Considering how GTA 4 and 5 turned out, you goes shouldn't be over hyping this game.
Both were great games?
They're not bad games, but each one of them is a major downgrade in some way. With 4 it has improvements over San Andreas, but it ended up being a downgrade as well, GTA 5 is the same as well. So far SA is the only GTA game which improved things without downgrading anything as well.
GTA 4:
-With San Andreas we have many environments to drive around in, Liberty City on the other hand is just a city. Each area ends up looking the same.
-With SA we have a wide variety of flying vehicles, with 4 we just have a few helicopters.
-With SA we are able to customize are cars in a similar way to GTA 5, with GTA 4 that feature was removed.
-With SA we have a good selection of weapons, with 4 it's just a basic selection of them.
-With SA we are able to customize Carl in a far superior way than what we are able to do with GTA 4 characters.
-The cheat codes for SA are far more superior to the ones we have in 4.
-The campaign missions for SA are widely fun and enjoyable. For 4 RockStar put too much focus on realism which killed the game. The only level which stands out in 4 is the level where we rob a bank. Compared to the missions in SA, that mission would be low tier.
The flying vehicles are shit due to Rockstar changing the mechanics to them. With SA anybody can fly something, with 4 and 5 you have to be MLG level to not crash.
With SA we are able to turn the wanted level off, with this game all we can do is lower it.
GTA 5:
The environment is an improvement over 4, but it's still has the same problem of not having much to it. There's only one city, a few towns and a small desert and forest. The rest of the land it taking over by pointless mountains and a lake. The majority of the land is unusable for ground vehicles. RockStar put too much focus on that underwater world which I'm sure hardly anybody explores.
The car crashes ended up reverting back to something the 3d games used. I know with this gen and PC they changed it, but it's still the fact that they went back to a inferior system.
The online is ruined due to micro- transactions and ranks. If you're not a high level then you're going to have a bad time due to the inferior weapons and not being able to save certain vehicles which are locked behind a rank.
With 4 we are to play the online without a wanted level, but this game we don't have the option to.
The wanted level system in this game is just shit. It doesn't matter where you are, you can't do an action like firing you gun without getting a star.
The cheat codes are still shit.
You still have to be MLG level in order to control a helicopter.
