GTA 4 was still solid, in my opinion. It’s a way better game than 5.
I’m looking forward to 6. I’m hoping 5 was a minor blip sandwiched between great games, like GTA 2. I never play online but I hope this game is truly on par with Vice City in quality.
I can see that, too. It is smaller but I liked the return to Liberty City but in a new and improved engine. It was fun and had the kind of classy setting I liked from driving around at night in GTA 3 to classical music.
GTA 5 really disappointed me because that was the actual spiritual sequel to San Andreas. 5 had one large city but the rest was rural areas and small rundown towns. It made it feel way smaller than San Andreas’ three cities to me. I still prefer San Andreas to 5.
