The big new thing Grand Theft Auto V introduced to the series were the heists. GTA V Has New Gameplay Elements (that are barely used) Read on as I explain why Saints Row 3 and 4 are just plain better than GTA V, despite lacking some polish.Īlso Keith David is playing himself as Vice President.

With so much excitement building up to the release of the game, getting perfect 10/10 scores and GameSpot employees receiving death threats for daring to give it less than a perfect rating, GTA V was essentially promised to be the greatest game ever made. So 2013 saw the release of Grand Theft Auto V, which must have been the most hyped game of last generation (yes the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are officially last gen).
