A lot of GTA clones strived to improve on many aspects of the GTA formula and presentation, and often succeeded but were swallowed by the GTA hype machine.Just because they are copycats don't mean they aren't fun. Reviewers at that time just expected so much more than the developers could reasonably develop and release. Like Driver 3 was probably the game that people looked most forward to because of the reputation from the two other Driver games but unfortunately for Driver 3 they tried to develop a game that wasn't realistic. But then Driver 4 was pretty good but it kinda went unnoticed because Driver 3 poisoned the well and ostensibly killed the franchise due to unreasonable hype.
>>748969854The Getaway is bad though. One of the first Sony movie games and gameplay takes a huge backseat to "realistic" shit that makes it entirely sluggish and unfun. But then they decide having health packs would be "Stupid" so they have you lean up against a wall to recover health. As if that is somehow makes more sense. Awful game.
>>748969854Forgive me little one, but this the only way how I know to bump.I find it so interesting that these popular video game franchises have all conveniently reached the number 6.>GTA>Far Cry>Elder Scrolls>DOOM>Battlefield>Persona>Halo>Street Fighter>Hitman>MGS>Armored Core>Super Smash Bros>Bloons TD>Serious Sam>Devil May Cry>Forza Horizon>Dead or Alive>Kingdom RushAll announcing the mark of the beast. Revelation 13:17-18 KJVAnd that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Honourable mention:>Resident Evil 9 (upside down 6)>Dying Light The Beast>Final Fantasy 16

>>748971221The beast is you. The beast is me. The beast is all of us that refuse. All of us that refuse to become greater than ourselves. Those of us who refuse new data or new perspectives. Those who refuse to acknowledge they're part of the greater machine. The beast is only confused and scared and wants to protect. To refuse to forgive the impossible is to accept the true mark.
>>748970448It still blows my mind how truly awful the Getaway is despite being so unanimously praised by games journalists. I think it's the very first time I noticed that reviewers will praise a truly terrible game just to get paid.
>>748971128I want deranged schizo vermin to be a bannable offense.

>>748971580The game had pretty good graphics at the time and the voice acting was pretty good. But yeah, it was not a fun game at all. definitely a game being overly praised for all the wrong reasons and shining up a turd to present to a large audience.
hmm
>>748970448it's pretty gud
Oy vey...
>>748970448I actually liked the blood heal mechanic. It was a decent way to show damage without a health bar. They definitely couldve used some health pickups or items though.
>>748971128Elder Scrolls 6 doesnt exist. Neither does MGS 6. Even for a schizo, youre kinda half-assing it.
Truky
>>748975409yeah
>>748969854>destroy all humans>saints row 1 and 2>true crime ny and la kinda sucked but it was funny>mercenaries 1 and 2I miss the smaller "open world" maps like destroy all humans had.
>>748969854I remember liking Driv3r but yeah anything outside of a car was terrible. Sad really, anyone who prefers GTA IV driving would've liked that aspect. Stuntman was weird at first but it grew on me too.
