The missions were too short since it was designed for the PSP and due to the technical limitations it looked uglier than Vice City on the PS2.

While SA is better from a technical perspective, it aged like milk and has a depressive atmosphere (brownbloom and blur). SA has turned into a meme game. (le order number 9 amirite boiz xD). The map might be huge, but most of it is empty landscapes. The second half of the story takes a huge nosedive: it goes from a Crips&Bloods simulator into a whacky adventure where CJ flies jetpacks and infiltrates Area fucking 51. And nobody cares about the RPG mechanics.
VC's 80's atmosphere is timeless. It's vibrant and colorful. It aged like a fine wine. The music alone gets me coming back to the game every few years.
People only look fondly of SA because it was their first "big map" game where you could seemingly "do anything".

Vice City Stories was the worst selling game in the entire series, fun fact. Rockstar themselves were responsible for a shitload of congressional bullshit about 10 years back, when they slipped in Hot Coffee. They lied to the ESRB, got caught by modders who found it on PC right away, then they blamed the modders, were forced to be held responsible by the ESRB and Congress, got the CEO of Take Two fired, and refused to talk about the controversy. It's well known the Hausers and Rockstar are pussies who when push comes to shove, run away. Nowadays the GTA community is pretty much done with Rockstar, after being mislead by Rockstar with GTA V's DLC. Vice City was a great game but fuck rockstar.

80% of the game IS A FUCKING FILLER, Las venturas and San fierro are boring as fuck especially since everything that happens there is entirely in the filler part of the story while all the fun filler missions are either in the desert or badlands. And when the story finally gets back on track it can't focus. How the fuck GS becomes an entity after an already withered gang gets it's members killed, imprisoned and getting all of what's left alive and free coopted by NUMBER 9 LARGE into ballas.
That's why atmosphere is so fucking shit.

Sorry that you're confusing "going on an adventure" with "filler." The flight school was filler, but that's about it. Doing missions for some CIA spook who forces you to steal a fucking fighter jet and keep it is fun as fuck. So is robbing the casino, and helping Woozie out.

Fucking LCS has more adventure in the 2nd act than SA does in towns 2 and 3. How is it an adventure when most missions are around that shitty gas station and the casino. In 2nd town you rarely ever diverge from the road that goes along that station and in the 3rd town you barely even do any missions there, because most of them are either not location specific or out of town. And the reason for that is that your "authority" never grows within a town, thus whatever regions and jobs that could be done within less or more wealthy regions of that town don't get explored.
You've also missed entirely the status of my understanding of reasons behind the decisions that were made
>you're confusing "going on an adventure"
>>all the fun filler missions are either in the desert or badlands
I understand that it's an adventure and the moral is "everywhere is shit but home", but that still has "everything is shit" as a part of it.
>>13907063
How can it pick up if everything that is good in SA is build around GS? Until Sweet gets out of prison the only thing you do is change pimps that use your ass, you don't grow in any respect until that point. Like, outside of that rapper sideline, where does anything from the filler part of the game comes up later? Did it affect anything that could happen after that? For all everyone could care CJ could be just flinging shit growing marijuana on someone's farmland until Sweet calls him up and says "oi, busta, we need to resurrect GS back to life" and barely anything would change.
>>13907103

I think this is your problem. You keep going on about "muh filler" like the plot matters. I don't give a shit about the ooga booga plot. I don't give a shit if something is filler or not. It's not a tv series, it's a game. I only care if the gameplay is fun, and the gameplay is most fun after the initial Los Santos section. You're just bitching about the story, which is irrelevant because the only thing that matters is what's FUN.
>For all everyone could care CJ could be just flinging shit growing marijuana on someone's farmland until Sweet calls him up and says "oi, busta, we need to resurrect GS back to life" and barely anything would change.

Then why are you responding to it more than to the parts of the complaints that are actually relevant to you? It's not like my argument was completely dry of fun and gameplay part's criticisms. For example, the argument for non existent progression within towns and thus complete lack of variety. I could add more meat to it by saying that the missions within towns feature less gameplay mechanics than what is either in los santos or badlands/desert. The former because los santos is obviously the main focus of the game thus there are more features and development effort packed into it, the latter is solely because it's a different landscape with different rules and developers naturally had to improvise to come up with fun stuff.

GTA V is by far the best game in the series when you consider overall scale and technological scope
GTA Vice City is by far the best game in the series in terms of overall depth in its setting and atmosphere
San Andreas is pretty much just the poor-mans GTA V at this point. Rockstars rendition of the 1990s is just too drab in my opinion to count it in terms of atmosphere. Even GTA V had a better atmosphere with "DUDE BEACH SUN STUNTS WEED CALIFORNIA LMAO!" Although I will give SA credit that the world I do think is overall better designed than V in the sense that it feels larger while technically being less than half the size of GTA V, but the sheer attention to detail of the world in GTA V is unmatched in terms of open worlds in general

III has the most challenging missions but no motorcycles.
VC introduces motorcycles and has improvements in character and mission design but the map is smaller than III.
SA has the largest and most various map (including urban, forest and desert areas) but the missions are stoner level easy. Most of the fun is in exploring while wearing nothing but boxers. Also bicycles.
IV introduces new battle systems that make the game more engaging to play but by now there are a lot of other open world games that you could play as an alternative. Also what the fuck happened to the bicycles?

The controls and the missions are tedious and annoying. It's a shit game. I only truly saw at last when I tried it again this year. Then I played San Andreas and it was still pretty fantastic.

Before you say this you should note that the PC port of Vice City is pretty poor.

Every single 3D and HD era GTA is one of the worst ports in history.
Except maybe for gta 3 which isn't saints row 2 tier like the rest but it's still a really bad port.

San Andreas' port isn't that bad, a few missing graphical effects (you can add these back with mods) and the physics going wonky if you turn off the frame limiter are the only issues that spring to mind. V's port is also surprisingly good or at least I didn't see any big holes, likely because it was done by R* Leeds instead of the every-competent R* North.
IV's is likely the worst in the series, performance was terrible and it had things like objects popping in right in front of you while driving.

Oh god yes. Many of my steamfriends told me to not get it on PC. But I should've listened. The controls are so terrible.

Controls are a minor issue compared to horrible performance and silly things like framrate dictating speed in cars (multiplayer as well as single player). R* North have always been pretty bad at the technical side of things, particularly on PC.

But in the old GTAs you can at least turn on a frame limiter to keep it at 30. In IV the shit performance (and attendant random FPS drops) prevent anything like that and the multiplayer races are ruined by it.

Alright alright, SA isn't shit, it's partially great and partially awful, but since the parts aren't mixed together (but quite the opposite) I don't average them out into a "meh game" and focus instead on the awful part that takes up most of the game.

To be fair, SA had it's moments in terms of impressing with it's expanded amount of open world features, but it wasn't as big of a jump as from 2 to 3 was, and unlike 3 SA wasn't as consistent in terms of its quality.

Not sure about IV but in V you can lock it to 30fps by turning half v-sync on
The only reason you'd actually want to do this though is for fps consistency. The Bullet and Euphoria physics engines are NOT tied to framerate in the R.A.G.E. engine like the Renderware toolkit physics were in the old GTA Engine

No, by the time it came out it most people had played enough of the other titles that it felt like a mod or dlc than anything. The music wasn't quite as good, the radio chat not as funny, the celebrities not that famous. A downgrade in more categories than the upgrade in gameplay.
That said, it still was a pretty good game.

VC or SA are acceptable answers. GTA3 is for hipsters, GTA 1 & 2 are for shitposters. GTA IV is for 'muh story' normalfags who shouldn't even be here. GTA V was sacrificed for shark cards and had most of the content withheld for online and thus shouldn't even be considered.

It was somewhat clunky but the quick action animations for cover were great as a dodge mechanic. Blind fire was good but maybe too accurate
SA is still the best

the cover mechanics were essential if you werent focused on dieing in 2 seconds the minute more than 2 enemies show up

You could crouch, and there was even a fast crouch movement, problem would be managing the camera. Also it buffed the accuracy but didn't allow hip fire.

In GTA:IV the speed of your car certainly is tied to FPS, in the almost impossible case you get to try a race without a hacket in in multiplayer you'll see it to a shocking level. Thankfully that was the only thing I noticed being directly affected, things like swimming and so on that 3D era games had problems with are not. Hell in San Andreas you could even occasionally slit your own throat with the knife if you unlocked your FPS.
