Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

This is a perfectly normal reaction. What else is there to do but bitch and moan on the Internet about shitty games?

I would expect someone with the username "Sandnigger Mudhut" to think this.

They should have realized this after watching Saints Row shit the bed so hard it killed it's studio.

When you have a stronghold, you start to turn arrogant. See Sony after the PS2.

I can't say. The only GTA game I liked was Chinatown Wars.

Good choice. Any particular reason why that GTA compared to others?

I've just not enjoyed any of the other mainline games I've played. GTA III's best feature was being able to play tracks saved onto your xbox and I had more fun watching the Roosterteeth guys play IV and V than I actually did playing them. I think the top-down perspective is more fun somehow, and I usually hate top-down games.

less than 20 minutes ago, Rockstar announced GTA 6 is delayed to May 26th, 2026.

They are afraid that this will be the game that be the death keel of the industry,

Chinatown Wars reminds me of an interactive comic book in Liberty City. It's a good thing that it's entirely self-contained so you don't need to play GTA IV or its episodes to understand what's happening. If you HAD, it just adds to its world building.

This game is deep in a development crisis and they know it. I don't think anyone left at Rockstar knows how to run a project, to say nothing of their army of jeet coders fucking everything up constantly.

Jeet coders and Millennial writers.
Its going to be absolute dogshit.

Can't wait until they pull a Cyberpunk 2077/No Man's Sky and release a broken shit mess that takes an extra 2 years to finish via game patches.

Top-down and isometric with the rotating camera. I consider it an evolution from the 2D era GTA games, especially Advance.

If you care, here are all the missions from CW ranked by a Tactical Bacon Productions:

I disagree with the driving missions being ranked low. They offer a change of pace from the action. They encourage exploration of the city and layout. I'd argue with the minigames in missions, (QTEs on the PSP version) they give the game variety instead of just drive, shoot, tail.

Did the laptop survive? Did you at least clean it?

"My laptop smells like piss and no longer works but at least I showed a bunch of people online how much I hate Emmanuel Goldstein a fucking video game company."

It's photoshop you retards. The perspective doesn't even work at all.

 

[The Last Stand]

It's still gross.

Remember that some work was probably done remotely. Now, they're back in the office. With a massive game like this, working remote would uncover a lot of problems QA may not have time to report on.

Drug dealing in Chinatown Wars was fun as fuck.
A entire economy underground.

Happy 17th birthday, GTA IV!

I loved the opening hour of GTA 4 with exploring Hove Beach. The first time, you feel like an actual tourist in an unknown environment, learning everything as you go. The beginning missions do help set up the new mechanics, new city and establishing characters.

I thought there was something wrong with my controller for a few minutes, before realising accelerate was now R2 instead of X

There is a "Classic" control configuration where the controls would be familiar to the 3D era GTAs.

I remember trying it the first time I played GTA IV many years ago. Then, I was used to the triggers being used as pedals when driving so I never went back.

Oh, that's another possibility too. I believe they outsourced some development to India. They must have some talent because of the frequent GTA Online maintenance and updates.

Rockstar India mainly works on map modelling, and have done so since RDR2.

Selling drugs was half the reason I played CTW, it was just fun buying and selling stuff for a profit.
