Is GTA V the best in the series?

The best in the series for me to this point has been Vice City but after a week or so of GTA V it's running VC close.

I'd still give the nod to Vice City purely due to how much it got right and worked as a complete package.

But if I was to compare each aspect of both, Vice City would probably only win out on music.

Head says V, heart says Vice City.

What say ye...

V for me mainly as the earlier ones had horrendous controls for shooting, SA fixed that mostly and the Vice City Stories was good with the fixed controls.

VC for soundtrack

V for general gameplay.

VC for me. Although probably GTA 3 if the choice was there. V is just another GTA game. (nothing wrong with that) Not what it was hyped up to be though and I think they've ruined the driving in it. Not as enjoyable as SA or VC imo.

I love Vice City but the map is the worst.

Stainless_Steel · 28-09-2013 08:26PM

Vice City for me. You lived in Tony Montana's gaff. Like a boss.

Professional Griefer · 28-09-2013 08:36PM

San Andreas for me, but V is very very good.

Brian2208 · 28-09-2013 08:39PM

San Andreas yo, Grove Street 4 life

Sephiroth_dude · 28-09-2013 08:39PM

5 for me anyway,I just love the world a lot more than other gta's.

IvySlayer · 28-09-2013 08:39PM

Yes San Andreas for me too. I kind of miss being able to go to 3 different cities.

The story was amazing, the map, you could rob houses for a living :P

GerB40 · 28-09-2013 08:41PM

San Andreas. OG Loc is in it, ice cold killlaaa...

elfy4eva · 28-09-2013 08:46PM

V is great alright was very pleased with the story a refreshing step up after the dullness of IV. Brought back the expansiveness and variety of travel of GTA: SA. With much more comic relief (IMO the cornerstone of GTA stories)

Top of the series for me

Cienciano · 28-09-2013 08:48PM

Only about 15% in at the moment, but definitely V for me. Vice City had it on the music, but in every other way I prefer V

SherlockWatson · 28-09-2013 08:53PM

For me 5 is definitely the best, if I was to choose anything else it would probably be for nostalgic reasons.

JamboMac · 28-09-2013 09:26PM

Couldn't really pick one though I do think GTA5 has been overhyped and the driving is terrible, I want to know what they spent all that money on. Only really started it but don't think it's an improvement on previous ones. Don't get me wrong it is engaging but I wouldn't get lost for hours like previous versions.

Oh if we are allowed pick for nostalgic reasons then I have one comment: my brothers my sister.

GTA V for me is really lacking something atmosphereically, I cant put my finger on it but it just doesnt seem to have the same heart Vice city and San andreas had.Simple things like driving down back alleys on a faggio in vice city would give me hours of enjoyment, but V is just a bit...meh.

On another note, whoever developed and gave the go ahead for the car damage should be sacked and tied up by the balls.GTA 4 was great for pushing cars until they died, but in V I can smash into a bus head on and get my car scratched and maybe a broken light.

cadete · 29-09-2013 03:25PM

really close but VC for me was the best, really loved it and got so many hours from it and lets not forget the first 1 awesome at the time!

Hareton · 29-09-2013 03:31PM

San Andreas for me.

Don't get me wrong V looks great, great story and very engaging but there was just about San Andreas that made me lose months of my life

Ardennes1944 · 29-09-2013 03:34PM

San Andreas, got attached to that game and still play it the odd time. Hate the driving in V and the car damage is ridiculous as stated before, just cant get 'into' the game.

Franklyn has an album belonging to him so he must of finally made it big!

Shifty Shellshock · 29-09-2013 04:46PM

When going to Grove street in V, it's just very bland and has no character. Grove street in SA, well.... you all know how much character that had

Those bitch ass ballas.

Turf wars should've been re-introduced.Could easily have been tied in with trevor and the lost, and franklyn and the ballas.

Thecageyone · 29-09-2013 05:52PM

Vice city had the best atmosphere. V is easily best looking and biggest.

The soundtrack is the biggest let down for me in V.

I think the driving in V is the best in the series.

titan18 · 29-09-2013 05:56PM

SA, VC, 3 and then 5 for me. It only goes above 4 as the location is much better.

Thecageyone · 29-09-2013 05:57PM

Definitely ^^

I don't get why so many are finding it bad/hard/sloppy - the driving is fine to me.

It's the jumping that really needs fixing. Go to jump a 3 foot wall ... fall on face awkwardly ...

bizmark · 29-09-2013 06:00PM

Sa is the best by far imho great atmosphere, Brilliant funny support characters, Great locations for their missions to take place (the truth with area 69 for instance) and CJ was just perfect i dont know why but i loved playing as him. 5 would be second in my list though

iMuse · 29-09-2013 06:02PM

Its not the best in the series, I found the story stronger in IV. GTA: SA will probably always be my favorite with VC a close second. The ambition of GTA SA at the time was unbelievable but as has being said before, the setting of VC and the music makes up for the mostly poor map.

Although the 3 character idea is good to freshen up the gameplay, I prefer the single character approach.

29-09-2013 06:13PM

5. Loved VC but if I played both for the first time now that I'm older, VC wouldn't cut it.

Thecageyone · 29-09-2013 06:18PM

Imagine VC with 5's graphics, size, better map/GPS, throw in a couple of more playable characters .... would rock.

Hopefully a revisit to Vice city is next on their agenda

Is GTA V the best in the series?
