I only say 4 is a better story then SA because I couldnt relate too much to the gangbanger lifestyle that CJ had. Plus the political stuff in 4 made me love it even more. Its subjective but I didnt care at all about the story for me it was about the fun ass gameplay.
>Black person gangbanger just so happened to meet a glowie who solved 90% of his problem in exchange for committing high treason against the US government
wow, riveting story.
as opposed to slavBlack person gangbanger who just happened to meet a glowie who solved 90% od his problems in exchange for committing high treason against us goverment? lol
>be me >playing GTA IV in 2008 or 2009 (can't remember which) for the first time >doing the first mission where you have to drive from the docks to wherever >drive over a sharp curb and the car goes flying into the air and flips, landing on its roof >almost exactly like it would in real life
these physics existed in 2008 for consoles
games have been regressing for so many years and i'm glad that i haven't been playing vidya regularly since 2015
actually I just really like the characters.
TBOGT is what the game should have been from the start and gta4 and 5 are both inferior to the PS2 / psp games.
the driving in gta4 is fricking terrible most of the time, the bikes were bad too until they updated it during the tlad dlc.
gta5 is just a little less terrible.
Biggest cased of revisionism on Ganker
GTA4 was rightfully shat on on release, in the last few gears we are getting non-stop threads about how great it was because its zoomer's first GTA
correct me if i'm wrong but it was hated by plenty of people because the physics made the game too realistic and slow paced (stumbling while running, falling down when getting shot, etc.) and also because there's less to do compared to previous GTAs
Physics were 50/50 a lot hated them because it was a departure from the more arcadey style of GTA, but a lot of people loved them too. >and also because there's less to do compared to previous GTAs
That was one of the main issues. Also everything looking like shit. The drab and depressing art style of LS is one thing, but everything looked like kt was smeared with shit and oil. Missions were derivative too. Pretty shit story, even flr a GTA game where the story doesnt really matter. And utterly dogshit and annoying main character. The expansions were the only decent part
It wasn't liked because it was too serious, and the friendship system was incredibly fricking annoying, Saints Row 2 capitalized on this with their TV ads.
weakest in the series, people stopped shitting on it cause it's now le old thing and not the new. The physics are too much, makes playing annoying as hell, graphics by far worst in the series and on PC the game is a buggy mess also the disappointing amount of weapons compared to san andreas. GTA V is unironically better in every aspect except the story ( subjective ).
The only good part about gta4 was ballad of gay tony. It's like the devs woke up one day and realized huh, maybe gta should be fun to play. And then they made tbogt.
I grew up with it and I don't like it.
The side games were incidentally the ones with the best story. Couldn't get into III, IV, or V for the main story and had to seek out other means to enjoy them
GTA SA is genuinely fun, I think 90% of the players didnt even experience a quarter of all the content in the game, and I mean fun stuff not collecting shells or some shit. I guess R* figured this and thats why all the other games are much shorter, IV have zero content
Oh theres lots to do in GTA4, it just isnt interesting
Like, damn, you think i give a shit about bowling or darts, why the frick would i play that? In San Andreas you have a huge world with lots of landmarks to explore, thats way more interesting, cuz it involves driving around
Or even the gang control minigame is more fun because it engages with the basic mechanics of driving and shooting better than watching TV or browsing the internet at a cafe
I very much grew up with San Andreas.
As far as the full open-world sandbox experience is considered, SA is still the best.
But as far as the main storyline is considered, IV is the best. It is actually a story with something to say.
I sometimes think it shouldn't have been a GTA title at all, because people expect wacky hijinks and a light-hearted plot.
Maybe it tells a story but it's a fatally boring one. I've tried probably more than 5 times to play through IV so I can add it to the list of GTA's I've completed, and end up dropping it every time.
My first Grand Theft Auto was Vice City, and I still consider IV to be one of the best GTA games I ever played.
On the one hand, I don't like how they wanted to be more realistic by making everything slow as molasses from Niko himself to vehicles, 3D-era arcade-y driving will always be my jam.
But on the other hand, I praise how they improved the gunplay and made it look and feel more impactful.
I was a little baffled at first by the darker and bleaker story, but I ended up really liking it. A shame we lost customization, at least for Niko, but I can do without it.
People here like it because they’re moronic contrarians. Same reason this place hates the new Hitman games and insists Morrowind is STILL the best Elder Scrolls game of all time. You should NEVER listen to Ganker.
wake up
grab the car, a beautiful white ingot
drive halfway through the city to get it washed
call Packie's sister >Sure, I'm not doing anything right now, come pick me up
drive up to her home >Hey there, let's go >I still love this car, it's so fun! >Did I tell you about that time my dad molested my brothers while I watched?
stop at the bar >Pool? Agaain?
shoot some pool, keep playing until I beat her 2 or 3 times
drive her back home >That was fun, but this is goodbye
drive back
park the car
go to sleep
Nuh uhhh
I like it and I grew up with VC and SA
I grew up with VC. I liked 4 because the story was the peak of the series and still is.
san andreas has objectively and unironically a better story than 4
True the characters were memorable and made you care about them. In the case of IV honestly I just completed it once and completly forgot about it
I only say 4 is a better story then SA because I couldnt relate too much to the gangbanger lifestyle that CJ had. Plus the political stuff in 4 made me love it even more. Its subjective but I didnt care at all about the story for me it was about the fun ass gameplay.
>Black person gangbanger just so happened to meet a glowie who solved 90% of his problem in exchange for committing high treason against the US government
wow, riveting story.
He did not say it was riveting, but better than IV. IV was shit. SA did everything it tried to do but better.
>SA story is not riveting
true
>SA story is better than IV
false
the rest is cope.
as opposed to slavBlack person gangbanger who just happened to meet a glowie who solved 90% od his problems in exchange for committing high treason against us goverment? lol
that sounds like a great story what do you mean lol
Same here, i still don't understand why people are mad over others enjoying games.
I played GTA1, 3, Vice City and San Andreas when before IV came out and IV is still my favourite.
It has the greatest physics of all time and V is shit compared to it
No, I don't like it at all.
I played it in March for the first time and thought it was great
I grew up with 1 and 2 though.

God I fricking hate this gay arcade driving in gta 5
Games made on Rock star's engine still use those physics no one else can liscense them
Rage yes,
Euphoria no
The driving in GTA4 is the most annoying shit ever, thank goodness is not used anywhere else
actually I just really like the characters.

Actually the cops are somehow worse in 5.
I like it because it is the shortest
Anyone who grew up with it probably also grew up with other GTA games. I like it because I like Niko.
The only good part about gta4 was ballad of gay tony. It's like the devs woke up one day and realized huh, maybe gta should be fun to play. And then they made tbogt.
I basically grew up with all the games since I was a little 5 year old piece of shit and I still like IV the most.
why is there nothing to spend money on
I didnt play it when I was a kid, but I still like cause it gives me nostalgia for 00s when I had real life friends.
I was 24 when it released, and I still like it. I also like V. Never really got into Online though.
I grew up with GTA2 - GTA:SA. I was a Junior in high school when GTA IV came out.
San Andreas > IV > Vice City > V > 3
I grew up with GTA San Andreas and True crime streets of LA. GTA IV is still great you fricking zoomer.
I grew up with it and I don't like it.
The side games were incidentally the ones with the best story. Couldn't get into III, IV, or V for the main story and had to seek out other means to enjoy them
I find IV very immersive but I wish there was more interiors and less clothing that made Niko look like an butthole
my first GTA was GTA 2 and GTA IV is my favorite
GTA SA is genuinely fun, I think 90% of the players didnt even experience a quarter of all the content in the game, and I mean fun stuff not collecting shells or some shit. I guess R* figured this and thats why all the other games are much shorter, IV have zero content

I literally cant remember whats IV story about and I finished it two times
I grew up with 3 and VC. I have fond memories of all of them. My fav is probably IV.
I played it in high school after my friend let me borrow it and I didn't like it
I don't like it and I'm 34 years old. One of the worst games in the entire series.
>can remember VC and SA vividly
>only remember "let go bowling" meme from this game
I only ever played the PSP games
4 is trash
lost and damned is trash
gay tony is 11/10 best gta experiece ever
I didn't like any gta despite I grew up with it, VC was the closest thing to a good game
you can tell us you're a zoomer it's not a crime
My first Grand Theft Auto was Vice City, and I still consider IV to be one of the best GTA games I ever played.

I was a little baffled at first by the darker and bleaker story, but I ended up really liking it. A shame we lost customization, at least for Niko, but I can do without it.
I played it for the first time recently and its a good game
The driving and constant calls annoyed me to no end, but i enjoyed the shooting and the story
I need to try san andreas again to be sure its still my favorite
People here like it because they’re moronic contrarians. Same reason this place hates the new Hitman games and insists Morrowind is STILL the best Elder Scrolls game of all time. You should NEVER listen to Ganker.
