VC was the best, but SA was pretty decent and IV was basically like a western Shenmue. V and 1 are the only GTAs that are below the standard.

>>384000574
What purpose do they serve beyond not having to animate cutscenes for dialogue? Just do a block phone or a pager again.

I seriously cannot find WHY VC is so much better than later entries.

Gameplay and interactivity got better, writing didn't really get much worse but still they pale with VC in comparison.

Give me a break, Vice City was my first GTA and one of the first games i ever played, but even i can admit SA is better.

>>384000484
It's hard for me to explain, but GTA5 felt like a period game even though it was modern day. For GTA3 and GTA4, it seemed like it was just modern day just because, but so much more could actually be parodied in GTA5 with the smartphones and Facebook taking over, and all the hipster shit. I was 11 when GTA3 came out so maybe I just didn't catch references, but I know GTA4 was just a general NYC parody and not time period so much.

SA had:
>worse mission design (VC had no scripted shit)
>worse map design (traveling across an empty countryside became tedious)
>worse protagonist (CJ is spineless compared to Tommy)
>worst driving in all the 3D games

VC is still my favourite.

>>384001331
>ooga booga muufugga crack bix nood ballas cj fool

VC is the best because it was an unapologetic, violent, arcade style videogame. SA and everything after tried too hard to be a Hollywood crime film knock off.

>Vice City was 20 years ago
>The 80s were 40 years ago

I miss it. I'd kill for a Vice City remake in the new engine.

-a "best of" soundtrack of a whole generation not just 1-2 "hits" and then just some no name tracks

- many references to famous movies and shit

- colorful and good life feeling, simply just drive around the map enjoying the music weather and stuff

- no edgy shit

a las vegas style game with heavy influences from the movie casino would work and yeah 80's VC again

>>384000676
Its the only GTA that fulfills the mafioso power fantasy. You get the giant mansion, have your own gang, and run the whole city. By the end of the game, Tommy feels like a big deal, and all your hard work at the bottom feels justified.

In SA and IV, you make tons of money, but give it all up to live a simpler life. V is just weird.

>>384002153
IT'S CALLED GRAND THEFT AUTO NOT GRAND THEFT PLANE

>>384002609
Wow, completely forgot about this. Probably a coping mechanism to forget about that abysmal porn studio mission...still gives me nightmares to this day

>>384001957
If the GTA games modeled themselves after crazier movies like VC did with Scarface, they'd be much more entertaining.

I know this is always said, but I replayed VC recently and I just like Tommy more as a criminal. I'm saying this, eve though SA was my childhood. (im 20).

>Tommy:
>Doesn't take any shit
>Runs a city
>Even though it was an earlier engine on less memory, I swear with the vanilla game your gang looks bigger when they spawn in around places you own.

>CJ:
>Buster
>Is only really a second in command of an individual set of The Families, story-wise
>Not even a full on leader
(Realistically he'd stick to Grove street, while other Families sets are run by their own capos)
>Ignoring realism
>Families only owns LS at the end of the game, and all territories arent even really manditory
>LV is still run by the italians
>SF is run by Woozie and that small Korean gang

Some gangster you are, you straight edge, peer-pressured, weak-ass gang runnin', uncle Tom-ass errand boy!

I actually loved the whole story of the GTA3 era games. I liked seeing the same characters pop-up in different games and getting to see how events influenced each other. IV was such a drop-off for me because it decided not to continue the story.

>>384002635
>VC has bikes!

>>384002730
I don't see why so many people had an issue with that mission.

Once you learn that the plane gets lighter the less fuel you have, it's easy.

Doing stunt jumps along the roofs with a bike was the nightmare fuel mission.

>>384002153
SAfags and "muh swimming", VC had much better driving than the terrible combination of arcadey and realistic driving SA offered.

RC helicopter mission wasn't even badly designed, you just suck ass at it, besides it still beats the shitty Zero missions from SA.

Oh yeah and VC is graphically superior.

You are a colossal moron.

>>384003808
Cars in VC actually have a glossy effect on them though. In SA everything is matte

>>384003808
The driving is consistant, atleast. SA had this weird blend of realism to it which didn't work at all, not to mention the car exploding after flipping over thing should of been removed given how the map is designed.

VC has much better character models in both cutscenes and in game, SA sacrificed any potential of improved graphics to make it run on the PS2.

>>384004213
Driving was fun in SA for me so i don't get the complaint. And if you dont want the car to flip over you just have to not drive like a retard. Some cars handled better some worse, as it should be.

III was great for it's time but it's aged to the point it's not all that fun to play now.

VC had 10/10 atmosphere, great missions, and a good story. Plus the music and humor were top notch.

SA had a weaker story, everything was orange and kind of ugly, but it had a shitload of things to do crammed in it. You also had to play as a nigger which was lame.

IV had all the vehicles feel like they had soap on the wheels and had the physics of a tugboat. The main story was interesting but it suffered heavily from a lack of strong side characters. IV also had a serious lack of things to do, with it not being a whole lot better than III in this regard.

Didn't play V but it looks like they kept it too close to IV which I'm not fond of.

VC > SA > III > IV

V improved practically everything that IV did wrong, the driving in V is actually fun and zippy, the game doesn't look so grey and dreadful, there's a lot more customization and side content. It's very similar gameplay to IV but everything is "funified".

The hate for it on /v/ always confuses me, yes the game is very accessible and casual but it's still a ridiculously enjoyable game, the mechanics are basically fine-tuned to be satisfying and again, the focus on FUN is really refreshing

Except that remake would probably have even more songs removed and reworkes script. Remember the scene with references to Haitians as roaches was changed. I beg there'd be a lot more changes.

Also, while we're here. Was there ever a repatch to add back those expired licensed songs on steam version? I also recall there was supposes to be a Lionel Ritchie song in the opening gameplay section. Sad to see many GOAT 80s tracks gone.

Feels good knowing Rockstar will never patch out anything from my version.
Never got SA sadly but played to completion on PS2, wouldn't touch the post-patch Steam version with a barge-pole.

While SA was mechanically superior (larger area, more vehicles, side missions, longer in general) it just didn't hit everything as right especially with the story.

VC Story:
>Betrayed, working from ground up to get in with top dog in the city and get money+drugs back, usurp him or use him.
>Lance fucks up, back to square one, build up power with other forces in the city and take over
>Lance betrays you, showdown with old boss end up feelinglike you own the city

SA Story:
>Come back home after running away for (why did he run away again?)
>Help local street gang rise up against other streetgang with graffiti wars?
>Take over 'the hood' then betrayed immediately and everything you did ends up being a waste of time
>Spend several hours in the woods getting shit kicked in by dominant woman
>Do various odd jobs for other gangs, never rising above lackey status
>You have some money, not a total failure anymore. The End.

>>384007457
>>384007606
If you bought VC before the licenses ran out, they didn't remove the songs like they did with SA.

YOU'RE OUT OF TOUCH
I'M OUT OF TOUCH

>>384007895
there's a reborn patch for SA's steam version too
in fact I think there's one for every GTA except V. Based modders

>>384007895
Lance felt like a shitty 'nemesis' compared to Tenpenny and Big Smoke. He had no real reason to betray you other than "you hurt my feelings, tommy!". Smoke and Tenpenny were trying to destroy an entire street gang and CJ just happened to come back at the pivotal moment to step in and put an end to it, albeit mainly to get his brother out of jail.

Episodes from Liberty City was my fav

>>384008428
I never thought of Lance as a nemesis anyway, just a side character who just was not cut out to be at the top of the chain, kind of like CJ in that regard.
Diaz was the main nemesis then you had an interlude to do whatever you liked around town as Lance keeps fucking up before Sonny showed up

>>384009482
But you kill Diaz before you even reach the midway point of the game.

>>384007895
>>Come back home after running away for (why did he run away again?)
Because he felt responsible for the death of his brother Brian, which is Sweet blames him for. It's representative of how distant Carl is from his family and how he doesn't care about his roots the way Sweet does.

>>Help local street gang rise up against other streetgang with graffiti wars?
Yes and no. The goal was to keep Ballas out of their neighborhood because Ballas dealt crack. The method was subverting Ballas efforts in anyway possible, the graffiti part of it all are just for completionists.

>>Take over 'the hood' then betrayed immediately and everything you did ends up being a waste of time
You also find out that Ryder and Big Smoke are involved with the Ballas with the assassination of your mother.

>>Spend several hours in the woods getting shit kicked in by dominant woman
You mostly work for Tenpenny out there, Catalina's missions is just a playful non-sequitur and a nod to GTA 3. Catalina's missions even end with her getting together with Claude Speed.

>Do various odd jobs for other gangs, never rising above lackey status
Actually you're consoldiating your power and gathering allies outside Los Santos (a place where you at that time have very few allies). And with Sweet in jail, you're the leader of the Grove Street Families. And just because you're cooperating with someone, it doesn't make you a lackey.

>You have some money, not a total failure anymore. The End.
Also the Grove Street Families can effectively keep crack out of their neighborhood, the corrupt police are dead, your mother is avenged and CJ went from escaping Los Santos under pressure to dealing with the pressure head-on and prevailing on top.

Pound for pound, Vice City is probably the best, in terms of being the most slick and the most well designed.

It's the only game where the story has no real awkward "I don't want to do this, but I'm doing it anyway, because....". Instead the story is played straight, he got screwed on a drug deal and has to get it back. I also think the missions tend to be more streamlined and less gimmicky than SA. SA is filled with so much fluff that it's almost overwhelming; VC has a lot of content but most of it is good. I even love the pizza boy

>mfw they make an HD Vice City but only include Vice City West and Starfish Island

>>384001192

I would argue that GTA V does an incredibly job of capturing the world in 2013. IV, on the other hand, very poorly captures 2008; the city feels like 70s new york aside from the internet cafes, and the terrorism satire is more 2002-2004 than 2008

But V felt so close to 2013 LA in culture and look that it's almost shocking. That mission where you go into the lifeinvader office feels ridiculous but they capture a lot of modern trends and attitudes. I know most people dont like V but I think they did a good job

>>384001192
I always thought the internet cafes and crappy cell phones made the game kind of dated. But otherwise you're right in that it generally avoids being topical about what was happening in 2008.

THEY'VE GOT YOUR WIFE!

>>384011225
V overall feels very bland and lacks identity though, at least that's what it felt like to me. The whole game just feels so sterile compared to IV let alone other games in the series.

>general attitude
Who gives a fuck about the general attitude? My first GTA game was III, and I loved IV when it came out. Don't get me wrong, I've put a lot of time into V, but it lacks the charm and personality of IV. It's a GTA game, which means it's better than most other games out there, but V was the first time I felt like the series didn't improve between installments.

>>384011653

It was the opposite for me, I played V first, and I appreciated it more after going back and playing IV. With V they clearly fixed a lot of the problems that IV had

>>384011757
Did you like SA? I loved III and VC, still do, but could never get into SA.

>>384007457
I recently found out my Steam versions of GTA (that I'd never installed before but as I only had acces to a very shitty laptop I thought I'd see if it could run the old GTA games) were censored. As in, no blood, can't kick people lying on the ground etc. Like the German version, except I don't live in Germany or Australia or any of those cucked places.

>>384011860
Yes. I replay all of these games regularly, so it's not like I'm just riding on nostalgia. Every main release GTA game was better than the last until V.

>>384011860
not him, but SA is pretty good. I understand the disdain a handful of anon's have towards the
>BIXNOOD
>*hoops and hollers*
>AYO HOL UP HAHA
>*sniffs and scowls*
type of shit you do at the beginning of the game, but even then, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. The game gets significantly better when you get out of Los Santos and become more "civilized" in your criminal activities to the point where even the main protagonist starts thinking that
>muh hood
isn't for him.

I can't help but think that the further we get from the 80s the less we can expect a good rendering of them in a game.

Good music on the radio, sub-tropical setting and 80s theme that's more playful than gritty.

Rated R for retarded.

>>384012623
Wow, are you a detective?

Gta 5 is just bland.
Only fun thing about it is mods and you could do alot more with modding back in 4.
The multiplayer is pay to have fun and the singleplayer becomes incredibly boring after you beat the main missions.
Gta 4 multiplayer with friends late at night will always have a place in my heart.
Also gta 5 has shit rag doll physics and terrible gunplay and combat compared to 4.

>>384012545
I dunno, it was pretty much in prime SJW territory when it came out, give or take a year. GTA IV in comparison feels like going back in time to an alternate universe.

And don't forget when cuckstar tried to remove pc mods because people where modding in dlc vehicles that where locked to multiplayer and threatening there cash grab

>>384012890
The guns in V feels so weak compared IV, no idea what they were thinking

>>384012545

Makes me scared for the next GTA. If it's set in modern day it feels like they'll probably have a lot of satire about SJWs/Trump

>>384013271
Their biggest mistake was adding hit markers, and that stupid white flash that plays when you get a kill. In IV you sometimes wouldn't know if the target was either dead or just knocked to the floor, so it felt like they were treating the player like an idiot to add indicators of their death.

2 is a legit good game, although it's surprisingly edgy if not outright pessimistic and with retro-futuristic cars, the only bad thing is meh controls, tank controls work good for driving, but walking and aiming is way too imprecise. Probably best theme too.

I feel bad for anyone who subjected themselves to keyboard/mouse controls for vehicles in these games, though at the same time I don't understand how Rockstar fucked up the gamepad controls when all they had to do was copy the console behaviour.
SA is especially egregious about this, you have to mod the bloody game to get anything resembling good gamepad controls.

I was excited when I heard that V was going to be more colorful than IV was, but I was so disappointed when I actually saw gameplay. The color palette just seems so damn washed out, like somebody raised the gamma on their monitor too high. IMO this makes V feel just as dated as IV did, at least aesthetic wise. A color palette like IceEnhancer does would be the objectively best way to do things.

I recommend it, especially if you're a fan of close-quarters atmospheric shootouts in run-down neighborhoods and shithole apartments interspersed with more high scale shootouts. The races and gang wars are pretty fun as well, and the storytelling is quite good imo. I think it does nail its biker aesthetic.

This is going to sound a bit stupid, but in a certain sense Vice City manages to visually look better than GTA V does. Even with the graphical technology we have nowadays they've only managed to make GTA look more 'realistic' and cluttered. Look how pretty Vice City looks there. Sure, the textures are significantly older but aesthetically that one screenshot of a fifteen year-old game arguably looks nicer than anything you'd see in GTA V.

It's basically the same thing with Skyrim and Oblivion.

The song that plays inside the safehouse hotel on Vice City came on the radio in the car one day and dad mentioned it to me.

I didn't even know music played in there

Over 10 years later and I'm still angry about this. It took younger me weeks to beat this mission.

how do people find it difficult?
I was told that it was going to be hard before I played it and then I beat it first try. Just ram him in the ass so he hits a wall or something and then coast your way to the end

Ok faggots I'm gonna replay VC,
PC or PS2?

Modded PC

>>384031895

>Bitch, the guns use auto-aim.
they do not. what does kb&m even have to do with what I said?

>>384032876
Hilary doesn't ram you so why should you? To get an easy win, that's why.

>>384031650
I think you got a little lucky, my dude. Outside of something like the parking garage trick, he rubber bands back to you in seconds.
