Rockstar is a shadow of once it was years ago.
I don't know if many people know this but one of those two guys you pick up and try to help escape from the cops at 10:15 is actually Packie McReary. He talks about Niko and how he was a part of the big bank heist in Liberty City that is a min part of GTA IVs story.
I have a challenge even though you stopped playing GTA 5 on the channel. The Common Criminal Challenge Be less of a magically powerful master criminal by only having one weapon in each section of the wheel, play as your Online character, and submit to pulling over/being arrested whenever possible (dequip weapon, stop car (if in a car), and hold still to get busted) Here's the objective for this: Avoid a wanted level wherever possible and steal a fancy car, as well as enough money to deck it out with whatever you please.
and then watch as you either gracefully fly out the windshield, or get crushed from the compressing interior... BeamNG would be a very brutal game if it had drivers in its cars.
Don't you guys rthink that current gen GTA V is less realistic? I mean swat guys don't change weapons, I don't have any kinds of random events, wheels of cars don't brake of anymore... (that's my experience please do tell me if yours is different).

You probably know this by now, but the random encounter at 10:00 is Packie McReary whom you can use for heists and is the best gunman.
Probably the greatest game of all time. This is the only game I triple dipped on, PS3, PS4, PC, I've completed it probably 8 or 9 times now and loved every minute of it.

My reaction when he killed those robbers was just "WHY DID YOU MURDER PACKIE FROM GTA IV?! WHY?!"

+Bradley Dan Oh yeah that dude. I drowned them in petrol and shot it.
He killed Packie! I fucking love Packie!
My thoughts exactly!!!

Now I've played the PC version, the old gen version really looks awful.
You sure its not your pc?
Ling Tan I meant the PS3 version looks awful lol, sorry for the confusion
Matt James I am playing it on pc too, still haven't finished it but the game looks so much better than old gen.....totally worth the wait
Quazi Irtiza Yep completely worth it

This game... They're not even random events.
How is this nearly 3 years old ?
Because it was uploaded nearly 3 years ago...
Great Scott...
He's right!
lol
Chris Odonnell oh man this is heavy
Because the game is over 3 years old.
"i still get lost..." not any more... not any more

True just cause it wayyy better but gta 5 is good but the cheats are boring super jump moon gravity gta4 is better
WHAT ABOUT PORTAL!?!?!?
william barwick Just Cause 2 was only good because of the grappling hook. The game is mediocre at best
Mustache Goat No, it's good because of the way it uses the grappling hook in a massive environment with tons of vehicles. If the grappling hook was just used inside a building or something, it would be boring as shit. But, since it's used in a massive island, it's not boring as shit.
Anyone still rewatching a decade later?
He says its the greatist game he has ever played..... On ly no.2 on his top 10 games of 2013
he siad open world game!!!!!! idiot
It is a little annoying how he seems to forget a certain game and dismiss it immediately, only to be replaced by another very quickly. A prime example of this is Just Cause 2.

The Zancudo UFO find was the most mind-blowing thing of 2013 for sure.
This video is still great 6 years later
I really love how Dan summed up my entire GTA 5 experience in a single video.
8:27 UFO Easter egg in the background most likely sucking up cows with that god awfully terrifying beam of light.
It's not a UFO, it's a light pole, i get why you thought it was a UFO... but it wasn't.
ThePoepsnol13 just pause the video at 8:27 and u are goint to see it is an UFO!
Good spot, its a UFO
Harrison Limbert That's quite literally a light fixture at the Banning/Terminal docks.
***** exacly there are hundreds of those lamps and people think they are ufos guys who say that its a ufo go repai your eyes
one of the people that needed a getaway driver was Packie MacCreary from GTA IV... you killed him...
Its really been nearly a decade since i watched this!?
Wait, Dan said that the worst games this year has micro transitions. GTA Online has micro transitions... dear GOD NO!
Well gta online is the worst thing in human history so he’s not wrong. GTA V itself never had the 3 dlcs it was meant to have because the dogshit online mode was too popular for them to bother finishing it
Waiting for Nerd3 GTA6 video.
I would have liked this game more if the characters were more interesting, they all have good concepts but they never show why Franklin wants to get out of the hood.
tl;dr version:
Michael: I'm conflicted with the fact that I'm a witness
Franklin: My motivation is getting out of the hood, which is never explained*, and this is a key fact in a total of three missions, but apart from that it's mostly just a reason I can meet Michael the rich guy
Trevor: I'm the character Rockstar made specifically to be a fan-favorite, even though my psycho act sometimes goes overboard, like murdering (SPOILERS) Floyd and Debra and also RAPING Floyd.....but I have loyalty issues and I'm just misunderstood-right guys?!
But apart from the characters I would give the game 10/10
Franklin wanted to leave the hood because he is tired and needs to move with some pros and not gangster shit. He said that in several Lamar missions dude.
Wait Trevor raped Floyd?
lazyspongie
In a transition sequence thing
Ze Gogo
I thought he just killed Floyd and Debra
lazyspongie
No, the rape was before that.... I actually did not care about the Floyd/Debra murders
I'm realizing how much better the PC/PS4/XB1 port looked.
You're undying disdain for GTA IVs main game makes me sad, the gameplay in GTA IV is my favorite of the entire series by an absolutely long way.
Dude, you are so funny and random. I love it!
Still waiting for the PC version...
There isn't going to be a PC version, Rockstar is not releasing because of something to do with to many people hacking GTA IV.
Connor Branscombe take it easy man no need to be mean
I think they said they were working on it at Rockstar, but that may not be true because I think they said it would be advertised in February...

4. GTA SA

I absolutely adore the Easter eggs in GTA 5 especially the UFOs and the one you saw seems to me like it was a reference to Area 51
Please dont delete this video!
The UFO sounds menacing
I have a challenge even though you stopped playing GTA 5 on the channel.
The Common Criminal Challenge
Be less of a magically powerful master criminal by only having one weapon in each section of the wheel, play as your Online character, and submit to pulling over/being arrested whenever possible (dequip weapon, stop car (if in a car), and hold still to get busted)
Here's the objective for this: Avoid a wanted level wherever possible and steal a fancy car, as well as enough money to deck it out with whatever you please.
One of my favorite little things about this is how believably characters fall, wether it's dying or just falling over.
I love him with the explosive van and on the highway with the 3 tired van, and the radio.
I never thought anyone would complain about lesser damage on cars
