claygurnz: Favourite GTA Game (Main series, GTA III onward)

claygurnz 07.05.16	San Andreas GTA IV GTA V GTA III Vice City (Never got into this one as much, still a great game)
protokute 07.05.16	From the ones I played the most: San Andreas >>>>>>> V > IV, haven't played vice city so much
brainmelter 07.05.16	San Andreas and Gta 3/ Vice city are life
SpiritCrusher2 07.05.16	san andreas and vice city ftw
Typhoon24 07.05.16	loved 4 (best ending) and 5. 3 was solid too
protokute 07.05.16	All you had to do was follow the damn train, Cj! Feelins'
SpiritCrusher2 07.05.16	u a busta CJ! straight busta!
Calc 07.05.16	GTA II
TumsFestival 07.05.16	III forever yeah
bloc 07.05.16	"I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda."
AlexKzillion 07.05.16	Got San Andreas a couple months ago and played like one mission, need to hop back on it soon.
Masochist 07.05.16	San Andreas is the only one I've ever played to the very end, and it was incredible all the way through. Sam Jackson helped. Here's my ranking: GTA: San Andreas GTA V GTA Vice City GTA GTA III GTA IV GTA II I'm one of the few who will put GTA III that low, but as cool as it was, Vice City improved on it so much in terms of giving character and a real identity to the setting that that's where I really fell in love with it. And the original GTA was super fun, I don't care what people say. GET YOUR ASS BACK TO THE PHONES
50iL 07.05.16	GTA IV > GTA V > San Andreas. Unfortunately, those are the only ones I've played through. Now that I think about it, I need to get back to playing some GTA...
Snake. 07.05.16	GTA V GTA IV San Andreas GTA III Vice City
FadedSun 07.06.16	Not sure if it's mainline, but I dig Chinatown Wars. I love the topdown GTA games.
Sinternet 07.06.16	my favourite is IV
bloc 07.06.16	Not much love for GTA 2 sadly. That game is easily one of my most played games of all time.
FearThyEvil 07.06.16	Favorite is Vice City and IV following closely behind.
Veldin 07.06.16	They're all great games and I've dabbled in them all thanks to the HD collection on PS4, but I'd have to say V is my favorite because it's the one I've played the most.
Iamthe Nightstars 07.06.16	V's soundtrack was so shitty.
Sinternet 07.06.16	how the hell can you put 4 last
claygurnz 07.06.16	lol for real
Motiv3 07.06.16	SA > V > III > Vice City > IV
Zig 07.06.16	SA is the best. Never played V.
DinosaurJones 07.06.16	I played the shit out of 3, but going back and playing it now, it isn't as fun to me anymore. They're all still fun, but I think I played IV the most and connected with it the most. I'd probably go with VI > V > SA > III > Vice City
Sinternet 07.06.16	V has the best gameworld, purely because technology allowed it to have so much going on and made it feel a lit more alive, but what makes or breaks a gta game for me is the main characters, and i thought V was one of the worst. Aside from Franklin i really didn't connect with them, especially when compared to Niko and CJ in IV and SA.
Sinternet 07.06.16	Man how can you always be so wrong
StarlessCore 07.06.16	yeah IV was a massive step in the wrong direction and one of my least favorite rockstar games San Andreas Vice City V III IV
guitarded_chuck 07.06.16	San Andreas for me
JeetJeet 07.06.16	IV gets so much flack and I never understood why. Sure its no San Andreas or Vice City but the gameplay itself was fun.
MuhNamesTyler 07.06.16	San Andreas best story/ campaign Gta5 online is best hands down tho, I think most people that hate it are butt hurt pussys who dunno how to deal with other players online and let themselves get trolled or are too stupid to figure out how to make money and enjoy the game
Calc 07.06.16	"IV gets so much flack and I never understood why." it's called counter-culture.
TheSpaceMan 07.06.16	San Andreas
TheSpaceMan 07.06.16	anyone who says otherwise is wrong
jagride 07.06.16	all the PS2 era games were unfuckwithable but none of the subsequent ones blew me away like III did. still dig the grimy foggy atmosphere and play it in short bursts from time to time
tectactoe 07.06.16	Vice City is and always has been my favorite. It was so immersive. It was the only one where I actually KNEW the layout of the map - I didn't even need the GPS circle after a while. I also don't understand the hate for IV, I thought it was a great game even though your cousin Roman is annoying as fk.
protokute 07.06.16	Just started playing Vice City. Any tips for a better experience?
tectactoe 07.07.16	Turn trails off. Download a map and try to learn the cities, where they're located relative to each other. It'll make for a better experience. If you're playing on PC, you can find mods to update the graphics, otherwise it'll certainly look dated on a console.
protokute 07.07.16	Yeah, I downloaded some stuff to fix some bugs, and to update some of the graphics, but nothing that it would drastically change the feel of the game, and i like it how it is. The map seems to be really short though.
tectactoe 07.07.16	The map is the smallest of the 3D GTA games, but that's part of what I love about it. It's more immersive to me, you can really REALLY get to know the areas of the map, even to the point where you memorize all locations. It's not nearly as impressive as the newer games in terms of content amount or size, but the feel of being on the coast, cruising around this beautiful peninsula... I just love it.
JeetJeet 07.07.16	lol I used to know soooo many jump-spots on the Vice City map. Would cruise around driving off ramps and shit all day.
parksungjoon 07.07.16	vice city >= san andreas > 3 > 5 >>>>>> 4
tectactoe 07.07.16	Yeah that was the best part. To this day, it's the only GTA game I've ever 100%'d
Snide 07.07.16	GTA 4 >>>>>>> All the others Best open world and best driving physics
parksungjoon 07.07.16	thats such a snide thing to say
Snide 07.07.16	Well I mean I am Snide But seriously I have such great memories with GTA 4.
parksungjoon 07.07.16	yeah it's easily the worst in the entire franchise though
tectactoe 07.07.16	the driving physics in GTA IV were so hard to get used to at first, but once I finally got the hang of them, it was weird going back to VC/SA. the upgraded physics are definitely better.
parksungjoon 07.07.16	it's pretty much the only thing that game did better than its predecessors (other than graphical fidelity i guess) while doing everything else worse
Snide 07.07.16	I could never get into VC / SA, the graphical style (even for the time) just annoyed me.
Snide 07.07.16	@Park: Not just the physics were better in GTA 4 (and the graphics), but Niko and Roman had great chemistry, the open world was fun, and the story was great (not as great as GTA 5, but the driving physics are meh in that game)
parksungjoon 07.07.16	" but Niko and Roman had great chemistry" nah, bland and annoying, trying way too hard to be serious, much worse than the interactions between the main character and half the cast in any of the previous games "the open world was fun" so was every other gta? "and the story was great" nah
Snide 07.07.16	"nah, bland and annoying, trying way too hard to be serious, much worse than the interactions between the main character and half the cast in any of the previous games" I don't know about that, Niko never really seemed try-hard in his serious character, and bar the "HEY COUSIN, WANT TO GO BOWLING" every five seconds Roman was endearing. "So was every other GTA?" Other than 5, no, I only enjoyed 4 and 5's open world. "Nah" I enjoyed the plot quite a bit.
tectactoe 07.07.16	actually the story was really the only think I didn't like about GTA IV. the graphics, physics, and map design were great. the missions were even pretty fun overall and nicely mixed. I just never felt engaged with the characters, AT ALL. very boring, imo.
Sinternet 07.07.16	gta 4 had the best story after SA, 5 was just weak and cliche
Sinternet 07.07.16	characters were the best thing about 4, Niko is the best main character in the series
Snide 07.07.16	GTA 5's story was a bit lacking, but damn I enjoyed the interplay between the three main characters. Shit was hilarious. Niko is the best main character in the series [2]
parksungjoon 07.07.16	"characters were the best thing about 4" if you are too young to have played the older ones, or simply do not enjoy having fun, yeah definitely
Snide 07.07.16	@park: I'm 23, I played the earlier GTA titles before 4 and I just really couldn't get into them. To me they were incredibly unpolished in a way I wasn't down for.
tectactoe 07.07.16	idk man. I think Vice City, San Andreas, Ballad of Gay Tony, and GTA:V all had more interesting/engaging/entertaining stories than IV. The Lost & Damned was Okay, I just didn't love the whole "biker" theme behind it (personal choice, I guess). III was weak as your character basically has no identity or much of a backstory (that matters, anyway). Story wise IMO: VC > SA > BoGT > V > TLaD = IV > III shrug.
Sinternet 07.07.16	Never dug 3 or VC much tbh, was too yoiung to play them at the time but i absolutely love SA and it's real close to 4 imo but 4 is where i have the most memories and i will defend it to the death
parksungjoon 07.07.16	"but 4 is where i have the most memories and i will defend it to the death" q.e.d.
Snide 07.07.16	Honestly, 4 and 5 are the only GTAs I give a shit about.
tectactoe 07.07.16	i remember coming home from school to play vice city while blasting deja entendu in my room. good times. seriously though, VC's story was the best. Tommy Vercetti was a mf'n badass.
Sinternet 07.07.16	i'd love to see some remasters of the old gta games, like recreating them in the gta V engine, it would help me enjoy them more
tectactoe 07.07.16	^I've been wanting them to do that for VC ever since X360 first game out, but alas, it was not meant to be.
Sinternet 07.07.16	maybe next game in the series they'll go back to vice city, or at least back to the timeline
Snide 07.07.16	I'm more hyped for GTA VI and its rumored location of Tokyo tbh
Sinternet 07.07.16	ehh im kind of iffy on that i'd love a tokyo or japan based gta style game, but i wouldnt want it to be a gta game, for me gta is just america and the injokes and references are all american same as i'd love a london based gta style game
tectactoe 07.07.16	they did a London style gta game. edit: just not in three dimensions.
Snide 07.07.16	If they are going to do another American based location; it should be Colorado, for the fantastic scenery, varied environments and such.
Sinternet 07.07.16	yeah ik but a 3d one because i cant get into the 2d ones
Sinternet 07.07.16	i'd like them to do chicago
Tunaboy45 07.07.16	I want them to go to China as long as it isn't too similar to Sleeping Dogs that rumour involving Ryan Gosling, I want that
Sinternet 07.07.16	i just want sleeping dogs 2 tbh
tectactoe 07.07.16	I wouldn't mind another coastal/oceanic theme like VC, only bigger. But I also liked how SA had three distinct cities/places separated by vast open roads, wastelands, and highways. It was cool. One, gigantic cityscape pisses me off, tbh.
swipenet 07.07.16	I don't ever recall hearing Raining Blood in Vice City, but it's been a while.
swipenet 07.07.16	San Andreas doe mah nigguh
tectactoe 07.07.16	Love Fist or die
bloc 07.07.16	God dammit Lance, I was so shocked when he turned
christhjian 07.07.16	Haven't properly played 5 and Stories but San Andreas is still my favorite GTA, played it so much and loved most about it. Awesome game. Then would come Vice City, 4 and 3. GTA 4 I find very very overhyped.
SpiritCrusher2 07.07.16	"I don't ever recall hearing Raining Blood in Vice City, but it's been a while." V Rock man, that radio rocked pretty damn hard. Slayer, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, and some pretty cool glam shit
JeetJeet 07.07.16	They could have a GTA where you could play in America and Tokyo. Just have 2 protagonists with overlapping storylines. One is in Tokyo. The other is in America. Sounds like a doable concept.
Sinternet 07.07.16	i feel like that's a really cool concept but it juat wouldn't work in reality, they'd have to really make the links between the two strong and impactful and not just have a lazy hop between places shtick
swipenet 07.07.16	Yeah I mean I played V Rock all the time and heard Priest, Ozzy, Maiden, Anthrax, and Megadeth but for whatever reason can't remember Raining Blood. Almost certainly heard it though.
Tunaboy45 07.07.16	I want another Red Dead game before a new GTA
bloc 07.07.16	WAVE 103 is my fav station by far And speaking of radio in GTA games in general, I actually WANTED to listen to the commercials lol
Sinternet 07.07.16	i just want Bully 2 before Red Dead even maybe with an actually decent pc port this time
tectactoe 07.07.16	i can't believe GTA:V is still 60$ like wtf that game is old as shit.
Sinternet 07.07.16	thats probably just the PS4/XB1 versions though which came out later I got the PC version for £24 on sale a while ago though which is decent
protokute 07.07.16	San Andreas is just way more dense and richer in all aspects compared to Vice City, but VC seems to be a very good game on this own, the only thing that annoys me is how you can't aim your gun without shooting, I lose a lot of ammo just trying to hit someone.
miketunneyiscool123 07.07.16	Fuck GTA and the angry little 12 year olds who think they're cool for playing it.
miketunneyiscool123 07.07.16	At the very least, fuck GTA.
SpiritCrusher2 07.07.16	lol wow
tectactoe 07.07.16	Lol settle down bro it's just a game
DinosaurJones 07.08.16	Gee, I'm sorry I find something fun that you don't. I guess I have to apologize for the things I like now. Why don't you go ahead and post my 5s now too? If you need something else to be judgmental about.
TheSonomaDude 08.04.16	San Andreas has the best story, but either V or SA are the best games overall. Vice City has the best soundtrack tho.
beefshoes 08.04.16	Vice City has my favorite story and the best soundtrack, but V is the best game.
Sinternet 08.04.16	been replaying V recently and like it a lot more than i did when it came out
LeSonataWishPark 08.04.16	San Andreas and GTA V rape everything
majordevlin 08.04.16	I think was asked for a song from each soundtrack too so. GTA SA - faith no more Midlife crisis GTA V5 - C.W. McCall Convoy GTA VC - Laura Branigan - Self Control GTA VCS - Tie Dio - holy diver and Genesis - Turn it on again GTA 4 - Genesis -Mama GTA 3 - songs off the the reggae channel extra credit with other games like GTA Sleeping Dogs -John Robinson - channeling Saints row 2 - Life and Time - Coat of arms True crime of SOLA - Deftones - Minerva
claygurnz 08.04.16	Lol all my lists are being bumped for some reason today
Iamthe Nightstars 08.04.16	V is cool until you beat the game then there's not shit to do. You just have this huge map with nothing to do but drive around and shoot people. All the side missions are boring.
JeetJeet 08.04.16	I mean its not like there's an online mode where you can do various missions, play with friends, create crazy race tracks, etc.
jagride 08.04.16	yes, but single player which was always the bread and butter of the gta series is shallow. fair criticism
Iamthe Nightstars 08.04.16	Fuck online I don't have friends.
Parallels 08.04.16	Vice City has the most nostalgia for me but V is hands down my favorite
HypedMerchant 08.04.16	Story wise: IV, San, Vice, V, III As a game: V, San, Vice, IV, III. I'm more of a narrative-based gamer so IV is my favorite overall. I just read through these and I don't understand how people can thoroughly enjoy V's story. It has some interesting moments and the dialogue and bicker between characters is among the best in the series, but overall the main story just makes you hate all the main characters (besides Franklin) and in the end it's just a rehashed RDR "government is bad" type of story but completely dumbed down through the arrogant and irredeemable characters.
