19. Superior Mechanics
I remember playing GTA IV for the first time and freaking out a little. Coming straight from San Andreas, which I was playing through again at the time, the mechanics of their newest entry into the franchise felt a little too real by comparison. And like many of you undoubtedly did, I crashed the living shit out of Romans taxi worse than in a Street Fighter 4 bonus round. As a result, I was adamant that the game wasnt as good. It doesnt take too long for you to realise though that GTA IVs mechanics are as good as its predecessors. And much, much better still. All it takes is a little practice. These superior mechanics were even apparent from the little things, like the way the characters moved through the world when drunk or the way they reacted when you walked into them. And its been nearly five years since then. Given Rockstars knack for exponentially improving their output, GTA V without a doubt promises more of these superior mechanics and on an even grander scale. Were positively giddy with excitement.
