how was gta 4 seen before gta 5 came out?
Dog shit, just like it was viewed after by anyone with a brain and who wasn't eight years old when it released.
>>730667768>who wasn't eight years old when it releasedthey're turning 26 this year anon
>>730667695I only ever played the online, which was objectively better than 5.
>>730667695It lacked the personality of San Andreas, but people still found fun with it. Nico! Let’s go bowling!
>>730668481Yes, and it shows from the uptick in retards sucking off this shit game and pretending it had "sovl"
>>730667695Mostly terrible performance.
>>730667695broody and less funboat controls but amazing car deformation and ability to fly through the windshield in a crashpotato faces (but i unironically never noticed)
>>730667695no one like this games, everyone laugh at it and go back to san andreas
>>730667695There's a reason why Saint's Row exploded in popularity and went from "GTA clone" to "GTA but fun"
>>730669135i will always remember talking to a saints row player in party chat being informed that you can infact use the rocket launcher and sniper rifle from helicopter passenger seats and being mildly jealous because that sounded so fun
>>730667695Everyone hated it. Don't let 4chin contrarian revisionism fool you into believing anything else. Literally everyone considered it a downgrade to San Andreas.
>>730668741didnt most people play it on consoles anyways
>>730667695Nobody talked about it. This game was too story heavy for your average consoletard (still is, even more so), and with nothing to do in the game people just never discussed it expect multiplayer, that was a thing for some time.People started to appreciate it more and more over the years and only literally retarded people never saw its true greatness.
>>730667695/v/ hated it because it wasn't San Andreas.
>>730669730>/v/ hated it because it wasn't goodYeah, that tends to happen.
big american tiddies memes and not much else.Saints Row 2 was considered the true San Andreas successor for a good while.
>>730667695This is the only GTA that I quit half way throughI even played GTA5 for like 100 hoursthe setting didn't have the atmosphere of GTA3 and the characters were so fucking insanely annoying to listen to I uninstalled around the abandoned hospital mission
>>730667695Unc here.On one hand, it felt undoubtedly next-gen, a living-breathing city, Euphoria, the car deformation etc. Niko was also pretty well liked, the story was more polarizing.In some ways a sequel to GTA3. If you grew up with San Andreas (and a lot of people did), it was like 1 step forward, 1 step back. A bunch of mechanics were missing, smaller map, lack of crazy missions.Reviewers usually gave a "weak 10/10", players either agreed with that or thought that it was disappointing compared to SA.
