User blog comment:RainingPain17/10 Reasons to Hate GTA V/@comment-22427681-20141205180734

1. It is true that police can appear out of nowhere, but this more or less happens in every GTA game. It's not realistic, but it's quite easy to lose your wanted level with 1 or 2 stars. I prefer GTA V's wanted level over GTA IV's. The cops in other games are stupid and can be killed too easily. I personally enjoy the "challenge" of escaping from the police, but then again I'm not exactly the type of gamer that plays GTA for the chaos and mayhem, I'm more of an "explorer" type.

2. Yeah, she's very annoying. She's supposed to be. But characters like her, Jimmy or Amanda are needed to understand Michael's character. She plays a minor role anyway.

3. Can't disagree with you, the health bar is smaller compared with other GTAs. Taking cover is basic in GTA V. Anyway, you can also use Trevor's special ability if you want to play "Rambo-style".

4. The number of safehouses is scarce but they're very detailed. I love Michael's and Franklin's houses more than any other safehouse in the GTA series (except Vercetti's Mansion). Besides, with the quick save option you can save in any place you wish, which is fantastic. Before GTA V, you always had to continue your saved game from the same places. If you ever create a blog asking about the 10 things we like the most in GTA V, the quick save option would be one of them for me.

5. I'm probably in the minority, but I never complete the collectibles just for the rewards, I like to explore the map finding them. Not only in GTA V, but in other games as well, it's a great way to know all the areas in the map. In any case, it wouldn't hurt having bigger rewards, I'll give you that. I'm probably not too bothered because I already own a Rhino and a Buzzard in GTA Online.

6. Can't really comment about this, since I never use cheats.

7. I love the driving physics in GTA V. It may not be realistic, but it's never been in GTAs (not even in GTA IV, regardless of what some people say). It's fun, easy and responsive. It is definitively much better than the driving physics of games like GTA IV or Watch Dogs.

8. Most of the random pedestrians can be beaten too easily, I agree with that. But the fighting mechanics are OK, in my opinion.

9. The storyline makes perfect sense. Whether you think it's good or bad is another thing, but it makes sense. I don't think it's the best one but I really enjoy it. GTA San Andreas has the most unrealistic and over the top storyline IMO, although it's my favorite game along with GTA V.

10. Sorry, but you're simply wrong when you say HD Los Santos is as big as 3D Los Santos. Like CJ Jr. said, it is as big as Liberty City and certainly much bigger and immensely more detailed than any 3D Universe city. I think some areas of the rest of the map could have been used better, but it's still an amazingly detailed map with different towns/areas (Chumash, Grapeseed, Sandy Shores, Paleto Bay, Harmony, Stab City...), Fort Zancudo, the Humane Labs, Mt. Chiliad, an explorable sea... There is no other sandbox with a map this big and diverse. Of course I would like another big city, or five, but this is just not possible yet with the current technology. Hopefully soon enough the new-gen consoles will be able to handle a GTA with at least 3 cities of the size of LS + countryside, but right now this is not realistic.
