San Andreas was not that great actually

[.happybutcher.]

People love to say gta san andreas was the best gta game in the franchise, but they say it only because other people are saying it, or because it's an old game. They fall to note it did not pass the test of time, the game right now is outdated and clunky, the shooting is weird, so is the driving. People need to forget about it and move on.

fun was allowed and you didnt need to manage multi characters shanigan

True

Alright, well it's like Midnight said, what's your favorite? Mine is Grand Theft Auto 4. There's no shortage of comparison videos with it's successor, to tell you exactly why I prefer it.

San Andreas is a different beast though. It's the perfection of the formula that made up the old trilogy. The music, the atmosphere of each region, the challenges, the cheat codes, and the side-activities were the best the series has ever had to offer.

It's not like the game was dated in all, or even most aspects by Grand Theft Auto 4, or even 5. You're wrong if you think it was.

That's not to say nobody considers it the best because others do, but there's good reason people do remember it as the best.

Not bad for a PS2 game. At least it's not some gay game like Team Fortress 2.

GTA SA is great, but then again OP plays TF2 which is complete garbage and always has been.

"Boss, someone is criticizing our favorite game! What do we do?"

"Go onto their profile, find a game, and make fun of them for playing it. This will discredit their entire argument, and make them ashamed to even show their face."

"Got it. That's why you're the best, boss!"

Comparing it to modern games, it's obviously clunky but when it released in 2004, it was absolutely was.

It is the only game that met my expectations and massively surpassed them.

San Andreas had a lot of memorable quotes and characters, whereas subsequent GTA titles had a lot of forgettable ones.

imo that is the main reason people speak fondly of andreas.

but there is also the sense of scale and wonder that comes with being able to travel seamlessly between different cities, even if the content is admittedly a bit stretched because of it.

also, San Andreas introduced a lot of game mechanics now taken for granted in similar titles, such as customizing cars and player clothing/looks.
so it innovated, while many modern games merely imitate.

so given how much of a game changer GTA:SA was at the time, it is no wonder people speak fondly of it, in a sense it is to open world games what Half Life was to FPS games.

It still has the best designed map even if the controls and combat didnt age as well

vice city had all the style

This just means they know I'm right but don't have any valid arguments to support their opinion so they try to bring me down, sucks that it doesn't work tho

[Pierce Dalton]

It was good, but I've always liked VC more.

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

tbh it has a cult following b/c it's more for the gangster style also the 90's vs the old 80's or 70's or even 60's in older GTAs

in newer ones it's more modern


truly the 90's era theme'd game with iconic similarities and soundtrack PLUS THE CARS really did it for the game

not to mention all the mods that came out of it.

[Walach]

I was blow away when GTA3 released. The ones after it wasn't anything for me, mostly because I don't like "premade characters" where you follow their story with no player choices.

[Poyzo]

Agreed. Vice City is the best GTA.

[Blunt Raps]

It was the deep systems that made san andreas special. Like skyrim deep, but nowhere near as buggy. Npcs treated u different based on how u presented yourself. Mini games everywhere. The music. The famous voices.

At this point rockstar fiddles with their engine and systems more than anything else. At that time, every game was building on top of the last one. They were making ♥♥♥♥ and selling it. Idk wtf they do now.

I agree, for me Saints Row 3 and 4 is better.
