Well, this is more like it.
For all it's innovations, HD splendor, excellent writting and characters, GTA IV didn't feel complete. Plagued with pacing problems from gameplay to the narrative, it felt at times, like a drag. It's direct, awesome sequels The Lost and The Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony where implemented much more smoothly. I loved playing The Ballad, it was a blast to play and was the only title in that series I completed. Now GTA V is out and it's a hell of a lot better.
GTA V is about polish. Driving, fighting and shooting mechanics has been perfected. It feels so good. Oh yeah, there are planes to fly and real estate to purchase and stock markets to invest in and golf courses to conquer. Oh my!
Featuring 3 direct narrative protagonists, you switch between them in real time advancing the game and plot. It's done so fast, so smoothly. I'm far from completing the narrative. However, I don't want to end it. Its oh so good. I love these characters. I love this plot. I love this world.
Heck, I haven't even tried the online mode which I here, is just as compelling.
