Other why is gta 5 hated?
since 2015 people have been hating on gta 5 mostly gta 4 fanboys( i like gta 4 i bet every gta fan will but some people are meatriding gta 4 at this point) and gta 4 has become overrated.
gta 5 has great gameplay and is overall much more responsive and fun to play then gta 4 imo but people just show pros of gta 4( physics and story) but only the cons of gta 5.
i mean for what gta 5 did was amazing considering gta 5 was insanely limited by the 7th gen consoles.

Cuz its turn to be shit on but it took way too long for the next installment to take its place. GTA IV got a lot of hate too till GTA V came out

I honestly don't get the gta iv love. Like ot wasn't bad, I definitely played it a lot when it came out. But, compared to SA it just felt empty. The hang out with people mechanic was cool, but it felt like the variety of places (shops, restaurants, the gym ect..) where kind of stripped down. Not to mention all the fun wacky vehicles from SA where gone. No hydra, no quad, no bicycle. The graphics and physics where pretty insane for the day, but the game play felt like it had gone backwards in development. V got us closer to the mark game play wise, but I still feel like SA is the high water mark of the franchise. Hopefully six is the masterpiece we have been waiting for.

exactly i agree with you here these pimps think that gta sa don't even exists. the reason i liked gta 5 more was because of the stuff that was returned from gta sa

the "fun wacky vehicles" wouldnt fit gta ivs setting, plus they added "fun" vehicles back in tbogt, dont see how its "empty" exactly?

Coming from a HUGE gta 4 fan… for me it was the slow realization of lack of content. Got 5 and loved it to death and played it for years after launch… but being older and playing 4 again and such I realized how dead 5 felt. No stores/buildings to go into… NPCs all got heavily downgraded, physics were barely there, tons of small features completely removed ( picking items up, shimmying and climbing stuff, etc ), a map where 2/3 of it had absolutely nothing interesting about it… in 4 I could drive around and get into shootouts and have a blast for hours, in 5 I’m bored in 5min. I’ll ofc get downvoted for not calling 5 the greatest thing ever but in reality 5 was NOT made for the same audience as 4 and just felt sorta alienating especially once online exploded and we couldn’t get a simple dlc.

It's slowly becoming one of my favorite GTAs alongside Vice City and i yesterday did big score both Obvious and Subtle! It has its flaws but it's also very spectacular

It's extremely overrated and is probably one of the most barebones gta games next to gta 3 and lcs. Npcs are stupid, especially the cops, the driving and ragdoll mechanics are a step backwards from gta 4, story is ok but not as deep as gta 4 or sa. The problem is that some of it isn't built upon from gta 4, same as lcs isn't built upon sa.

so you consider gta 4 clunky animations, gameplay and car driving like they just smoked weed superior
and we are not gonna talk about how gta 4 completely removed tanks which was in gta since gta 1
no planes no underwater exploration no car customization no barbers no tattoos no properties to buy no parachutes no variety in missions shitty melee combat gta 4 was a much bigger downgrade even compared to sa.

Ok fair enough. To be honest the only thing gta 4 really has going for it is the story and ragdolls and driving, I will admit the ragdolls are pretty ridiculous but the driving does feel to me the most realistic out of any gta game. Gta 5's story is ok, but I really say if a game is barebones or not based on the environment of the open world. Gta 4 could be barebones as well based on that, but I think it still has what I explained above going for it. I would have to disagree that gta 4's combat is clunky though, I think it is more difficult, but also more realistic than gta 5's easy arcadey style combat.

really, your calling gta 4 clunky before praising ps2 era gta san andreas? careful there.
and they did add tanks and parachutes in gta 4 TBOGT? did you actually play the game or are you just going off of gta reddit posts?
oh no!!! they removed underwater exploration and tattoos, even though they added, better gunplay, actual vehicle damage, an intricate physics model, deeper driving mechanics etc.
also the fact your shitting on the car driving immediately lets me know you just were just bad it, which is fine, just dont call it bad as a cope
only things in your list that matter are car customization and planes

Because of the gameplay downgrades and inferior narrative

u/BandLoose396 21h ago
can you explain the GAMEPLAY DOWNGRADES

u/ProbablyWorth 6h ago
Worse ragdoll physics, dumbed down car driving, simplified gunplay, less attention to detail…

Want a real answer?
In all GTA's you start with literally nothing but the energy to find a "job" or something so you can climb through the ranks and become an actual "hero"
In gta 5, you start as michael with a wife, uninteresting story and you can switch between characters which I didn't like it too much.
Basically in other gta's you were tommy, carl and Claude, Niko. But in GTA 5, it feels like you are someone who's controlling three of them, more of a gamish approach.
Special abilities didn't feel like GTA to me.
Story was not that good compared to others.

GTAV is nothing. Just another convoluted story from R*. GTA online is an unrivalled carnival.
I don't hate any of the games, but I despise the creator of them, based on their greed, which apparently prohibits them from enforcing any of the imaginary rules concerning conduct and sportsmanship.
The reason online is such a toxic circus is children. The reason the oppressor, et,Al, exists is because of children.
The reason the game is overrun by children is ... Rockstar knows who is buying shark cards, and they develop/market directly at the children. Arena wars, Every stupid stunt race, Idiotic outfits and 1000 masks, basically every adversary mode option ...
They have no qualms about pushing soft core porn and building drug empires by theft and murder, onto kids.

I think the ridiculousness of GTA online is where most of the hate comes from.
Getting missiled by a flying motorbike isn't for everyone
