This morning, I revisited GTA IV for the first time in a while, and just now I was watching a YouTube doc on Giuliani era NYC and they nailed the vibe and overall feel.It captures the best point of the 2000's - right before smartphones & the big-tech globohomo paradigm shift. People were still the products of their families, for better or worse, and it gave them authentic character traits instead of programmed opinions. People still cherished their collections of books, cassettes, cartridges and discs - before mass digitization made them obsolete and even more attached to smart phones. Social media was in its infancy and a seemingly harmless way to express yourself. Cultures were staying in their own lane, respectfully - emo kids hated niggers and niggers hated faggots, and it was okay. Even the most "socially awkward" people were still being socialized, people were still fucking, people were fighting with their fists.Anyways, the best thing you can do in GTA IV today is drive around like an NPC with perfect weather on and listen to 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins. It's not about the open world destruction anymore, it's about finding solace in a time capsule of a better world.
>>545990216Pretty much
This, but Elden Ring
>>545990216money still exists.therefore, you are still in the old world, op.
>>545990216>Smashing Pumpkinsgross.
>>545990216>Even the most "socially awkward" people were still being socialized,gonna have to stop you there, i was a running joke with a lot of my high school classmates and i highly doubt theyve changed their opinions if they even remember who i was. online social spaces were also a lot more niche back then and if you wanted to chillax with other retards you needed AIM buddies.

It was all right, but it really didn't add anything substantive mechanically to the PS2 games (and actually stripped down some elements from San Andreas). That's really Rockstar's big problem, the games are at their core the exact same shit as they were releasing 20 years ago, just with layers and layers of literally-who-gives-a-fuck graphical detail on top. Except they aren't novel anymore, sandbox games like that are pretty played out, so what's the point? "Wow, there's dynamic clouds now, amazing," but it's still the exact same uninspired missions as in GTA3.
>>545990586>listening to fag band>calls others fagpottery.
>>545990744they showed some promise with a couple V missions, breaking into Humane Labs and the Paleto Bay heist was good. but they spread the story too thin with the 3 character gimmick.
>>545990744>It was all right, but it really didn't add anything substantive mechanically to the PS2 gamespeople really are going to be contrarian just for the sake of being contrarian huh
>>545990901Last good GTA was San Andreas
>>545990942>old thing good because I wasn't old when it releasedIf it released today you'd call it zogslop.
>>545990744>he doesn't like to drive cars in games with reckless abandoni don't know what your issue is, but you need serious therapy.
>>545990216>Even the most "socially awkward" people were still being socialized, people were still fucking, people were fighting with their fists.Not me you lying faggot.
>>545990871>"i play games for story!">>>/lgbt/and don't fucking come back.
>>545991007Nah, I think GTA IV and GTA V were shit, but RDR II was fire
>>545990815Its boring and sterile. The driving and car physics are the only redeeming quality
>>545990815Yeah GTA 4 was one of the few games where I really felt, "damn, this is it, this is the future".
>old Jewish propaganda is better than new Jewish propaganda
>>545990216>People still cherished their collections of books, cassettes, cartridges and discs Lol you think those things make you a unique individual. Just driving around randomly like an npc can be done in many video games.
>>545991074the story clearly affected the gameplay, it was too ambitious. trying to make 3 individuals all feel like the main character is something that can only happen in a book. after all the exposition was done you were 40 hours into the game.
>>545991074>>"i play games for story!">>>>/lgbt/holy adhd tiktok brain
>>545990744This>>545990815>>545990871>>545990922There was no development in the gameplay, just bigger maps and better graphics. If you want to spend some time playing GTA, nothing past San Andreas is better in anything other than graphics or more advanced physics, but so long as the physics are semi relatable to real life - cars skid on corners, you die if you drop from a height, there is acceleration in gravity - who gives a fuck.If you want real world physics and the best graphics you will see, go outdoors.
Indeed, but did they fix the performance cripple of the PC version? Holy fuck was it terrible, and relied on GFWL instead of dedicated.
>>545991560Freeroam MP was way better than V. Weapons everywhere, everyone happy to pick you up in a heli, and no gay grinding like it's your day job.
>>545990216>it gave them authentic character traits instead of programmed opinions.Really, there weren't vain retard characters in there? These people did not exist then? You don't see you worked for a gay jew in this game? And the DLCs where in one you are a spic with a faggot boss? What a retard. >Social media was in its infancy and a seemingly harmless way to express yourself.Ohh do I spoil TBOGT for (You)?EFLC is good vidya close 4cuck and play it. Fucking 1pbtID fucking leaf, high chance to be brown.>people were fighting with their fists.I'm pretty sure there's more of that than ever it ain't happening in the same contexts though I guess, you know with all the niggers and jeets that have come into the 'global west' lately.
>>545991386I don't follow any rockstar's games stories. They are sandboxes first and foremost.
>>545991531I only liked the Grove street part of the game, I reached far enough to do the air plane missions, not the training one's, for that government agent, but I got bored with trying to evade planes so I stopped there. Nothing past grove street was enjoyable for me. Most of the radio songs were shit, some were very goodVice city is better and has better music.
>>545991071I am entering my mid 30s, would probably be an incel if I was born 10 years later. I think it's just been totally lost to history now but back then, you would get laid if you had a friend group, because women were running through friend groups with a bomb strapped to their chest, blowing them up by fucking all the guys and turning them against each other. I don't know if that's even a thing anymore as women seem to despise the concept of fucking a friend and not a Chad that spawns in through Tinder. But it was a problem back in the day.
>bad driving>bad shootingbut you can pick up a whore npc wowfaggot series for faggots
>>545991946Who the fuck ever cares about rockstar games' plot?
>>545990216IV is the same soulless slop as V and the last gta worth playing was San andreas
I play SA:MP and it's on Linux.
>>545992050>Memeflag has an objectively incorrect faggot opinionI'm shocked
>>545990922>contrarianIs that actually contrary to the typical take on GTA4?
>>545992050San Andreas almost falls apart completely when they leave Los Santos. James Woods single handedly saved the game, without him the second half is meme garbage. Running around for blind gooks and flying RC planes.
>>545991809Yeah while I played through the whole thing back in the day it did reall fell off when it left the gangster shit behind.
>>545993476>2008>Before the mass shitskin invasionYou were a toddler, weren't you? >I miss the old shit times because they were marginally less shitty than the present hell Stop. And also stop seeing yourselves as victims.
>>545993938Don't think I will. I'm from western Europe, thank god not the dysgenic pit of human shite that is your country. Irredeemable volcanoes of shite like you make it impossible to have a conversation in this dump. You're worse than the bots.
>>545993818In Canada, 2008 was literally pre mass Indian immigration. You would go to a Tim Horton's and the staff was mostly Filipinos. You can call them shitskins too but for whatever reason, their presence didn't totally fuck the country up like the infinite jeets Trudeau let into the country. So for me, literally yes 2008 was pre mass shitskin invasion.
>>545994174>Flips already there>Pre shitskin invasion Come on.
>>545994258You do just that after having taken your meds, schizoid imbecile. Fuck outta here germ pig.
>>545994310You won't bring shit back, moron. It's not possible.
>>545990744Older 3d gta games at least were a satire of numerous cultural aspect of the specific time they happened in, and gta5 single played mode was the last time ever such a thing could possibly happens. I dont even want to imagine how cringy, higher-than-thou and tone deaf gta6 is going to be, like I refuse to believe the same team who shat out the online content can amount to anything that isnt absolute shit.
>>545994642I'm the one telling you that. >>545994561It is not the same team. All mutt women and troons. Look it up.
>>545994972I'm the one telling you that.
>>545990216>Even the most "socially awkward" people were still being socialized, people were still fucking, people were fighting with their fists.This is such boomer-tier bullshit. I bet you're one of those guys who says "men aren't men anymore", and think you're a real man because you sit there with your pot belly and guzzle down beer as you watch watch Sons of Anarchy or Yellowstone or some shit.Getting into fistfights still happens in every city on Saturday nights all across the world and there's nothing good that comes out of it. Trashy people still hookup and do trashy shit. Nothing has actually changed. If you're a young dude reading OP's post, do not think you need to go out to a bar to fight some retard or fuck a whore to live a full life. It's all illusory bullshit created by boomers who watched too much tv and who lie about or embellish their youth to pad their egos.Retarded faggot. I liked GTA 4 but it was filled with gay propaganda.
>>545990216>GTA IV was the final media of the Old WorldSo very true, did ya'll folks know, GTA 4 was made by the Tartarians? Lost technology, literally magic.
>>545990216The best thing you can do in GTA IV is launch cars into space with the glitchy swingset
>>545995171Yes, I agree on that.
>>545994482We can certainly use AI tools now and in the future to fix woke games.
>>545990744Checked. San Andreas was ahead of its time anon and is one of the best selling video games of all time. The reason 6 has taken so long is because it was chock full of dei globohomo non sense, you can still see it. Don’t be surprised if it’s a commercial hit but is actually complete garbage.
>>545995284I'm the one telling you that, and take your meds, moron. Why did you get your menstruated pussy all reddened anyway? Your t levels dropped under the carpet again? You sound hysterical.
>>545990216trvke
>>545991836Well I'm in my mid thirties too and didn't fuck any of my female friends, sadly. Only reason I'm not a virgin is because prostitutes exist.
>>545995632You do that, swine.
>>545996027Now, I'm the one telling you that. We can play as long as you want, cretin. Where did the shitskin man touch you?
>>545996027Why are you answering to a memeflag, as if that faggot had any intent to discuss anything and not being an obnoxious prick?
>>545996245Mate, you're shitting up the whole threads with your own imbecilic delusions. You're the shitskin here. Get a grip and fuck off before the jannies come discipline your stinking, shit-curd crusted ass. Complete mental sperglord.
>>545996217Head out of asshole, please. Naturally that's hard for a videogay playing pansy, but do at least try, faggot>>545996295No, you're just having a neurotic meltie. Wranglers are coming btw
tried to replay recently but i am completely burned out on vidya and in my "this shit is such a waste of time" stage in life
>>545996397You're mental, mate. You need to get your shit together.
>>545990216The entire McReary family deserved to die for allowing their cute trad sister to date Niko.
>>545996603Breathe, schizo. In and out. Now think: were did you leave your medication?
>>545990586Have you heard the singer's voice? lmao
>>545996787Lmfao you keep repeating that same mantra after blowing up over what only God knows (certainly not you. You're nuts). I'm not trying to mock you, you have mental issues.
>>545990216True post, but I'm always listening to fusionfm
>>545996950Absolutely you do.
No it wasn't. The old world ended on 9/11. If you want to be a real smart ass it ended in '89 when the wall fell. You like GTA 4 because you were 13 when it came out.Globohomo was already in full force when the planes when Y2K happened. You were just too young to notice, and GTA 4 doesn't harp on it much. It was easier to avoid, but still present in all places. It just wasn't as loud. The difference is volume. Now it's at 11 at all times, and the only way to avoid it is to turn off your phone.
>>545997045If we were to put a date, it would be the French revolution. That was the first great victory of the judeomasonic elements.
>>545990216GTA IV was shat upon being the worst game in the series when it released. Now it's considered the best, for good reason.Of course, GTA VI will be a massive disappointment, and will fail to live up to the hights of this game (and its DLC), and nowhere close to San Andreas and Vice City Stories, the two best 3D era titles.
>>545990216I really and truly hope GTA 6 will bomb.GTA 5 was already a spruced up perversion of the greatest franchise. GTA Online was just a big fuck you to modders and players that kept GTA 4 alive.GTA 4 was peak on so many levels. It's still a good game today. I wonder if GTA 6 will be able to compete.
>>545997199I think that's the first time anyone took lies like equality or freedom seriously. It still took centuries to build on that, but still.
>>545990216>GTA IVFuck off timmy, GTA SA was peak, whiteys ruined the world us Blacks built, whitey is a plague
>>545990216WTF are you talking about? You had to defend the pride of homosexuals in that game and actively bash or kill NPCs who dare call homosexuals names.
The world you grew up in no longer exists
>>545998239desu Bully is much more of an accurate time capsule than GTA:SA and GTA:IV
Look at you fags, grown men "playing".
>>545990216I sort of agree, until then we'd regularly get good games, GTA V is quite a downgrade from IV, sure it has better graphics and a few improvements but overall it's a worse game than IV, i probably wont play VI but curious to see if its an improvement in any way other than graphics
>>545997045This anon knows what’s up. There’s a reason they do the never forget 9/11 shit constantly It was a made for TV event done by the globohomo jews to initiate the destruction of the American people and nation. At least it’s close to being over now.
>>545997815>I really and truly hope GTA 6 will bomb.Fags who say or think this are so naive. The other anon has already said it, but let me expand on it. It will be a commercial success because retards press autobuy, yes, and the consequences will be dire. Gaymers now are celebrating small wins like the queers of war studio closing (or w/e). Unfortunately heres what will happen: GTA 6's success will fuel the next 6-12 years of girlboss wokeslop in games and media. They will say 'see! It works!' niy knowing that its just the dead cat bounce of retards autobuying something they think will be good. It's going to be a massive disappointment, but it's still going to pave the way for 10 more years of woke media.
>>545998255Did you pay attention during the cutscenes? He drops his fake fag accent when confronted about the war. They treat his homosexuality as mental illness. Niko coped with a revenge fantasy, Darko coped with drug addiction, and Florian coped by becoming Bernie Crane. Roman and Niko make fun of him behind his back, and Niko can't hang out with Bernie, even though he fits all the criteria to be someone Niko should be able to call up and go bowling with. Dan Houser was able to write nuanced fag characters like Bernie and Gay Tony because it was still the Old World.>>545998388Really? I could never figure out what decade that game was set in. Greasers, all the cars had that late 80s/early 90s box shape to them. Really fun though.
>>545998665I know you're right but there is still some hope. Maybe it's buggy and cringe.It might even be very good, but the best i can do is buy it in a year through steam when it's on sale. Gabe deserves to earn his share from this game.
>>545998673You can not escape the fact that the game preached defense of homosexual pride. That's in your face, leaf.
