Most of us know that GTA3, VC, SA, and IV are great games. The missions are fun, the worlds feel alive, and the stories (for the most part) are well told and interesting. But man are the controls in every single GTA game awful.
 
With every new GTA they improve upon the lasts control scheme and make the controls a little more tolerable, but they have yet to nail the fluidity of control that an open world game should (see inFamous).
 
So I ask you, how many more shots at decent controls does Rockstar need before they nail it?

Ten
 
EDIT:  Over nine thousand.
 
 
In all seriousness, you guys let me know when that happens.  I'll be waiting with open arms.

Hopefully none. Because, goddamn.

They should just make GTA games play like Batman.

There's nothing wrong with GTA4's controls, then again I haven't played Infamous.

You know I really loved GTA4 but I completely understand what you're saying. The controls in the GTA games just feel.....clunky. Maybe it's just from personal bias from the games I typically play but I really honestly have no affection for the way GTA games control

If infamous is as good as they say, Rockstar should rip a few ideas from them. I can totally relate to the series having terrible controls. GTA IV made a lot of serious improvements, but it just didn't cut it.

Don't really know what you're talking about, I find the control scheme perfectly adequate as it is.
