Top Ten Reasons Grand Theft Auto V Sucks

The Top Ten
1 Shark Cards

Love shark cards, Rstar made like 100s of millions last year, encouraging and giving them incentive to release loadsa dlc for people like me who wouldn't buy a shark card even if I won the lottery

Wait what you mean killing a shark?

It's all Rockstar care about now.

This should be number one.

My cousin has nearly ruined his moms life with these. Every week he begs her to buy him one and then it's gone so fast. She's probably confused with this.

2 Police become too aggressive

This happened to me once. I had bought a new truck and taken it to the top of Mt. Chiliad. Once I was at the top I got out and went over to some binoculars to look out at the mountains, but I didn't see that someone was already using it. I push him out of the way and he gets mad, and THEN he calls the police. Once the police got there they took out assault rifles and started shooting me. I didn't want to lose my truck so I drove it off the edge of the mountain to get away, resulting in one lost tire and a bunch of dents. Why? WHY?!?

I wanna know how the police suddenly know that I stabbed a guy in the neck in the Mt Chilidad State Wilderness mountains and how they're all on top of the mountain when it happens

I would like there to be a reasonable explanation for the police somehow spotting me killing a hitchhiker on a mountain.

I stole a cargobob from the army there were like 4 tanks trying to shoot and a helicopter with giant rockets see the police is very aggressive

3 Pedestrians lack personality and appearance differences
4 Only five stars

So you rate the game 5 stars? So that means you actually like it

Grand Theft Auto isn't Grand Theft Auto without 6

I wonder what the people at R* were doing

R* man 1: We need a really stupid thing for the game

Man 2:well is it Grand Theft Auto 5?

Man 1:yes

Man 2:and the previous had 6 stars right?

Man 1: yes

Man 2: Grand Theft Auto 5 and 6 stars... Let's make it 5 stars!

Other workers: woah

5 The loading screen

WOW 5 seconds feels like an hour!?! Some people are too impatient

By the time the games starts, I don't have time to play anymore.

Loading is becoming increasingly as bad as 360

6 The city area is not big enough

Okay, first, Grand Theft Auto V is unarguably one of the best games of all time. All the items listed below are either good points or bad points depending on your perspective. Even if all of them were true and they're not, I doesn't mean that the game sucks. You can't say that the game sucks because it doesn't regardless of your opinion. Even if you disagree with certain specs of the game just like I do, you can't look away from how impressive this game is. It has an incredible story, incredible game play, incredible sense of freedom just like the older versions, incredible graphics with great and diverse visuals. Okay, San Andreas had a slightly bigger map. However, since the graphics were weaker, you just had more space on the disc. Those bashing this game are hipster relics from the 90's who can't get over San Andreas, and that's coming from a 90's kid who played both Vice City and San Andreas. Grand Theft Auto IV was kind of a let down on certain levels but the fact that the fifth ...more

Off the subject...why the hell can't I write an expletive in my creator content title but I can be called an c@cksvcker 20 times a day by random npc, Absolute nonsense from an ahem 18+ game...Also why can't I keep a police car or uniform, is this too hard for a crimelord with a fleet of air and armoured vehicles, these two points (while not being at the top of my list) are the most idiotic rules of the game, they even patched so you couldn't glitch it, WHAT THE F FOR! too much fun? really? its little ish like that, that really gets me pissed.

Extremely true, even rockstar left the events, restaurants, body building and much more funny thing with Grand Theft Auto sanandreas.

I thinK they are just developing the graphics and decreasing the fun and events.

As they keep gaining more money, more bad content will keep coming...

It's not small though. I think San Andreas was better in having 3 cities but making each of them different. Grand Theft Auto V does have one big city but it lacks an identity.

7 Extremely overrated

Totally agree, story suck compare to Grand Theft Auto IV ( and the episode ) the humor suck, all the characters are mostly boring and not memorable, the only interesting thing about this game is the amount of activities ( but some are definitely boring : Yoga, everyone? ), I feel like Rockstar shouldn't have listen to those whiney little kid who wanted a more lightearted cartoonish Grand Theft Auto because they hated Grand Theft Auto IV gritty take, playing Grand Theft Auto V was like playing a more grounded and realistic Saint Row and this is really, really disappointing shame on you R* for not being true to your standard and delivers us a new milestone like you always did with each game you make before Grand Theft Auto V

They get millions of real money, but can't even handle cheaters/modders who have ruined online play, very overrated game when it's a poor cheat fest.

Being overrated doesn't mean bad, but this game is totally over-saturated.

Grand Theft Auto San andreas will always be betted

8 No gang wars in single player

Grand Theft Auto IV has gang wars. San Andreas has gang wars. Grand Theft Auto so-and-so has gang wars. Grand Theft Auto V has no gang war.

Aw,the child is sad that it doesn't include a single feature from the previous games.

Yeah how can you have Grove Street without gangstas lol Franklin is just a poser

Rockstar is stupid

9 Online is the same thing, just a few different features.

Online rocks! You can destroy the train easily and...you can play with friends that means you can get a flat car and a bike then get onto your bike then tell your friend to get in the car you both put full speed on and then you use the car that your friend is using as a ramp and you are flying :3

The big problem is rockstar won't even update singleplayer cause maybe they thought communication with others is better than personal space.

Hackers in every corner.

Online sucks

10 Most buildings are inaccessible

I'd start playing right now, literally, if I could enter, at least,...the malls, hotels, random buildings I stumble across. It'd be a nice surprise and force me to explore to enter and cause havoc to each interior I find. Even make achievements for each interior!

Yeah! Totally agree with this, this category should be in top 3 on the list, I hope rockstar games makes at least 50% of the buildings are accessible in the next Grand Theft Auto

At least there is a super secret building in Grand Theft Auto 5 in the airport you can easily access it but the police will chase you for sure

Grand Theft Auto IV had some inaccessible buildings too, but this abomination has even more inaccessible buildings...plus, you can't access the Hospital.

The Contenders
11 Rude pedestrians

Just kill the rude pedestrians, me and my brother do it all the time
Or point a gun at them and they will run. They are just trying to make the people like they are in Los Angeles, rude, materialistic, and selfish.

All I did was push someone out of my way. He called the cops and 1 minute later I'm driving off the edge of a mountain to save myself from the gun shots.

I got the cops called on me for walking past a Pedestrian doing absolutely nothing

All I did was push someone out of my way and I got the cops called on me. *facepalm*

12 Johnny's death
13 Car damage model is weaker than GTA 4

Crashing into a wall in Grand Theft Auto IV: The car's front gets beat in

Crashing into a wall in Grand Theft Auto V: The car's front has a tiny dent

Unrealistic.

Well,would you rather explode as soon as you touched another car or last a long while until your car goes boom.

Grand Theft Auto IV: Crash into another car. Car goes BOOM.
Grand Theft Auto V: Crash into a truck. Car has a dent.

Not a lie its pathetic

14 Not enough cheats

This is my problem with it. San Andreas had over 100 cheats. You can knock into cars and make them float in the sky. I wish Grand Theft Auto V spent less time on mini games and more time on letting you cause chaos in the actual world.

Why play it with cheats? I want to play the actual game.

Grand Theft Auto games are not made for cheats

Grand Theft Auto with cheats sucks

15 Poor vehicle handling

Oops I pressed this by mistake. Anyways Grand Theft Auto 5 is still a good game though...

Ice Skating and Driving in Grand Theft Auto V have a little difference.

The cars in Grand Theft Auto v feel like cars from an arcade game from N64. -._ -.

Driving physics are extremely unfun. Very hard to steer and difficult to control at any pleasurable speed. Realism does not automatically equal fun. The driving felt okay in Grand Theft Auto 4, but in Grand Theft Auto 5 everything feels cumbersome and mean, especially the sports cars.

16 Lack of interiors

Massive one for me, The possibilities would be great, especially the casino everyone wants. Imagine playing poker, blackjack etc. (especially as x1 lacks a poker game). the map is big enough but not enough city but probably if they made more interiors it would slow down, this is already happening when lobby's are full and its slowly starting to feel like the 360 the more content that's released - solution, decrease lobby size from 30 to maybe 24 but this would imply they couldn't maintain one of the big selling points of next gen Grand Theft Auto while also showing the limited capabilities of so-called next gen...x1, (more like xbox 360 HD)

This should be at the top of the list, you'd be amazed at how much better the game would be if we could enter the buildings that Rockstar constantly patch.

Are you really saying vehicle interiors are unrealistic, you can even see the speed and everything clearly you've never played first person

Bigger cities = Longer loading times Make your choice now!

17 The storyline was kinda clichè.

Stupid story, makes no sense, marathon of impossible story missions and stupid heists...this game is downright just dumb and a embarrassment to the Grand Theft Auto series...even Grand Theft Auto 1, 2, and Advanced had plot, but sadly this game is better than Advanced... - Gehenna

I downright love Grand Theft Auto V, along with the past games. But the storyline wasn't that thoughtful. Grand Theft Auto IV was deep and powerful, and Grand Theft Auto SA was very creative.

Go to point B. Kill X person. Come back to point A. Go to point C. Talk to Y person. Go to point D. Do what Y told you. Come back to point C. Kill Y. Go to point Q. Epilogue.

18 No main protagonist

Should be rephrased " No compelling protagonist". All Grand Theft Auto series up to Grand Theft Auto V had compelling protagonists with a realistic arch that applied both to gameplay and character motivation (i.e. Nico starts in the Russian part of Liberty City with small time fistfights against loan sharks, CJ starts in the ghetto doing gang missions, Tommy gets into fights with construction workers - i.e. small time yet entertaining missions that build on character's motivation and ground them in their area from which they are sometimes forced out of like in Grand Theft Auto 4 and San Andreas making for diverse gameplay and advancing narrative). Grand Theft Auto V lacks this despite the potential with Franklin. Grand Theft Auto V definitely does not suck but the lack of compelling protagonists, fleshed out by a story arch told through progressive gameplay makes it, based on my experience, less engaging than the other titles.

Is this really a problem? It was clearly shown that there would be three characters to switch between. The main story is between Michael and Trevor anyway so they're basically the main characters and Franklin is the middle man.

I don't think any of the 3 could've stood on their own, but I think the gameplay was more of a problem. Since each character had their own struggles and interests, there were 5 villains and none got to shine.

The main protagonist was Franklin in my eyes.

19 Horrible HUD

Grand Theft Auto V has the worst HUD of all Grand Theft Auto games. IV HUD was bad enough but V HUD is even worse.

It's just a stupid box. Rockstar made a dumb decision.

20 Not able to crouch

Small detail which make a nice difference

Well, I'm glad we're focused on the real issues.

I need to dodge the incoming bullet.

Why do you even want to crouch?.

21 AK 47 and M16 rifles sound weak

Almost all the guns feel like pea shooters

That's why I hate suppressors.

Guns, more like bubble guns

They didn't even add m16a2 and a1

22 Mario does not make a cameo

Rockstar Games would be sued if they did that

Mario dies after Luigi steals Peach and shoots him

He the final boss along with cocaine wario

But that doesn't mean that the game is bad.

23 Can't make Chop happy without Chop app

Why do we need a smartphone for this, Rockstar are starting to be greedy nowadays?

The app is free, so whine elsewhere.

Not everyone has an iPhone!

24 Ridiculous looking character animations

Mehhh its actually good unless you really look at it or zoom in.

Their lips look so weird

Eyeballs to be specific.

Don't say that! It's rude!

25 It is the bestseller of the Grand Theft Auto franchise for no reason

I don't even know why it is. The bestseller should've been San Andreas.

Who ever put this on the list is mentally retarded.

Because of online, douche

San Andreas is better.
