cleft53914d ago

I agree, but I would put Vice City and Ballad of Gay Tony (yes the dlc was that good) before San Andreas.

Khajiit863914d ago

Just switch vice city with 4. For me the DLC and multiplayer in 4 put it slightly behind San Andreas.

I_am_Batman3914d ago

1. GTA Vice City (best GTA setting in my opinion)
2. GTA 3 (First 3D GTA - set the stage for future GTA games)
3. GTA 2 (My first GTA - Really fun and unique game.)
4. GTA 4 (Haven't played it a lot. Got bored quickly)

AceBlazer133914d ago

4 sucked only reason i wouldnt put it last is cause of gay tony

TrollCraftTales3914d ago

The only reason I really liked 4 is because of the DLC and the awesome ragdoll physics.. I could play it for hours just hurling myself off of random things :P

Kleptic3913d ago

I bought GTAIV on release day...I didn't finish the campaign literally until 2 weeks ago...bought the dlc package and already finished LaD, which was pretty good...and am nearly done with gay tony...

gay tony was good enough to be its own game imo...GTAIV's biggest problem was complete crap mission structures with all kinds of layered/scripted gimmicky shat...'chase this car'...didn't matter what car you had, and didn't matter how many rounds you pumped into who you were chasing...it would stay ahead of you until the game deemed it acceptable...lost and damned fixed most of that, and gay tony more or less removed it...

and gtaIV SUCKED with weapons...if it had the stryker from lost and damned, or the frag round equipped 12 gauge from gay tony...it would've at least been fun...but other than mindlessly running around, which was fun for 30 minutes in gtaiv...its still one of the most overrated games i've played...

superbhoy3914d ago

you do know san andreas was based in space... have you even played the game bai??? jk, lol

Anon19743914d ago

I'm in the same boat. I know many loved San Andreas but I just couldn't stand it. It wasn't the subject matter for me, it was just boring compared to the others. Lame characters, no story, irritating missions..just a painful slog all around that wasn't fun to play. Ugh. I tried multiple times to get into this game and just never could.

For me:
1: GTA4, hands down. Once you learn to ignore your phone, this game was a masterpiece. One of the best, adult video games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. Great plot, fun gameplay and characters that felt right out of the best episodes of The Wire/Sopranos.
2: Vice City (I'm an 80's kid)
3: GTA3
4: GTA 1&2
5: San Andreas. That's right. I had more fun with the 2d GTA games then I did with San Andreas. Those "defend your turf" missions where everyone just runs around like idiots were painful, and if I don't care enough about the game's plot or protagonists to want to get through the horrible missions, what's the point. Again, I know I'm in the minority here. Everyone seems to love the game but I've just never understood. Perfect Dark was another of those games that everyone went nuts about and I'd try, I honestly would, to get into these games but ultimately just couldn't force myself to like them. I'm sure everyone has a game that they tried again and again to like because everyone loved them but just couldn't do it. GTA4 really ended up being a love it or hate it type experience for a lot of people.

Looking forward to 5.

SaffronCurse3914d ago

Same for me, SA wasn't my cup of tea. I really wasn't into the rap stuff so it pretty much turned me away on multiple occasions.

I loved Gta3,VC, the PSP games and GTA IV.

Sketchy_Galore3914d ago

San Andreas was the only game in the main series that I hadn't played until I bought it recently on PSN and I have to say I haven't really been able to get into it. I don't even really know why. Maybe nostalgia is colouring my opinion of the older games but I've replayed them recently and they hold up well. I am not even out of the ghetto in San Adreas yet and I'm sure it will get better once I am but to be honest it's already feeling like a bit of a slog.

thelaughingwiseman3914d ago

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies16h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken11h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 3h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 3h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt14h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken11h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

GTA 5’s cut “James Bond Trevor” DLC was already part-shot, actor says

The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing693d ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos3d ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Demetrius2d ago

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy853d ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius2d ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
