I think of buying GTA V for 60 ?, but I want to ask you Escapists if it's worth that much.

The online mode is not helped by the fact that it's incomplete and Rockstar have screwed it up at literally every step. Also, Rockstar are lying bastards who claimed that they fixed the stat problem, when I just lost levels in two stats weeks after it was fixed. And it's not an issue of me not saving or something, since those stats were higher for weeks. Honestly, I feel really bad for anyone who puts money into the online game, as it looks like the bugs they wanted to work out before the stimulus drop happened are still somewhat there.SaneAmongInsane said:It's okay.
I felt the 3 different protagonist thing hurt the story more than it helped.
The online mode is lukewarm at best, and I personally said the hell with it when I got chucked into the bad players lobby for no reason.
I can make my own fun in ANY game, though, and many games aren't as restrictive.CarnageRacing00 said:Screwing around afterward is even more fun. It's not an RPG, and i think that's a mistake a lot of people make so the activities run out eventually, but with a good imagination you can make your OWN fun. Try landing a passenger get on a sky scraper. It CAN be done... and it's a lot of fun trying.
If that was the prevailing logic, we wouldn't have many sandboxes at all. Many were created as heavy ripoffs of the GTA series.CarnageRacing00 said:I understand your point of view, but that's why you have Saints Row, and you have GTA. If both were identical, what would be the reason of having both?
What do you mean by "rewards?" what games, for that matter?Personally, I couldn't get into Saints Row. Yeah, freedom and all, but it was all a bit TOO silly for me. That might sound strange but there just weren't any stakes involved. No reward for exploration. Just balls to the wall insanity, anywhere, any time.
Which it's not. It's absurd and cartoony. I think you're working backwards from "I like it" to "therefore it's more grounded in reality" rather than from the logical standpoint. You like it because you like it. Why try and rationalise it with something that's just not true?I LIKE that GTA is more grounded in reality - I didn't say realistic, I say more grounded in reality.
I can't see how, but whatever floats your boat.It makes the car chases much more fun for me.
Saints Row 3 is where the series downgraded to shallow and hollow. One of the reasons SA reminds me of SR2 is because it brings back the diversity of Stilwater on a larger map. Hell, Stilwater IS a larger map than Steelport. Not huge like SA, but what game is, honestly?You don't interact with Steel Port, you DO interact with San Andreas.
