If Rockstar just released that as their next game instead of a new GTA title, I'd be perfectly okay with that. Seriously, I'd probably play it forever. As it is, I played San Andreas for like 2 solid years after it came out.

webmeister posted:So yeah, the story is still awesome and the game was brilliant at the time, but it would need a lot of work to bring it up to a modern standard. Don't forget that awesome mission where you need to spend 20 minutes grinding up your underwater breathing skills! That was the worst part of the entire game, I'm with you there (well, that and "All you had to do was follow the drat train, CJ!"). But the rest of the stuff you listed, I'm okay with all that. The last time I played through it was when I bought it on XBOX Live at like the end of '09. I was still just as in love with it then as I was when it came out. It was still a hell of a lot of fun for me to replay, which I can't say is true for GTA IV.

Iacen posted:I thought San Andreas was too big v San Andreas was just the right size. I thought the driving times between places were pretty accurate to real life, and I didn't mind them because you had all sorts of cool vehicles to drive. Taking a jetpack from San Fierro to Las Venturas was pretty fantastic. And you got to see all the cool scenery along the way. Like if I had come out of Los Santos and immediately been in San Fierro, it would've felt weird. I loved having small towns and wooded areas and mountains and whatnot to break it up. Then when I got to the new city, it really felt like I had progressed into some entirely different area. It always seemed like Rockstar got that right to me.

Both times I played through GTAIV, I sided with Dwayne and killed Playboy just so I could get his sweet rear end apartment. Never hung out with Dwayne, though. He came across like a little bitch to me too but I never felt guilty enough to hang out with him.

The bank heist mission with all those guys was absolutely insane and probably the peak of that whole game. Then nothing after that comes close to being as huge as that mission.

Install Gentoo posted:There has been 0 confirmation of three cities. All we have is that some signs say other cities' names but IV had signs and references to Los Santos, Venturas, Vice City etc without any way to go there. I hope there's another mission like the one in GTA:SA where you fly to Liberty City and they show a cutscene of an environment lifted straight from GTA3 but with better graphics.

Los Santos looks loving huge. Bigger than it did in GTA:SA. Does this imply that it's the whole map or only part of a larger map? I'm hoping for the latter

Crappy Jack posted:I think that's more than enough map. I loved how dense Liberty City was, I don't want them cutting down on the details for the sake of just making a bigger city. You'd rather them only do 1/3 of the map from SA and have it be super detailed rather than a recreation of the entire map (hell, maybe even more based on the locations in Los Santos not appearing in SA (at least, I don't think they did)) that's just detailed?

Crappy Jack posted:Correct. Yes. A huge sandbox does not always equal a fun sandbox if there's not as many things to do in it. Well if there's a huge map (like in SA) with as many things to do as there were in SA (hopefully more / different things so it's not a total rehash), it'll be fun as hell (like SA was).

Zedd posted:If they would make a full ps2-SA sized map with the detail that went into 4 you would need immense manpower or immense dev time to get it done. Do they not have that? I guess I'd be satisfied if it was just Los Santos and Los Santos was a ton more detailed than SA's Los Santos was. But if they really went all out and made all 3 loving counties like SA had but with that level of detail across the board, it'll probably be the best 360 game of all. poo poo, put a bunch of load times in the game. I don't care. I just want to see the scale of SA's map with the amount of detail in that trailer released a couple days ago.

Install Gentoo posted:I'm pretty sure this one city alone will be both more detailed and larger (in area) than all of SA was. IV's Liberty was already more detailed than all of SA, albeit only 2/3 the area. Yeah, that's fine. I just hope all the detail makes Los Santos a more fun place to play. Parts of SA's Los Santos were really amazing and then other parts were boring as hell. Same thing with San Fierro and Las Venturas, too, really. If all the most interesting parts of the three main cities from SA are combined into one (or something different is done that's equivalent to that happening) for GTA5, I'll be content. It looked like that's what was going on in the trailer, though, so I'm not worried. Install Gentoo posted:
Jeez, I haven't played GTA1 in ages. Forgot all about its maps.

simosimo posted:Not that LA Noire was the most invigorating game to free-roam in, I found the map to be rather dull. Then again, I wasn't going on murderous rampages. I'm sure Los Santos will be 20x more fun! Wasn't the game redone in some ways and then rushed near the end of its development cycle? From what I've heard, they put all their time and energy into getting the main story to be awesome and didn't focus on polishing up the city or giving people an excuse to free roam at all.

Wandle Cax posted:I never played GTAIV, is it worth just getting the episodes standalone disc, does that have enough content/replay value or should I really play the main game if I want to experience GTAIV? Really I want to know if the main game is worth bothering with, because i've heard positive things about the DLC. Get the complete collection (main game + DLC packs). The main game deserves to be played through at least once, and after you get through it, you'll be familiar with the layout for the DLC packs, which are better than the main game.

GTAIV had & Down by Boys Noize and Sebastian's remix of Testarossa Autodrive by Kavinsky on its electro station, and they're pretty great to drive to, but they aren't as memorable as most of the tracks on 3 / Vice City / San Andreas. GTAIV also had that neat ambient station, but it wasn't something I could listen to all the time. It was only enjoyable to listen to every so often.

GTA3's soundtrack loving ruled  I still to this day get songs from Head Radio, Lips 106, RISE FM and MSX FM get stuck in my head from time to time, and that game came out 10 years ago. In fact, I think GTA3's soundtrack was just as memorable as Vice City's or San Andreas', if not moreso.

I had never played the Stories games either, but I got a pack of both of them on PS2 last year and tried to play them. They didn't grab me that much at all. I don't know what it was, but I just couldn't get into either one of them. But I will say that Liberty City Stories had motorcycles, and riding through the streets of GTA3's Liberty City on a motorcycle was loving awesome.

Install Gentoo posted:They really need to bring the Stories games to the PC/modern consoles. The PS2 versions of Liberty City and Vice City stories actually look worse than the PSP version! More fog, lower detail and all that. I think that's a big part of why I couldn't get into them. They looked less-advanced than GTA3 which came out several years before them.

Corzaa posted:I remember back in San Andreas I was loving around and went AFC (away from controller) and when I came back CJ was rapping some lines from Nuttin but a G Thang. Didn't he do this even if you weren't listening to it on the in-game radio? Because I barely ever listened to the hip-hop station back when I used to play San Andreas, and I'm pretty sure he would sing a line or two from it if you were away from the controller, no matter where you were.

The Driver mission in VC was frustrating as loving hell the first time I played VC (when I was like 13). I think I finally ended up finishing it by ramming the opponent into a wall or traffic or something early on so I could get ahead and not have to worry about him catching up easily. The other mission that frustrated me to no end was the one where you have to jump all the rooftops on a motorcycle to activate the spotlight. I remember I tried over and over again, and every time, I'd get to this one spot but miss the next loving jump and I'd have to start from a location that was several rooftops behind where I had gotten to. The time limit would always expire as a result of this. I ended up giving up on the game altogether for something like 6 months. Then when I came back to it, I passed that mission on the first try

Haha well that was many years ago. I've beaten the game a few times since then, and I think I used a helicopter for that mission on at least one of my subsequent playthroughs. I guess I just wasn't thinking out of the box the first time I did it, and the route they presented you with wasn't a very easy one.

Espresso 2 Go was pretty aggravating for me the first few times until I was able to really formulate a route around all the different areas of the city. Then it became awesome. Similarly, the mission where you have to get Ray to the airport with a very short time limit without taking the Shoreside Vale bridge was super frustrating. Was there even another way you could do it besides taking the underground tunnel? I would always take the tunnel for that mission, and my car would get beat to hell because I'd be weaving in and out of traffic in narrow spaces and I kept hitting other cars. By the time I got Ray to the airport, my car was one hit away from catching on fire.

The first time I played through GTA3, I got in this big shootout with the cops right after I got in the bulletproof Patriot for the first time to test out whether or not it was really bulletproof. I got out of the car for some reason and was shot to death by an Army guy with an M4 or whatever that assault rifle was with the lightning fast fire rate. So I died, and when I respawned and went to go grab the car again, it was gone. I guess because I had taken it out of the garage. Oops!
