Grand Theft Auto V: 10 Unpopular Opinions (According To Reddit)

Grand Theft Auto V is arguably the most popular game of all time. Still, there are some surprising hot takes about it on Reddit.

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V is one of the biggest games of all time, not just in terms of popularity and sales, but in scope too. The game allows players to explore a fictionalized version of Los Angeles that’s crammed with tiny details.

As the game developer Rockstar changed the industry with their boundary-pushing free-roaming games, GTA V still remains the most groundbreaking, as it’s still as popular as it was eight years, and no other game in history has had that much longevity. However, being as big as it is, it still has its fair share of critics, and even some of the biggest fans of the game have some hot takes on the satirical epic.

10 The Story Is A Step Backwards

Compared to its predecessor, one gamer thought the story of GTA V was a step backward. However, one thing that Rockstar doesn’t do is look backward, as each consecutive game does something different, and it makes leaps and bounds in terms of storytelling.

And though it’s the same series, the two different stories are completely incomparable. The story of GTA IV is a dense and dark narrative about an ex-soldier moving to the US to live the American dream and leave his sordid past behind him, and GTA V is all about born and raised Americans who still revel in crime.

9 Sleeping Dogs Is Better Than GTA V

More than any other game, the Grand Theft Auto series has truckloads of copy cats. There are so many GTA clones that have the same kind of gameplay and open-world exploration, but none of them come close to the gold standard.

But a small minority believe that Sleeping Dogs is better than not just GTA V, but better than any game in the series, arguing that the game has superior driving controls, shootings mechanics, and story. And though it may be true when it comes to the shooting mechanics, as GTA is often lacking in that department, Sleeping Dogs isn’t nearly as big as GTA V.

8 The Multiple Protagonists Wasn’t A Good Idea

As GTA V was the first time in which there was more than one playable character, they all had their unique quirks and totally different personalities. But some fans believe that as there were three different characters, not enough time was given to all of them and that it only felt like Michael had any proper character development.

Trevor will always be the same psychotic Trevor. It was cool how each character had their own special abilities, whether it was Trevor’s rage or franklin’s driving skills. On top of that, the way players could switch between them at any point in levels was an incredible addition to the series, so fans welcomed it.

7 The Map Is Too Big

Of all things to complain about, few would ever think fans would have a problem with the enormous size of the map. It isn’t like the quality dipped in areas due to the size, as every inch is incredibly detailed and it’s full of things that gamers still don’t know they can do.

The game is full of random occurrences that are unique to each gamer depending on where they are and how they got there. However, this Redditor seems like they should stick to games with smaller maps, as they even complained that the map of GTA IV was too big, which was minuscule compared to GTA V.

6 The Satire Wasn’t Over Done

In a post that praises every single element of the game, one fan argues the many claims that there was too much satire in GTA V.

Coming off the heels of GTA IV, which was generally much darker in tone than any other game that came before it, Rockstar used GTA V for ridiculous one-liners, silly references to thousands of movies, and to mock millennials, including their own fans. The Redditor loved the satire and believes that it improved the game, where many others think ruined it.

5 The Game Would Have Been Better Without Trevor

One of the best things about the characters in the series is that so many of them are played by famous actors, but when it comes to GTA V, Rockstar didn’t need to cast people with familiar voices to make the characters pop. The fan-favorite is often Trevor, a maniac with a crystal meth lab and a scary temper, and he has many of the series’ best quotes.

But one critic accused the character of being way over the top and his introduction ruined the relationship between Michael and Franklin in the first act.

4 GTA V Still Being The Most Recent Game After 8 Years Is A Good Thing

With it now being eight years since GTA V was first released, fans are getting antsy for GTA VI, and they’ll probably be storming Rockstar headquarters any time now. But with so many rumors swirling about a new game and false news updates every day, some are perfectly complacent with the eight-year-old game.

However, though the map is admittedly huge, with so many things to do, surely there are hardcore gamers would have found every secret possible several times over after eight years.

3 Modders Have Made The Game More Fun

With eight years being such a long time to stick with one game, the modding community has had fun adding things that have no reason being in GTA V, whether it’s the Delorean from Back to the Future or being able to ride in a flying saucer.

However, the modding community is a small crowd compared to the millions of people who play the game, and those millions would much rather keep the game in its original form. But the Redditor has a good point, as one of the ways GTA V has changed for the better since its release is how modders have tweaked the game.

2 The Focus On GTA Online Instead Of Single Player DLC Is A Good Thing

Being one of the most expensive video games of all time, Rockstar’s investment in GTA V has paid off, as the game has brought in billions for the developer with GTA Online. But as great as the online mode is, many players still enjoy playing solo.

GTA IV came with a ton of downloadable content, but GTA V is distinctly lacking. But this fan is willing to put up with all of the micro-transactions and waiting around for other players to join the game instead of getting any single player DLC.

1 Everybody Should Stop Playing It So Rockstar Release A New Game

It might be an unpopular opinion, but a hot take has never made more sense than this, as one gamer low-key tries to assemble a rebellion amongst the GTA community. With the game having been out for such a long time, it has literally now been released on three different generations of consoles.

So the Redditor has tried to stop people from playing GTA V just so that Rockstar will release GTA VI, and though it doesn’t exactly work like that, it’s a nice try.
