>leaks got me to replay gta 5 >it's boring as fuckWhat are some gta clones worth playing?
>>746079251The mercenaries games on PS2 were a lot of fun. A literal blast. So good it gets cover art within cover art. Cover artception.
>>746079370does that have an recompile yet?
>>746079590haven't seen it pop up but it's probably relatively high priority

>>746079251you posted itthat and 2its pc port was fixed by a modder
to add to the Mercenaries talk, it has a really cool looking mod that restores, fixes, and unlocks more contenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQHWcW7RzKo
>>746080452THIS.
Scarface: The world is yours
>>746079251Sleeping Dogs kind of.Generally speaking none of the GTA clones really hold up unless you grew up playing them.
>>746079251pic not related, 3 is good and 4 is icing on top of the cake, dont play gat out of hell or you'll realize they were milking the franchise at that point and the reboot actually KILLED the franchise
>>746081876Came here to post this. The option to play music all the time is fantastic.
>>746079251saints row 2 is legit the only saints row worth a shit, and even then having to do some of the wackier side content for respect to play the main missions could be a bit annoying.
>>746080452based
>>746079590>source code (or dev build i forget which) leaked while back>nothing has been done with it yet
>>746079251Why don't you have a pork bun in your hand? A man who never eats pork buns is never a whole man
>>746079590>>746080070>>746083536There's a partially playable PC port, it's mostly working but still missing some content from what I read you can download it on iamashaymin's patreon, it's free but it requires an account to download afaik
>>746083687i bet this game will be on pc through the backward compatibility program before the decomp port is finished
>>746079370What's the best way to play 2 these days? The PC version is barely functional and difficult to even obtain these days and the 360 version isn't playable on XSX.
>>746083681>driving feels great>radio track selection is kino>barely have any reason to drive beyond getting between missions>one (1) shitty racing side activity with retarded ai
>>746083857>give the game a mechanic where cars instantly explode if you shoot them after john woo jumping out of your own car>there's no practical use for it in the game whatsoever
>>746080258"""Fixed""" in the loosest terms, the games are still jank messes
>>746080452FUCK THE KOREAN FINAL BOSS IN THIS ALL MY CHIGGAS HATE THE KOREAN NIGGER
>>746083681this game is like a 6.5/10 but so many contrarians here make it out to be a 10/10. Story in the game is kind of retarded and the gameplay is decent but nothing amazing.
>>746080258>>746083915>fixedI've played the fixed pc version and the original on ps3 and can confirm the jank is baked, that's just how it's meant to be
>>746081983you know what fucking gets me? the saints row reboot would have been perfectly serviceable as a saints row game, if they didnt go with the millenicringe cast. (im gonna ignore the HUGE amount of technical issues at launch, some of which arent fixed even now).the cast and the “fuck u chuds!” marketing is actually what killed it. they would have literally been better off with ‘boring’ im-a-street-nigga-fuck-you cast of main characters and maybe it wouldnt have killed the studio.
>>746080452oh diggedy damn i gotta go
>>746084136>millenicringe castThe original games are "millenicringe". SR2022 is pure zoomershit.
>>746084189lets not get into this. you know damn well what i mean. the cast of sr2022 is very much like dogshit stereotypes out of a marvel movie.
>>746084082That's not what "contrarian" means. You not liking it makes you the contrarian, dummy.
>>746081978B A S E DASED
how come there’s no indie clones of GTA? you have the AA and AAA “clones” in this thread (and there are more like just cause and such) but many of these series are dormant or fucking dead, and arent purelt “crime sandbox” and instead have their own twist on it (you’re a detective, undercover cop, a spy, not just “a dude”).why hasnt some small group of guys tried to clone the early 3D GTAs? the 2D ones? even just making the freeroam is super difficult im sure but there are indie games that have done more complex stuff
>>746084470There are a couple of games that ape the top down GTAs like Retro City Rampage.
>>746084506oh yeah! i forgot about that. i got GTA III on the brain

>>746079251Saints Row killed Volition, didn't it?They wanted to continue the Ultor Corporation storyline after SR2, so they made Red Faction Guerilla, but then it wasn't as popular, so SR3 became a thing, and you know the rest...
>>746084584>memeshit
>>746084951>saints row 1&2: absolute early y2k KINO>saints row 3 and beyond: DUUUUURRRRRR DEEEUUUGGHHHHH DURR HURF DURF
>>746083687sounds like it's higher up the list than I thought. almost done.
>>746083857>barely have any reason to drive beyond getting between missionsThat might be craziest thing I've ever heard. It's an open world sandbox, the reason to drive is because you want to, becasue it's fun. I swear some of you guys have zero intrinsic motivation.
>>746087102>open world sandbox>it's just a highway loop with some 3 block "cities" scattered around the edges
>>746079251Sleeping Dogs is better than gta5 and most likely gta6. actual fun gameplay and fun story
>>746079590does sr1 have a recomp?
>>746085139Saints Row 4 is a great superhero game but a bad Saints Row game.
>>746087314It'll be added to the PC backwards compatibility thing eventually.
>>746084951>killedMore like got murdered by Embracer
>>746087186>city map is... le city map?>where my epic empty desert to drive around in?weird thing to say but ok
>>746083681I quit playing this because I got annoyed with that fucking stupid screw removing "minigame," if you can call that. The game felt like it was just wasting my time on purpose with shit like that.
>>746083681Same they never took this game, gave it some decent gunplay and driving, and make a licensed Cowboy Bebop game
>>746080452Is Streets of New York good? I haven't played either of them but I don't really care for LA as a setting.
>>746081946Funnily enough I feel the exact opposite. Now obviously GTA IV and TBoGT are the peak of the genre and it's clear at this point they will never be topped. But putting aside IV, I'd rather play any of the other great games in the genre over the remaining GTA titles since they all offer something uniqueSleeping Dogs with its exotic setting, the extremely satisfying melee combat, the very limited gun carry capacity, the fun over-the-top arcade driving (that is actually done well unlike in GTA5) and the cool mid air hijack mechanic. You have Mafia 2 with its historical setting, great characters and atmosphere, the amazing simulation driving physics and car damage, and other immersive aspects like having to refuel. And then Saints Row 2 with the character customization, the more free form missions, the amount of side activities, mechanics like the garage system saving your customized cars permanently, letting you actually have fun driving them around unlike in SA or GTAV. Hell, even SR3, despite being a downgrade in many aspects, has pretty fun gunplay and a great wanted system that makes it really fun to cause chaos in the sandbox. San Andreas and GTAV really don't have anything to offer that I can't get better in SR2 or 3I might replay one of the PS2 GTA's like 3 once in a blue moon... but only for nostalgia reasons, because they have not aged well gameplay wise. And as for GTA5... well it was shit from the moment it released lol

>>746088508I should have mentioned that I feel the same way about most GTA games
>>746087338There's actually a reason for that. Originally, IV was just supposed to be a non-canon DLC for 3 called Enter the Dominatrix but Volition's publisher, THQ, was going through financial troubles at the time and rebranded the game into a numbered sequel so they could sell the game at full price.
>>746087338>a great superhero gameCan't have that either these days.
>>746079251Crackdown
>>746083536I have that. Been thinking about asking an AI to port it to OpenGL
>>746080452>>746088396Did you know they originally were going to have the main character go to NY? Instead, Activision forced them to change half way through development and make the main character an African American after play tests and to better fit NYC. That being said, these games were extremely innovative for their time, fun as hell to play. Walken was good in both
>>7460913171 and 2 are free on the Xbox store btw. Hopefully they add them to the PC BC list some day.
>>746081806baste
>>746087215>fun storythe story is alright at the beginning but gets sillier the more the game goes on as they need to find new ways to justify more shooting galleries and car chases. The main story feels longer than it needs to be and the mission types start to feel very repetitive. I wish the game was shorter and they instead spent more time fleshing out the mostly boring open world.
