i never gave any examples of games that focus on a few of the mechanics at a timeYou didn ' t need to when the point you ' re trying to make is that other games do it better . the driving mechanics are pretty good , but about on par with the average gameThe average racing game , right ? That ' s my point . If another game is doing it better than GTA , it ' s more than likely because it ' s focused on said mechanic entirely . the shooting mechanics other than 4 are pretty average every ps 2 gta had the very basic lock on style and effectively no cover system . the only improvement i can think of is not firing into the air every time you strafeThat ' s all you got in the PS 2 days . that ' s not really Rockstar ' s fault cover systems becoming a standard didn ' t really happen until last gen . Not to mention the things you have against GTA have more to do with the depth of the shooting . Though it ' s fair criticism , game mechanics don ' t have to be deep to be good and responsive .
