That’s right, kiddies. I begin the list and end the list with a Rockstar game. Why? Because Rockstar are, without question, the greatest game developers of all time. Hands down, without question. Their ambition was always impressive, but with Grand Theft Auto V, I truly believe they finally may have perfected their formula.
Yes, perfected.
I played Grand Theft Auto V religiously, as you all know from this article and from how accurate this article ended up being, and it exceeded all my expectations. Not only that, but Rockstar gave me a game that I would have never thought a current-gen system could run.
Every single thing from the gameplay to the mission structure was perfect. As a matter of fact, it was SO perfect, that most people tell me they were sad when it ended, and wished it was longer. Yes, a GTA game FINALLY achieved that. It had no single mission that was so hard or frustrating that you would get stuck on it. Every character was brilliant in their own right, and the flow of the game was remarkable. On top of that, the game brought back one element that had been missing in the past few entries: fun. GTA V is the most fun I have ever had in an open world game, period.
My one complaint for Grand Theft Auto V is so insignificant that I don’t even want to say it, but I will, just to give you guys even more reason to hate me. I genuinely felt that 90’s rock and alt rock in general was not represented in the radio selection. Outside of that, everything, including the music they DID put in, was awesome. Except for that Spanish station. What a fucking waste. No offense to our one Spanish reader. Hey Juan, holla!
Now it’s your turn. Tell me, are you mad I didn’t include one of the Halo games? Maybe a bit pissed no RPGs were represented on this list? Maybe a should have had more than one indie game? What about the first two Batman games? What about any PS3 love? What about WAAAAAHHHH? Listen, I had to pick six, but I love hundreds. Also, I don’t have a PS3, so suck it, or buy me one. Your choice.
Okay, enough nit picking.
