Because I am.
- No gore
- No crumbling brick walls
- little bushes everywhere that stop you dead in your tracks/wreck your cars
- No crouching - cover is only allowed on predesignated objects - no help from geography or objects you aren't standing against.
- No roll button, can't roll without a weapon equipped
- No "retry" or "cancel" option until you die or fail a mission.
- terrible car/plane/bike handling
- No control over what kind of punches or kicks you throw
- 3 crashes on a bicycle and you're dead.
- No camping like in RDR.
- No RDR-style hunting/trade. Takes any sense of purpose out of the hunting.
- the text for button prompts and in parts of the pause menus is too small to read - on the biggest tv I've ever owned even.
- Forces a boring-ass stock market "experience" on you
- Forces the cell phone on you, but the camera won't even save pictures if you're not playing online. Horsesh*t.
- the prostitute 'experience' is offensively bad. They don't just hop in your car and get to it, it's a whole cutscene presentation that you can't cancel out of and it's just bad.
- They force realism on you in every aspect, but the cars twist/slide on an axis that's floating above the pavement.
- You die or get badly injured by slipping/stumbling on a slope, but flip your convertible with it's top down and you can roll around on the back of the car/your head like a turtle, and there's no visible damage.
- The cars handle more like bikes in the air than bicycles do.
- The explosions are all the same, an ugly effervescent black/yellow, and they transfer from car to car like a ghost. Not real looking at all. Compare them to the ones in Just Cause 2
- Compare EVERYTHING about this game to Just Cause 2, which came out 5 years ago... It's amazing how much worse gta is in many basic aspects.
- people catch fire like magic
- can't get out of a flying/tumbling car until it comes to a complete stop, and when you do, it's incredibly slow.
- Can't bail out of a vehicle, even at low speeds, without injury
- Near-invisible reticle
- Super-sensitive wanted meter, but you can't even aim a gun out a window without it firing automatically nonstop.
- No binoculars/telescope and the camera doesn't work offline
- Constantly pushing the ifruit crap and other online services even though there's no internet connection.
Way too many little things for it to be an accident. It's shady business and I won't support them after this.
Look at all the recent NSA/prism stuff... If you think rockstar isn't making money on more than just microtransactions, you're an idiot. Play the friend request/life invader mission a couple of times and look at the data farming stuff they're rubbing in our faces.
Oh! And:
- losing more money every time you die than you earn on most missions
- pointless properties
- the hand-holding is atrocious. You can't step out of any of their bounds. can't do what you're told to do until you're told to do it, and if it's a mission where you actually can do something off-plot, you won't get credit for it/you'll fail, and the game won't say why, so you may end up repeatedly failing/getting frustrated by doing the right thing, just 'at the wrong time.' I'm thinking specifically of the flight school garbage.
- the missions are all pre-determinned and it feels like you're just tapping buttons through an "interactive" cgi sequence. They'll control when you can or can't run. They'll control when you can or can't draw a weapon. They'll control when you can or can't drive faster than a target. Plenty more examples if you want them. They'll control which characters you can or can't hit/shoot.
- Play any good car game from the 90s or 2000s. Or any game with good plane handling. Or games with motorcycles. The controls in this game should have been better than old games, not worse.
- They force realism where it's not fun, and remove it from where it would be. You complain about dying to easily on foot and people mock you for complaining about it being too realistic, and then you complain about the totally unrealistic car stuff and they deride you saying It's a video game.
- They removed classic car controls, x for gas square for brake, something people really liked/wanted, but force you to tap x for walking/biking. Really takes some fun out of biking.
- the fact that you have to sit through the yoga mission. This is nothing less than insulting.
- To roll, you must first equip a weapon, then hold one button, then press another. 3-4 button preses for a roll. yeah, real fun.
- there's more, much more, it's crazy that people are saying it's perfect. that the cars and mechanics are just right. You're all insane, I can't imagine how sh*tty games are going to be in 20 years withs tuff like this happening.
I really don't understand people giving this game a 10/10. At least I can take cover and roll in GTA IV without stupid requirements. Sheesh.
And Rockstar's solution to a fix? Remove the feature. Rockstar, EA, and all those other companies are so fucking alike. Release a game full of glitches and it'll take forever to fix (otherwise, they'll remove a feature to fix something). Fucking ballsack.
