ITT: Greatest GTA ever

ITT: Greatest GTA ever

Nah.

GTA has only gotten better with each iteration

V>IV>SA>VC>III

GTA3 is an ugly fucking shoebox.

I can respect this.

There's enough difference between V, IV, SA and VC for their relative placement to not mean much.

To the OP, I don't really see 3 as having anything over the other titles aside from nostalgia. Definitely still holds up today, though.

back when there was actually gangs and gang cars

You're correct about everything, but 4 is garbage.

I am SO tired of this stupid fucking thread. Every single time, "Oh hey Sup Forums!! GTA III is the best GTA ever!!" NO IT'S FUCKING NOT. GTA III is not, was not, and never will be the best GTA. The game was good for its time, but it was heavily overshadowed by Vice City and every game after. It had a horribly small map, poor driving controls, abysmal vehicle variety, boring and pointless missions, and the most boring protagonist this side of the Mississippi. Stop posting this bullshit thread every goddamn day. You will NEVER, EVER convince me that III was the best in the serious, so please, for the sake of my and everyone else's sanity, STOP.

>Most boring GTA protagonist ever

GTA 3 is really dated but I think it really is one of those "had to be there" feelings. If you were a console gamer and had only played the linear things on offer, the world felt so massive (and it was just getting out of the early 3d era) and you could approach missions in any way you wanted (parking cars to block alleys and break missions to make them easy was a favorite of mine) or ignore them altogether and it was incredible

I loved this car because I could go fast as fuck in it and not have to worry about crashing it.

You're right user. Vice city is GOAT.

Eat 'till you EXPLODE!

But 5 is fucking awful unless you only care about graphics.

III will always be one of my favorites games

good times

In a game like GTA graphics really go a long way.

V was more fun than IV

5 has great gun play. the city is somehow worse than IV, tho.

the north area is good, but the inner city feels lacking.

Shit taste

Mah fuckin nigga.

I don't see the appeal of Vice City. It's just "lel scarface references".

Ik what you mean, more cars and more pedestrians would be fucking awesome. Also if the streets felt more cluttered and alive. I can't wait until games can take in massive amounts of AI while still running reasonably well.

shit taste

IV>V

GTA III all the way


with all those Italian mafia movie references like goodfellas and the Godfather.

Really the only 3D GTA I can see myself going back to replay is San Andreas. That said;

>Haven't tried the two episodes from IV
>Started but didn't complete VC Stories
>Chinatown Wars and GTA2 still in backlog
