>still compared to V>"will VI be as good as pic rel?"
What made it so good is everyone played it as a child or teenager and most people have a big case of the old good new bad.
>>719868313retard
>>719868259a shitton of gameplay features, a map full of SOVL and peak soundtrack.
>>719868259what made gta4 so shit you mean?
>>719868313Kys
>>719868259it's not that good
>>719868418dude, you should look into some of the cut features of this game. think of the time it was released, the actual dev time they had to make it, and the planned features that were cut and you'll realize just how much bigger it was going to be. an example is there is leftover code that was supposed to be the first version of GTA V's three man protagonist system
Bully is still the best R* game
>>719868552do you think they'll make a sequel?
>>719868598No and at this point it's for the best
>>719868259A lot more side activities and memorable characters with one liners.
>>719868536every game has cuts but what we got in the end was already pushing PS2 to its limits. it's actually amazing how much they've managed to cram in a single dvd and 32mb of ram.
gta VI will probably be V tier. fun, but not soul
>>719868313What do you think is bad about the game, comparing it to GTA V?
>>719868768hipster.
>>719868313fpbp
>>719868453why did gta 4 suck?
>>719868259Why did they cut the vigilante/ambulance/fire truck missions? Also V had the worst wanted system ever with the FBI and army missing.
>>719869052because it was worse than gta sa
>>719869052Because the fact that it's looked at fondly by 360/PS3 zoomers like it's the second coming of Jesus should tell you everything you need to know. It's a step back in everything but because it has ragdolls and "le gritty story" people cream themselves over it.
>>719869065>Why did they cut the vigilante/ambulance/fire truck missions?why didnt you say this about 4 instead of wanking it 10/10?
>>719868920I did not say it's bad. I said the reason everyone has such fond memories of it is that we played it as kids.
>>719869338I played it recently and had a lot of fun with it (am almost 30)
>>719868313first post bait post
>>719868259The soundtrack. It and VC stood the test of time unlike IV and V which used contemporary music.
it didn't take itself overly seriously. like the game lets you raid area 51 and completely plays it straight.
>>719869065Because they sucked and only the most acoustic gamers bothered with them
>>719869653t. got filtered
>>719868259I hated how enemy gangs blend into the background in future GTA titles.Took me a while to realize some of the fat NPCs are gang members in GTA4.
Gorillas in the mist.
Am I the only one who thinks GTA SA is just a good game? Its overrated, I liked 4 better (because of technology)
>>719869965you are the worst person i have ever met
>>719869998worse than hitler?
>>719869965you are probably the only person that thinks both of those things in tandem yes
>>719870054ESPECIALLY Lisa!
>>719870303:O
>>719869236reducing the physics engine in gta4 to "having le ragdoll" just to take a stab at it is pathetic
>>719870465okay it also had no side missions or flying or swimming, a worse radio, less cars, no customization, unskippable dialogue and driving scenes, no garage, only one kind of collectable, no teritory wars, no rpg elements, massive loadtimes, terrible graphics a bad storyline, unskippable and bad relationships, crap clothe s stores....
>>719870650not being able to fly planes felt like a huge downgrade in terms of just getting to the point where you feel like you're on top of the world. the map was also smaller, and somehow filled with less in it.
>>719870832but uhhh... the technology!!!Yeah IVfags need to just drink cyanide.
>>719870465The game also has no soul unironically, same with V. there was something special about wandering around the forest at night back in the day, you truly thought there was something there. Same with if UFOs were real. The game felt like its own little mystical universe at some point in the mid/late 2000s.
>>719869965Both have a really good story and the gameplay is better in 4 but Liberty City sucks and the environment is just soulless. The NPCs/Peds are a great example. In SA they're all handmade and memorable meanwhile in 4 they're all procedurally generated.
HOLD THE LINE
>>719868358>stoner who still thinks he's a teenager
>>719870650>no side missionsdon't you have to only do certain peoples missions to advance the story? wouldn't the other missions be side missions? even so theres assassin missions and that car fetching stuff and vigilante stuff also>flyingwell the map i very compact so adding planes wouldnt have made much sense i guess, you can fly helicopters though>swimmingyou can swim, you just cant dive and explore. but what are we missing out on? isn't the underwater pretty much barren in SA anyway>worse radioless memorable for sure>no teritory warsbest part of SA, they should be in every game of this kind for surethe rest is just irrelevant gay nitpickingi still like gta4 for the physics and sheer interactivity in the world
REPOSTAN
is there any other game thats low poly like the early 3d gta games where you can just walk around and explore big areas and taken in the ambience? the only other game i can think of is shenmue and mizzurna falls
>>719869729Give me crime missions you faggot
>>719871585>sheer interactivity in the world>no car modding>no ability to use cranes>no ability to use bicycles>no diving>no working out>no basketball, pool, gambling, etc>no parachuting>no tow truck>no monster truck>no stadium events>no subway/train to stealprobably a hundred other things im forgetting god that game pisses me off
>>719871585>swimmingSA had an entire collectible dedicated to being exclusively underwater exploration, plus that one mission
>>719872025Swimming was only added because players bitched about not being able to in 3 and VC. See first blue text in >>719871864
~fin~
>>719868313But those same people played 3 and VC a few years before and SA still was considered the best back then.Retard.
it hit major on their main audience: niggers and spics
>>719868259>play 3>100% it because I loved it>play VC>100% it because I loved it>play SA>quit after getting a bike at the beginning>play 4>quit because my cousin wouldn't shut the fuck up while I was trying to flip through the radio>play 5>quit because every station is rap except one which is country (and rap)
>>719871935>every copy is personalised
>>719872007to add on:>no jetpack>no burglary >no swim races/triathlons>no other city>no property to buy for saving or money>no rural areas >no arcade games to play in universe>no recruiting people to do stupid shit with you
>>719868259No DEI
>>719872710The game was literally woke dei goyslop.
>>719872025yeah i really miss swimming around an empty ocean looking for clam shells in my gta game, said no one, ever.>>719872007as in physics and how the world interacts with you and vice versa which is non existent in san andreas. all you do is fly your planes over barren landscapes with nothing in them. san andreas in a nutshell, same with the swimming, wide as an ocean deep as a puddle.besides car modding i don't care about anything you listed. if i did, i'd play san andreas and not IValso you can play pool
>>719872675>no vending machines>like 20 less weapons>no night vision/thermal goggles>no camera>no gore>no military
>>719872902>all you do is fly your planes over barren landscapes with nothing in themlmao as opposed to IV where you're driving a car at the high speeds of 30mph because you can't fly a plane over a boring city with no variety? nd you're correct, I forgot about the pool. It is better in IV.
>>719869965No, I came here to post thisSA is just ok and if I want a clunky GTA I play VCWhile 4 is the best GTA to ever come out
>>719873163>no mountain to drive off of with a towtruck towing 5 other towtrucks:(
I don't know if it's me personally, but I had gta 2, 3, vice city, 4, and 5 as more memorable games than san andreas. It seemed like a bloated game even back when it released. I dunno, I don't ever want another black main character for GTA.
>>719868313I played it as a teenager and later as adult and it's still the best GTA game.
>>719868259first piece of media to nail that dank early 90s hood aesthetic
For me its Vice City Stories
>>719872007you forgot the dancing mini game and the trucking missions and the low rider shows minigame bouncing
>>719873828>t. phil collins
>>719868259Loads to do, great world to explore, good story. GTA 4 had a great story but boring world with nothing to do, 5's story was okay, the city was great to explore but the rest of the map was shit.
>>719871385YOOUNG HEEEAARTS BEE FREE TONIGHT
>>719873828Had it on PSP, very impressive for a handheld, I heard Liberty City Stories was good too but I didn't play it.
>>719873163>no horse racing Back then I got CJ rich without cheats by savescumming the betting house
Games back then were mostly around developing forward, it was an innovation to have the player get fat if eating a lot in a sandbox shooter, it was innovative to have multiple big cities in a single map, it was innovative to modify the car, it was innovative to change every piece of clothing... all these features were new to the genre (not to gaming but to this particular genre). Its rare to have big features nowadays that are new to the genre, they already showed up in some other game and are only now being mixed up with others.
>>719873163there are vending machines and you got camera on your phone. But it doesnt matter, 4 was a reboot where they re-invented every feature. From walking to flying. A more fair comparison would be 3 to 4
>>719874668>it was an innovation to have the player get fat if eating a lot in a sandbox shooterIt would be today too desu
>>719868259Rockstar and the franchise started it taking itself too seriously with IV. III was an over-the-top take on the mob genre. Vice City did the same for the 80s. SA did it again for hood movies. With IV, the devs decided they didn't want to just make homages, they wanted to create something that could stand alongside the media that inspired them. IV was their serious attempt at that. Things changed at Rockstar and V is a little different. V is more of a conscious GaaS concept. It's much less of a statement and more of a blatant product. VI will turn that up to 11, but for the post-2020 social media environment. It's designed for social media content creation and very aware of V's success at monetization. There are going to be people who are baby youtubers and twitch streamers right now who will be millionaires after VI comes out. It's a game designed to do that.
>>719874668I'm not fat, just big boned.
>>719874975I remember being amazed by how lifelike the characters seemed, hilarious seeing it now.
>>719875038Well for me everyone was "wow, just line on TV!" as i'm not a burger and CJ and friends are just like every stereotype I had seen or heard of what being a gangster of that nature is all about.
>>719869052HEY COUSIN LETS GO BOWLING
