So, the last time I played it was 2008 but I have so many great memories with this game and I wanna play it again (and probably end up feeling disappointed).

So, how do I proceed? Are there any essential patches/mods/texture packs/remastered versions that I should get?

Did anyone play it recently? How does it hold up?

Thanks.
>>
get the silent patch

it holds up fine
>>
Recently played it for the first time and finished it on stream. Used the silent patch and a few other mods.

Fun game, ending is a bit rushed but overall its an enjoyable experience.

Playing my annual playthrough right now. The Angel Pine/San Fierro missions are boring, but it's all worth it getting to Las Venturas with the Toreno/Casino heist missions and eventual return to Los Santos.

Someday I'll do a 100% run, but I just fucking love dressing up CJ in so many ways every playthrough. Also finding a new appreciation for Master Sounds and K-Jah West.

MOOOVE HOMIE.

Las Venturas, Toreno and missions in the desert (including the flight school) were my favorite part of the game.

Is it possible to play single player campaign with mods without crashing?

I just wanted resolution and draw distance, with a locked at 60 framerate, but I'm always crashing.

San Andreas was the perfect GTA game.

The story was truly sprawling and epic, the gameplay still holds up today, the soundtrack was amazing and all the old characters were a nice touch.

For some reason IV and V felt soulless to me. Yeah they were good games, but they lacked that special something, or maybe I just got old and things don't impress me anymore.

-ThirteenAG's Widescreen Patch
-Project_2dfx_sa
-lensflare .asi

There's some neat CLEO4 mods too, like GTA4-type minimap zooming, manual reloading weapons, ect.
>>
>>385457478
My only dislike for SA is how you have to completely redo a mission if you fail, no matter what.

FUCKING ZERO.

>>
>>385455453
I keep SA installed on an old laptop and have played it on and off for years. Holds up great. After a few minutes you adjust to the older graphics and the game is just fucking fun.

Don't stress about mods. See if you can find a version that hasn't had the music removed. If you have the old CDs, you're golden. Enjoy!
>>
>>385455453

I played it about a year or two ago, still holds up really well imo, it was one of the few games I can come back to every so often and still have a lot of fun. It might take a little bit of adjusting in the beginning to get used to it, but once you get used to it the game is a blast all the way through. There's some mods that restore some processing effects that the PS2 had among other things, but frankly I've always played it with just the patch and never had much of an issue.
>>
>>385456057
Yeah, it's the best in the series.
>>
>>385455453
Played through this again just a couple months ago, didn't look into any mods or anything but yes I would absolutely recommend playing through again. Holds up better than any GTA in my opinion, huge amount of variety, great map, interesting characters and one of the best soundtracks of any game ever, fuck I might just go fire it up myself now that I'm talking about it.
>>
>>385458287
There's a CLEO4 script that will for autosaving/reloading, and a script that lets you buy back your weapons like in GTA4.

I play it every year,

the humour gets better. graphics really are shit, but you get used to it and learn to love them as they are.

The Missions still are pretty fun to do, due to it's diversity, even with some frustrating ones inbetween.

In terms of Gameplay, this is still my favorite GTA.
>>
>>385457679
lol wut...maybe the case for Vice City, SA and sorta 4 but definitely none of the others
>>
>>385458287
I'll take that over every mission having checkpoints every 2 seconds, it would be perfect if there was GTA game that let you immediately restart a mission when you fail but cut back on the checkpoints.
>>
>>385457478
>GTA Online is fun and extremely playable
HAHAHAHAHAHA

i play it since Dead Gen, and you're wrong. The playable part made me laugh the most. Make sure to practize that adadadadadadadadadadadadadad and call it skill and fun ;^)

San Andreas was the last good GTA game. And it had 3 cities and a massive rural area between them. I don't care how big the GTA V map is, it doesn't have San Fierro and Las Venturas in it.

And I hate how everything is totally OVERFUCKINGBLOWN in GTA V.

Like they have an imitation of Twitter and they imitate celebrities and today's generation of young people, but everything is shown in such a tasteless, over the top way, everyone is shameless and it's so ugh unrealistic, they blew everything out of proportions to show le decay of our society hurr

Okay, please explain why San Andreas is better.

From what I've seen GTAV has better

>Character development
>Physics
>Textures
>Graphics
>Map
>Weapons
>Customization
>Clothes
>Cars
>Uses for money

You know what San Andreas is objectively better in? Nothing. This is a fact.
>>
>just watching a youtube video of the last san andreas mission
WHAT THE FUCK
WHATS WITH ALL THE POLYGONS
WHATS WITH THE SHITTY GRAPHICS
WHY ARE THE STREETS SO EMPTY
WHY IS THERE NOTHING IN THE BUILDINGS
WHATS WITH ALL THE TEXTURES

I SWEAR IT WASNT LIKE THIS WHEN I PLAYED IT 12 YEARS AGO ;___________;

D-DOES ANYONE FEEL THE SAME?
>>
>>385459242
This is bait
San Andreas has an individual weapon skill system, an actual third act, four fighting styles, body mass management, actual collectibles and awards for getting them.
>>
I'm sensing that someone is samefagging ITT.
>>
>>385459460
>an actual third act
What does this actually mean?

Compare it to GTAV please, I don't get it.


Like I said I tried to play SA but I couldn't play the game past the second or third mission. It kept freezing up. Then I remembered you couldn't shoot freely in the car and I turned it off and played V multiplayer with friends.

>>385457478

While I still do play GTA:O from time to time, sure it can be decently fun, even you have to realize Rockstar has fucked it up, especially with gunrunning

Flaws like

>Everyone shows up on the map at all times
>No ability to create custom lobbies or anything like that
>Introducing severely broken vehicles in gunrunning such as the oppressor, APC, and MOC
>Making everything money gated and making things increasingly more expensive just to sell shark cards, gunrunning was the absolute worst at this and didn't even add in a good way to make money
>Again making the game based around microtransactions is a shitty model
>Some interesting game modes, but not as many people will play things out of the ordinary because it might not be as efficient for money

Again I still have a bit of fun with it, partially because hackerbux, but GTAO had the potential to be so much more. I really don't have a lot of faith for whatever online they have planned for GTA VI because you know damn well it's going to be just as money and microtransaction focused.
>>
>>385459682
You have GTA:O for that.

Michael is that kind of character, it's the way he was written.
>>
>>385459242
>Physics
>Textures
>Graphics
irrelevant, the games are 10 years apart


>Character development
Development was probably better but the characters themselves were far, far worse
>Map
SA was better, had much more to do and had many more easter eggs
>Weapons
Again SA is better, individual weapon skills, dual wield pistols and uzis, the guns don't all feel samey like in V
>Customization
Again, SA is better, fat, skinny, buff as fuck, many tatoos and clothes
>Clothes
Character restricted ones, cool
>Cars
What about them?
>Uses for money
i'll give you that one, probably more for online to encourage people to but shark cards

SA has better characters, funner gameplay, better story, better music, better side missions

you can suicide now
>>
Can anyone explain to me why do I remember every single street and location in San Andreas, Vice City and GTA III, but I don't remember anything from GTA IV or GTA V?

III and Vice City were rather small, but San Andreas was massive, yet I remember all of it?

Either those cities had something unique and memorable about them and these new cities are boring, lifeless and generic as fuck or I was a kid back then and my brain worked differently and it was easier to memorize something when you were younger. But fuck, I'm not that old yet...
>>
>>385459242
>Map
I had more fun with VC's tiny ass map than I did with a map where it's 80% desert and mountains and 90% of the time you're at the bottom.
>>
>>385457679
It's the plot of about any crime-centric story that follows a single main character. It's boring as shit to just have the main character be already at the top and nothing else happens. The story has to be either about their initial beginnings and eventual rise, or about their fall from grace and a goal to rise back up or burn it all down in revenge. Interesting stories are often about the conflicts and obstacles the characters face in achieving their goals, after all.
>>
>>385460027
I haven't played IV but V really was that boring and lifeless
>>
>>385460027
San andreas might have had a large map but the cities were pretty self contained, so its more like remembering 3 GTA III maps, whereas V's huge city makes it harder to associate locations because of the larger scope and lack of ways to differentiate areas. Everything was open from the start.
>>
>>385460027
V's map is the worst the series.
>>
>>385460027
It could be just sheer number of hours spent roaming them. I know that despite all the thousands of hours I've played San Andreas I sometimes get confused in the Richman area, and I chalk that up to the place being really hilly and spending most of my playtime anywhere else on the map.

It's a scenic area, but really the only place of relevance there is the boating school, which isn't really too relevant. I do go by it sometimes on playthroughs, just not very often.

Probably because through your nostalgia goggles SA felt a lot bigger than it actually was. The individual components of the map really aren't *that* big, but there's a large amount of diversity and interesting things to find around almost every corner.

GTA 5 has a massive map but most of it is just featureless nature and highways that aren't fun to play on or particularly memorable.
