"GTA V was viewed as mid and overrated for multiple years until they started doing all the updates and online took off."

the way you phrased this post is as if this was the consensus

bad isn't the word for any GTA game. Disappointing or forgettable to many is accurate. Its not a bad video game. By the end of the game was it tedious and boring compared to the mission structure of previous games before it? YES

Exactly this. in 2013 when it launched again this wasn't a hot take people would openly say it. Yes reviews gave it 10/10s 9/10s cool but that isn't what i am talking about. You would play it same time with people you knew or overall like Tears of the Kingdom it was a moment where everyone was playing it. The world itself dope but the missions weren't as good for many

you can just agree that I didn't use the word everyone. If I wanted to use the word everyone I would have

I have plenty of bad to say because the POTENTIAL is there

For example the police AI is regarded. The reason you can get a star in the desert despite no witnesses is because the animals there can count as witnesses lmao. Lots of bizarre design choices like this add up, and the story kind of is all over the place too. I did enjoy Michael's story and Lamar. Franklin wasn't that interesting and Trevor was a tryhard edgelord character. I still have like 500h in GTA 5 but of that maybe 400h were in online

so are you going to ignore that you didn't phrase your post that way orrrrrrrr ?

@BlackSlug

if your only problem with it is me saying something I didn't say but how you read something then there should be no problem

CRACKHEAD is right here someone else saying the same thing as me

I asked you to name a memorable mission in the game and you can't

yea the police ai is some of the worst and more annoying I've seen in a video game still don't like it

I also miss the cheat system. GTA SA cheats

yeah was kind of shocking to remove that but again I was letting them cook. I am simply saying it was less of a hot take in 2013 because people were adjusting to change

Also what is to be realized the review scores for GTA V at launch are for solely the singleplayer game

GTA V Online didn't exist nearly at all at launch

The Michael story was very interesting tbh. A family falling apart.

I like the mysteries they added in the game although the Mount Chiliad mural was a cop-out

I wish the desert side was more interesting to drive around in

Don't get me wrong the game is amazing Let's see what they cook with 6. I am pessimistic because shark cards f***ed their whole game up but let's see

he's posting his opinions. some of them I actually agree with. again you phrased your post as if it was the consensus. you didn't say I or some people

you said "GTA V was viewed as mid and overrated"

if you can't understand how that looks like you're saying everyone thought this then just stop

Michael story was the only one it felt like they went all in writing wise . Probably by design when the final choice came.

you didn't "ask" me anything lol. you just made another assumption saying most people can't name a mission as if you speak for most people. thats literally my problem with your post

thats hilarious

I said it was less of a hot take to say so .

as in people openly more likely were to say they felt that way. When I say Mid in mean in comparison to previous GTA story WE ARE talking single player only.

Red Dead Redemption 2 people love to this day and can mention the most iconic missions and memories they created forever.

GTA V is less of that . I am speaking from people that played all GTAs not those who started with IV or V

all facts

I am asking you to name one

I am not speaking for most people. GTA V story is not held as the best story of the GTA that they hold the most sentiment to

IMO
GTA SA: best missions
GTA IV: best story
GTA V: best world

you said never said any of this in that post b. this would've cleared things up instead of making a blanket statement like that post suggested

and also you don't speak for those people either cuz I played all the other gta's too and disagree

and I would agree with this too. San Andreas I liked the story too but somehow IV story a slapper. Only miss there was the choices they offer you don't really make a change

I played GTA 3 and GTA VC back in the day a lot but I can't get back into it after SA made everything better

I played GTA 2 and the world is very interesting but the save system is awful so I stopped playing
