Did people back in 2008 look at this face and go "holy shit he looks amazing"?

No.?

>>728799692
No, why would you ask such a stupid question? He's an average slav.
>>
>>728799692
no, you stupid fucking retard
>>
>>728799692
No. We laughed a lot when Roman writes his ad for the dating site and when he gets drunk and shouts YELLOW CAR.
>>
>>728799692
He is a very handsome man

GTA 4 aged like shit to the point even IGN was calling it muddy and ugly by the time its expansions got released

What? 2008 wasn’t that long ago, you should remember, how fucking old are you?
>>
>>728799974
Everything is brown and blue and blurry and Niko moves like a 400 pound woman with cum in her eyes. Gta4 in general was a disaster. The game didn't even have parachutes or any type of entertaining weapons or vehicles
>>
>>728801754
even the soccer mom suvs are entertaining
sounds like you haven't played the game
>>
>>728799692
Man, I used to think threads like this were just bait until I talked to zoomers at work that think games like AC: Black Flag are "ridiculously old" at this point and everything older than 2010 looks graphically disgusting to them
>>
I didn't like 4 compared to 3, vice city or san andreas. Truly the end of an era for me, not a fan of the direction rockstar went with more "realism"

>gta 4 was 28 years ago
>>
>>728799692
Nope. GTA 4 was never a good looking game. It used a lot of resources and shadows out a lot of stress on gpu in particular while not making the picture any better. Water in 4 is extremely poor made and looks like shit too.
I still don't know what rockstar was trying to do with the games looks. Was it intentional to make the world look all sad, gray-metal depressed? Or was it just new tech and pressure to release the game asap?
From tech standpoint the game is alright. City is detailed, models are clear step up from sa, cars look and behave well. At the same time, nothing looks good. Just nothing at all. SaA and VC had prettier moments at times than 4.

>>728799692
None of the GTA games have been remarkable in the graphics department.

>>
>>728799692
Yeah I did
>>
>>728803286
Well it is muddy and ugly. Doesn't mean it's not the best video game of all time. Notice people say it's bad but they never post a superior game. Because there isn't one.
>>
>>728799692
Graphics didn't matter as much back then. Remember that in 2008 you were seeing games release on PSP, DS, PS2, PS3, 360, Wii, PC, and J2ME mobile devices. And some games even released on every single one of those platforms simultaneously.
Doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to complain about the graphics in an otherwise immensely technically impressive open world game when some of the other highest profile releases of the year were DS and PS2 games.
>>
>>728799692
No. People made fun of it for the serious tone and phone calls asking you to go bowling.
>>
>>728803286

But the satire and aesthetic was so on the spot that it feels like a period piece made in 2025 about the late 00s.

>>728799692
it was good for the era when the highest graphics benchmark was crysis and every moron on the internet got their kicks from comparing all new releases to it. the PC port is WAY worse than what we former consolefags got thoughever and i do remember they did some post processing magic with the last expansion that somehow made it look better

maybe the graphics could have been better but the aim was a game of this scale with little loading screens and that amount of detail on that gen of consoles. i think rockstar delivered

I think gamers and game devs back in the day valued gameplay over graphics.
>>
>>728799692
The game was unplayable when it came out, because it required "games for windows live". There was trouble launching it, and your savegames would get deleted.

They actually had to refund the game to avoid being sued. This is what GTA4 was forever associated with in peoples minds.

Personally, I was extremely disappointed by GTA4. It had far less soul than previous titles. The story was retarded, too. I hated the predictable Vlad and Dmitry part.

GTA5 was even worse, but to my mind GTA4 was also shit.

Bros. Serious question. What happened to video game physics engines? Am I the only one that notices they are all complete crap today?
>>
>>728808575
I don't think they have gotten worse it's just that devs want to make everything more "realistic" so they make them less exaggerated and therefore way less fun.

The driving is pretty entertaining once you learn that pretty much every turn is a handbrake turn. The pants-on-head retarded traffic AI is a much bigger issue that I think no one talks about.

Were they born after YouTube? because I still believe seventh gen games look alright. It is incredible how such a small age gap can create vastly different type of zoomers.

Roman's a coward. He'll eat whatever scraps are thrown at him by anyone with a spine. He's never going to drop the only woman who's ever shown him any attention no matter how many sweaty dicks she rides. You just know their marriage is a long and miserable one with her nagging at his useless ass all day every day while he wallows in regrets for his youth.

He'd also happily go back to working with the same guy who burned down the house and business he'd spent years working towards if it were up to him.

It's not what she look like in the game, anon...
>>
>>728809473
That's been made so apparent over the past decade. Anytime people talk about GTA V, they either talk about the meme it spawned or GTA Online. Whenever someone talks about GTA IV, it's about the gameplay or the story.

>>728815018
She cute.
>>
>>728799692
faces maybe little bit less but for the overall graphics was "holy shit amazing" in 2008.
