This is solid. Not straying far from the TDE sound, but it's solid.
There's nothing realistic about how the characters move (specifically during combat) in GTA. Weighty? Sure. Realistic? Nope. You can feel the game's animation and physics engine fighting you every step of the way as you try to make what should be quick and painless moves for anyone under the age of 50 who's still robbing banks. Hell, the game's barely balanced for your character's abilities- every single enemy is a high damage dealing hitscan sharpshooter from 100 yards with a pistol.
And hold on, you saying GTA's locomotion is better than Uncharted's? Am I reading this right?

Never had a problem with how GTA felt, especially V.
And you aren't alone on Uncharted, Enzo. Always felt like gahbage to me.
Once I started dodging + counter attacking and using signs I started enjoying the combat a lot.

Lmao exactly what I have to resist. Early on I would freak out against groups of enemies and just start rolling all over the place. Actually makes the fight harder since you lose any rhythm and can roll right into damage from an enemy.

I think Max Payne had better movement/gunplay than uncharted for sure
But as fun as GTA is the control in that the manual gunplay in that can be a damn mess

This is one of those moments where I'm just going to assume you ran the game on PC and were bottlenecked by your CPU or something, or downloaded some Russian extra-difficulty-yes fanmod of the game.
Maybe your shots didn't register so the enemies looked like they were omnipotent because you missed their heads or it went through their model and you only saw the bullets that hit you, perhaps the framerate was a bit choppy so you couldn't gauge your character's movement in a single direction accurately. At least, that would explain this strange account of what the game's combat and motion is like. Holy hyperbole Batman.
V was a step down from MP 3 I'll admit, which is a little weird. You'd figure the R* studios share code and shit but maybe with the long dev time they already had that stuff in place. I dunno. That being said, it was never a problem for me.
I'm betting their next game will be more like MP 3. You can already see that they heard some of the complaints with all of the added control options in the PS4/Xbone versions.

Yo now my PC is at fault for Rockstar North's inability to step it up on a mechanics level. I don't know how to respond anymore.
And concerning Uncharted: If there's anything that game gets right it's third person character movement. It's effortless. And even when they went to The Last of Us and used a more weighty movement system it still felt better than ANYTHING Rockstar's ever made. Sprinting into an elbow smash in that game is like visceral combat 101.
Youse guys are crazy

I'm really liking the Thugger/popcaan track off Jamie XX's new release/ Has me dancing at my desk.
Definitely one of my favorite tracks this year.
The whole Jamie xx album is dope. Wasn't feeling it too much but my second listen (and first on headphones) had it grow on me.

Isn't Jak 2 widely considered the worst one? Where they aped GTA (unsuccessfully) because why not?
Fjordson pls, I thought you were making some progress coming around on Sleeping Dogs. Don't do dis 2 me

MP3 was the one with weird movement imo.
Rockstar actually adds weight to all their characters and blends animations, but I'm not trying to have that in an arcadey game. That's why Uncharted works great, they give you that 5'3" 110lb Canadian gafhop poster movement for a 225lb 6'4" killer of multi ethnic pirates.

Lmao, maybe it was Jak 3?? It was open-world though I remember that. But I liked it! I mean I liked Last of Us too, just dragged a little for me after a while.
Not a masterpiece like Sleeping Dogs. What a game. Of course by the time I come around on it the only upcoming game in the series is some free to play thing. So sad.

I don't always kill multi-ethnic pirates, but when I do, I need the athleticism of a 5'3" 110 lbs Canadian GafHop poster.
; ______ ;
Jak 2 gameplay was dope. It was just too much of a thematic departure from the original.
I always fucked with the Ratchet series more tho. That couldve been a bigger series for Sony.

GTAV plays like other GTA games, serviceably. MP3 controlled well. R* makes good games, and you get used to all movement schemes.
Their only real misstep is being gigantic cacs with the embarrassing year-long generation-spanning online heists rollout. Shameful.
edit: also you know Liberty City Stories had the best hip-hop station

Needledrop: A$AP Rocky - At. Long. Last. A$AP ALBUM REVIEW
heard of it but not sure, let me know if you find out haha
5/10

Facts. Give you what you promised a year and a half later, fuck that.
I want R*'s next game to do what RDR did just in another time/setting in history (that also isn't modern). I know that's vague, and it's not like the Western/American frontier is worn out by good games already, but I'd rather something new than another similar tale.
Or maybe an expanded Bully. The possibilities are endless for Bully/school-themed games IMO, so many different cultural things to attack.
New Bully could be so 👹
R* cant make that these days.

Someone needs to do a samurai take on a RDR style game. Unfortunately it won't be Rockstar, but I'll take a Ubisoft version of that at this point. Something, anything.
And RDR didn't even scratch the surface of what they can do with the setting so I hope they really go all out again (without any GTAV style regressions in core gameplay). I really want them to play up the outlaw, gang, gold, and war aspects of the genre. More mythical drifter stuff as well.
A new Bully has been my most wanted game from them for years. I don't know if they have it in them to make a smaller quirky game like that anymore though. Even Max Payne 3 which should've been a mid-budget title was like $100m of bad modern design decisions.

Something Bully-related would be nice. I'd personally love to see a dirty-cop related GTA.
Witcher and Bethesda's are quite different. Witcher is much more linear. It has a more immersive story line and more personal context because the developers and writers are able to focus on a character with a singular story, personality, and traits. Whereas both Fallout and Elder Scrolls are much more open in their plot devices, game play, and combat styles.

I think so. Some people will say it loses steam after the first 4 books or so, but I loved the whole thing.
It's not just a western though, so depends on what you're looking for. Lots of sci-fi and fantasy stuff and King gets really bizarre in the last few books.
