The DLC is garbo mostly. Crystals for crafting, two costumes for Aurora, and a new party member. Only the latter really matters of these. If it's cheap enough and you are going to play on Hard go for it, otherwise stick to the base game.

Thanks, made the decision for me easy.

There was a bug when Child of Light first came out where save data could get corrupted or something similar, cost me six or seven hours of gameplay and put me off of trying to finish it. Anybody know if that ever got patched out?

You tell me I didn't build that?

I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.

GTA was one of the first games I bought for PS4, knowing that I'd definitely play the hell out of it on a new-gen console. Even if just for the online game.

I don't think I've played it since I installed it.

There is if you're increasing the pool of people who will drop mad money on GTA money, but anyway I'm sure Rockstar has expert accountants who've meticulously crunched the numbers and worked out the exact day to significantly drop the price, as well as the day the game goes F2P.

Because it's a boring empty world with nothing to do but drive around a large but mostly non-interactive setting populated by missions which are 90% "drive to this place" and 10% "Really fun heists we didn't do enough of."

personally i don't like them because the activities outside of the campaign aren't something i want to do more than few times anyway but especially because the control is too clunky and stiff for such a long running series in the 3rd person genre and yet there's always parts of the game, including the campaign, that are finicky where you need to fight against the controls.

V is way way way better than IV, which I hated for many of the reasons above. V has great set pieces and they learned a lot from Red Dead and Max Payne 3

The writing is the part that's stuck with me the most from GTA V, but a big part of it is that the voice actors are really really good.

crowbcat has a good video of everything that was in 4 that was stripped in making 5 and its all the small detail stuff that sells the gently caress around murder spree moments of the game and makes them satisfying to play. V goes for so much more in other areas that its not inexcusable or anything but there is a lot of ai behavior and animation work that they just didn't give a gently caress about anymore

GTA V single player was intensely fun to get high and listen to snythpop and do rampages and drive around. I can definitely see why people don't like it but the people who don't like it almost always say "I refuse to understand how anyone could enjoy this" and it's like, we get it, you vape.

I spent many days downloading the 95 gigabyte GTA5 (pc) and then I opened up with Franklin in this vast world...

And I just kinda got bored and quit. It's less GTA's fault and more Open World Video Games fault.

I think it helps that these games are gigantic now, it feels like more of a chore travelling and trying to do everything, so you get a lot sicker a lot quicker with a lot more to do. You had a look at Vice City on PS2 recently? That map is not huge. There are like five buildings on one road.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I've played and enjoyed every GTA (though that enjoyment really, really waned by the end of IV) but I've never once completed any of the 'find 100 items' scavenger hunt deals and can't imagine anyone who has actually had fun doing it.

Basically they should stop making that a thing in open world games, but in the last GTA they had like 3-4 different ones so I doubt it :shrug:
