San Andreas>>>>>>>>>>

GTA IV's downloadable content makes it #2

i cant understand the hate some people have for San Andreas.

ummm........ basically they didn't like havin a NEGRO as a main character

thats pretty much it

GTA 2 was dope. I hated the birds eye view shit. But easily got over it. And if you couldnt beat the train mission you suck at life. Zero's mission where he had you fly the toy plain and kill the couriers was a bigger bitch. I never beat that for the ps3. But I mastered it for the Xbox.

I support all this.

When did everybody get put up on GTA though? I came in one GTA 1 or 2 because they were playing it in the Nas is Like video. Replaying GTA IV, and I still think it sucks ass for the most part. I'm actually shocked time didn't improve it.

They should base a GTA off of Weeds

Really?...........

 

[deadpoolRKO]

GTA changed gaming forever.

It let people see that free roamin fuckin hookers for health and murdering civilians, basically letting people do what they wish they really could do = crazy sales

then you start seeing saints row and all these other crazy games.

one thing that would change the face of GTA.....

the ability to enter any building in the game

this........ if you could go into corner stores and niggas house, and everyone be different.. that would be hot... and all they need to do now is implement la noire graphics ( as far as faces go ) into the GTA games ..... GTA 4 took that leap into realism... the next one needs to keep the car physics and add back customization to the game....

 

[m. inferno]

Really?...........

yeah in the sense of you slowly building an empire

and that u could be on the run (a unique way to introduce drastically new areas)

This is a great idea, but the area to play in would be small as shit due to the technological requirements. Hell, look at GTA 4 real close. You can look one way on a street and it be perfectly quiet with no one there but Nico. Turn the other direction and it's suddenly 10 cars, cops, and pedestrians which is what made the game a fucking hassle to finish.

If the game was filled with buildings and LA Noire face mapping, I can only imagine what the pop up would be like. You already couldn't just jack a car and ride out in GTA4 without it being a police chase 9/10 times. Add some more customization, a more interesting protagonist, Soldier of Fortune dismemberment, and BRING BACK THE FUCKING CRAZY CODES = winning.

 

[Shyheim]

Yes, as we all know its a great series...part IV, too, fuck all that hate.

San Andreas>>>>>>>>>>

GTA IV's downloadable content makes it #2

Co-sign both statements. The DLC/Episodes from Liberty City are proof that Rockstar listens to and cares about fan demand, as they (re-)added a lot of the things that made Vice City & San Andreas great, which redeemed the series for a lot of gamers.

Speaking of San Andreas, it was the first GTA I beat (And still play the hell out of), and it just so happens to be the best one in the series. LOL@SMH@All the racist gamers who didn't want to play it either because there was a black protagonist, or the original setting, as they missed out on a hell of a game. I'll prolly have more on this later...

i agree with you 100% with the technicality of getting those things.. but if GTA5 was a 5 disc game, wouldnt u want to play it even more? remember when it was a loading screen from island to island on GTA 3 and Vice city? if they had to re-instate something like that for mapping issues.. i would be ok with it... ill just install the game to my harddrive.... i would also like to see more Gears type gore in the game.. like if u shoot somebody in the head... u could see brain matter on the floor and shit like that...

 

[opiie562]

my favorite gaming franchise of all time.

ii remember playing GTA 2.

GTA 3, I don't think i ever beat the entire game, I just remember the main character didn't utter one word.

...then came Vice City, jesus christ how i loved this game, i was almost obsessed......a fat chubby kid in 6th grade who would buy hot cheetos every single day after school and go play this game........got to the point where i wanted to add more things into the game, and get into more detail about shit, had me thinking and wondering i should create my own game or work with Rockstar and add a few specs of my own lol.

San Andreas i absolutely loved as well, never got tired of it, loved the fact you got to customize certain things, huge map with 3 major cities, i loved that they had L.A. since that's where i'm from.

GTA IV was great as well as far as graphics, but idk i didn't fall in love with that one as i did with Vice City & San Andreas, wish they would make a GTA based in either modern Chicago or modern L.A...

i'm not really sure which is the better game IMO, between vice city & san andreas.......might give a slight edge to VC

when is GTA V out?? anyone got a clue

 

[opiie562]

BTW the hardest levels from what I remember (haven't played any of these games in years)

Vice City: you had a certain time limit to get to the junkyard to save Vince from being killed, and all those dudes are shooting at you as your driving up to the place...i use to drive the Hummer cuz i knew it can take bullets and run them niggas over....then you had to get into the garbage truck with lance and take him to the hospital, only to find out you didn't get any money for the mission, that shit took me days to complete lol. Then the last final mission where Lance fucks you over, those are the two that i remember.

San Andreas: Zero's mission where you had to fly the red plane and kill all the couriers, godamn it took me 4 days to beat that shit

I would install it too, but the fact is, I don't think Rockstar would go that route. The game would have to sell dumb high copies to make a profit if it took five discs. As expansive as L.A. Noire is in terms of pushing the industry forward, I can't wait to see what the quarterly numbers look like in regards to losses. If Rockstar loses bread on that game, I don't seem them going balls out ambitious for a while. Then again, people said they couldn't duplicate the Table Tennis graphics in GTA 4, and they shut everybody up by doing it.

If xbox discs werent so bitch made it could be done

True story. I think even the most delusional 360 fan has to realize Blu Ray > Xbox discs.
