Grand Theft Auto is a massive franchise that has left an indelible mark on the gaming industry. Players have fallen in love with the sprawling urban open-worlds presented, and the franchise’s irreverent humor has consistently been a point of controversy. Despite how beloved the series is, there are aspects of the games that are less than perfect. The following list highlights the problems in the series that fans often choose to overlook. All the points apply to the main campaign of the games unless otherwise stated.
Driving in GTA 4 is Annoying
Driving is an important aspect of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, and GTA 4 is no different. Liberty City is filled with vehicles for players to purchase and steal. With this title, Rockstar strove for realism and this extends to the handling of vehicles.
Unfortunately, the result is that cars feel like they’re slipping on ice, and they sway far too much. It’s a damper on gameplay, and it makes driving from point A to B a tedious task. The problem also rears its ugly head when attempting to escape from the police, as weaving through traffic almost invariably results in collisions. Luckily, this issue was addressed in GTA 5.
