*Cyberpunk*, without a doubt. The main story is basically a series of heists, which is cool as hell. Plus, there’s no one to like in GTA games.

They are both fantastic in their own way.

Cyberpunk and it’s not even close. The GTA story is a little too edgelord for my liking.

gta is a parody of america vs cyberpunk with deepstory and funny/lighthearted moments

GTA can’t hold a candle to cyberpunk writing

I’d say GTA 5 is overall the better game, but if we’re only talking about the story as a single isolated aspect out of both games, I guess Cyberpunk would win there.

cyberpunk has too much replayability i love it, i completed it the first time on xbox one before it was even somewhat fixed 😭
Dan_Onymous
Yeah, it’s a question, and it doesn’t have an answer, neither is objectively better than the other, it’s gonna come down to personal taste and preference. I mean, circle jerk all you want, but at the ed of the day, there are other ways to get off

GTA was a fun story, but Cyberpunk is on a whole other level of writing
It’s like comparing McDonalds and a steak dinner (assuming you like the taste of McD’s)

Both games have amazing stories but Cyberpunk is definitely better. GTA was more satirical whereas Cyberpunk was more serious

I’m subscribed to this community because I want to talk and learn about Cyberpunk, I’m not subscribed here because I want to see this image posted multiple times a week with people succumbing to a schoolyard level argument about whose toy is cooler.

I mean, I don’t want to short sell GTA V, the story is very fun, but Cyberpunk has a lot more depth and layers. I think it’s definitely a more moving and fulfilling story.

GTA is quite a bit better narratively but the world of Cyberpunk is so goddamn cool and creative that it’s close

gonna be honest, gta v was better written and dealt with more serious issues. cdpr was too wishy-washy to be punk

GTA4 better story than GTA5 fyi.

Without a question it’s cyberpunk. It’s like the difference between blade runner and fast and furious. GTA V isn’t even the best GTA story

Cyberpunk story insists upon itself

Cyberpunk 2077. I don’t even remember what the story was for GTA. All i remember from the GTA is i couldn’t stand any of the characters.
Cyberpunk? I remember Jackie and Panam, Judy and Vic, and a slew of other characters.

You ask that question, here?

Why would they do this? Isn’t 5 like considered the weakest one in terms of story?
Inevitable_Parsnip64
Im very biased towards cyberpunk just coz of how much darker and deep the storyline is. But also because its been over 10 years since i actually touched the story mode for gta

I feel like most of the people here who are dissing GTA 5’s story also think Red Dead Redemption is just a game about cowboys

They are both equally good in their own ways. GTA 5’s world building and stories are so solid it can continue to exist in a world with not a lot of successful rivals. What game right now is exactly like GTA? Cyberpunk certainly isn’t, and wasn’t meant to be. Look at Saints Row and Watchdogs: they found success but not GTA success. And why? The mechanics are consistent, gameplay style, etc…. it’s the story. Rockstar can spin an amazing story. So, both these developers made amazing stories in their own right. They are both so solid that any criticism is nit-picky and it’s really left to people’s opinion on the story they PREFER.
That’s my point here. Both of these stories are equally amazing. Maybe the question is, which do you prefer?

GTA 5 isn’t even close to Cyberpunk.
As soon as it started to at least feel kinda interesting it immediately ends in an incredibly disappointing way.
kaic_87
I honestly love both of them, but Cyberpunk is simply “made for me”. Everything in it, from the characters to the lore, the world, the city and the visuals. It’s 120% what I like.
GTA is probably the most fun I ever had with any video game tho, I bought at launch for the PS3 and again on the PS4 and it’s probably one of my most played games of all time.

I have been a fan of GTA since day one…. But still, no competition. Cyberpunk wins.

I’ve played every Rockstar game since GTA3. So if you want an unbiased opinion, GTA5 has one of the weaker stories in the series. Big step down from San Andreas and 4 which were great. I am not a fan of GTA5. I don’t dislike it, I just prefer san Andreas and 4.
Cyberpunk has one of the most memorable and thought provoking stories in gaming. And Phantom Liberty which has some have the best storytelling experiences in gaming.
Why is this even a comparison?

Both are amazing in their own ways. But cyberpunk for actual story wise. But with gta’s world it isn’t possible to compare

I enjoyed GTA5. I laughed at the jokes.
I enjoyed Cyberpunk. I got emotional following it to the ending.
I tried to replay GTA5. The jokes weren’t so funny anymore. I got bored and stopped playing.
I tried to replay Cyberpunk. I got emotional following it to a different ending.
Therefore, Cyberpunk.

I loved GTA games and especially San Andreas but I honestly didn’t like this one. The storyline, the characters, missions where you are hallucinating or doing yoga.
TheCPARecruiter
I think the only GTA story I’ve ever been invested
In is 4.
I play them because they are funny. Not because of story.
jiggler_54
I like both but GTA V’s story was just really underwhelming to me. I genuinely can’t even remember the main antagonist.
However, they are both very different games. GTA is basically an extreme parody of America at the time, leaning heavily in the comedic aspect (it does have serious moments though).
Cyberpunk , on the other hand, is a very detailed, immersive, and emotional story. It obviously also has plenty of humour in there too, but for the most part the story is very dark, with the overlying theme being that no matter what you do, there will be no “happy” ending.
So yeah this really isn’t even close. There are people who will obviously prefer the more light-hearted story of GTA V but speaking of just writing quality? I think most most will agree that Cyberpunk wins by a landslide. Of course this is only an opinion so, as mentioned before, some will disagree, and that’s fine. They’re wrong but that’s fine.
A closer, more fair comparison would be Red Dead Redemption 2 vs Cyberpunk, since both stories have the same tragic theme (or at least similar). With that I genuinely don’t think one is better than the other, but I’m getting side-tracked.
Anyway, yeah Cyberpunk wins this buy a country mile.
