THE ISSUES AROUND GTA MAPS 

I feel that GTA 5 could’ve used less fucking huge space taking mountains, and maybe add like idk a new city? Like San Fierro? Or even Las Venturas? But no we needed 50 mountains

7:05 - 7:30 fried my brain lol

Carl's daughters? Also GTA 4 map being big? Listening to you feels like a fever dream

Ummm... It's sounds like Chat GPT is reading the script.

carl’s daughters 😭😭

You complaining about having to drive so much in a game about stealing cars just doesn’t feel right to me.

A hassel to get around GTA IV's map? How? Who? What player can't get from the prison in Alderney to the airport in 2 minutes or less?

04:51 What do you mean: 'One of Carl's daughters'?

I really wish the countryside in GTA 4 wasn't cut, would have been great to have upstate Liberty in the game. In GTA 5, wish there was more to the countryside than just a bunch of mountains, small towns and whatnot.

7:59 I dare you to tell me what he said

did you repeat same thing three times? around at 7:15

Don't have what to do in gta IV? Bowling, drinking, darts, pool, comedy show... Etc...

06:50 aah yes, how real New Yorkers use the cab.

Bro talks just like yap dollar

I think creating a map with multiple islands creates a much bigger environment, even if its smaller than a huge singular island. I remember the moment i realized that 5s map is bigger than the san andreas map. The problem was that 90% takes place in the bottom of the map while the other 10% are pretty much at the very top. San andreas utilizes multiple islands that switch up the scene during the story. Theres a reason to go there if you want to do side stuff like the driving schools, getting a different fighting style or going to a casino. So while 5 has the size, it sadly doesnt use much of it, something i liked about san andreas. Im worried 6s map will follow a similar style like 5 did.

1:30 did he just call GTA missions "QUESTS!?" That's like calling TF2 Mercs "Heroes!"

GTA III small map but I loved the missions. Vice City also a good game but the map had too many dead ends in between buildings. San Andreas has a lot of fun missions and the map is big but it could have had better design overall San Andreas is my favorite.

4:51 one of Carl’s daughters??? 7:11 players were never bored because it didn’t take long to move across the state 7:15 unlike GTA 4

gta 5 was originally going to have more cities, but was cut. which is probably why the countryside is so huge

Without The Mountains & The Desert. GTA V Is Just Even Tinier With Los Santos Only & The Vinewood Sign Would Be The End Point North & LSIA Is The End Point South

I like your logic, I've seen many videos of people discuss gta but you brought new flavor to it, keep it up

Great video, bro. Personally I feel it is a good thing when some parts of the map are not included in missions. That way you can discover them on your own and in your own way, which adds depth and secrecy to the world

Try using less urms, uhhs, ahhs and ehhs it's really noticable

some annoying stuff : In IV : a huge and competely useless airport In V : a huge and completely useless military base In SA : a useless urban freeway leading nowhere Some cool stuff : In IV : trains In V : going around the map by the sea, it takes ages In SA : Las Venturas ringroad

What i love about the map in san andreas is that its very diverse and each part of the city has small towns in the countryside as pit stops, you have so many ways to travel around

I love how golf carts are heading to the Mainland island yet golf carts normally don’t appear there

Few things I dislike of Gta 5 map 1. Huge map but unfortunately fill of hills and few country side towns 2. Some mission forces players go to top of map takes few minutes to get there in gta online and gta 5 3. No other city's why gta 5 map didn't include different city's like in gta San Andreas

GTA VC has probably the easiest map to navigate (though it's also the smallest), even after years of not playing it, I can still instantly find my way around. San Andreas has my favorite map with the expansive countryside and a ton of little details to find even after 20 years. But I think GTA IV has the most impressive map, if you can take it slow and like to walk around. For other games it's more about fast cars, bikes and planes, but IV has such a great atmosphere to just look around and enjoy the scenery. V is the most disappointing, seems great at first but it's just too empty and you don't really utilize the whole northern side.

I absolutely hate the wasted potential of GTA IV, if they had just carried over some of the character customization of SA, included a little more map space, and planes it would’ve been so much better.

Hey man, great video! Try working on your voice-over to avoid sounds like "uhh" or "umm". Or just remove them in the edit! I think it will elevate your content quality to the next level!

The GTA 5 map is pretty much lifeless and empty, dull, NPC traffic, still a thing even in 2024. Lack of open interiors was a deal breaker from day one.

7:12 - 7:20 cooked my brain

There's a whole block in Vice City where the textures are misaligned so you see massive windows and doors on normal sized houses. It's easy to miss while you're driving around but you can see that the second island in VC was barely finished in time.

I hear one more thing about “gta 4s map is better than gta 5s map because it had less in it but more to do with it”, I’m going to go insane. Los santos is the same size as liberty city AND had a countryside with sunny weather and lots to do. Liberty city is depressing, boring areas to explore, and has barely has anything to do apart from bowling and changing the colour of your car.

Gta games need that dead space because not everything in the real world is used by everyone but still important. In gta 5 a lot of the mountains are great for rps, machinimas, traveling, vibing and all. Why fly over everything and just spend time in the city when you can go up a hiking trail in first person and just take it slow. RDR2 does this the best out of any rockstar game.

So this js just you poorly reading an essay about gta maps written by ChatGpt? How absolutely pathetic

in gta san andreas I remember that there are places that you pass only with secondary speeds but quickly, apart from main and secondary missions, I explored places only because I wanted to go there myself otherwise they remained hidden and unvisited

What the hell are you saying in 7:00 - 7:30?

why your videos are translated to so many languages?

1:09 looks like the twin towers in the background

You didn't cover the GTA4 DLCs, they added alot more things to do and had the entire map unlocked from the start

Personally I felt gta 5's map just gave the illusion of being huge but gta 4's map was actually pretty huge and detailed.

4:04 The design wasn't clever.. for example.. when you looked at the map you will realize that almost all high/freeways are not connected to each other.. They always have a dead end.. Well.. i always wanted to rerig the roads and connect to each other.. actually i do have an AutoCAD and small 3DMax knowledge.. maybe i will do this with my own :)

Bro had a 30sec brain anurysm starting at 7:05

with gta6's map going to be even bigger i fucking hope theres more to do smh

Las Venturas would've been perfect in 5

Bayside Marina in GTA San Andreas was a huge missed opportunity

I really liked Shoreside Vale… The confusing roads made the island feel more big, at least to me

I remember in 2017, watching someone genuinely say they expected 50% of buildings in GTA VI to be enterable with unique interiors.

In gta sa if you get bored of LS you can go to SF or LV and the cycle repeats but in GTA V, home is home, you cant go anywhere else, you can choose from variation of safe houses in the game to stay there but in GTA V no.

Combined with the DLC's, GTA IV has just as much open world content as VC and/or LCS has! That's not a bad thing. Sometimes it's better to have a 50-75 hour open world fun game, than having a 150+ hour open world grind sh*t. And imo, the unique ragdoll physics and the realistic car handling with the impressive fracture model gives GTA IV a lot of replayability. GTA V doesn't have more open world content than SA either.

Creating big country side its called natural environment, you dont need to have a lot of missions there, but if there wasnt counstry side it would lack of realism.

gta3 map is perfectly designed. I love the green hills of portland and shoreside vale, how it doesn't feel small and that gta 3 is technically not in the middle of the sea

In GTA SA, you can travel as a passenger in trains and flights for fast travel across the map. In GTA 4, other than taking taxis, Liberty City has a well developed metro system where players can interact and ride as a passenger to get around the city

5 had the worse map in any game. So much wasted space, no safe houses in the country (except Trevor), and very little interiors

0:50 another new thing I learned about GTA SA. 14 years and I still learn new stuff about this game.

Something bizarre I especially noticed in San Andreas' map, especially in northern Los Santos with the winding streets and villas, is how insanely steep some of the driveways are angled. Like seriously if you lived in one of those houses in real life, your car is NOT getting into your garage thanks to your driveway's insane 40-degree incline

this is clearly a text to speech program. i feel like i am going insane

Bruh the gta 5 map could had potential like ADDING SAN FIERRO AND LAS VENTURAS BUT REMADE AND REMASTERED LIKE LOS SANTOS ADDING MORE VARIETY AND NEW ACTIVITES but i understand the console cant handle a new san fierro and las venturas but NOT MAKING A DLC FOR A MAN EXPANSION IS JUST STUPID

I think the map itself and its design is fine, just missing things to do.

One of Carl's what now?

If you look at the vast open spaces and large hills of the gta5 map, as well as all the fast vehicles around, and not figure out how to make your own fun, that's on you. You're boring, not the map. Non derogatory. When I played San Andreas, I didn't spend all day at the activity map markers or in small towns. I was jumping off chilead, causing chaos, blasting through the countryside on terrible bikes. You can do that in gta5 and more. My only gripe was, why tennis and yoga instead of pool, bball, bowling even? It was all too centred around Michael.

I love Gta V’s map, but I hate the fact that it’s not very wide. Adding more to the East or perhaps north west of the map would’ve been cool.

i get it that a lot of space is empty and i agree they could have done a better job but the addition of the countryside to gta5 was absolutely needed. we can't just have positive spaces. we also need negative spaces where not a lot happens, but they help make the positive spaces feel bigger. if we only have positive spaces then the gameplay space starts feeling more like a... game and less like a "real place"

One day, I'd LOVE to see Rockstar do a GTA game similar to how FS2020 does it: stream the entire planet to your PC (or console since PC always gets GTA stuff last). That could be insane.

I always felt like Vice City's map was small. Both islands are mostly 2 main avenues with some details. The details were good, and size-wise it wasn't actually very small compared to 3, but it FELT small. Always bothered me, even as a little kid and a bit later with VCS on PSP. But I still loved the game anyway.

9:00 the map is meant to be just a highway. Rockstar wanted the long drive up the california coast long straight road. Highway was probably one of the first things added into the map since it makes the outline of the world.

Bro tf you mean the only side quests are a "boat school and one of Carl's daughters"?

6:10 Thats why i love GTA TBoGT so much. Plenty of things to do like the NightClub activities and other cool features! Not to mention the game itself's NYC nightlife atmosphere is just superb. The experience is so much better when Modded too!

I always give GTA III the most slack cause it was there first attempt at 3D and the only other style of game around was Driver and Driver 2. But for what it is. Solid game. If I was 18 back then I would of loved it.

In retroperspective i feel betrayed by Rockstar. I remember so well when the first GTA V Trailer dropped. Everyone went nuts and was so hyped about San Andreas coming to the HD Universe including myself. But when it was official that beside Los Santos only countryside and no other big city will be available the excitement started to crumble already. I remember being "relatively" underwhelmed when I played it for the first time. I liked it but it wasnt quite what I was hoping for and the feeling and the atmosphere that I had playing GTA SA or IV wasnt there anyway. Now 12 years after the game was released and many hours of playing I gotta say it was the first mayor indicator of R* going downhill. They basically lured everyone with having a new big map of San Andreas which is nothing but filled with emptiness in the end. GTA SA instead is blowing my mind still to this day

GTA 5's map could've at least had more hiking trails, some dense forests, or SNOW, or some more civilization on some of the mountains. I get that it's a generational thing, and the 360/PS didnt have the capabilities back then- but that's not really an excuse when they're re-releasing the game for the 4th time, at full price, ON next generation hardware that RDR2 and GTA VI are running on.

That was really good video, I can agree with you in every point you has presented!

I get the anticipation back in 2012-2013 but as decent as GTA V is I feel like they rushed the ever loving f*** out of it trying to make their time hack for release. Given the last GTA before it was 4 released in 2008.

A script or a better written one would lead to less „eeeehm“ or repetition.

ALL I WANT IS THOSE KILL CAMS FROM MAX PAYNE 3 IN GTA 6!!!

4:51 WAIT WHAT!? Carl has a daughter?

By the way you talk you seem a very calm person.

A water school and Carl has daughters? It did not take much time to move around the state x3? Have a doctor seen you already?

6:48 Oops 😭 lol 😂

gta 5 has fast helicopters & jets, after first big heist in beginning you can afford a helipad and then you have to use cab to go to government facility east side of map to steal a buzzard which can be freely stored on your helipad, first same game and load from safehouse then go back there and use phone to save on spot bit away from helipad so its out of spawn range while sitting in the buzzard landed on roadside to take off once you load in next time, from that point on its easy travels! BTW helipad DUPLICATES your helicopter once you leave spawn range so you always have another copy to take if you break it! do the same with airport hangar, buy it and store lazer jet from fort zancudo in there, in case of trevor use sandy shores airfield to do the same thing for buzzard and jet!

7:07 what?

you clearly went to the trouble to get all the gameplay footage, the script could have used a couple of passes…

are you reading off a script?

Gta sa is best map in gta games

Ur profile picture is funny :)

Great job Eric 👍👏🎉

Shoreside Vale was meant to be the suburbs, but instead we got a crappier version of Portland. GTA 3's map is quite bland, so many empty blocks where shops could be even just set dressing. Lots of empty spaces and no back access to buildings. The city design makes no sense. And Vice City was...terrible map, there is no downtown, there is nothing in it and the entire map is just 3 roads. It looks nice but I'm not a fan of the layout.

bro is using chatgpt

gta 3 had the most confusing map to me

Do you use any mods for the original trilogy?

Why didn't you include GTA 1 and 2?

Is this the English wilkozz?

Why did u just repeat that 3 times

RU-vid Recommended

Love the GTA San Andreas map It's so diverse but the whole map feels...empty but what it makes interesting is atmosphere especially in desert that red-ish tint is awesome also love the rumors about variety of mysteries and it's packed but only if these mysteries we're true...then it will be perfect but sunrise on top of MT chilliad is memorable can't forget it but gta5 that map is a piece of crap for a game like this if they added more roads it will be acceptable but as it is now is just more for hunting simulator despite that i like roads in the canyon that part is good but highways? Meh give me a fast jet instead and GTA V for me it lacks of atmosphere game can be realistic in terms of graphics and sounds but that belongs to simulators or racing games in these i appreciate all details on cars, environment, car sounds yes but that's not what it should be about...game must have atmosphere without it i will forget it immediately after uninstall so that's why i love older games like halo 2 i mean original one it have atmosphere sound effects are good gameplay is fun and more fast pace but it's not exaggregated like CS 2 and story is interesting or Forza Horizon nice looking game with em...ok it lacks of real car sounds but other than that map is mostly fun lot of roads activities cars whatever you can imagine but that's a exception in modern games even control (i mean game control) lacks something but don't know what it is

Why is it vertical? And because of that, the map doesn't have a lot of life to it, The urban and rural areas became boring, even compared to Los Santos as portrayed in SA (if we focus only on the urban center) the city functions are dead and frankly not fun to walk around. Well, if most of the city's facilities and stores are harried, why didn't they even show an interest in improving them with the arrival of PS4 and PS5? I don't understand why GTA5 itself is overrated in terms of gameplay, let alone the online mode.

I'm so ready for a new map!

wait for gta 6 👇 + and the map is huge

bro for the love of god write a script, at 7:10 you literally said the same thing 3 times in a row, and you keep stuttering while trying to get your thoughts out
