@Galvatron We obviously have different tastes in games.
I like GTA's single player aspects. I come to the game for the story like other big story games over the years like The Witcher , Final Fantasy, Deus Ex, Tomb Raider or Neverwinter Nights.
I just need a more fleshed out experience. E.g. when it comes to racing I want a detailed experience like Gran Turismo, Project Cars, F1 or even the original/rebooted Need for Speed Hot Pursuit games. I like to be able to customize, tune and practice racing craft realistically.
Multiplayer co-op doesn't really interest me that much, I feel I get much of the same enjoyment from RTS games or multiplayer FPS games. Like Age of Empires II HD on PC for example if I want that.
And I have plenty of FPS's I enjoyed over the years from CS:Source to Unreal Tournament that I feel fufilled when it comes to multiplayer FPS games that are more specfically focussed at FPS gaming and less competitive.
Having said that I've never really been a fan of the competitive MMO's like CS:Go, Starcraft II, Diablo III, Overwatch, Dota 2 with all the online ranking/leveling up systems, so perhaps in that sense that is why I don't like GTA Online so much.
I understand others like that though.
I just prefer something I can step in and out of when I want and get a meaningful experience from whether that be an interesting story in a single player campaign or connection with other people where competition isn't really much of a factor and also that means I can leave the games for a couple of months when I get busy which is pretty regularly.
2018 won't happen. If PS5 was being released in 2018 we would be hearing a lot of rumours alongside next-gen gaming engines at E3 a few weeks ago.
If you know what kit is available from chip manufacturers you would know that the hardware wouldn't be much different to Xbox One X and PS4 Pro hardware anyways if Sony did that.
A lot also depends on where AMD, Intel and Nvidia will be hardware wise in the coming years.
People keep buying this game because the supposed game "critics" all decided to give it 90-100% ratings in their reviews. So people think that it is the game to get regardless of its quality.
The game certainly has some interesting scenery and maybe some nice detail however I personally found the story pretty lousy and a constant grind.
People talk about its great side features and things to do. Why can't I enter bars, property I own and nightclubs all around the city?
For me Grand Theft Auto V is actually more like a Just Cause game set in a GTA city.
I liked GTA IV however. I also liked GTA III, it had unique themes that I wish could have been or be explored more deeply with a bigger world.

Re: Hands On: Can Crash Team Racing Compete with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
To this day I find that CTR is still a better game than any Mario Kart title that has been released.
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 6.51 Released, But It's Nothing Fancy
@Sanctanox Steam has this problem too. The username is the primary key. Although you can set your display name different from your username.
Re: Saviour of Sony and King of Memes, PlayStation Legend Kaz Hirai Announces Retirement
A good person who cared about gamers. Will be missed. Good that he stays on as a senior advisor and others still exist like joi ito on the board.
Re: Interview: MediEvil Creators Give Their Verdict on the Forthcoming PS4 Remaster
I wonder what the devs look like these days compared to when I saw them on the PS1 demo disc interview when I was a kid.
