Remember when Metroid was actually good?

>>383992539
Los Santos had a very low road density that made it hard to actually stay within the city. Drive in any direction and you're pretty much in the countryside

>>383993534
thanks for putting this feeling into words, anon

>>383992539
If V is so great,why is it so BORING?

>>383992539
i hope this doesnt happen to me. i was ok with 4 when it came out, but it was still behind san andreas. 5 came outand now im gushing over 4,
but still think its worse than san andreas. im very comfortable disliking gta 5 and hope that gta 6 isnt so shit i start to like 5 more. im afraid red dead 2 will make me like 5 more. fucking fallout 4 was so badi couldnt even get a passing enjoyment out of it and now im liking 3 more as i play through it again. i dont think its nostolgia,
just that games change as the franchise goes on. i cant think of an franchise thats been consistently good after 3 installments.

>>383993587
It's what got my to not want to play the game, other than half the map being mountains with no trails on them (what happened to the dense San Andreas Mount Chilliad) as well as the lack of interesting small towns. Even Watch Dogs 2 kind if gets this right with its small map feeling much larger than it is. I like the feeling of being lost in a city and GTA5 lacks this feeling completely.

Same as to why I like Just Cause 2 more than 3 and SR 2 more than the others

>>383992539
>You know this map better than your own city
No I don't. I've never played your stupid game.

Dumb OP.

>>383993703
Hate to say it,but I'm with you. I can't imagine liking another GTA protagonist as much as Niko/an enviroment more than pretend New York.
Unless Vice City got remade or something.

>>383992539
This map had like 3 major cities
A desert section with Area 51
Woods with some small towns scattered around
Was Gta V just smaller or am I seeing through nostalgia googles?

>>383993889
i should mention i 100% gta 4 multiple times and did a lot of the hanging out with friends things. i like niko. hes the beginning of rstar making compelling characters that arent just a trope. cj arguing with sweet about abandoning the hood might really be the prototype though, but thats besides the point. i think i might like johnny more than niko by just a bit. im a metalhead who works manual labor and aftera run in with a bad girl i just couldnt quit soon enough, i feel bad for the guy. when trevor stomped his brains in i know 5 wasnt gonna be a game for me.

I don't understand how anyone can like GTA.

It's probably the most boring game series out there, including sports games.

>>383993974
You're screwing with me which game is this one from?

>>383994176
it's fun to free roam the map listen to music, sucks GTA V has a shit map.

It's not fun though. Eurotruck Sim is more fun.

>>383992539
>fixed everything wrong with GTA IV

Weird, since IV is better than V in virtually every way and was also an upgrade over SA and its unnecessary, unfun bloat, despite the rampant crying of babbies who couldn't figure out how to drive and got terminal butthurt over the phone calls.

The endings in IV are better than in SA and V, Niko is the best protag of the bunch, the missions are much more open-ended and fun than all of the linear crap missions in V and all of the "spend 15 minutes driving to do one thing, and then drive back again" missions in both V and SA.

>>383994423
But it's not better.

>>383994483
Except it is.

>>383994520
Except it isn't.

>>383994271
This, putting on your favorite station and pulling out your favorite muscle from the garage and just driving around is pretty comfy.

>>383994367

>>383994607
Oh wow when you put it that way I see that actually I DO find your crappy game fun.

>>383994423
>unfun bloat
gang wars. i'll give you that. you can kiss my ass if you think car mods and gambling are bloat. it gives each city its own disstinct side activities. schools were also a fun challange and playable video games fall into the why the hell not category. them being there adds enough to show that rockstar wanted you to have fun at every turn. 4 only lets you have fun with dlc or ignoring nikos story progression.

Be a little more confident in your taste, man. If you start liking a game you hated before, that's just one more time you enjoyed a game, just fucking cherish that instead of caring about what is considered "good" taste and what isn't.

>>383994673
the only moment i liked in gta 5 was when i killed a guy who had a 2 billion dollar bounty. i spent all the money i could before rockstar took it away. it was early in the game, like 2014, so they werent banning people yet. i hope i never get nostolgic for the terrible ending of 5 or boring missions like michaels movie premier that should have been as great as phil collins in vice city stories but just sucked. i'll be dissapointed if i turn around and start liking 5. also, >>383994887 isnt me.

>>383992539
i legit still only remember this game as being the ONLY one out of what has to be hundreds of games i've played where you can actually drive a train. It's just satisfying for some reason.

>>383992539
GTA SA was better.

I played V's campaign once, got bored and sold it, while I still boot up SA weekly.

FOR ONE MISSION YOU CANT AFTER THAT OR ONLINE. SAN ANDREAS HAS A TRAIN THAT TAKES YOU TO OTHER CITIES OR YOU CNA HIJACK IT AND DO MINI DELIVERY MISSIONS. YOU CAN EVEN DERAIL THE FUCKING THING. I DONT EVEN CARE IF THIS IS A SHITPOST. NOTHING HAS TOPPED SAN ANDREAS AND THATS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR THE INDUSTRY. SAINTS ROW 2 AND JUST CAUSE 2 WERE THE CLOSEST WE'LL GET AND THEIR FRANCHIES TURNED TO SHIT TOO. I NEED TO GO TO BED ALREADY

>>383993974
>Area 51 a stroll away from Venturas
Who taught this was a good idea?
Should have been in the upper desert part in the least

Did anyone else have more fun in San Andreas than V? It's obvious that V is the superior game, but I just remember having much more fun with SA than I did with V.
Although it could be because I was a kid when I played SA and I just enjoyed games more back then.

>>383995525
Nah SA is objectively better

>>383994668
>the least weapons
Fixed with the Episodes
>the least vehicles
212 in SA and about 160 in IV, so less is the word you were looking for. Customization would have been nice though.
>forced dating sim missions
San Andreas had twice as much.
>overly serious plot
It was just Slavic™
>wacky physics
Are you telling me you didn't spend hours messing around with them?
>inhabited by brainless sock monkeys

yes i felt the same but i played them back to back and san andreas was very bland and boring in comparison to gta v. no incentive to do anything outside the main missions because the game is so outdated. generic copy pasted buildings vs uniquely textured and designed buildings makes a huge difference. free roam is just boring in sa now but i didn't feel that way as a kid

>>383992539
How you guys enjoying Minecraft 2? I think its a huge step up, but it still has a long way to go.

V is honestly a pretty shit game overall. It has so much shit in it but ultimately all of it is boring and meaningless when playing it. The 3 characters are unnecessary and should've just followed a single one (not Trevor as he isn't even really a character but more a tool to move the plot along). The plot also had a really weird placing where you went from being poor to being rich as fuck but you still didn't have money you could use in game.
GTA O is one of the worst online experiences I have had in any single game. If Cunning Stunts was released as a seperate stand alone game I would probably play it.

>>383995919
SA was great by the time at release (I was impressed more than by V), but let's face it, it aged like milk. Right now looks like shit compared to V and I couldn't bring myself to play it.

San Andreas is the best and most complete GTA.
Locations, driving schools, martial arts, clothing, skill progression, muscle/fat, missions, characters, the whole arc of returning to the hood, to getting dumped in the wilderness, to making your way back to the city, eventually owning an airbase to managing casinos in Las Venturas. Fun, variety, replayability.

When GTA 4 was first released I found it difficult to get into. But a week or two of playing and I was absolutely hooked.
The euphoria physics, while kinda wonky, is one of the greatest features I've ever experienced in a game. The amount of days I spent literally just bailing off a motorbike/out of a helicopter just to watch Niko flail about with a realism, or standing at the top of a staircase and crack a bat off someones head and watch them tumble backwards.
And gunfights felt great with this too, like shooting the foot of a cop who's taking cover behind a car door to watch him tumble around. There was so much variety it gave tremendous replayability.
And eventually the driving felt beautiful aswell, you could really feel the weight of vehicles, and little things like more passengers effecting handling just further increased it.

GTA 5 is good, but there were too many steps backward. It added nice features that 4 didn't have, but killed the fun gunfight physics and made driving feel cheap and weird. And the map is just too sparse and empty.

tldr; SA>4>5

>>383995491
o_o

>>383992539
I remember seeing the leaks of the map and was 100% sure that San Fierro and Las Venturas were going to be story DLC that would add them to the map since the map would be barren as fuck otherwise.

I found V much more fun than IV and on par with III, but I thought it fell short of VC and SA.

Was 3D Metriod was good?

I've been playing GTA 5 since release, its a whole improvement on GTA IV. Added lots of new (online) game modes and are actually fun to play. GTAVO is so much better than GTA IV MP, people actually communicate and instantly know what to do when they're invited to a club or whatnot, in GTA IV its just no-brainer kiddies running around yelling at their mums to show them how autistic their new mods are that nobody plays.GTA IV also hardly has any online players, and even if there are any, GFWL fucks them over and kills the connection half of the time.

Singleplayer on the other hand, thats where GTA IV shines over GTAV, I agree that IV's physics are so much better than V and that the gameplay is more smooth, much less loading times and better control over the player, the missions are actually more fun than GTA 5 where its just mainly driving, but thats probably because the world isnt as huge as GTAV.

>tl;dr: GTA V is better online, GTA IV is better singleplayer

I remember why I stopped playing almost instantly the first time.

Why didn't they have it so Merryweather goons attack you at the six star wanted level? They finally had their chance to make it viable for tanks to come after you in a GTA game, and they ignored it.

nigga what the fuck is the "charm" in seeing a city full of generic blocks with copy pasted textures.

the detail in GTA IV and V is way above this and it makes the maps much more interesting to explore. you go to 90% of the buildings and they're uniquely built. that's part of the reason why first person was a big mod for IV and became official in V

Except it's not about the quality of the visuals but how pleasing the visuals are
Just because you've got 100000x100000 photorealistic textures does not mean it's good, because there is nothing unique about it
Basically, visuals, like gameplay and story, have to have soul, not just more pixels

Loved SR 1 and 2. They felt like straight forward improvements over what SA was. 3 and 4 don't do anything for me. The series got too retarded in its quest to differentiate itself from GTA more.

So it's like Saint Row 2? Silly but serious?

3 is weird, but 4 is just a Flash Superhero game, so that was cool.
