One of my most hated games and mostly because of the garbage controls and physics.

Lool ok, since when a game with 98 meta score and 8 user score is thevmost hated game? Just because some 30 years olds in Era didn't like it it's the most hated? Ok dude, whatever you say

I don't think it is "bad on purpose" but that Rockstar don't know how to make a game that controls well, and focus on animation priority over responsiveness.
People often cite Max Payne 3 as controlling much better than the GTA or RDR games, and while that may be true, it still doesn't control well - especially on PC if you're trying to use a mouse.

Use a cheap TV with lots of input lag if you think it somehow enhances the experience, instead of encouraging developers to make games that control badly.
You could use this to excuse practically anything. What a nothing statement.
It's fair enough if you don't like them, but it wouldn't have sold so many milestones if the controls were objectionably bad.
honestly one of the strangest takes I've seen in a while, MP3 on mouse is amazing, and I've never heard anyone imply that it's better played with a gamepad.
Just my opinion but it's known as one of the most overrated games on MC.
I'm confused because I'm pretty sure the game managed to get second OT and everytime there is poll thread about how ERa feel about RDR2 the positive choice always outnumber negative choice by huge margin. Not to mention RDR2 got 2nd place in 2018 ERA GOTY.
The game has severe negative acceleration - so the faster you move the mouse, the slower the camera turns.
The higher resolution your mouse is, and the lower the in-game sensitivity is, the worse it gets.
In my personal experience, there are so many people that find the success of these games so frustrating and mind boggling that attempting to engage them is more likely to get them to insult your taste or hell, even you as a person, instead of anything approaching a conversation. Even this barebones OP has to take a shot at GTAV having a high Metacritic score because it can never be just about how you feel, but how other people are actually wrong in how they feel.
Most people like these games, at least, that's the impression I get whenever numbers get involved, but I think they've just learnt to not bother engaging with the hatred.
I'm confused on why this should even confuse anyone. I'm not trying to downplay these games' qualities, I'm highligthing what the focus of GTA and Red Dead is. The fact that hardcore gamers aren't the main focus doesn't mean that hardcore gamers won't like it. Like the FIFA games, it's made to be liked by a huge audience, it's not a niche, pure gameplay experience.
GTA doesn't focus on gameplay, it's clear as day. Just like Botw doesn't focus on story.
Pretty much. They do everything just well enough for most people to be pleased with it. It's one of those cases about the sum of the parts being what people remember, or notice to begin with, not necessarily the minutia of every aspect of the game. RDR2 might have pushed it a bit with its lenghty animations, but the majority of people seem to just accept it for what it is.
I think it's a game ahead of it's time. Rockstar is already preparing us for the brave new streaming future where there will be lag in every game.
Turn on lock on targeting if you need it. If you're playing with a controller then you're used to games helping you aim.
I'd recommend messing with the control settings until they feel better. For example, I think the deadzone settings on a controller are set to maximum by default and that feels pretty awful.
Even when you've got it right it will still feel like you're controlling a permanently drunk character when you're on foot, but I found the gunplay and in particular the vehicle gameplay of GTAV to be fantastic. GTAV online is one of the best open world racing games ever if you have people to play with, which is where I got most of my fun from the game.

Yeah the deadzone feels awful, didn't know you could change it.
There is, I played the whole game in first person, with third person cover + driving, and I had a much better time than if I tried to wrestle with third person (also, no need to keep tapping to sprint!)
I disagree that the gameplay was bad, played through the campaign at least 6 times, but I no dev would purposefully make their game play bad, so no.
That's not what he's saying. Look at the thread title.
Not really.
GTA V's gameplay is not bad, it's serviceable at worse. It has one of the most casual audience by virtue of being one of the best selling game of the last decade, meaning that people who aren't used to play games manage to play this one quite easily.
it's more like "I like this, therefore it can't be bad by accident, it must have been purposefully designed to be bad"
MGS V animations look fuckin silly a lot of times . Uncharted 4 or AC games are the best middle ground .
Well the car driving is definitely a lot better than GTA IV's fridge on rollerskates controls. Your character still controls like driving a forklift through a hedge maze though that seems to be a staple of the series. I don't why you still have to mash a button to run, the recent Yakuza games does this too. :/
the sprinting animation looks and feels so good
Sprinting into a dive into a crawl looks and feels so good
Neither of those game show have animation priority, especially not the latter.
picking up items and doing cqc and just overall animations always felt like it was sped up by significant amount
Souls has animation priority.
It's not the correct term for MGSV though, correct. I guess a better way to have phrased it is that both Souls games and MGSV have high fidelity animations, without input lag
i don't think so?
you can cancel attacks in sekiro, but that's not a souls game
Rockstar prioritizes animation over responsiveness, it's s design devising many people appreciate.
I had no qualms with the controls on PS4, but auto aim certainly dampens my enjoyment. That's on me actually.
A setting that changes the running to the analogue stick like the old titles?
