[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 6189849, member: 58416"] I want to clarify something else I said. I don't necessarily think the driving in GTA 5 is bad, but I think some aspects of it took a step backward from GTA 4. In particular, it seemed to me that the various cars in 4 had more individual personalities. That is to say the different cars actually felt different. While that's true to an extent in GTA 5, not so much. Also, as weird as this may sound, the driving (of cars) in GTA 5 is almost too smooth. In 4, I could do things like skid and countersteer and other such things; techniques to use during a chase for evasive driving... or just to do something cool. In 5, it's almost like the handling is too good for the cars, and while I can do some skids and slides with the handbrake, the tires feel too sticky for a lack of better words. Taking things a few notches back toward 4 (but certainly not the whole way back because 5 did fix some annoying car issues that 4 had,) would make driving feel like it has more personality. I've finally got to the point where I'm ok enough with how aiming works in the game to not want to rage quit. I had to play around with the options for a while, but I've discovered that I do much better on free aim, and I had to play around with the sensitivity settings for a while to get something that works for me. I still feel it's (the aiming and gunplay) my least favorite aspect of the game, but I'm at least ok with it enough at this point to continue playing the game. Mostly, I'm just baffled by how things can feel so smooth in Maxx Payne, but then be so clunky in GTA when both games are made by the same company. Overall, I highly enjoy the game. As I said previously, the sheer amount of stuff I can do is pretty amazing. Things like golf and tennis are complete enough to be relatively full games inside of the game that is GTA. A lot of small touches and small details make the city feel more alive than many of the previous games. Though, in spite of all of the many things I love, the things that bother me really really bother me. As such, while I highly enjoy the game, and I do feel it stands head and shoulders above many games, I don't believe I'd be able to place GTA 5 on my list of favorites if I were making a personal top 10 list.
