Ive been wanting to have this discussion for a long time... mainly because i think
GTA:SA > GTA:4
First of all - I like what they did with the game making it more realistic, i like the cellphone idea, the comedy club, the fact its harder to get away with crimes...and a bunch of other stuff.... BUT
What happened? They completely left out Paramedic, taxi, firefighter, and vigilante missions??? I know you can chase criminals in a squad car but there is no reward for it? Also no barber or tattoos?? No gang territories or gang wars? It just feels like after you beat the game there isnt much to do, except call people up get wasted and drunk drive (yea i like that feature also). To me it feels like after you beat GTA:SA there is still a bunch of stuff to do, after beating GTA:4 i feel like the only thing to do is get wasted bone his girlfriend and search for hidden jumps....which isnt very fun at all :'(
Is anyone with me on this? Or am i totally missing something from GTA4 that just "makes it"?
-
GTA:4 im sorry is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than SA
The Multiplayer alone destroys SA
-
Well im talking single player only, and if you didnt know they've had "multi theft auto" online for years for PC
-
GTA4 is the best one ever made.
just all of the small extra things you can do, it makes it better, imo.
San Andreas was dope, but this one is just awesom-er. ;)
-
SA had a much better soundtrack

best soundtrack hands down was on Vice City...
but back to the question at hand... i think SA and 4 are almost two different games completely....
its like GTA3 and GTA SA... i think as they continue to make more they will visit that style of game in the future
-
there was definitely more shit to do in san andreas, but the game itself is so much better in 4. when you hit someone in your car they dont just die they get launched out into the street and shit. you cant beat that
-

yep. Plus the story is horrible. The mission design is crappy and uninspired compared to its preceedors. If you take the new graphics and physic engine away, Vice City and San Andreas kick GTA IV's ass.
GTA IV is not GTA anymore, the humour and satire is still there but not comparable to Vice City. It rather feels like all the other 08/15 games (except for the amazing world)
Plus they messed up the PC version, fuck you Rockstar you won't get me to buy a X-Box

yep, that's very important and totally egalises that they messed up the parts that made GTA so outstanding.

both are great games but SA is probably the greatest game ever. hands down, the story was so fun, from LA to the Bay to Las Vegas and Back, that was amazing. the soundtrack was great and the story was awesome. the only drawback was the graphics but oh well.
i'm still waiting for a GTA: San Andreas Stories. it seems inevitable

Dude if they re-made the GTA:SA map with GTA4 game design that would be the fucking shit

well im not a nerd who gives a fuck about the storyline, i go around and kill people and its more fun to do that in gta4 than san andreas

It scares me that people like you are not in a mental hospital. You're US citizen right? If I lived there, I would be even more scared, because there people like you can legally own weapons.
Btw, you haven't understood what the game is about.

for real San Andreas is my favorite game ever. GTA IV got boring real quick for me.

Glad to see a few people agree. I mean they obviously improved on GTA:4 but they just left so much good stuff out that they had in ALL THE OTHER ONES that it amazes me. And yes the GTA:SA map is the fucking best with the 3 cities.

Nothing better than cruisin with a plane through San Andreas.

i havent understood what the game is about? haha ok nerdboy youre right,how could i be so stupid? i have played all the gtas since gta3 (besides those psp ones) and beat them all, but because i prefer to just fuck aroundand kill people i dont understand the game?

Tell that to all the Game sites that rated GTA 4 best game ever hands down ;)
GTA 4 is MUCH better than SA just because of the storyline in 4. You get much more out of NIko than any other character before him. It's like you're watching a movie at deciding what the main actor/character is going to do next.
The storyline, graphics and gameplay are ALL much better than SA. I don't understand how people can hate on 4? Unless you're all about Gangs...than I can see why you might like SA more than 4.

Thug life bitch!! :scarface: :love:

you really think the story is better? I think it's very repititive: You get to know a new dude, make two or three missions for him, and then you have to decide if you kill him or his nemesis. OK, I was quite happy most of the time when I could kill one of the annoying characters, but what's that for a story when there are 100 protagonists and you kill 90 of them after a short while. Niko and Roman were ok, Niko has more character development than CJ or tommy (I still like them both more), but all other characters were absolutely annoying( like that Brucie or playboy X) That Manny guy was funny in the first cutscene, after the second, he was already unbearable.
I never felt the story, and I never felt 90% of the characters.
The characters in San An and especially in Vice City were so much better (Ken Rosenberg, or Ricardo Diaz as an example). Plus they had cool voice actors, like Samuel Jackson, MC Eiht, George Clinton or Axl Rose, that created atmosphere.
PS: It's not just because of the gang theme in San An, I think Vice City is a better game than IV.

Prefer the charachters in SA, also how much did Swizz Beatz pay to have that shitty track on one of the radio staions everytime you go on to it.

i was extremely dissapointed with IV, the graphics and such were nuts, but the game was way too easy and way too short, and not much secrets or to collect like the last two games.
SA had alot more features also. workingout, fixing up cars, etc.
-
one thing that pissed me off about gta 4 is how nobody fucks with you. im not saying gta 4 needed gang shit like san andreas, but i mean there should be certain areas where you can get jumped at night and shit. also i think it would be cool if people stole cars at red lights

y not gangs? there were gangs in all vice city, III. but i dont think they should have the whole "turf" concept like san andreas because thats what made it different, but i wouldnt mind gang territories like they had in III and Vice
-
they've had gangs since the beginning of grand theft and they just somehow left it out lol...glad some people see the point i was trying to make. im no tsaying GTA:4 sucked it was a great game i was just dissapointed they left stuff out...oh and my fav char in GTA4 was probably brucie lol...just because he was a spaz and he was always working out or something...i usually dont watch cutscenes in games but i always watched his lol.
