Is GTA considered a "driving game"

The shitboxier, the better.

GTA's driving physics are pretty fantastic, more focused on spectacle than realism. 4 has the most mundane ones and it's still not very real.

>>17359949
it annoys me more than it should that literally 99% of fully upgraded cars & bikes top out at 120-130mph

>>17359980
This. There's no point in even buying any of the supercars when you can get a cheaper sports car and put a turbo in it.

>>17359949
As fun as it is to push the Blista Compact to its limit on the freeway, the Sultan RS is GOAT.

>>17359957

My favorite car by far is the new progen GP1. I honestly don't know what makes driving in the game so fun though... and I'm usually a sucker for realism

Always loved the Banshee, sonic car but it doesn't look as ridiculous or full of angles like most of the others like the Cheetah and Infernus. GTA V has really fun racing but it's extremely arcade and it's stuck behind the grindwall, I think /o/ would talk about it more if you didn't have to play for so long just to get some cars, and even longer to upgrade them to respectable performance.

>>17359949
You can fix this on PC, and it will make you wonder why they bothered to ever put the limit in. Worst decision they made by far.

>>17359949

GTA V is my goto for hooning around in Twingos, Ladas and Miatas. Sandbox games are nice for casual driving and a great addition to standard racing games.

>is GTA a driving game
No, GTA is an ancap simulator with vehicles
>>17359980
The in-game speedometer isn't accurate.

>>17359949
That's because it's not realistic in terms of driving at all. Also the sultan rs is the shit.

>>17360177
not just going off the speedo, have you ever done the top speed freemode challenge? it tracks everyone's speed and i hardly ever see people break 140mph.

My favorite car is the Infernus from GTA IV because its not directly based on a real car, it's more of a custom original design, even though it takes parts from the Pagani Zonda and Murcielago.
I don't like it too much when the other cars look almost exactly like their real life versions.

I haven't played GTA V but I noticed they added that camera inside the car with the whole new first person mode thing. Do you see your character shifting gears? I mean I know most cars are automatic but still.

>>17360488
I'm sort of the opposite, I like it more when it looks like real cars because it feels more real.

>>17360591
No I don't think so

>>17359957
This, that's what I liked about GTA IV, the traffic actually felt like real traffic, unlike GTA V where every other car is a super car.

GTA IV is pretty great with just a speed limiter removal

>>17360591
No, it's america for christ's sake, they all use automatics so there's no reason to add a changing gears animation (I would love a mod for that)

>tfw I daily drive an Albany Emperor in real life

>>17359957

the taxi cab from Liberty City was the shit

The speed limiter is there to make the map feel bigger than it is

>>17363028
friendo, the albany emperor draws style cues from the 70s and 80s fleetwoods (which are body-on-frame, RWD, v8s), not the tiny FWD one you drive.

Banshee
Yakuza Stinger
Borgnine Cab

And the Dodo. Not really a car but I spent more time than I'd be willing to admit dicking around with it.

It really triggers my autism knowing that they still haven't added street address signs in GTA V. I mean, they did it with Midnight Club: LA which was another Rockstar game.

Mine has a V8 and is over 17 feet long. 80s DeVilles would have only been marginally longer.

>GTA Vice City era Sentinel (BMW E28)
>GTA III era Kuruma (Mitsubishi Diamante)
>GTA IV Feroci (Lexus GS)

>>17360765
>unlike GTA V where every other car is a super car
What do you expect if you only drive around in rich areas?

>>17359980
On gtavmods there's a really nice handling mod which makes the driving a lot more realistic. It also changes the damage. That plus the enhanced native trainer revived the game for me. Over 700hrs in singleplayer

>>17364447
Not him but I guess not. As a polack I've never actually been to the US, but in gta 4 everywhere that wasn't Algonquin was full of beaters. I guess it was 2008 back then

>>17364502
Yeah 2008 was the recession, everyone's taking crazy loans out these days
Dat debt-based economy

>>17364509
Yeah my bloody sister took out a fucking 200000 polands mortgage for a flat in the city but then she lost her cushy and well paying job due to substance abuse, and I'm really pissed off about it because she's 30 and depressed and living with my parents again.
I swear I'll never take out a loan in my life, even for a snickers bar.

>>17363993
As does your face. HEH, nothing personnel, kiddo.

>>17364521
Or you can take a loan and not have a life that can crumble to pieces at any moment.

>>17359949
I wouldn't say it's a "driving game" but they focus a lot on it. Like for instance, Benny's Custom Autos or whatever it is on GTA Online. That's pretty neat. Plus I try and find cool color combinations for pearlescent on my cars.

>>17364325
>GTA III Era Kuruma:
it's actually based mainly off a dodge intrepid with some hints of a Toyota Camry
>GTA IV Feroci:
Why does everyone keep saying it's based off a Lexus? It looks way more like a lates 90s Honda Accord.

>>17364433
>enter freemode
>make beeline for abandoned mansion
>acquire sultan RS
>pop all tires
>you are now faster than an infernus

>>17364398
Yeah, but litterally everyother car in non ghetto los santos is some exotic sports car. It should be more luxury cars with some newer econo boxes mixed in.
>>17364436
Yes, every car in that areas is either the
>Asea (Toyota Eco)
>Pinto (smart car)
>that one European car I can't remember the name of, but shouldn't even spawn in traffic anyway
>Emperor (Cadillac fleetwood)
And Christ the Emperor spawns all over the map way to many times, it's ridiculous.
>>17364502
By beaters do you mean just older cars, or actual rusty cars? Because when I play GTA IV the rusty cars only spawn in Bohan (the Bronx) for me. It's probably something to do with the game itself. Also GTA IV was made in 2006/2007. Before the ressesion.

>try to install gta 4 because of muh car handling nostalgia
>game won't register online at all, not even manually
Welp, guess I'll have to pirate it then, fucking cockstar.

It's no Project Cars, but for what it is, the driving, variety of cars and different handling, etc. is really nice. I just wish they'd at least add a flappy paddles manual option.

I wonder why in 17+ years nobody made a manual shift mod for GTA 3+

Even iv never got one

V's map in a new midnight club would be great.

Oh well Forza horizon shits over both anyway

>>17359949
>When driving games are discussed GTA usually isn't brought up
There are driving simulator games and driving spectacle games. GTA is a "spectacle" type game. It is not realistic and is more about how to be a "smooth criminal" than in practicing driving skills to become better at a particular car model.

>>17365588
Forza is one of the best ones I've ever played. I've got Forza 6 and FH3

Yes I know that very well and I just happened to post an Aristo since it's the same body anyway.

What I was implying is why are you saying the Feroci is an old Accord or a Mark II when it clearly is an S140 Aristo/GS300?

I used to zone out with GTA 4 driving around following all the rules of the road, not speeding, stoping at lights, etc. Wish it had turn signals.

My favourite in gta5 was the tesla roadster (whatever they called it). Crazy acceleration off the line and quiet so you could soak in the ambiance. Iirc it was crazy heavy, but that made it pretty planted too.

>>17367913
driving around like that in GTA V is somewhat comfy, especially with a manual gearbox

Don't you just love that the game is called GRAND THEFT AUTO, but you can't steal expensive cars and store them in your garage because you have to legally buy them?

>>17369088
Only because they introduced MicroPayments™

>>17368137
The Futo is one of the things you can steal though, still have to go to a garage and put a tracker on it, but you can still use it without buying one.

gta 4 had probably the best physics of any gta. i'd say better physics than most racing games that werent simulators. better than forza imo. cars actually understeer, the road doesnt get shorter with speed, damage is realistic at least visually, the weight of the car rolls like real suspension, etc
