I’ve heard about gta v for a long time and played a bit of the online. And I was really excited going into the story based on how good rdr2 is. Its characters are really strong and have cool moments but it lacks the depth that the characters in rdr2 have. There’s 70 missions which could give tons of room for really digging deep into the characters but a lot of them are just fun goofy side quests which is ok but coming from a game like gta and a studio like rockstar I kind of expected more. Pretty much the whole time I was just thinking about how much I wanted to play rdr2. It’s a shame because there are some real good characters in here, but I think it focused too much on being a LA parody, which was hilarious, than conveying a deep plot. Some people may enjoy that but there are only a couple studios out there capable of producing big budget incredible story games so I was hoping this one would be one of the greats. With all that being said, it’s still gta. It’s still a ton of fun to drive and mess around with friends so it can’t go lower than a 4 (stars). Just like the Witcher 3 does though, it does get me really excited for the next game to release after all of the advancement in story and world building the studio has done in the meantime so that it can come back swinging and bring the best of everything.
