Game that keeps on going

Ultimadrago · Dec 14, 2015

All that hype needs to lead to some GTA V DLC episodes.

Where are my GTA V DLC episodes?!

neurosyphilis · Dec 14, 2015

Remaster and re releases count now ?

Heavy_D206 · Dec 14, 2015

And still no word of a full proper SP expansion like Lost and Damned or BOGT

jmaine_ph · Dec 14, 2015

Its that good. Would love for some story DLC but I'm guessing that online is killing it.

Technically. A port has the potential to be terrible. Really says something that all versions of the game run well.

demosthenes · Dec 14, 2015

It was that good. Would kill for some SP DLC.

Super Wario · Dec 14, 2015

Love the game but it's time for GTA 6.

Even if you don't want to count them, there still hasn't been a game released since then to have a score that high.

Kurdel · Dec 14, 2015

I bought this game 3 times now, and every year it was an amazing leap.

Eman Resu · Dec 14, 2015

all according to plan

Nah, GTA 6 is going to take at least 4 more years. We need Red Dead 3 and another franchise in the meantime. Max Payne 4 or Bully 2 would work. Even a new IP since Rockstar does those pretty well.

Strangelove77 · Dec 14, 2015

GTA4 has a 98 on Metacritic. I can't believe or trust humanity after that.

Basketball · Dec 14, 2015

Deserved

Rockstar give me Red Dead

Piston Hyundai · Dec 14, 2015

it was pretty good

enigmatic_alex44 · Dec 14, 2015

smh what a mess. I played through most of GTAV and it's an 80 at best. There are far better openworld games out there like Xenoblade, Sleeping Dogs and Infamous.

GTAV's story is hot garbage and none of the main characters are likeable, they're just horrible people. GTAV is without a doubt the most overrated game of the last ten years (though Witcher 3 is giving it a run for it's money).

Mr. Nice_Guy · Dec 14, 2015

Personally I would never count a remaster but okay. Didn't care for it, but whatever helps me get RDR2!

brokenbeans · Dec 14, 2015

I must be the only person that doesn't want sp content, just crack on and make the next one.

Plus dat GTA online monies!

I believe that they are gaming products that are sold for money, so

yes

Nightbird · Dec 14, 2015

I hope there is an port for NX, so we can add a fourth year to it lol

Man God · Dec 14, 2015

Hey, Xenoblade Chronicles was my favorite game for three straight years so why not this?

There's also an easy joke here about how Rockstar bought them off with some of that GTA IV money, save that GTA V really is that good and the game they wish they made with IV.

Anth0ny · Dec 14, 2015

Well it's a pretty fucking good game. Deserved.

etta · Dec 14, 2015

MGS V is rated higher on XBO?
Why?

I'm a massive GTA fan and I completely agree with this

To add to that, I found that most of the map is just empty space. It's lazy and boring, imo. They could've done much better. GTAO is also horrendous

I still believe the 3D-era GTA games were the best. They weren't too large, and they weren't too small. Just enough content, a good sense of humor, great stories and a unique atmosphere for each game with fantastic, memorable soundtracks to boot.

No, it's time for a new Red Dead.

GTA SA to IV was 4 years, IV to V was 5 years...

The maths check out.

Also, as for the actual topic, it 100% deserves to be the top game for those years.

kagamin · Dec 14, 2015

Can we get better combat now? Its fun but the combat is pretty generic.

BeforeU · Dec 14, 2015

I cant disagree. Though, I cant get myself playing the MP as much as I hoped

burgerdog · Dec 14, 2015

Love the game, but man, most of us would agree that we are badly due a new Red Dead.

Ridesh · Dec 14, 2015

I'm actually re-playing the game, PS4 version this time.

The visuals, the production values, the quality and variety of the missions, the world itself, absolutely ridiculous.

But the controls need to be improved for the next game.

inner-G · Dec 14, 2015

I just re-bought it today at the BB B2G1 used sale

I would rather have been buying a new Red Dead though

Solid SOAP · Dec 14, 2015

I played it almost nonstop for a year or two post release and was kept entertained until I almost forced myself to stop. It is fun as fuck simply to exist in the world, quite an accomplishment for a game of its scope.

bigboss370 · Dec 14, 2015

edit: nvm i see, three different release paltforms

Akibared · Dec 14, 2015

It deserves it I need to get back to my PS4 replay.

Game4life · Dec 14, 2015

Rockstar with all that money can you just spend a little bit more time to make sure the characters in your games control competently and come up to industry standard. Surely there are better options then tank like controls and over animating.

There it is.
Why does MC separate them, though? Unless there are technical issues, they should be they same game regardless of the platform.

Naughty_Doge · Dec 14, 2015

And still lower than GTA IV.
How did that happen?

The Argus · Dec 14, 2015

As it should be. In my opinion it is still the definitive open world game. And I love me some Withcer 3, Fallout and Just Cause.

The fact that we still haven't heard of a new Rockstar game is pretty lame, and I doubt we'll ever see a single player DLC for GTA now that we're two years in. I'm really excited to see Rockstar's true next gen game, please be RDR3 and 2016.

Not really issues, but there is a resolution difference between the two, that is all afaik though.

Is it? I can't see how, GTA V is better than 4 in everyway. Niko has nothing on Trevor. And then theres Franklin and Michael.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
