Like 90% of the missions are kinda tedious and the open world game-play is feature rich but not that deep. The driving is the only thing that ever feels exceptional but I don't even like driving games. That said, I always binge them and have a great time. I don't get it.



GTAV is so drat pretty on PC, though.

They were all good. GTAIV was probably weakest but the expansions were great. I don't get it, though, because nothing about the gameplay really stands out from other sandbox games.

I thought the guns in Prototype were p. nice in that you can pick up some guy's 8-shot grenade launcher and unload four rounds while in the air.

Oh yeah explosives are usually good in these games because blowing up cars is awesome.

In GTAV I like causing a huge traffic jam on the main highway using a bus, pouring gasoline down the line of cars then blowing the bus up with sticky bombs to make a huge chain reaction explosion.

the closest to that were role playing servers in the specialists and then they hosed it up with version 3 by making all the guns less accurate.

In GTA V they made flying out of your windshield instant death instead of ragdolling around the ground in an amusing way, for seemingly no reason.

Yeah I didn't like how car crashes were ridiculously more lethal. That should have been a difficulty option or something. I tried to ride the $50,000 motorcycle you buy from the internet and if I ever crashed at full speed I would just instantly die.

III is the only one that has Vigilante missions I like because if you pause and unpause when you're near the target vehicle the person will just bail from the car for no reason and you can plow through them immediately

In the other games it is annoying and I hate it because it is impossible, also Ambulance blowwwwws

The one thing I miss from GTAIV that i'm really surprised isn't in GTAV, is car specific missions, stealing a taxi, police car, or ambulance was cool because you got randomly generated missions from them.

I wish I knew about this, would have made those missions so much easier.

the ambulance missions in san andreas are pretty fun if you do it in that tiny town you get dumped in after you are kicked out of los santos

they put a lot of effort in small areas that most players just dick around in

it's nice to see the game react to all the little things

I killed the final boss of Red Faction Guerilla while he was in the middle of his introductory dialog using the rail driver.

I didn't even realize that was the boss I just wanted to steal the tank he was in.
