God damn this game sucks
I've only played 5 and like half of four. Is it worth it to play 3, vice city, San Andreas, and beat 4?
you had to be there and i feel sorry if you didn't and instead you grew up in the worst era not only for video games but also every other piece of media and culture
God damn that game rules.
>>742295004It's actually a GOOD game
>>742295153how the fuck are we supposed to know if its worth it for you. 5 is the worst game in the series but adheres the most common contemporary game design expectations. Whatever you get out of the other GTAs depends on your capacity to enjoy old design conventions and less advanced graphics.
>>742295236>three posts in and already with the generational war faggotryI’ve been saying dead board for years and you retards keep finding ways to lower the bar.
>>742295004I’m really happy that retarded zoomers (and younger) can’t into gta 3 at all. I’ll continue to consider it a classic while all the trend hopping broccoli heads recite their mantras and people in the future will understand and appreciate it for what it is
>>7422951533, VC, and SA are way too hard and boring to go back to after 4, 5, or either RDR game. The gameplay is too ancient in comparison.
>>742295004It does indeed. Normalcattle fucking love open world garbage, they literally do not care if the gameplay is complete and utter garbage (which it absolutely is in GTA3's case). Just as long as it's totally like real life bro, woah I can drive a car! That's like, so interesting because I'm sub 100 IQ!
>>742295236You had to be there for it to be fucking mind blowing in 01 when it came out and there was nothing even slightly like it and it was edgy.It still holds up today with a great atmosphere and a fun campaign
Yup, OP's been drinking again.
>>742295464>>why yes I DO play anime games. And actually, they’re referred to as VISUAL NOVELS! THEYRE FOR MATURE ADULTS LIKE ME
>>742295643>if you don't like bongjank open world garbage then you like visual novels!Goyim...
>>742295004The older I get the more I prefer it over Vice City and San Andreas.
>>742295695ahemGUS SUCKSend of message
>>742295695>M-MUH JANK!>posts crazy taxi hehe… oooooh boy
>>742295153Yes, please at least try them. If you can play only one of them, play Vice City. Ps2 version or restore the old radio on PC. GTA 6 is heavily influenced by it.The PS2 GTA's are the what people call "soul"
The atmosphere is good, we need more urban decay games. I like that the main character is purely a psychopathBut the gameplay/missions are shit and anyone who says otherwise is a coping boomer
>>742295004It's actually quite good. I love the music and the atmosphere which the remaster ruined
>>742295236I grew up in that era I just had strict parents and no friends with the games
I like how nobody ever brings up the gameplay when talking about how much they love GTA3, it's always>muh atmosphere >muh soul
>>742295701I always have, but I genuinely can't get into VC or San Andreas. VC feels hollow and San Andreas is just bewildering from the start, it's actually too big(she said). Every time, I get on the highway, I'm maybe halfway to San Fiero and just give up. III doesn't waste my time, even when it abuses my patience.
>>742295282Serious question, are you autistic? Do you not know what a request for a recommendation is? Obviously you can't experience my state of mind, everyone knows that, but we utilize language to try to bridge that gap
>>742296147The gameplay is almost identical to vice city and San Andreas tho. either you get the fuck over it and enjoy the game or you don’t
>>742295368What about bully?
>>742296257Yes, anon. Grand Theft Auto is good.
>>742295004GTA 3 was pretty cool. Eh kills triads and doesn't afraid of anything
>>742296312>The gameplay is almost identical to vice city and San Andreaslike fuck. before these games became old enough to get an all encompassing "retro jank" pass it was jarring to go back to 3 from san andreas because of how crude the gameplay was
>>742296312That's not even true. Vice City has a bigger focus on combat missions due to the smaller map, and San Andreas is more focused on engaging with the open world. GTA 3 is all killer no filler, with an even mix of driving and shooting.
>>742296147it's basically the same as VC and SA but more "primitive" (as in has less options)it's decent for it's time, easy to pick up and have fun with, both during gunfights and while drivingwhat else is there to say? basic gameplay didn't evolve that much during the gta 3 trilogy, so in the end which one you prefer is rather a question of which setting you prefer (most of the time)
>>742296429Every third mission in San Andreas is either tedious as fuck or a gimmick no one asked for. No one who says SA is their favorite game is telling the truth. It has too many "that part" moments.
>>742296312>identical to vice city and San Andreas Stupid nigger. VC combat is dated as fuck
I don't even remember the main story or if it was goodwe would play open world and enjoy the sandbox and killing people and running from policetoo bad nu GTA is just a moviegame instead of deepening the sandbox gameplay
>>742296512Again, you're just saying nonsense. GTA 3 tries to mirror the top-down games as best it can while nudging the player into a few new ideas. Vice City and San Andreas are absolutely nothing alike in terms of structure, they have polar opposite design philosophies. Same with the Stories games, but fucking no one has played those enough to make a distinction.
>>742296429San Andreas has superior lock on and mobility options while aiming. That’s it>>742296654Uhh, hey newsflash there retardo, all the early GTA games “dated” by today’s standards
>>742296551The overwhelming majority of time spent in gta is fucking around in the overworld. going from cj who can swim, crouch and properly aim his gun back to the mute wop who stutters around like a mannequin is rough. 3's got lots of soul, atmosphere, aura, thoughts and prayers tho.Driving arguably peaked in SA as well, although vice city's less forgiving turning might be more fun.
>>742296895>cj who can swimthe fucking irony
>>742296895Vice City gets too much hate, so does Vice City Stories. Those games are like the awkward middle child for some reason. Feels like more people dislike VC(S) nowadays than even IV.
>>742296798yeah but I was talking about gameplay, not structure and designso you are right, they are nothing alike in those departmentsthey are all still extremely similar in terms of gameplay, controller in hand
>>742295004It has its moments but you're right for the most part.Only GTA 2 was good.
>>742296318I would say Bully is maybe a different case since it never got a sequel making it a pretty unique game. But it is still pretty dated and may or may not hold up. At least it has way less of a focus on combat and a much more focused map/structure than the GTA games.
>>742295004yup. It was boring back then, it is still boring today.
Guns fire 5x faster than they should have and cars are made out of paper mache. This game is just vice city beta test.
>>742296989yeah and I'm pretty sure the next character who could swim was Vince in VC stories>>742297023VC and VC stories probably has the best feeling of torque and traction loss in the whole series. If they could combine that feeling with 4's advanced mechanics they would have something special. I'm pretty sure 6 is just going to copy paste 5's horrific driving which is a shame.
>>742295004the only thing that sucks is this board
>>742296147the gameplay is what filters people. its harder than the other ps2 gtas
>>742295695This is the same nigger boiling with rage in the /vr/ thread, kek.
>>742296147I'm telling you, normalgoys don't care about gameplay at all. GTA in general is a key example of this. The games play like utter shit, like 99% of bongoloid slop.
>>742295368I think SA still holds up for the sheer variety of stuff you can do, even if driving and gunplay are hella rough compared to IV.
>>742297917I hate Crazy Tranni so much bros
>>742298019GTA4 driving is ass
>>742296312You are correct, don't listen to the spergs who haven't touched the games in years. >played all 3 games and the Stories games on every platform
>>742298060>I hate good playing video games, just give me shitty open world slop ripping off goyfuel moviesWe know.
>>742298161Both of the games are good though, you're just a filtered retard who can't grasp the 3D space of GTA. Literally "goycattle" tier as you call them, but it's too much for your complex mind. Ironic.
>>742298492I've played more than enough games to recognize horrendous gameplay when I see it. Rockstar are just shit developers, goyim love their slop though because it's "edgy" and "realistic" and of course is in an open world, the ultimate goymechanic.
>>742298071nu-huh
>>742298570Enough buzzwords for ya champ?You have no real argument. You're an idiot who can't handle a PS2 game millions managed to finish back in 2001. Most of them being children.
>>742299503I beat this piece of garbage many years ago and was not impressed. It's something that only appeals to tasteless normgroid cattle.
>>742299563>tasteless normgroid cattle
Your enjoyment of GTA3 will depend on what you want from the GTA games. Combat/shooting are pretty ass but the driving and zipping around the city was top tier. I also don’t think there was much for exploration beyond hidden packages so it’s ironically pretty linear for an open world game.
>>742295004It's the best game ever made.
>>742295004we all know what mission filtered OP
>>742302045So much easier to do this mission on pc with a mouse.
>>742295153>worthyes, the older games don't punish you from farting in the wrong direction
>>742302110I 'member taking quite a few attempts to do it on ps2 back in the day, the analog deadzone in the game is no joke.
