what free roam game has the best out there in terms of size, scenery, density etc
pic unrelated/related im not sure
>>331473913
Pic definitely related.
>>331473913
Why did GTA V do away with San Fierro
>in terms of size
>Los Santos in V alone is bigger than the entirety of SA in the 3D Universe
>b-but it FEELS bigger!
I had fun just driving around the motorways in that game.
>>331474467
they could barely fill one city with activities, there's no way they could have half assed their way with two and get away with it
>>331473913
Here's a challenge for you fuckers.
Circle all the safe houses you can buy in this game from memory.
>>331474627
I forgot Los Venturas as well, the actual size of the GTA V map might be bigger but it's just underwhelming
>>331474572
but it did feel bigger. SA had more open and wide areas. It felt more spacious.
V is cramped full of shit. It's not the same thing.
>>331474779
And yet at the same time it feels so empty because there's fuck all to do compared to San Andreas
>>331475073
>there's fuck all to do compared to San Andreas
There's more to do. Drop the nostalgia goggles.
GTA V has less shit to do than IV did, the only thing it has on it is customization
Also the heists are shit in both single player and online
>It feels bigger, guys
>>331473913
LotR Online had a lot of work put into it
>>331475462
The fact that it feels bigger shows that size ultimately doesn't matter as much as people think when crafting a good map, it's all in how you utilize space.
>>331475661
And V utilized space much better than having a shitty giant desert and forest that nobody liked
>>331475462
Looks like all they did was scale each down until all the roads were the same width. But roads aren't the same width in all games.
>>331475725
>>331475661
>this
also big maps are nice as well nut just not so much when just empty hill sides
>>331475752
this
>>331475725
>And V utilized space much better than having a shitty giant desert and forest that nobody liked
>>331475364
>GTA V has less shit to do than IV
Factually wrong. IV had the least to do out of every GTA.
>>331475462
>>331475752
Yeah, here's it scaled to in-game units (meters).
>>331475967
>IV had the least to do
As much as you can dislike the game, saying that GTA III had more to do than IV is beyond retarded.
>>331475462
Too bad 70% of it is empty.
>people saying V has nothing to do and that the map is small
Go fuck yourselves, you're the same kind of faggot that's gonna say V was a masterpiece when VI comes out because you have to be a contrarian about whatever's newest
>>331476070
>3 has crushing cars
>IV doesn't
3 > IV
IV was the worst fucking GTA and probably even the worst open-world game. Everyone unanimously hated it up until recently thanks to you contrarian fucks and your Zelda cycle. IV was so bad it made everyone jump ship to Saints Row.
>>331476191
This
Nobody liked GTA IV until V came out, suddenly /v/ think IV was the best GTA ever made.
>>331473913
>no ones posting maps they think are good
> just arguing about witch gta is more shit
>nice
>>331476234
>unanimously
I don't think you actually know what that word means.
>IV was so bad it made everyone jump ship to Saints Row
Some good b8 right here senpai
>>331476547
What, you actually don't remember everyone leaving GTA because of how bad IV was, and moving to SR2 instead? It was because GTA IV dropped fun and focus on "MUH DRAMA STORY". The game was boring trash and had nothing to do in it.
>>331476847
>you actually don't remember everyone leaving GTA because of how bad IV was
No because only insane people can remember things that never happened.
>>331476847
>What, you actually don't remember everyone leaving GTA because of how bad IV was, and moving to SR2 instead?
No.
>>331477097
>>331477402
Then you're either lying, or literally too new. Got damn I hate how fucking fickle the contrarian faggots of /v/ are.
>>331477542
>Then you're either lying, or literally too new.
Nah, just not retarded.
>>331475462
what is this meme?
>>331477542

It seems you're the contrarian against the popular opinion of the game, anonpai.
>>331477840
Looks like it was cropped from GTA:SOL.
>>331475462
>it feels bigger
you laugh now but this is actually what rockstar said about the gta 5 map

Give it a few more years for your nostalgia to cloud your judgement as much as ti does for old GTA games.

>IV felt big because of how much attention was paid to every district

>>331474693
I only bought a few safe houses in SA. Usually the house on Prickle Pines by the Freeway in Las Venturas, another one near Madd Dogg's house, and usually settle by the bridge in San Fierro.
>>331478517
It wasn't the best execution, but having all the islands together in one game is a great mod idea. If V modding ever ramps upand if R* pull the stick out of their asshopefully it'll happen with V.SA in pic related can actually be moved down and to left a bit more, and that's without map limit adjusters.
>>331473913
Just cause 2
>>331479575
Fuck off JC2's map is one of the worst. It's just big empty copy+pasted terrain.
>the yay leaving san fierro, right?
well /v/, are you up to the task? will you navigate this ungodly clusterfuck of a map for a couple thousand bucks? or will you just stick to the main missions, trailing the train tracks cross the countryside like a straight busta?
>>331473913
I still really enjoy SA's map, I feel like the map really utilized it's space well, it's smaller than V, but it felt like there was more to see and do. I like V's map, but everything north of Los Santos just isn't used that much, I think at the very least they could have had some larger town area to the north that gets used more.
>>331479962
i think gta V maps would've been better if the main city was somewhat in the center of the map because theres really no reason to go up north on it
>>331479962
I forgot to add, V felt like it was big just for the sake of being big, it was very well detailed in a lot of areas, but there was so little to do north of shady sands and all that.
>>331479879
I've played through SA 5 or more times and I think I've only done the yay side missions once or twice.
>>331480103
Yeah that wouldn't be a bad idea either.
>>331476182
Like San Andreas' map?
>>331479879
I always use the highways, or back roads when I'm up to the task.
>not thinking sr2 stilwater was the ultimate free roam experience
San Andreas had the best designed map
>3 main islands that felt different enough from each other
>It felt like an accomplishment when you unlocked a new island
>Each city was unique and had a 'buffer' zone
V has the worst map
>Wide roads that take up a quarter of the map
>One island with forced diversity
>Nothing to do
>>331480379
I loved the progression in SA and that each area played a role in the timeline. One of my favorite moments is the first time you enter SF after burning the weed farm.
>>331473913
Daily Reminder: San andreas is still the longest gta game in terms of mission and biggest in terms of content. (Shells, Horse Shoes, Safe Houses, Girl Friends, Driving, boating, and flying schools and territories)
>>331480581
Am I the only one that enjoys the different schools in SA?
I still really enjoy V's map, I feel like the map really utilized it's space well. It didn't have San Fierro or Las Venturas, but it felt like there was more to see and do because what was there had so much more in it. I like SA's map, but everything in between Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas is just fucking nothing. It's just a long road that makes it take longer to go from point A to point B for the sake of taking longer. I think at the very least they could have had some actual small towns or something in the desert and backwoods
>>331480379
>One island with forced diversity
what does this even mean?
>>331480731
I feel the complete opposite, everything north of Los Santos felt really underutilized, you barely had any reason to ever got north of shady sands, hardly any missions ever took place up there. The areas were detailed, but there was never really a big reason to mess around in them. In SA the only area I think that was perhaps a bit too big/underdetailed was the forest. I felt like the desert area was used well enough and detailed enough, it wasn't too much a hassle to drive through either. I think V needed a more significant town or something outside of Los Santos, one where there's more mission content.
>>331473913
Just Cause 2 or 3
>>331480943
Blacks and Latinos live South of the Olympic Freeway in Los Santos.
>>331481459
>he thinks there's black people in the Hollywood Hills
>>331477542
If it makes you feel better, I remember that.
IV was the whole "games should be realistic, not fun" spin from Rockstar. I liked the darker tone, the drama setting, but the fact that minor car bumps sent me through the windshield, plus NOPLANES, really messed the game up for me. V seems like a better compromise.
>>331474572
try again, shitposter-kun
and yes this is accurate
>>331481354
JC2 was great size-wise but it was so cookie cutter repetitive it hurts
>>331480379
>V has the worst map
Fuck off, IV and 3 did.
>>331482475
Well thank fuck I'm not the only person.
Fuck all ya'll
>>331483027
IV had a great urban feel, a functional transport system, road works, numerous interiors, big parks etc.
V is LS without any of the above plus mountains
>>331482475
>People complain that IV and V are too realistic
>If you rear ended someone hard enough in IV they fell out of their car on fire
>NPC drivers can die from crashes as low as 25mph in V
But no, it's too realistic because they don't have a shitty jetpack that looks stupid because your legs just stay in place
>>331483128
agreed fuck the haters
>tfw you're just walking around and find an inn and it gives you an awesome quest
>>331482475
>>331483290
V tries to keep the physical realism of IV with some ham-fisted wackiness from SA and it ends up a worse version of both. It doesn't have a personality, just a series of vignettes that feel more like a movie
>>331483290
>shitty jetpack
Wew lad.
I bet you hate fun too and don't even ATTEMPT to get above 3 stars in the old ones. God forbid the military gets called on you!

>No road works
Why do people have to lie about GTA V to tear it down?
>>331484021
but you just ignored my argument
It must be really fun for you to drive a buggy over hills for 3 hours but honestly anon this wasn't what GTA was about. I mean in SA you had the great zone-appropriate music to go for when you were in the woods or desert but here there's not even that. Seriously something close to 75% of the map is absolutely completely useless
>>331483290
Jetpack was awesome and you know it.
The driving in IV was much more realistic than SA. Then isn't necessarily bad, but it made it much less fun in this case.
>>331484203
>I mean in SA you had the great zone-appropriate music to go for when you were in the woods or desert but here there's not even that
V has exactly that though. Steal a car from the desert and it'll be on the country music station, steal one from the ghetto and it'll be rap.
Why do you have to keep lying?
>>331484203
I agree, 75% of San Andreas was absolutely completely useless
San Fierro was completely forgettable and had the shitty RC missions
Las Venturas was just a prelude to the LA riots parody
Los Santos was boring and the gang wars mechanic was garbage
I'm so glad I pirated the dogshit that is V and didn't waste my money on it
I thought I would finish the story and be done with it but the shitty sitcom-tier writing just made me angrier
>>331484410
>Muh story
I miss when people used to play GTA for the gameplay. IV ruined the series by introducing underage story-fags.
>>331484337
>threads about VC and SA music started to this day
>can barely remember 5 tracks from GTA V and nothing is said about it even though it's way more recent
being a corporate shill must be exhausting
>>331484481
what the fuck are you talking about, SA had a decent story of revenge and murder
>>331484481
but even SA has a way better story and characters than that dogshit V
>>331484530
Not as exhausting as being a mentally ill nostalgiafag.
>>331484637
do you think $60 is worth justifying by endless shitposting? We get it, you spent money on the game, probably more on shark cards, just jerk off to it somewhere else
>>331484608
>>331484630
>Only caring about story
Do you faggots even PLAY video games any more?
>>331484737
Don't worry, thanks to the Zelda cycle I'll see you same nostalgia faggots when GTA VI comes out when you hate it and start reminiscing over V instead.
>>331484630
>SA has a way better story
>Hood niggas n shit
>Oh shit I gotta leave Los Santos and work for some blind Asian guy in San Fierro
>BUSTA
>Guess I'll go to Las Venturas now too
>Oh hey LA Riots let's crash a fire truck and kill Samuel L Jackson
Truly it felt like I was immersed in a movie
>>331484757
it's a central component of the series. V was actually notable for letting you explore the map without story progression, that's how important story is in these games
and it blows ass in V
>>331483978
All the cities from anvil to lewyawin were constantly near invisible walls. If you took anytime trying to explore anything south of them it would give you invisible wall messages. It was worse than skyrim with that bullshit.
>>331484481
But VC and SA have better stories. Half the fun of GTA is the crazy mother fuckers you meet. V wasn't that great. Too much FIB too soon.
>>331473913
Surprised nobody mentioned it yet
>>331484926
yes, this is literally better than V
can you imagine how the series has fallen
>>331484950
Why don't you storyfaggots who came into the series with IV go back play Telltale and Gone Home instead. You'd love those. All story without any of the "toxic" hassle of gameplay.
>>331475462
gta5 is just artificial bigness.
>>331485054
so you only "play" GTA:O
got it
>>331485028
because people are just bitching about gta
>>331484530

keep digging though
>>331485240
He also conveniently never responded to me proving his ass wrong in: >>331484168
Excuse shitty picture.
Just cause 2.
Not only is it absolutely massive, but it covers several biomes. Fly long enough and you'll go from the desert to the alps. The small fishing villages look believable, so does the city. The skybox is fucking incredible and it's comfy as fuck.
So many times I used to just sit in a boat in the shallows off the beach at sun set.
God I love this fucking game.
>>331483290
Ah yes, good reasoning. The jetpack was shit because it looked bad.
>>331485074
kinda is though

>LMAO NEW GAMES R SHIT ONLY OLD GAEMS R GUD

>I'm not the only one to remember VC and SA music way more fondly than IV and V
It's called nostalgia. /v/ have always had a bad habit of getting blinded by it.
>>331485361
Oh and that creepy Lost inspired japanese part of the map? Fucking awesome.
And the giant creepy bunny out in the middle of the ocean.
>>331473913
Xenoblade Chronicles X is definitely up there imo.
Fucking huge, great variety, and tons of hidden shit to find, and a great sense of scale between in and out of skell.
>>331485437
how much does Rockstar pay, I'm looking to turn my online shitposting into profit
>>331485431
The hills aren't impassable. They literally even have bike tracks on them that lead to the top.
Fallout 4 by far
>>331485565
they're impassable if you approach them from the roads. Sure you can scale them with the right vehicle but there really is no point, there's nothing there. They only exist to prolong travel time and to create the illusion that the map hold something interesting
>>331485543
>Shill
>Because someone likes one GTA game over another GTA game
That doesn't even make any fucking sense. It's the same series by the same company, why would they pay to discredit their own games.
>>331484926
V felt like a heist movie and an action movie combined.
>>331485680
>discredit old game that brings no profit to make newer, profit-generating game look better
sounds like a shill agenda to me

Are these supposed to prove something?
I can easily crop the entire USA real life map and make it look "smaller" than these. I need real proof of the games sizes
>>331485518
I wish X had more forced human mode areas. Like fortresses and facilities and shit, not just caves. Thought I was getting that at the end, but was only a short area in second to last chapter and nothing at all in the very last one.
>>331485779
way to defeat my argument anon
you have proven the GTA V map is actually full of passable hills that still don't have anything on/in them and inflate the map
>>331485765
>old game that brings no profit
Pretty sure they've been gradually releasing old GTA's on phones recently. They just did SA.
So your theory is still retarded.
>>331475993
Dunno about you, but Vice City felt like the perfect map size. I wouldn't mind if they released a game covering all the main cities, at Vice City size in each place you travel to. Liberty, Vice, San Andreas, Carcer, maybe even notLondon, instead of a giant map you only play 25% of the area in, and a few locations dotted around the big expanse of bullshit
>>331485936
wow those phone games must bring like $35 a day, they're swimming in that phone emulation cash huh
compared to the millions from shark cards
>>331485854
But I assume it's okay when SA has hills with nothing on them?
>>331485809
The third post there is a mod with all the islands together, it's accurate.
And this >>331475993 is scaled using in-game units.
>>331486023
B-but muh Bigfoot meme
>>331486023
in a game from 2004? yeah
plus SA has interesting characters in the hills like Catalina, Truth, Toreno etc.
V has... that guy who teaches you to shoot deer?
>>331485471
More open-world games need creepy shit out in the ocean. GTAV was a massive let-down in this regard as it had what? The tiny hatch as a reference and the UFO which was kind of neat I guess. Could have thrown in a sea monster or some shit, even if it was just like a tiny glimpse then it disappeared.
Fallout 4 was a joke thoughlike the game in general. Huge body of water and it had nothing in it. Post-nuclear world with irradiated creatures and you don't even throw in monsters in the sea? Not even some creepy Cthulhu shit that already exists in the series now?
>>331486209
why did they shill underwater exploration for so long before release? Is this more cut content?
>>331486174
>yeah
Called it.

No you're right it totally doesn't have aything
>>331486331
you seem to be getting emotional, kid. I'm just pointing out how good characters can compensate for map emptiness flaws and how badly GTA V needed that
>>331486018
San Andreas on Google Play sold over 174 thousand copies at 9 bucks each.
That's over one and a half million bucks just for android phone San Andreas.
>>331486437
you seem to be cherry picking, kid. I'm just pointing out how GTA V had a lot of shit to do and a lot of interesting characters but it's apparently bad because it's the newest in the series.
>>331486437

They don't though. They make literally no difference outside of missions.

Are you kidding or do you really think there's more to do in V than SA?

what about bike races?
what about pay phone missions?
what about fast food?
what about casinos?

I had to google half of these guys, that's how generic and boring they are
I haven't played SA in probably 5 years and I still remembered Catalina, Truth and Toreno instantly
So this thread turned into a bunch of manchildren arguing about various GTA games.
Never change, /v/. You sad bastards.
>>331474467
The exciting part of other gta games was to "unlock" the next part of the map. There wasn't really any of that in V. having multiple cities (or locked sections of 1 big city) makes for a more satisfying progression. I hope they don't fuck that up in the next gta
>>331487313
man R* really is working overtime huh
>video starts with Franklin able to keep perfect balance on top of a truck doing 30ish mph and of Michael diving in the literally one underwater location in the game
does this get any better?
>>331487337
Because Catalina was the fucking main villain of 3, you shithead
Truth was a boring hippie and Toreno was a forgettable faggot

>you can't stand on top of a low-speed moving vehicle

>>331487516
I couldn't even tell you who the main villain of V was. Was it Weston? Is he the CIA guy?
>>331487621
Because you didn't play it
Which is obvious by how little you know about it, but then again this is /v/, and people only shit talk the games they have no fucking idea about or didn't play
>>331487704
actually I finished the story which is why I'm so massively disappointed in the game. If I'd stuck to blowing shit up with Trevor I might have found it a neat sandbox
>>331487704
>you just never played it
Is that what you tell everyone who played it and didn't love it?
why is there literally nothing in/around the Alamo sea? Seems like a huge addition for nothing
>>331487603
So why can't you do it on 95% of vehicles in V? Only certain vehicles like that semi truck allow you to stand on top it while it moves.
>>331475462
i just want more roads and a real fucking forest
Back'O'Beyond in San andreas and Tall Trees in Red Dead were 10/10 but paleto forest in V fucking sucks dick
>>331487621
Steven Haines was the main villain of V. He spends most of the game using the protagonists to do his dirty work. Weston made the mistake of screwing the crew out of their payments (although it could be argued that they attracted heat near the truck stop, and it wouldn't be smart of he was seen interacting with them right after the police are looking for the stolen cars). On second thought, he's more Michael and Franklin's villain than Trevor.

Even though he has no idea how hard it would be to stand on a truck doing 60

I swear you faggots are just searching for excuses to shit on V and I have no idea why. At least stay fair and consistent instead of flip-flopping when it best suits your bias, Jesus Christ.
>>331488426
and VC doesn't include anything outside Miami and neither 3 nor IV have upstate NY so what's your point
>>331474754
Yeah that game is just bland. All glitz and no fun. It feels like an empty souless world. GTA 3 had more character than that lifeless city.

Ill try asking again, which GTA game takes place in Washington? because it sure aint SA.

>>331488807
nah. Technically better, maybe, hich is the bare minimum. But the writing and the single player focus just isn't there
>>331488807
The map is better, the story and missions suck. With GTA V, they spent all their time on online and almost none on the story or campaign missions. Plus I absolutely hated the 3 character split, don't feel like I got to know any of them.
>>331489010

Pretty sure Carcer City doesn't exist in HD verse unless Manhunt is canon. Also your forgot Bullworth which is definitely canon
>>331488527

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
you can enter like 4 buildings though, thats not fun. and where are the mini games? Not even a police mission? jesus fuck. what happened R*
>>331489192
Fucking this man.
SP in GTAV fucking sucked. It was short as hell and had no character like the old ones. GTAIV had a boring as fuck setting, but the campaign was god tier.
>>331489192
>wildlife and dogs and cats
oh boy
>Online wasn't even available at launch
so? They were developing the game with Online in the oven and it clearly shows
>>331484757
Neo/v/ doesn't care about gameplay, just look at the catalog, full of letsplayers and VN's, gameplay is a thing of the past sadly
>>331489336
even though I love SA I have a special place for IV. Something about the deeper characters in a darker setting really hit me right
>>331489368
Online is boring as fuck though. SP is what made GTA what it is. Wish they focused on that more. Also no riot cheat again? R* = fags.
>>331489489
I'm not arguing against any of that. The focus on Online should have at least meant good online but nope
>>331488587
Are you actually retarded?
>>331489489
Yeah that riot in San Andreas was so realistic
>People walking down sidewalks casually holding TVs
>Cars blowing up for no reason
>>331489595
who's talking about realism?
>>331489481
It was an actual story with characters you gave a fuck about.
GTAV is a bunch of movie references and no character development (mostly because there is 3 main characters instead of one)
Trevor in particular is the cringiest edgelord in the history of gaming. I felt insulted every time he ever spoke.
>>331489595
No it wasnt realistic, it was a fun cheat code
whats with you fags anyways?
>>331489708
>whats with you fags anyways?
Rockstar occasionally makes their interns comb over threads like these to try to influence public opinion and to bring in new Shark card customers
>>331489595
Realism is for fags. Also I was talking about GTA 3 and Vice City riot cheats where random peds would have guns and it was all out anarchy on the streets.

>>331480581
Even just the story itself was long as fuck without even doing the extra shit. Had tons of different kinds of missions too, not all of them were "drive to gun fight while hearing npcs say clever things on the ride" like 4 became.

Well I have a prestigious history of industrious shitposting as well as synergising new shitposting paradigms (bitches love buzzwords), as you can see here in my portfolio.

Sir, this is an interview for the position of janitor for the local high school. Not to mention all those posts that replied to you are clearly shopped, I can tell by the pixels, and the fact that you copy and pasted the same 1000000 get on all of your replies.

Is this still the best guide for PC SA?
"Alright, /v/, here's the guide to GTA: San Andreas in its most complete and best form as originally envisioned by R*.
This guide is fool-proof if you follow it verbatim. Which version of SA you have doesn't matter: The first mod "Things to do in San Andreas 'till you're dead" will automatically downgrade your version of the game to 1.0. And v1.0 is necessary for modding.
There's no guarantee this works on Steam. If you've bought the Steam version, it's best you torrent the game.
(http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/5224660/%5BPC_GAME_MULTI5%5D_GTA_-_Grand_Theft_Auto_-_San_Andreas___Crack)
Each file that you download has a "read me" that explains how you need to proceed in particular. READ THEM.
1. You need a full, unaltered, English installation of GTA SA. Install your retail version or download it from Pirate Bay.
2. Download "TtdinSAtyd" and install it.
(http://www.gta-downloads.com/en/gta-san-andreas/total-conversions/12820-things-to-do-in-san-andreas-till-youre-dead.html)
This mod adds tons of cut content back into the game. Entire missions, voice overs, vehicles, mini-games that didn't make it into the final version of the game can be played again.
3. Download the fixes to "Things to do in San Andreas 'till you're dead" and install all three of them.
(http://www.mediafire.com/download/8zehbjrci0xhzzt/TTDISA_AiO_fixes.zip)
4. First, download the ASI Loader and install it. Then download the Silent Patch and install it.(http://steamcommunity.com/app/12120/discussions/0/34096318964479523/) This adds improvements that tweak the graphics, performance and look of the game.
5. Download and replace the Timecyc in your GTA: SA/data folder. (http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=20208).
This adds the original PS2 sky colours and lighting that are otherwise missing in the PC version."

Which Grand Theft Auto title had the best gritty NYC atmosphere Anon
III or IV ? Lets settle this

>>331492084
What has this place done to us
>>331492095
I had so much fun with buddies in 3 that I just can't see it as bleak or gritty. But IV really had that depressing metropolis thing going on
>>331487313
>shoots windshield
>shatters in 5
>doesn't shatter in 4
It's laminated glass, it won't shatter like that.
>showing the different driving models
Holy shit 5 looks so weightless compared to 4.
>>331492095
One of the main complaints of IV was that it was TOO gritty, but I think it matched the whole theme of decadence going on with the game.
>>331492254
It made me gooder at grammar.
>>331489595

>>331492975
>>wind is completely unrealistic
It happens all the time always. And even then you wouldn't be swaying around like that unless there was some storm going on.
>>your character being a bad pilot is unrealistic
Being a bad pilot != being a retard throwing the yoke all over the place.
>>331492490
Just turn up the saturation a bit. Or fuck around with a trainer until you get this.
>>331493078
when rockstar makes a better game than the predecessor, like when they went from 3 to vice city.
>>331493078
both of these statements are true, except the sucking part. V is still a very good game but the bar is set very high
>>331491789
Personally after playing it once to see the novelty of the cut stuff, I didn't really like the "things to do in San Andreas till you're dead" mod. Shit was wildly broken in it or unbalanced even if it worked.
You niggers want to know the worst part of san andreas?Gta 5's multiplayer is worse then sa:mp or even MTA because of hackers, lack of content, and shitty leveling systems
>>331493334
Funny thing vice city was supposed to be a xpac for gta3
EfLC made gta 4 100x times better and i bet a singleplayer expansion would fix the turd that V is

you must be severely retarded
people were complaining because you can literally teleport from one side of the map to the other on 4 stars into some backstreet alley and the cops will find you almost immediately
I know this because I've done it. It's not the difficulty it's the stupid implementation. Sure you can escape them in a tunnel or the wilderness but that's not the point
>>331494362
>V cops hard
What? I just go find the nearest hill to climb up and get away easily. 3 stars with helicopters make it a bit difficult but you just need to leave the city and go fast.
>>331494565
>people were complaining because you can literally teleport from one side of the map to the other on 4 stars into some backstreet alley and the cops will find you almost immediately
You mean like literally every GTA ever made? If anything, V is the only one that actually lets you hide.
