Finally, everyone can experience the 405.

You wanna see traffic, try getting from Virginia to DC. My brother lives in Woodbridge. That shit is bananas.

Just loaded up some GTA San Andreas. Gonna see what the games like now, a full 5 years after I stopped playing it.

Not nearly as bad as LA.

Goose!

I've never witnessed LA in person. Furthest west I've ever gone is Missouri.

Pharezon

LA traffic is king.

So people are still assuming it's Los Santos only?

I thought Mount Chilead was shown pretty clearly in the trailer - that's San Fierro's Badlands.

Unless they dare change that solid unchangeable fact.

Oh god the graphics in San Andreas are horrid. Even by 2004 standards.

dbrock270

Soundtrack's really good though.

Mr. G

I have decided to play GTA3, Vice City, San Andreas, 4, Lost & Damned, and Gay Tony again

I had to dig out a shitty 15 inch TV to do it, because PS2 games on nice HD TVs are blurry nightmares

You know how there's always that one thing that keeps you corralled in one part of the city during the early parts of a GTA game? In III it was the blown-up bridge, in VC it was a hurricane warning, in SA it was something I don't remember and in IV it was a terror threat.

I think in GTAV it should be that the highway is clogged solid with immobile car models.

I think it was an earthquake in SA

If you're one of these hip young PC gamers I hear so much about, they're bundled on Steam for a very small portion of your money.

Only thing is? The default controls seem to declare themselves an independant state from my gamepad.

To explain that tortured analogy, I'm saying the default controls on a gamepad are fucked.

RE: Earthquake

Correct.

They were selling every GTA game just a week or two ago for dirt cheap. Like $10 or less I think.

Officer Tenpenny had you quarantined to Los Santos. If you tried to skip town you'd immediately get a 6-star wanted rating.

PaperLuigi44

Haha, I'd forgotten about that.

I believe I stole a plane and tried (and failed) to make a run for it.

Just realised that I would love Falling Down to be referenced in this in some way. Because I love that film.

Yeeah. I tried to play it recently, too, and...

SA

Should I get Chinatown Wars for my iPhone?

SimBen

It's supposed to be really good, at least the DS version is. Got a whole lot of good press. Don't know about the iPhone version, but I'm gonna go with a tentative yes, but probably try to get the DS version if that's an option to you?

darleysam

I loved the DS version. I remember getting it through the post in the morning, sticking it straight into my DS, then suddenly it was getting dark outside and I realised I was very hungry.

The forklift made me chuckle.

See, I don't know if the graphics were that bad.

I mean every think looks clear enough, it was just cut scenes when it didn't look that flash.

Mr. G

Did you guys know

San Andreas is the best game

That's a real odd way to spell GTA IV.

Sweeney Tom

I wouldn't say any of the games are the best

They all each have unique qualities that make them fun and a joy to play

That said, I personally like GTA 4

Grey Ghost

The best GTA game is Red Dead Redemption

yes

Vice City is second best

then San Andreas

then Gay Tony

then GTA3

then GTA4/Lost and Damned

Hobnail

RDR all the way. Now gimme a sequel that starts with Jack in the middle of the Spanish Civil War and then spends the rest of the game roaming around pre-war Europe

Indie Winter

I want the next periodical GTAesque game from Rockstar, if there will ever be one again, to be set in Victorian times

Hobnail

Isn't that only a couple decades behind RDR?

Ehhhh, the only thing going for Vice City is Ray Liotta and the soundtrack, the rest of it is pretty awful.

And GTA III is better than GTA4? Really? Come on.

Indie Winter

GTA4 was a huge disappointment for me

like Oblivion after Morrowind, the gameplay mechanics mostly improved, but the world the game was set in was lacking. it felt empty and unfulfilled.

that's not to say I wanted Saints Row zaniness out of it, but I played GTA4 for the plot and the engaging characters. Once I got to the end, I stopped. The driving and shooting, the side missions and activities (other than going to a titty bar WIT YOR COUZIN), they just weren't rewarding on their own. With the previous GTA games, even after the plot was over, the game remained fun and engaging, flawed though their mechanics might have been.

I would be

completely fine

if they just took the gameplay and engine from RDR

changed the settings, recorded new voices and made a new plot

and just leave it at that
