So /v/, what was the best GTA game and why was it San Andreas?
It was SA because it has perhaps THE greatest open-world map in a game, ever.
Vice City because it wasn't nigger themed and had GOAT new wave and rock.
>>319867274
>>319867605
>>319867921
Oh fuck off with your nostalgiafag shit. The most recent GTA is always the best, because GTA's most important driver is technological advancement
>>319868005
better graphics =/= a better game
>>319868051
GTA V has better physics, gunplay, and immersion. "waah I can't use a dildo as a weapon or visit Las fucking Vegas".
>>319867274
because it has the best multiplayer mod of 0's
>>319867921
Vice City has the best setting
>>319868136
The city was called Las Venturas, did you even play the game? Jesus, your stupid.
reinstalling
>>319871064
>your
GTA SA is the best game of all time. Followed by Just cause 2 and Max payne.
>>319868136
not really. SA was the last one where it was your job to be an amoral gang banger. In V, everyone needs emotional growth and has to learn a lesson (look at Franklin or Michael). The very fact that Trevor is an 'absurd' character in the game shows that the franchise is far from what is used to be.
Compare Tommy Versetti or CJ to Niko or Michael. I'm more immersed with the amoral asshole that doesn't give a fuck, because it's GTA, not Hugbox Story Time
I'm a big fan of IV, but mods are really improving 5 to near GOAT level.
guess we'll see how things look by next summer.
>>319868005
That would make 4 the best game.
>>319871923
Is this supposed to make GTAV look bad?
>>319872086
Maybe you should come back when you're a bit less polarized.
Flying cars was the best cheatcode
Prove me wrong. I remember laughing my ass off when I was kid thinking I was a Harry Potter nigga flying through the city
>>319872164
>maybe you should come back when you stop liking things I don't like
Explain what is wrong with that webm.
>>319867921
>Using music as criteria for best game
>In a game with a custom player radio station
>>319872334
What the fug are you on about
>>319867274
Vice City has the best setting, atmosphere and music.
>>319867274
The first. None in the series has stood out in the same way since. Two was a solid upgrade, but afterwards the public opinion was "eh, well yeah its gta" Rockstar even had false flag publicity stunts, all kinds of shit to generate interest. But while faggots were playing Barney with wings(pic related) I was farting in niggers faces and setting them on fire. Graphics don't make the game, and very little has been original or stood out since.
>>319873514
edgy
>>319873262
VC does have the objectively shittest map.
>>319873650
only to newfags. underage&b&
>>319867921
But Vice city don't have K-rose, k-dst and WCTR ;^)

>driving my pickup truck through the desert nights while K-Rose plays all my exes live in texas
No other GTA game gives me similar memories
HOW THE FUCK I CLEAR THIS FREEFALL MISSION? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>319867274
Vice city.
When I think about a gta which I want to replay it's always vice city. SA is MUH GHETTO MOFUGGA MUH FATHER MUH MOTHER MUH SISTA MUH BROTHA AY FUCK YOU.
The only fun part in SA is riding a bike in that huge open world hill billy part of the map.
>>319873514
2 didn't have motorcycles, I remember that being a bit of a bummer.
what would be your reaction if in 2004 someone would tell you that 10 years later you will be able to play gta:sa on phones?
>>319868136
IV's gunplay and physics were better than V's
And even then that doesn't make a good game. If that were the case the best game would just always be the newest and most advanced one. Which is fucking stupid because you're ignoring an entire range of aspects that could determine whether a game is decent or not. It's not even nostalgia, it's just taking into account elements like freedom, setting, writing, characters, map design, weapon and vehicle variety, mission types, and tons of other shit that makes games enjoyable to play. The engine is not all there is to a video game.
>>319873923
NOT EXACTLY PREMIUM LIQUOR, IS IT?
I think i might fucked up something
>>319874028
>K-Rose
>K-dst
>Los santos radio
Overall, I think San Andreas's stations had the most variation overall, and the most memorable tracks. (though I guess that's kind of subjective)
I'm just trying to say I think in terms of mass appeal and variety the stations on San Andreas were better than vice city.
anyone who says vice city is confirmed for having vc as their first gta
>>319874683
And anyone who says SA confirmed for having SA as their first gta
5 unless you're a consolekek
>>319874920
>doesn't even try to refute me
I should really get paid for my psychic abilities
>>319874920
only including console titles
SA > IV > V > III = VC
VC and III might as well be the same game. SA made the series interesting. IV started off like shit, but DLC and mods made it top tier. V has superior gunplay, but the world feels dead.
>>319874683
I say Vice City and my first game was GTA2.
>>319874920
Is totally right.
>>319874242
GTA is fun BECAUSE of the good graphics/physics/gunplay. and I think GTA V's physics and gunplay are better than GTA IV's by a landslide, GTA IV was way too floaty and not very grounded in reality
GTA V had the best setting/story by far too, felt like a movie
>>319875309
nah, sa had a shitton of new features. the only thing that vc had over 3 was bikes and fruity neon lights.
>>319875380
you lost me when you said best setting/story. that's such bullshit and you know it.
michael is boring as shit
franklin is too mellow
trevor is /b/ shit that reddit embraced as their own
if the game was all about lamar, the story would be 10/10.
>>319875626
is the story incredible? no, but it's easily the best executed of the GTA's. GTA IV's writing alone might be better but GTA V is executed like an actual film which puts it leagues and leagues above pretty much any other game i've seen (excluding naughty dog shit I guess)
this part from GTA IV portrays my point perfectly. there's no way I can take this seriously without cringing
https://youtu.be/1bi6e1rRGgo?t=91
>>319874060
To be fair all that ghetto drama is only in 1/3 part of the game tough.
>>319867274
Because I never gave up my original Hot Coffee version.
And still have the hacked gamesave file that lets me play the Hot Coffee minigames.
>>319867274
The best gta game was mafia 1
>>319876027
Mafia is a separate franchise bro.
>>319875598
>sa had a shitton of new features
Most of them where annoying or just didn't really add anything of value.
The story and setting was way worse.
I can't decide on IV and V though because SA totally killed my interest in GTA.
>>319875598
And a much better story/protag.
I have nothing against the theme (though it sadly gets mostly dropped partway through the game) but what gets me is CJ just constantly being a doormat to Tenpenny even after just murdering dozens of cops on his way back from the most recent gang war.
I mean fuck I'm not playing these games to be some little bitch, hence TV being a much better protagonist in an arguably better setting.
>>319876060
V is better than IV on this basis alone
>>319875847
>>319874354
/pol/ vision
>>319875626
lamar is just ryder 2.0. the entire last two thirds of gta 5's story is complete trash and you can tell all the work went into the shark card simulator instead. you steal some cars for a guy and oh by the way he's the final villian. the story mode was an afterthought.
>>319867921
A game named "Grand Theft Auto" can only be nigger-themed by definition, anon
>>319876152
and that's why my opinion is that V story is complete trash. the ending was trash. the banter was forced. michael's was a kek. his son was an idiot. trevor's meth war shit was somewhat amusing, but ended too soon. franklin' and lamar had some good moments, but even that was trash.
slav life in IV was some good shit. I'd pay $20 for rockstar to remake using the V engine. liberty city > los fagos.
>>319876152
technological advancement deserves a lot more credit than you're giving it. you really enjoy this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWOQQTBCcTM
more than this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCFwvngf0GM
it's an exponential difference in quality. voice acting, mocap, visuals, even writing. every Rockstar game has been a huge leap above its predecessor.
GTA V didn't have as memorable writing and then some, the game sounds like it was written by Twitter
>>319876401
>even writing.
stop.
>>319876576
watch the videos (or play the games) then get back to me. you probably haven't even played San Andreas in years.

>>319867274
Because it does open world good. Pic related the story perfectly correlates with the map, instead of going to random places like most modern open world games.

Prove it, then.
>>319875380

Hello neo-/v/!

GTA 3 was my first, and I like SA more than 5 and 4. RIPIP
>>319867274
What was the best part of San Andreas and why was it Flint Country?
Absolutely cozy
>>319867274
http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=1194
Install this mod. It literally triples SA's content.
>>319873514
Graphics don't make the game, true enough, but saying that very little has been original or stood out since GTA 2 is basically ignoring everything that happened since GTA 2.
As someone who had San Andreas as a strong number one for years, some months ago i replayed Vice City and it took the spot.
I couldnt get around to see how well it glues together as a whole art-piece capturing the time it plays in so well with it's music, setting, atmosphere, and pop culture cliche story, compared to San Andreas where you OBVIOUSLY could do much more and have various kind of fun with all the objects in, but the story and setting suffered a bit, if you think you're just some Thug from the streets how it develops after LS and getting to the county and on.
After that, a simple Protag change could've worked, killing CJ and playing as (Sweet) getting revenge on Ornsteiner and Big Smough, like they tried in Red Dead Redemption (first?) searching for them all over the state.
I guess, the bigger something gets, the harder it becomes to handle.
>>319868005
V has fucking nothing to do in it.
>>319880059
Isn't this the one that bugs the final mission?
>>319874367
Normally I don't like country but I could listen to K-Rose. I liked Vice City but I was only able to ever stand V-Rock in that.
>>319867921
this
>>319875847
>GTA V is executed like an actual film
If I wanted a film I'd watch a film then. I didn't want a film, I wanted to play GTA.
>>319881519
Is it? My game crashes as soon as I drive the tank through the wall and I have that mod installed. Haven't been able to find a fix for it and Los santos has been rioting for months.
Did they release a patch somewhere that fixes it?
I love San Andreas
Play it all the time when I'm on the road for work
>>319881985
Last time I checked, like a year ago, the mod developer had disappeared and there was no patch.
>>319867274
It's a tie between this and vice city for the music, both had god tier soundtracks. SA gets the edge because of its story, voice acting, map, and gameplay changes.
>>319882045
>those atrocious controls
>>319873923
Right but they're using bikes cj and they go cross country
>most modable GTA ever
>not playing LS:RP

>>319882576
You get used to it after a while
>>319881779
All GTA games where the same to even a bigger extent. Now its just a matter of taste
If you like Catch Shorty/Be Cool, Oceans Eleven/12/13 and some others based around Hollywood and recent pop culture, you'll like V
If you like Scarface, Miami Vice and other s set around the neon 80s you'll like Vice City
And V is by far the most advanced technichally, so they could do much better immersion and atmosphere with it. The online lowrider update kinda made me really angry at Rockstar, because this stuff shouldve been in there before and FOR SINGLEPLAYER. They could've used that a bit more to expand on Franklins bland charachter in some more Hood missions.
>>319883010
>And V is by far the most advanced technichally
That's IV.
LS Rock Radio > Non Stop Pop FM > Rebel Radio > everything else
>>319883010
Oh and i wanted to add, for all the shit Call of Duty gets, it nicely referenced many war movies in older titles, even in MW2 you got some Black Hawk Down reference here and there, kinda reminding me why i played vidya in the first place wanting to "be" in a movie or a racer or hero.
You cant hate games for trying to be like movies and homaging them, they are both very similar, while vidya most likely triggers much more cognitive functions, due to the actions required, making it also more exhausting, so i dont really mind easy and casual games
>>319867274
>GTAV is better than any GTA because its the newest game
>it had a development budget of over 100 million
>GTAVI will make GTAV old and boring
>the gta formula is always the same
>it only gets better
My favourite gta is Vice City and CTW btw
>>319883184
>one liner
GTA IV feels like playing with pupets and toy cars that slide on wooden floors.
Driving in V also is much better and precise. I can tell because i know /o/ agrees and due to being a sonypony cause of Gran Turismo for years having some experience how driving should feel
>>319867274
Because deep inside, we just want to be a nigger in the ghetto doing drive-bys on low riders.
Also, it was big and had a lot of different shit to do.
VC had the best style, SA had the most in it and was the funniest, 4 had the best story and V has the best graphics, pick.
>>319873514
whatever you say bud
>>319883010
>singleplayer
>mattering ever
lol
>>319883757
>CTW
I'll never get over the fact that the pushing drugs feature was not used in V, which would've been a perfect to earn cash beside missions, ESPECIALLY having Trevor as so called "dealer" that in the game not even ONCE sells someone anything, so he only was a maniac by trade in the end
>>319884343
Rockstar pussed out.
>>319884308
Yeah, i know anon, it's truly horiffic times to be alive
>>319884343
There was no reason to earn cash.
>>319867274
Why did it age so horribly?
>>319884450
Rockstar pussed out ?
Theres a torture scene in 5 anon
Has anyone in this thread even finished gta SA?
>>319884840
Torture and violence in games has been fine for years. Selling drugs and shit though I doubt they wanted to risk doing.
>>319868005
I love V so much, but everything about San Andreas was better, the best being the map, the music and the story.
this is a weird gripe but I felt like SA had more mid-level roads. In GTA V it feels like 75% of the time I'm on a giant freeway dodging slow ass cars that don't know what the left lane is for, 20% bumping around on dirt roads and 5% street driving
I remember SA having many more curving village roads in the mountains that were still paved and you could get from A to B without traveling on the same fucking highway for the 174th time
>>319867274
I want a remake of San Andreas with the current RAGE engine, but with GTA IVs Euphoria implementation, since they fucked that up in V.
>>319884986
Its not fine for a game if your game is a world wide event
>>319885538
That's what rockstar probably thought - hence pussed out.
>>319884343
I think they're saving it for GTA VI(ce city)
>>319867274
just being a gangster in the timeframe and the fact theres so much stuff to for you to do in the open world
>>319880059
is there any up to date mod version of this?
btw heard they cut lotsa shit on Steam version of GTA SA
is that true?
>>319875380
>GTA is fun BECAUSE of the good graphics/physics/gunplay
This I agree with. All the technology, particularly Euphoria, is the main reason I enjoy playing GTA. Without it, it would just be another generic open-world game. I just hope they don't fuck up the implementation of Euphoria in GTA VI.
>>319885006
the map and story in V is better on the basis of improved visuals/mocap/execution alone. I guess I agree with you on the music but I barely listen to music in GTA anyway
>>319885874
they won't family. people can bitch and moan about the PS4 and Xbox One's tech all they want, but if R* put out GTA V on previous gen, GTA VI is going to blow people the fuck away. I expect a jump similar from San Andreas to IV.
>>319885817
It got replaced with the shitty mobile/360 port version of the game. They also removed about 17 songs from the game due to licensing I think.
>>319867921
Vice City had the best story and the best main character. Nobody can beat Vercetti.
this was one of the best reveal trailers ever. I haven't been as hyped for a game since GTA V honestly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkkoHAzjnUs
>>319886184
damn
where can i find the uncut version of the game and updated version of the mod?
year ago i found the most up to date version of the mod but i lost the files and dl links along with the game
>>319886539
Not sure, you may have to find a disc based version online somewhere. Also, from what I've heard, the new steam version doesn't work well(Or at all) with mods.
>nostalggers
GTA V all day
>>319868005
>The most recent GTA is always the best, because GTA's most important driver is technological advancement
this sounds like the musings of someone who doesn't actually what GTA originally pioneered
early GTA games were about freely causing chaos and varied mission design
they weren't about walking down the street and going into a store to try on jackets or trading stocks
>>319886524
I remember 2011. Still haven't played V yet.
>>319887121
GTA V still has those core features tho
>>319884517
You cant prove something with words, that first hand experience from actual driving and being somewhat of a car/race nut, yes i can tell cars dont handle like in IV at all, because basically you can race in any car well considering the line of driving. The brakes in GTA IV are the most unresponsive breaks ever, and you have no ground connection at all at high speeds, despite given conditions. In V and other car games, you feel the velocity and downforce in corners, plus drifting is way off the real deal in IV, all you do there is sliding.
>>319876437
It was supposed to make fun of internet culture, therefor the entitled tatoo on jimmys neck, seen even in the second trailer?
>>319887486
But different directing
I finally got a chance to play through SA when it got ported to the 360 (way after I finished 5), and I'd say its the best. Hated 3 and 4 because Liberty City is fuck ugly and boring.
>>319884718
Yeah, even more retarded to base the story and setting around it, without achieving anything
The games story was just as phony as LA itself.
>>319887486
yes but they core features are not emphasized because there's a new-found focus on realism, (bad) storytelling, superficial customization, mini-games and slice of life satire
GTA III and VC wouldn't be caught dead making you go bowling with your cousin or having to watch your character slowly walk in and out of changing rooms
>>319886792
>>319886539
found it
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B6nnS7Lz1xjDWmRhRDNZWGJQREU&export=download
>>319888664
those core features were never emphasized, they were just there
GTA V's focus on realism and (better than any other game) storytelling is fine by me tbqh
go play Saints Row IV if you want unrealistic meme shit
>>319888825
the core features were literally always emphasized, almost every mission was pushing you to drive and shoot better or in a new way
>and (better than any other game) storytelling
lol
>>319887849
Cars really slide like that at greater speeds. There's a webm there showing that.
Beyond that, IV and V have basically the same driving model.
>>319889201
go play Saints Row IV
>>319888825
Gameplay. IV is thus better.
>>319889269
SRIV, while fun, isn't very much like earlier GTA games either, it has a similar emphasis on mini-games and customization, it's just over the top
pls recognize nuance anon, don't be dumb
