Poor Vehicle Damage System

[Alex Koshelkov]

I love this game, but Vehicle Damage System is really unsatisfying in this game. It was really responsive in GTA iV. When you hit something it damage your car properly, every engagement with object affect your car body. In GTA V it feels really arcady, ala Need For Speed Style. Does any of you knows any good mods for this or if Devs are planning to improve this. This game can really be a Dimond with that addition.

the damage system is a shame compared with GTA 4

I dont know how they even approved this damage system first place.

It goes along with the arcade style driving system, because so many people complained about GTA IV's driving system. GTA IV's driving physics were amazing, but granted they were a little too heavy - with unrealistic suspension. But they went all the way in the other direction with V, everything is very arcade-y.

its arcadish console style crap but kids love it ----

Yeh that's sad. I enjoyed GTA IV driving Physics. Cars felt heavy, right now it feels like you're in NFS driving irons on the road, when jump and land it feels so plain.

You people are crazy.

i can only think that some of you have never driven a car if you think gta4 was even close to realistic, thats before you even begin to look at the insanely over-the-top cartoonish wallowy suspension and body roll, in 5, the cars react alot better to impacts, yes they dont fold in half, but neither do cars in reality these days, and if you do want them to break faster, dont buy armour for them.
overall the cars handle alot more realistically in 5 than in 4 for the most part, you can see and tell when the tyres are weighted and about to break free, you can correct a spin, counter steer etc far easier than you ever could in gta4.

Im ok with how they drive. I just wish damage system was imported from GTA 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxU2ye4mIc4

I don't know.. The damage system is not bad, it's weird..
You can hit a tree and the car (sometimes) will not be damaged at all..
But, if you drive anything that have tracks, like a caterpillar, over a car, the damage is awesome..

I see why they arcaded it up, because of whinners, but they really should've given an option for arcade-y damage or realistic damage to please both crowds. It may be hard to believe, but stuff like this can actually turn people away from buying the game. I honestly didn't find anything wrong with IV's damage, just the driving felt kinda floaty, but there's the Realistic Driving mod that made driving more bearable. I don't see why Rockstar didn't just change the driving behavior and leave the damage system alone. If players break their car after 4-5 collisions, let them know they suck at driving! Games are supposed to be challenging, not a walk in the park, unless you're playing an EC-rated (Early Childhood) game, not an M-rated game! If you're an adult (which you should be when playing GTA), you should know how cars generally feel and that 1 collision could be the end of the car. It was generous enough in IV that you could drive away after many collisions. It's just stupid, imo. I'm not buying the game until something is done about it. Crappy decision, Rockstar.

Some people prefer 4, some prefer 5. I prefer 5's damage model, because the cars in 4 were WAY too eager to explode after just a few collisions. In fact, the model itself is better in GTA5, it just takes a lot more punishment to show up. And it feels fine to me, because when I hit oncoming traffic, my hood becomes FUBAR and my glass shatters everywhere. People really exaggerate how non-existent the damage is.

[Jodeth]

This is why there should be an option to switch between IV and V damage models. Now if Rockstar was to change it to IV-like damage, their decision would p!ss off people who are used to the way it is. Rockstar isn't gonna do sh!t, so the only way is thru mods. After watching the video up there, I have hope.

GTA5 damage model is very weaksauce compared to GTA4. Handling was better in 4 too, though maybe a bit too heavy but they went too far in the opposite direction with 5, its easy street.
