that's not small..
post the minecraft one
So did this.
Yeah, it was a lot more impressive back then.
But I don't think it ever really felt small. They did a good job of spreading out the missions so you never had to go through the exact same route again and again.
It became familiar to you, but never boring.
>>332237614
This is nothing like the actual map. Stop posting this fake shit already.
>>332239783
I wouldn't want it to be any bigger.
Even having to do those intercept missions where you go from San Fierro to Flint County? Fuck that man. Those confusing ass freeways. They're right next to each other but it still took at least ten minutes.

>Reviewed by mod/admin accepted for teamspeak interview
>Teamspeak interview is some british 13 year old who's voice hasn't broken yet
>run with it
>Go through huge background check to make sure I wasn't on a seperate account/character
>Finally do an In character team speak interview and an in game interview to make sure I can roleplay
>Accepted into "the academy"
>this consists of 40 of us "recruits" getting yelled at through teamspeak by seasoned "officers"
>Have to write an essay
>Have to take a 100 question test about basic police procedure
>Have to learn 10 codes despite modern police departments speaking plain language
The best Roleplay was in the gang war aspect between making drugs, and fighting for territory. Fuck being a cop, paramedic, or any civil service job.

>>332242357
Yeah I agree when your younger you have time, but as a real life firefighter now for a major city. I can safely say that the hiring process was more ridiculous in game then in real life. I'd say still play it, but join a gang or a crime family. All the mature and older people do that anyway from what I gather.
>>332242101
>13 year old admin
The game is older than him for christ sakes. This is why I stick with single player games.
>>332242357
Not that guy, but all that autistic shit is usually only for police.
All the player made gangs are bro-tier dudes who just want to have fun, which makes for good contrast when they have to deal with the autistic uptight police officers.

I don't think he was admin, but he was a high ranking member of the police force. This was 4-5 years ago. I was 18 or so when I went through this while I just had college to worry about.

Bigger than that. But never big. Vice City never really seemed like a full fledged sequel in general. Just an expansion of 3.
>>332244504
>that saturation
V's map has too many hills (that are relatively empty) to disguise just how small the map is. I also think the Alamo Sea was a waste of space and could have had more desert or at least a couple more towns.
Welp, GTA6 is supposedly in development now, so we'll see what they come up with next.
>>332243385
>SA's map size and proportions, but shuffled
>IV's attention to detail, but refined to play a bigger role than just being goofy
>V's shooting mechanics with a side of IV's enemy AI and driving
Shit wouldn't be perfect, but that is already a simple formula that would work better as a game than anything they've put out so far.
IV's map has too much grey (that's relatively cramped) to disguise just how boring the map is. I also think the water surrounding the city was a waste of space and it should have been closer to the mainland.
Welp, GTAVI is supposedly in development now, so we'll see how they manage to do even better than V, aka the best map they've done so far.
>>332244724
>so we'll see what they come up with next.
They'll release GTA:O 2 with a GTA III length story drizzled on top of it. GTA will now be MP focused.

Not military, just got my EMT which scored me 3 extra points on the civil service test, few months later, got the call for the interview and eventually the academy. Military scores you 10 points on the test, so you'd have no problem getting hired.
Big cities are a lot easier to get hired in then small municipal communities. Also any fireman worth his salt would want to go to the big city, because the city=more fire.

I mean I'll get used to it, I've played it multiple times in the past, it just feels a lot more dated in aspects than SA. SA wasn't perfect either, but at least in SA I could control the camera in my car with my mouse. The vehicle handling is also really wonky in VC compared to SA.
>>332247216
>>332247048
I think the one thing I love about VC is all the properties and houses you can buy, I loved that about it. SA had some properties, but it wasn't anywhere near as much as VC.

>>332248380
I vaguely recall Daggerfall being actually somewhat bigger than Arena
>>332247283
Daggerfall is a huge world, but tbqh, it's literally 99% generated trees and desert, so it fails to stand scrutiny in any sense.
I don't have a problem with big maps, but these days it seems like many companies make large maps with no content in them to hide the fact that the game doesn't have a lot of content in the first place.

I miss when Square used to make overworlds. Overworlds were amazing at giving the player a sense of scale, and you didn't need to blow ludicrous amounts of money making every plain and forest to scale down to individual trees. Even if total area in that map is accurate, most of it will probably be dead geography.
>>332248902
That happened to me too, surprisingly. I don't even know how many years it's been. Feels like a decade, but I doubt the game is 10 years old

This is all V Had to do was have a slightly bigger scale and the same amount of detail which they fucked up majorly
>No missions outside of LS or Trevs trailer park in the country
>Rest of the map was wasted
>cars limited to 180km/h bikes and planes almost just as slow

>>332241778
That scale is slightly off. SA should be a bit bigger, as should Liberty City which is larger than Los Santos
>>332240268
>3/4 of the game is retarded mountains
>Only one City
>Tiny useless desert
>No real landmarks outside of chilliad and LS
Yep its shit
>>332250560
That's my main issue with V, it's a nice detailed world, but there's so much useless space, it feels to me like they made big for the sake of being big. There really needed to be a more significant town in the far northern area with more content and missions. I like V's map, but too much of it feels pointless.
>>332239783
It's too big. Even Rockstar realized that so they made you do a bunch of missions in each area and giving you no reason to go back to the previous city.
San Andreas in general was the point where Rockstar started cramming as much stupid shit in the game instead of having focus, like that gang war minigame that gets thrown into the trash a few hours into the game. GTA IV literally has a mechanic that is introduced in a tutorial mission and NEVER used again.
>>332249397
Anon, I...It's 14 years old
>>332240268
That screenshot isn't of GTA V... It's a screenshot of Cities Skylines.
>>332250983
I don't think it was too big, the only area that I think could have been altered a bit was the forest between LS and SF, but even then I still enjoy that section, just needs better road design. I think they did a good job of utilizing a lot of the area's map, you had distinct sections of the story for each area with only the forest being a bit underutilized. I think V is the game that was way too big, with way too much dead space, I think SA was in a good area of having enough, but not too much.
>>332250884
Why is V the only GTA that gets shat on for having one city? SA was the only GTA to break from this. No one cared how shitty IV's map was, no one cared it was only one city.
>>332246015
Jade Sea, Echovald Forest and the Desolation are still some of my favorite places in vidya
>>332251462
I think the issue there was a lot of area outside the city that just felt like it was there to pad the map. You had some missions in shady sands, but beyond that a large section of the map is woefully underutilized. I don't think it needed another city, but it did need a much larger town and/or a town that actually had meaningful content and a part to play in the world.

What's the difference between driving around in a city and driving around in the desert? People keep saying the space is wasted but how does the gameplay actually differ in those areas
>cars limited to 180km/h bikes and planes almost just as slow
This was true for SA as well
>>332252121
Also I don't know about you guys but I like to fuck around and do my own thing. Having actual space to do it in and a variety of environments makes it fun.
I feel like /v/ are "too old" to do that in GTA nowadays but you still retain the nostalgia of doing it in older GTA's. Leading you to thinking it's the game's fault.
>>332252121
I don't remember the missions being anything significant for those properties. I did do some of the airfield missions for Trevor, but they got repetitive kind of quickly. That was one other thing that bothered me about V, they added in properties, but they were basically useless. They had no big side missions or quests, you really couldn't even make your investment back, what was the point to them? The Air base was pretty much unused unless you wanted to get a jet.
>>332252275
All I'm saying is to me it felt like there wasn't much purpose to a lot of the northern area, I hardly ever had any reason to be up there unless I just wanted to admire the scenery. Yes there was some content up there, but it seemed woefully unused for most of the game.
>>332251174
Yeah it's the V map in Skylines as the filename says
>>332251672
The map is much more used in multiplayer. If I play GTA V I only play online, it's just more fun than the single player, even with the horrible loading
>>332239783
Why is PS2 San Andreas so comfy as fuck? Everyone in the game seems so mellow and chill
>>332252557
>you really couldn't even make your investment back, what was the point to them? The Air base was pretty much unused unless you wanted to get a jet
Properties gave you repeatable missions and gave you money. You'd get gradual income and bonus money for completing missions.
Some gave you unique perks, such as the airbase. It allows you to store and buy planes. Same goes for the dock.
Buying autoshops gave you either a discount, or no cost when modding vehicles (I forget which)
>>332252106
Fog
>>332241778
i remember making this pic around the xbone announcement
>>332252846
Yes I should have mentioned that the map does get used more in online, that is a valid point. Only problem is, at least on PC, hardly anyone does the missions that don't make money as quickly.
>>332252937
They gave you money, but for a lot of them you'd have to play a very long time to make a return on your investment. The golf club costed $150 million, it generates a weekly income of $264,500. According to the wiki it would take 568 weeks to turn a profit. It was a similar case with theaters and a lot of others, it takes forever to make your money back. I would have liked if they treated them like how Vice City have properties, with more proper missions, a story, and growth. In V you pretty much just buy the properties just to have them after you've beat the game and have lots of expendable income, they don't really serve much of a purpose in the overall game.
How big will the map be in VI
>>332253462
Here's a list of the properties in V for example, there's not much to them.
http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Properties_in_GTA_V
I love how every praises SA as some perfect game that did no wrong when Gang Wars was the shittiest fucking thing ever
>>332254178
It was very far from perfect, but to me the overall game was a great and memorable experience. The gang war was definitely shitty though, gunplay wasn't too amazing, and cars too weak.
I gotta tell you I never got as much into SA as Vice City. Yeah I followed the damn train, but not much further on. Vice City had a certain charm to it I'd wager because of the small map size.
V does travelling the best, and the Heists were some of the most memorable missions in GTA
That last part to the Union Depository Heist where you have to drive the gauntlets into the back of a pair of trucks felt like some shit out of a Fast and Furious movie
>>332239783
>TFW you actually walked farther than Los Santos to Las Venturas the other day
Its insane how far apart they felt when it was really only a couple of miles.
>>332250983
Which IV mechanic is that?
>>332255115
Gang Wars itself isn't the problem, it's that CJ has to reclaim the territory by himself without any help from Woozie at that part of the game. It's pretty jarring since the Tirads helped CJ take down the Loco Syndicate and reclaim Madd Dogg's mansion in LS from drug dealers.

I don't understand why there are people who get nostalgic over IV's map, I always felt like it was the worst in the series. That image just reminds me of how fucking ugly and bland it was.
Even if you ignore the fact that New York has become a generic over over-used setting, IV was small, empty, and lifeless
Maybe some people just have a bias for New York settings, which would explain why it's used in movies and games so much, but hate it.

Arena's map size can't really be accurately measured. It just gets randomly generated as you walk away from cities and it's not possible to go from one city to another without fast traveling. I guess you could say Arena's map size is infinite.

Are you sure? I'm certain SA should be smaller.
>>332263515
But how did the island change its shape in just 20 years
>>332263715
Rockstar has stated before that the HD universe is a sort of reboot rather than a direct sequel to the original 3D universe and that any mentions of the 3D universe are just referencial.
>>332263515

lmoa

>>332263678
>>332263715
>>332263803
this is the worst part
eventhough GTA5 map is bigger than GTASA map (if you forget GTA5 is 80% empty), then still the overal design in GTA5 sucks ass.
In SA at least trains and boats and planes were useful. It actually felt like a world. Water in between, you could actually take trains and boats to reach a point.
The overal shape and design of GTA5's map is just fucking retarded as fuck, no fun at all for other vehicles than cars>>332263678
>>332263803
It still has more character compared to V LS.
>>332257892

>>332263715
It's not the same map. 5's map is Los Santos, and the Chilliad area. While SA is Los Santos, Chilliad, Las Venturas, and San Fierro. Lore-wise, San Andreas's map is much bigger.
>>332250946
SA had a bunch of "wasted" space. I'm playing through it right now and some of these tiny towns serve no real purpose.
>>332264152
B-but you go to them once to rob them with Catalina then never go back!
>>332263678
>>332263828
Didn't they make cars slower in SA because of how small the map was?
>>332264695
Yep, the motion blur and slippery handling were added to make you feel like it was faster.
>>332264810
>slippery handling
the wut
>>332264810
SA had the best handling.
>>332264856
>>332265179
It's alright if you like arcade-ish handling.
I prefer a more realistic feel myself.
>>332248494
For having waited 10 years for this game the map better be the size of China.

I'm actually okay with not being able to self-right, it's the ridiculous explosions that you have to try to out run that annoy me.
>>332237614
That's what your mom said, faggot.
>>332261272
>that small
Do you know how big 20 miles is? Like, are you fully grasping what that image is showing?
>>332266003
That those other maps clearly don't feel as if they're bigger than 20 miles or probably aren't?
>>332260734
Great musical accompaniment, also that's why daggerfall had so many options for fast travel.
>>332266192
go play daggerfall, then come see me.
>people claiming V's map is shit
how are those nostalgic glasses fitting?
>>332266532
I wasn't really thinking of that boring generated wasteland in particular, mostly the guild wars map, it's not 122 miles of walkable space, not even close. Look at the picture I edited in my other post of Tyria.
>>332266192
Well, why don't you look it up before forming a wrong opinion on the matter?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_(video_game)#Gameplay
>The world of the game is over 5,560 square miles (14,400 km2) in size, which is roughly the size of the U.S. state of Connecticut, and completely free to roam.
Daggerfall is known for it's fuckhuge 63,000 square miles of partially-randomly generated map, which was nearly impossible to travel by foot and needed fast travel.
A quick search brings up Nightfall as
>Guild Wars Nightfall (15,000 sq miles or 38,850 sq km)
That image is showing fuckhuge game maps. Just Cause 2 is accurately brought up because its huge, but it's not the biggest. It's not even impressively big in comparison to other contenders. The real question is why you didn't just look into the facts, which take about 2 to 5 seconds to check, before objecting to it.
>>332265179
3, VC, and SA had awful car handling. I don't hold it against them because they're old and it was fine for it's time, but don't try and tell me any of them had "the best handling", that's absurd.
I've played literally every GTA in some form from the first one to V.
Am I really the only one who actually prefers V to all of the others?
>>332263958
>>332263964
He's right though, the design of 3 cities split up by various terrain is far better than one big city and one big desert. It allows you to give each area and city its own tonal consistencies.
>>332266870
REMEMBER RESPECT IS EVERYTHING
>>332266870
The general consensus on /v/ was favorable for a while but at some point everyone felt like it was TOO popular and so with /v/'s never ending quest to be contrarian, they started to hate V and love IV. Even though everyone hated IV when ti came out. It was generally regarded as the worst GTA.
Basically, the Zelda cycle happened (Latest game is considered the worst, last game is considered the best)
>>332266678
IIRC, the numbers are based off of released statements by the developers. Also, when it comes to e-peen waving, I doubt they factor "walkable space" much into their numbers, probably focused on what they actually had to design, build, and map.
Why haven't they found a way to isolate the map without turning every city into an island in the middle of the ocean? Other sandbox games figured it out.
>>332241778
I want to see JC2's map up against this
>>332266968
While I love GTA II, and still go back and play it on occasion to see how the gangs will interact under different circumstances, it just doesn't hold a candle to GTA V.
>>332267069
Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining, I haven't been on /v/ in a while.
>>332267153
>Other sandbox games figured it out
All other GTA clones just do the island thing. Games like Fallout are FPS's so they can get away with invisible walls because there aren't any vehicles.
>>332267331
Watch Dogs didn't do the island thing.
I just love SA for the fucking mods.
>>332267416
Yes it did.
>>332261272
Does this "seem" better?
>>332266870
I'm fairly certain, with the exception of IV and mobile games, that every GTA is superior to it's predecessor.
>>332266870
V was way too big and all the driving got boring after a while. Theres also like 10 straight missions toward the beginning where you dont even get any money. They really wanted us to invest in the characters and their stories and be more entertained by their interactions than the actual fucking game.
RDR was the best sandbox Rockstar ever made, dont get it twisted.

That describes IV better than V.
IV was all story and no gameplay, which is why it was so shit.
>>332267508
The top, left, and bottom of the map in Watch Dogs is land. Even the though it's a coastal town, only one side of the map leads to water.
>>332261272
It's subjective I know but GTA 3 isn't that small to begin with.
>>332267592
Who is the most enjoyable of GTA characters?
I vote Trevor, because he's basically the embodiment of what the average player does throughout the game.
>>332267624
And no Im not being nostalgic. IV was atrocious
>>332267748
is Watch Dogs any good? It's like $10 by now at GameStop and I don't know if I should get it or not
>>332267748
Does Watch Dogs even have air vehicles?
>>332267816It's okay, just rent it.
>>332267816
No it's honestly one of the worst GTA clones. The scanning mechanic is pretty cool but that's about it. Nothing else about the game is remarkable in any shape.
Also, >>332267331 another sandbox game that has maps that aren't islands is MGSV.
>>332263515
>square map
That shit will never not look stupid.
>>332267816
Really average and forgettable.
If you are on PC, just pirate it.
Also, if you have any basic computing knowledge, you will cringe throughout the whole story.
>>332267950
>cites MGSV as a landlocked sandbox
>ignores the fact that there's shitty invisible walls everywhere
I'd rather be eaten by a shark in GTA V than have to put up with bullshit boundaries in MGSV senpai
>>332268036
>invisible walls
It's all blocked by terrain though.
>>332267802
Trevor was a pain in the fucking ass. Half the time when you switch to him he's in the middle of nowhere with no car or in the middle of nowhere with 2 stars. He even changed the music to that shitty garage station once during a mission, which was the point where I realized I hated the character.

Yes, vehicle speed is scaled for all GTA games. In SA the fastest car's max speed was ~130mph (I think, it's been a while), IV's was ~110mph, and V is ~155mph (not counting slomo).
The roads and buildings in renderware gtas were also a bit bigger than they should have been too.
>>332237614
This thread again. Déjà -vu.
>>332252437
>cars limited to 180km/h bikes and planes almost just as slow
>This was true for SA as well
The map in V is bigger though.
>>332256309
I live in LA and I don't fucking like it.
>>332268130
if you flipped San Andreas and cut out Los Santos and the backwoods area to the west of it, you'd have the area in V
That shit's pathetically small compared to how big it is in V
i prefer the smaller map sizes because it feels like a level instead of a city. you learn every street and its burned into your memorry forever.
I still remember gta3 and V streets and places but i barely recall shit from gtav. it was follow the marker the game.
>>332268296
No just put gigantic highways connecting them and a little island between Venturas and San Fierro.
Driving from Los Santos to San Fierro throughout the coast highway was comfy as fuck.
>>332268008
>you will cringe throughout the whole story.
The whole game is cringe one way or the other, with things like Aiden's outfit and the fact that characters slide random swears into their conversation that sound out of place. It even feels out of character when they just say fuck with no reason for it.
And don't forget the random strip club scene because it's a MA sandbox game so it's gotta have a strip club.
>>332263598

forcing the player to spend more time does not increase gameplay

I can't fucking wait for this release. They pandered to the people screaming the loudest about ff13 and it's corridors but they actually have no clue how to do a good overworld map this big. It's gonna be filled with miles of dust and trees. They completely lost track of what a ff game should be. This game will be the dogshit of the century and idiots will eat it up like ff 13 hahahaha.

How do you think the designers who were tasked with creating the airport feel knowing that their work was ignored by everyone who played the game because it's an empty, pointless, and boring area in any game?
>>332269965
I don't know, probably just like how your mom feels when she looks at you.

Nah developers still make money and pay rent. Anon probably wasn't profitable or helped pay rent. If anything he was a hindrance.

It was full of chaos and rulebreaking, but at least it didn't make you write essays or fill in applications to make a new character.
>>332251462
No landmasses to unlock. Every GTA up to 5 had more land to unlock. Even if it was the same as before it still felt like an accomplishment when you did unlock it.
>>332261508
that's why it's called Los Santos, dildo.
