Open-world games have become the realized vision of gaming’s steady growth. The original top-down Grand naturalvision Enhanced Theft Auto on Playstation was one of the first games to implement the open-ended, free-form-mission structure that would later become the series’ trademark feature. While Grand Theft Auto II made steady improvements, Grand Theft Auto III on Playstation 2 was lauded for its 3D exploration and expansive nature. GTA III became the grandiose innovator of the series and the benchmark by which open-world games would later be judged. Vice City followed that idea, adding unique style and more cosmetic creativity thanks to its Miami Beach-inspired setting.

When the dust of this generation settles, no one is going to remember Nier , Dark Void , NeverDead or Legendary . But I will continue to think of them as the games that put a smile on my face more so than the majority of last year's heavy hitt

Unless you're aspiring to be Niko Bellic, it's probably a good idea to not constantly call other contacts for no reason. Of course, if you get some satisfaction from bugging your friends, be happy because Rockstar has acknowledged your cancerous prese

But once San Andreas was released in 2004, Rockstar adopted a mentality that ended up damaging the vision of an open-world. Unlike Vice City , San Andreas expanded the world size considerably, encompassing three major cities instead of just one. It was a technical endeavor for the Playstation 2, no doubt, but it also drew upon a number of issues that have made the open-world setup more problematic than it did back in the day. Making a world bigger requires many more activities to keep things interesting. Otherwise, you’re wandering around from mission to mission with barely any sort of activity. It might as well be empty space. Changeable topography, different challenges that appear while moving from location to location, these types of things keep that lull between missions away. San Andreas didn’t suffer from that too much, but it brought to light the idea that spreading something out can leave plenty of weak spots in between.

There are tons of things to do as either Michael, Franklin, or Trevor in Grand Theft Auto V . Completing missions, doing errands, visiting various locations or hanging out with other characters; there are a ton of options at the player's fingertips. However, if for some reason you feel like acting like a stalker, then you can do that as well. Rockstar has programmed something for your questionable behavior as w

Why did they unveil the trailer at that time and when would the game come out? Comparing the announcement to previous Rockstar Games unveilings and corresponding release dates led most media outlets to believe the game would be coming this fall, but with Rockstar pushing back the release date of Max Payne 3 to avoid competing against Mass Effect 3 (a la Ghost Recon: Future Soldier ), we're now second-guessing ourselves for placing it in our list of most anticipated games of 20

Rockstar remains one of the classic innovators of gaming, letting loose an expansive, free-form-mission mentality that would pioneer the success of the "open-world" genre. Grand Theft Auto is the crown jewel of that kingdom. It’s an international phenomenon and one of the most important game series of all time. With Grand Theft Auto V , Rockstar made the biggest open world of its kind, but despite its commercial success, the developer is simply giving into its own very hazardous addiction. Grand Theft Auto V simply exacerbated the recurring issue that has been plaguing the series since Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , an issue that is continuing to drain the studio’s credibility in making top-shelf open world games.

Grand Theft Auto IV was an even bigger offender. The re-designed Liberty City was able to be bigger and more expansive than ever, thanks to new consoles’ horsepower, but once again, Rockstar’s vision of vastness ended up making the game more tedious than it should be. Traversal was slow and cumbersome, thanks to messy, "realistic" physics for vehicles, leaving the entire game feeling restrictive. Sure, there was a lot to do, but the downtime between missions was more noticeable and intrusive than ever. What especially makes this such a problem is that open-world games’ major flaw, that downtime where you’re traversing from activity to activity, was solved. Open-world gaming had moved into other franchises like Assassin’s Creed (which offered a parkour traversal system that was smooth and acrobatic) and InFamous (which had a ton of fast, action-based missions that required mobility). Even licensed properties like The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction solved the problem of boring traversal with a fluid and momentum-driven way to get around the city (and that appeared in the generation before GTA IV). In that light, Grand Theft Auto IV was slow and fragmented, and with the world growing larger and larger with each new installment in the series, this problem was sure to escalate into downright tedium.
