My top 5:

1. GTA: Vice City (one of the best games ever made in my opinion, the 80's soundtrack, the scarface feel to it and much more, so awesome)

2. GTA: San Andreas
3. GTA: III
4. GTA: Liberty City Stories
5. GTA: IV

Derekvinyard134247d ago

amen to that brother. vice city was perfect

vickers5004246d ago

Loved the vibrant graphics on Vice City.

blitz06234245d ago

Vice City hands down. I'm surprised with all these HD collections coming out GTA hasn't had one yet.

jkuli64246d ago

Absolutely. Which is why we need an HD remake of Vice City!

tachy0n4246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

DAFUQ? i've played all GTA's im a huge GTA fan i actually own all GTA's, GTA San andreas is clearly better, conspiracies, huge map, etc, its the best gta to date.

roguewarrior4246d ago

Though i loved San An, Vice City is king. It was like playing "the best gangster movies from the 80s: The Game". R* nailed the atmosphere, Sound track, ect. Pure gaming goodness.

Outside_ofthe_Box4246d ago

Can't go wrong with SA or VC being number 1

For me

1. San Andreas
2. Vice City
3. GTA 3
4. GTA 4
5. Liberty City Stories

Pushagree4246d ago

Vice City was good, but it gets far more credit than it deserves. Even though it added a lot to the series in terms of voice acting and story, the gameplay was still largely unchanged from GTA 3. The aiming was broken, the clunky FPS right stick camera was still there, most of the buildings were not enterable, and the map was about the same size. San Andreas actually fixed everything that was wrong with the GTA series up to the point save for the bad car shooting controls. It had the whole package. A giant map, original story, full character customization, diverse soundtrack, every vehicle you could think of, an arsenal of weapons, endless cheats, gang turf wars, car customization, 2 player co op, and hours of sidequests and mini games. It so many things that even GTA IV couldnt add them all it when next gen hit. That should tell you how much of a powerhoused monster San Andreas was. It's the king of Sandbox.

MysticStrummer4246d ago

Vice City was the only GTA I didn't care enough about to finish. It's a good game and everything, but I don't understand the love it gets.

As for SA having so many features that they couldn't be put in GTA4...

Grand Theft Auto is perhaps my favorite game ever EVER, mybest gta games are

1-Vice City

2-San andrease

3 and 4- GTA III and GTA IV

vice city is the best ever, san andrease is huge,limitless, endless, GTA IV is the most polished, detailed and mind blowing\awe inspiring , GTA III is the 1st shocker

BTW im also a huge fan of rockstar north's or DMA's N64 Game called BODY HARVEST, it is a highly underrated classic

Chard4246d ago

Respect for acknowledging Body Harvest, bro.

hadouken1824246d ago

The series doesn't have enough games for this kinda list. This ain't final fantasy. Gtfo

Monkeycan84246d ago

there are 12 GTA's so I think that is a reasonable number.

KingofGambling4246d ago

San Andreas for me since that's the only GTA game that I finish.

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."

ChasterMies12h ago

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

just_looken7h 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

CrimsonWing6923h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker23h 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!

KyRo23h ago(Edited 23h 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.

CrimsonWing6923h ago(Edited 23h 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.

Profchaos19h ago(Edited 19h 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_Frampt11h 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_looken7h 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

CrimsonWing692d ago

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

Profchaos2d 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

andy852d 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
