The mechanics of the game are not clear, and there will be random transitions into fights or whatever. Blah!

The information is scattered all over the place which is simply bad design.

The menus are poorly labeled with random crap in some of them... cannot tell whether this is intentional or not - but, in any event, why is it like this?

I'm kind of sitting on a 4.5/10 for this game. Not terrible, but definitely not a good game, and not worth 60 effing dollars.

Update:

I see bing has some ranking system it displays in it's search results when you and . Seems about right.

This game seems like a side project from rockstar.... regardless of the graphical production value - the overall experience makes it seem like a side project. I guess when one visits a big city, and they see all the fuck-around behavior it really is just that: a fuck around place where nothing productive is getting done.

think about it, they supposedly have these billions of dollars coming in, and with the over zealous hype about crunch and all that you'd think they're some powerhouse of productivity, but where's the good stuff?? what else did rockstar put out during this time??? where's the blockbuster game?? because rdr2 isn't it

About the story, what's with all the coloreds in the game? the game is starting to look more like a modern LARP than an RPG or open world game with this modern portrayal of ethnic Americans and coloreds, especially the african black. There would be the domination of ethnica Americans over africans still portrayed here, and it's looking like a "we're all a happy melting pot of communist and marxist equality ".

It has the same issue as its predecessor for me and that's the horse riding, I find it boring. If I could travel the map in a Subaru Impreza the game would be vastly improved for this gamer.

I think they're going to stick with the Red Dead games for the same reason CD Projekt Red are trying to launch Cyberpunk - it's bad business sense for a studio to have only one franchise.

When it comes to GTA - does anyone have any preferences for the setting of the next game? I want either a Miami revisit or get experimental and move it to Sap Paulo. Remember Max Payne - a GTA in that environment with favelas etc. It would be great.

I'm told GTA5 has issues just like RDR2 in that the controls are shitty and the plot doesn't really land.... I haven't played it or watched videos online, but I saw a buddy play a bit, and it wasn't enough to tell. My mind will be absolutely blown if that is true though, since that game has made more money than any piece of media ever.

GTA 5 is in my opinion the best game of the generation, there's hundreds of houiof fun in there, both in the campaign world and the multiplayer. If you've played and enjoyed any of the previous GTA games you would have a blast, it's a good iteration on the previous games.

If you're buddy has the same system as you I could recommend picking it up and asking him to play it with you in multiplayer (after you've played the solo campaign). It is great fun and far better than RDR2 imo.
