Why did GTA 5 nerf the cars so badly?

[Zer0/∞]

They have the worst traction possible: they spin out so easily and you can barely drift in them, the absolute worst of both worlds and they are a nightmare to drive in the rain or off-road. How can a game with Grand Theft Auto in its name have such shitty driving mechanics?

So that you buy 9137194 sharkcards to buy the new car with better traction

Vrutal, it's over for gta 5 cars

Fags complicated gta 4 had to hard of controls so they went in the opposite direction with gta v

 

[KillNiggers]

Not only the driving but the sounds to me are lame too. These two reasons alone make it so you don't want to do stunt racing or whatever the fuck.

yes they went overboard with making them too arcadish to meet San Andreas setting, they should've made them slightly more heavier.

Until a new car gets reieased and the others get nerfed to shit for it to shine.

I don’t really know or care

I could hardly control it

GTA 5 helicopters are very easy to control

Gta 4 had the best car physics, gta 5 is like moorhuhn cart racing or mario kart

Majority of gta have terrible sounds judging by realism/satisfying/quality.

Especially the gun sounds. I point to GTA SA's gun sounds. Iconic? Indeed. Terrible? Surely. Perhaps because it is so bad, that it differed from others and thus become iconic.

Top speed is also garbage in V.

In some cars,
you Dont even need to use the Brakes when cornering.

Talk about Glue.

made on purpose so map doesn't feel as small

Ironic, when OG San Andreas felt BiggER, even if you were to speed ride on a Turismo.

True I don't remember a single GTA 5 gun sound but I do GTA SA

They're way too arcadey. GTA IV's realistic driving definitely would've been incompatible with a map like GTA V so it's understandable that they had to make driving smoother but they went way too far in the other direction. 90% of cars can traverse mountains like it's nothing, it really takes a lot of fun out of your vehicle choice when most of them handle the same.

Legit the only fun I get from driving in GTA V is weaving in and out of traffic with a supercar, the rest of it feels like a chore. I will never not have fun with GTA IV's driving

GTA 4 driving mechanics were great. It's hard to believe that game came out almost 20 years ago.
