Was never underrated to begin with. it even had ground breaking tech at the time.
The physics are very divisive. I tried hard to love this game, but I found it unplayable.I'd say the physics were the highlight of the game. Funny you'd say that.
sure, it's clunky today.... but no much more than rdr2 and certainly not as clunky than San andreas which is only 4 years older.Nah it still didn't have mid mission checkpoints in sodding 2008. It deserves about 10 kick in the bulls just for that (or 10 points reducted on metacritic)
At the end of the day it was still a clunky linear 3rd person shooter where you get to dick around in an open world between mission. No amount of crobcat videos showing off "details" will change that.
This is just an incredibly damning statement against Rockstar. It was unacceptable in 2008 the fact that rockstar can still get away ...no praised in 2018 is ludicrous. There were plenty of open world games with good controls around that time even in the PS2 era I remember Mercenaries controlling much better. In 2008 the saints row games already released, Assassins Creed. Infamous came out one year later which had incredible controls in 2009.sure, it's clunky today.... but no much more than rdr2 and certainly not as clunky than San andreas which is only 4 years older.
Returning to san andreas today is like a punch in the face. Junk, terrible controls and tens of bloat missions.
gta 4 modernized the controls and put graphics to next level. Rockstar games never looked good before that
I am not saying that gta 4 was the best controlling game in 2008. I am saying it was best controlling gta game at the time.This is just an incredibly damning statement against Rockstar.

Everything you say about San Andrea's is true but that's even more damning....
Underrated post.Can someone ban the word 'underrated'?

The fact that 5 and rdr2 are just as sloppy is ... not good I agree
How is GTA IV underrated? It is the top rated game ever on both PS3 and X360. Yeah, some people bitched about it after release because it was quite different in tone and style when compared to San Andreas. Actually, I also prefer V and San Andreas to IV, but that does not mean I think IV is a bad game.
