To be expected. They had to find some reason to make us buy this over Gat out of Hell.

I read the title and thought, "Do we get to command the Galactic Terran Alliance now???"
Almost yelled that in public. :P

I still think that GTA would be waaaaaay better if you were able to rocket-jump.

This may renew my interest in GTA.  I got so frustrated with the controls and camera for non-driving portions of GTA III and Vice City on my Xbox, and San Andreas on my PC, that I quit playing them without getting very far into any of them.

Whenever that happened in San Andreas, I went back to Jerusalem's Let's Play. Nicely motivating.

I take it because of that you didn't bother with GTA IV?
Although I'm curious, what was your issue with the camera controls?

No, I never tried GTA IV, but my son loved playing it on his 360.  Perhaps I should give it a shot sometime.  :)

Maybe it's just because I am not used to playing in 3rd person, but it seemed like I could never hit where I was aiming fast enough to take out a group of characters shooting at me.  I'd want to look one way, but the camera would be over the wrong shoulder, or would shift just as I was about to do whatever it was I came to do.  Even with melee weapons I often felt like I was mashing buttons like I was playing DOA3 and hoping for a combo.

TBH, it's been several years since I have tried any of them - I don't think I have even installed San Andreas since I got Windows 7 or a 360 gamepad.  But I do have a copy of the "hot coffee" mod somewhere on my drive.  ;)

Ahh, yeah I could see how that'd get frustrating

Well, I think GTA IV wouldn't be too bad in that regards. It's a bit sluggish in comparison to Red Dead and GTA V, but definitely a bigger improvement vs SA in terms of free aiming
