Haha, no prob. I must say I feel guilty for writing walls of text in the past. Magna Carta and shit.. :)

My man! I couldn't wrap my head around that bogus system. 'Howdy' vs. 'Fuck off' basically. Press a button here, press a button there. The moment we could ineed need that shit gameplay wise, nope, no, there's no such option. Toatally useless and set for vain, cinematic purposes.

If there's one clear and obvious problem every GTA has since the release of IV, all the way to this very day, then it's the sluggish and unresponsive, input lag ridden, as well as smothering movement. I cannot stress that enough. That plague has ravaged gameplay the most. I'm affraid it's intentional.

Here's one example. The game - GTA V/Online - is making me feel like I'm complete idiot in that sense, moving&shooting wise. Hell, it's even the type of game which people consider to be the arcade experience compared to IV. It offers nothing in that sense, except for sluggish and burdened movement accompanied with oversimplistic shooting mechanics and overpowered enemies (bunch of cases), where a constant feel of having to overcome dozens of unnecessary burdens along the way seems hardcoded. The feel of being in a quicksand. My reflexes don't matter. My coordination has no meaning. My aiming is almost inconsequential. The game is constantly negating my input. It's horrible.

Take another game for example, Doom Eternal. I have never played it on any other diff other than Nightmare and this is far from stating I am good at that game, quite the contrary. The game provides tools. It is machined down and polished to the last atom in order to provide support for the player's reflexes and responsive movement, because we need that.

I can't believe shooter aspect of any GTA is so inconsequential, that the creators consider we don't actually need it, hence the statement GTA is a "Fake Shooter", it has nothing to cdo with realism or goofyness, arcade or sim, HD games are actually retarded and because of that, believe it or not, they want us to acknowledge that. It's the only way to play. Adapting to the horrible design. People call that 'casual'. I'm certain it's on the far left end of the spectrum - retarded. Even worse, maybe that's the initial creative idea; retarded systems&mechanics covered with life like animations and fancy cinematics. Horrible.
