2006 zoomer

older millenial brother tells me I must play GTA IV

"you have no idea how good the world once was"

it's shit on PC so I don't bother

he shows up to my house randomly and hooks up a PS3 and basically forces me to play it

I'm about halfway through and it's one of the most melancholic experiences I've ever had with any piece of media. The radio is constantly mocking trannies, racism is irrelevant, sexism is a meme, and the internet wasn't ran by corporations yet. I don't remember much of it at all, does GTA 4 accurately portray 2000s culture? And why wasn't it sustainable long term?

I hate this game's stupid pc port
I hate OP too for reminding me about it

yes, that's why r* won't acknowledge it, remaster it, re-release it in any way

GTA4 is the best game ever made.

we have literal trannies in our studios now and take two can't be gay enough, what do you think happened?

in fact it's the only gta they haven't done so since gta got big

oh my God who the hell cares! I'm only ironically transphobic racist and misogynist

You're the problem.
I hate zoomers so much it's unreal.

Man driving in GTA 4 was a pain in the ass, I basically went everywhere on a goddamn motorcycle.

I like this game fine on PC. The radio is meant to be an outrageous joke. The story is basically Lord of War meets the Sopranos.

You do know you can mod PC version to make it run better than the PS3 version right?

weird, I loved the "realistic" (kek) driving they did but hated it on the bikes

It's almost overwhelming, the amount of tranny jokes you're bombarded with throughout the game. Like again I wasn't there but it seems ahead of its time when compared to the Republican Space Rangers Bush era stuff.

And the trannies! Well, don't even get me started on the trannies. It's science run amok. Okay? It's very confusing. I'm looking at a woman, I'm talking to a woman, I see the woman's penis - now I'm confused! I don't know what's going on!

The government is turning into a confused transgender prostitute. I mean, it really is! You know, they don't know who to serve! You feel terrible afterwards, you have an overwhelming feeling that everything in your life is horribly wrong. YES, it feels good while you're doing it. YES, you're making him/her feel good. But still, it's WRONG.

I have a feeling this is why they haven't bothered to remaster the game.

Not an accurate analogy. It’s Lord of War meets Boondock Saints starring a Serb. Way too many micks to be sopranos and not enough self deprecation

I don't think gta 1, 2 or London got a remaster and tbf it's modern enough to not benefit at all from a remaster.
and they would only fuck it up like they did with the earlier ones.

It still runs worse than even gta 5 enhanced.

gta4 had the most realistic driving of any gta, 5 was a massive step backwards.

no wonder Anon Babble loves nigger gtaIV instead of comfy vice city

GTA V is an abomination compared to IV and a downgrade in nearly every single way.

Vice City had too many jews in it. Even the protag is a quasi jew wap and the game pairs you with an annoying jew lawyer with no Sal Goodman redeeming qualities

I like gta 4 driving because the cars feel like they have real weight, plus the car damage effects are a lot more detailed.

since gta got big=since gta 3

No one hetrosexuals likes homosexuals in person or ever wante them around their kids. Nothing has changed dispite 50 years of people being told they are wrong people are just told its thought crime now by homosexuals. The wave of immigrants from hindu India and the Muslim nations is not acceptable. They come as minimum wage low IQ would be colonists and percieve the citizens of the nations they come to as suckers for letting them in via educational and asylum visa schemes and that is new, that si a real change.

gta5 feels like playing low gravity plus the peds die way too easily light a gunshot to the foot or a fender bender. sometimes no car destruction even when you ram something at high speed.

He’s like if Howard Stern wasn’t a boring obnoxious kosher douche bag

Besides a bit of bad performance, what's wrong with the PC port?

The Grand Theft Auto series peaked with San Andreas, but yes GTA from 3 on was designed as a parody of American culture by Irish retards and most importantly, Lazlo, who is the beating heart of the series they cut out.

You do realize that they are neo-liberal developers making their portrayal of right wing Americans as a mockery, right? It's supposed to be a joke - not "based".

Cpu temp skyrocketing

Vice City

Pablo knows

GTA: SA was a laugh. IV might have been fun on release but it doesn't hold up except... except for some of the attention they put into ordinary objects like water barrels interacting with bullet-holes and such. That shows some care. Rockstar kind of kept up that mentality with Red Dead.
GTA SA was funny for the retard gangsters killing each other over weed but everything after that has been just trash from a gameplay perspective. If you have zero imagination and want to get your pathetic frustrations out by stealing cars and murdering bankers and laughing off the most incompetent and ineffective police imaginable, then fine. "The ordinary world but you're unstoppable for no reason other than you're badass" is such a shit concept and anyone with a brain knows it's tired

gta was pretty big from the start my dude.

I've played the original version on steam on three different computers and half the time it just gives you a black screen, you can't look around on foot with the right analogue stick either, it's pretty shit unless you mod a bunch of stuff in.

I blame Saint's Row.
The series took what early GTA did right and cranked it up to 11, and while it lacked the "reality" of GTA, it drew the attention of Rockstar who decided to go in the opposite direction.
As a result, the vibe of GTA was altered and retardified in an effort to distinguish further entries from Saint's Row by leaning more heavily into reality than was necessary.

nigga gta went from selling 2 million units to 14 and a half million from gta 2 to gta 3 that's obviously whats meant by since it got big. stop acting stupid

like water barrels interacting with bullet-holes and such

you mean like in 1999's medal of honor? lol. i love those details tho, show care indeed

youtube.com/watch?v=xtxjm7ciwmc

don't talk shit to me Nigger. Those 3 million sales for the first GTA made it big from the start and apart from the sales it had big time cultural impact.

V is zoomercore and alphas' first game
VI will be pure dog shit niggerworship

Are there any other reasons it may not have gotten big besides trannies and space rangers? Theyve always had that parody radio and shit

Saint's Row at least played the premise out logically as the series progressed

you're an indestructible super-human tireless killer anyway just give you literal superpowers

your crime empire is so openly brazen just start branding yourself as a stupid company anyway

GTA tries to give you a power fantasy but play it off as plausible too, and the combination feels insulting to me.
Saint's Row is dead now since any brains behind the franchise must have been blown out one way or another

4 was my first on the 360

t. 2002 Zoomer

Try again, bud.

bad performance? it was literally unplayable with the top hardware of the time

This is a bot thread. I've seen this same exact post months prior.

GTA4 isn't as fun as the previous PS2 era gta games were. SA is huge and has so much stuff to do. VC has the best atmosphere. 3 is just ok,

Any non-retard would know what I meant by, "since it got big." GTA3 dwarfs all of its predecessors combined. I can't believe this is difficult for you.

the PC version now is basically broken and won't save unless you search around for a fix

won't save without GFWL

so make sure you install GFWL

GFWL was last updated in 2014

oh I checked maybe you have to buy the game again as a different version

lol what the fuck were your parents thinking letting you play a GTA at that age?

3 was mostly a beta of the new style.
GTA 1,2 and London were unplayable.
It's a skipper.

I played GTA3 when I was 10. My parents knew I wasn't a psycho killer so they let me play it.

4 will always be the best. 5 was unreal engine simulator.

The version I installed a month ago seems to run fine, installer comes premodded so not sure how bad it's supposed to be? I was also 30 when it came out the first time so not sure what all the fuss is about; the 90's were the best time to be alive.

any non retard would know what I meant by "it was big from the start" GTA 1 was top of the UK sales charts for 76 months in a row and hit 6 million sales by 2001. I can't believe you're finding this so difficult.
anyway since you are so smooth brained you ain't getting another you out of me.

GTA 1,2 and London were unplayable.

get gud faggot.

dynamic overhead camera means you can see five feet in front of you when driving slow and thirty feet in front of you when driving fast in a game that encourages fast driving.

Not worth playing, aged like milk and was pretty shitty when it was current.

No 3, Vice City, San Andreas

Ngmi
I used to babysit a kid born in 2012, he loves V, can't wait for VI

Bully was the platonic ideal of what Rockstar is capable of and will never be improved upon by them.

GTA1 didn't sell 6 million copies you ignoramus and damn that ain't shit compared to GTA3 lmao

dynamic overhead camera means you can see five feet in front of you when driving slow and thirty feet in front of you when driving fast in a game that encourages fast driving.

yeah that's exactly what you need a top down camera to do in that situation, if you're covering more distance you need to see further.
Ok the top down camera wasn't great, but the game was still ground breaking for having an open world map.

Bully was great

You're talking to people who get violently ill when playing in first person

yes it fucking did you albino faggot.
and sure 3 was bigger but that doesn't mean that 1 wasn't big

For that genre, yes, but Halo 3 is the king otherwise.

best game ever made is command and conquer red alert

You're older than my dad

Zelda did it first and better.
GTA didn't get even remotely playable until Vice City.

why are you even arguing what something as subjective? for a zoomerfag gta got big with sa, it's all ego on an anonymous forum. mind your bile anons

Loved SR 2 & 3 as a kid (11) back in 2012, Saints Row 3 just came out and I was on my shitty PC using Onlive (pretty much wifi based gaming), it was fun as hell but it got played out.

I pirated Saints Row 4 when it came out and it was retarded, the alien simulation shit was too much. I want an open world map where I can just roam and do crazy shit. Make it realistic and keep woke modern society shit out of it.. people are already defending GTA 6 saying "ohhh they're just parodying real life, this is based on the 2020s" I'll wait for gameplay footage and a few years after the PC port to buy it on sale for dirt cheap...or just fitgirl it

I liked how claustraphobic IV felt, buildings and tight alleyways filled with trash at every turn. Played it so much, it fills me with nostalgia. I know it's not what gta fans want but I'd love another 'grounded' gta like IV where you're just as vulnerable as npcs, have to conceal weapons on you with better gunplay.

Was so cool to shoot the last enemy and see one of them still alive on the ground

Don't forget, in GTA IV the environment while on foot is more than just squares you stand behind.

I think people forget up until that point combat in GTA was locking on, shooting until the other guy's health bar was empty, while hoping your health bar didn't empty first, because 100% of shots were going to hit you unless you broke line of sight entirely.

it's not like rockstar were some small time indie developer making games that sell in the thousands and then they switched up, no their games were madly successful from the start and created a media shit storm. The success of 1 and 2 had already given the brand the mistique that carried over into 3 and made it a massive success.
fuck of with the subjective nonsense argument, do you want to hear how it actually went down at the time or just some gen z/gen a revisionism?

well if you're going to be like that then Metroid was the actual first.
desu I thought Zelda sucked ass.

Just bought GTA IV CE 3 days ago on Steam. It's on sale for like $4.50. I just remembered playing this the pirate way back then and thought it was just ok. I also always thought this game is inferior to GTA V and it's just millenials and Xoomers sperging anything old > new but man I was wrong shit got me hooked right off the bat. Now, I tried replaying GTA V but couldn't get past after that nigger Franklin's first mission (stealing a car lol) and then I uninstalled it right away. GTA V felt soulless compared to this, playing it again is so unnecessary unlike GTA IV.

Also I really don't get how half the people here have performance issues with the game on PC. Even before installing a bunch of performance tweaking mods, it runs fine for me.

vice city has too many annoying jews in it with no redeeming qualities

So, you don't like the game because it is too accurate? What the fuck I must be on Anon Babble, could've sworn this was pol

You're the problem because you are mentally ill and trying to convince people they're the ones that are wrong.

GTA 4 was boring as fuck and lacked anything to really do. GTA 5 was a slight improvement. GTA san andreas was the best one by FAR. That had endless shit to do and go explore.

why you keep posting this thread?

This is just another example of why millenials can’t take zoomers seriously. You never existed in a world where sanity existed. Probably boomers feel this way about millennials as well. It’s just the way works, I reckon. However, the world went on a speedrun from 1990-2010. You used to grow up in a neighborhood, and maybe you went to college or something, but more or less the people in your town were the people you knew for life. The internet made global communication possible, and millenials just so happened to be the ones growing up when it happened. Zoomers are sorta in the middle of that as well, but really they’re after the fact. Zoomers and boomers have that in common. Time sorta came back to a stand still for these generations. 2010 and 2020 aren’t that different. Not really. Not in the same way that 2000 was insanely different from 2010. Idk that any generation has ever experienced such dramatic change in such a short amount of time during their developmental years. We went from playing capture the flag with th bros outside, to trolling to pajeets on the other side of the globe in just a few years. It used to be exciting to hear about new games or computers, because the progress was profound. Now the progress is so pozzed they’re just releasing old games we grew up with with marginally better graphics. You guys just don’t know man

They removed this track. I kept waiting for it to come on Vladivostok FM but nothing, same 5 songs ever time. What a bunch of cucks. Thank God for mods that can put all tracks that was removed back in.

No better feel than getting headshots with the Springfield sniper online on COD WAW

wrong, wrong, wrong. that was the era that gay sjw shit was taking off into the stratosphere, and if you're being honest about your playthrough of gta iv then you haven't gotten to the "PROTECT THE GAYS FROM THE EBIL NAZIS AT ALL COSTS!!!" subplot. the dlc is called the ballad of gay tony ffs and the game is about some euro trash immigrant "making it" in the usa.

True 4 had all the quality but none of the options, was such an empty map. Unfortunately with 5 you had all sorts of shit to do but they watered down all the systems that made 4 good + the writing sucked.
SA still remains the best they ever made.

Play San Andreas

I could never make the leap to 4 and the realism route the series took

all gta is aspirational drug dealer faggot nonsense and iv is fucking garbage too, you guys are a bunch of mid twenties retards fondly remembering the 2000s like it was this golden era when in actual fact the aids rot had already firmly sunk in and everything was coming to a head into the modern timeline of homosexual brown shit slurry garbage featuring infinity jeets in your country just because

Best open world RPG is Morrowind

Apparently that’s why my parents never took me to Florida on vacation.

VC/SA were the picotop of Grand Theft Auto
downhill only from there

I would love to but they removed the real version on Steam. They're forcing you to buy the watery shart that is Definitive Edition made by brightly-colored hair faggots.

mid twenties

You flatter me

Watch:
youtube.com/watch?v=SVyiWuQ8Wes

It was jeets tho
Pirate the PSP iso and play on your phone or run PPSSPP on a toaster, that's the closest to original you'll get

Don't worry anon, I knew you meant GTA3 :)

GTA 5 in the first release cycle during 2013 was still pretty edgy, especially compared to most of the censored dogshit they push now. 2012 really was the last fully sane year before they went all in with woke & eradicating all entertainment actually being entertaining.

It could be both. Trying to see if the original is on GOG and if it got jew'd I think there are mods that can restore it like it was on launch day, the way it was meant to be played. I'm averse to playing games on emus, something about them is off.

It's perfectly ok to pirate, they don't deserve money for fucking up their own games and selling you the carcass

imagine paypigging for games on steam
the version you can get from fitgirl runs just fine on my integrated graphics (get around 40fps)

Hell yeah I'd rather do that than go through hoops for emus or playing the extremely Jewish definitive edition.

The goat GTA game and I will die on this hill aside from not having rural areas and mission variety it's nearly perfect It's a nightmare to play without modsJust pirate the original 3d trilogy m8 there are plenty of mod packs for it to play in modern systems

I need achievements

This is a repost. In fact a very old copy pasta.
Why are you doing this anon?

The radio is constantly mocking trannies, racism is irrelevant, sexism is a meme, and the internet wasn't ran by corporations yet.

This is verbatim. What the fuck?

OP is a gigantic faggot
look at picrel

OP for some reasons posts this on 17, 18 and 28th of every month or so.

What are you doing OP? What the fuck?

And what the fuck Anon Babble for generating all this nonsense replies to this failure of a human being
get a grip

Wtf bot OP ??

i think GTA is real life

You're a fucking idiot mate.

What the fuck OP? Come clean. Why are you doing this? You have nowhere you can go now.

I don't have the pc port but I have heard they lost the licenses for a lot of the music so the radio stations suck ass.

OP it's been years, are you still halfway through?

best open world rpg is MGS

fuck off dad

It's really making a comeback.
Multiplayer was still up last i checked.

I need achievements

retard
play the fucking game

It's copy pasted.

lel zoomer needs his gay dopamine

I hope you both get bitten on your balls by a huge ass spider and have complications

Integrated graphics

Ah the old Fox and the Grapes eh? You can get old games on steam too.

Gabe doesn't need another yacht

are you retarded
i have a gaming pc, but I don't use it for gta4, minecraft or any other low intensity games

Did you ask him?

Are you? You didn't mention the other PC you lying cunt

Halo isn't the best anything.
That whole series is fucking retarded.
the only reason people fawn over it now is because it's combat was a much more accessible Unreal Tournament knockoff and it was the first big console game to have split screen co-op and multiplayer that didn't suck.
Everything else about those games is mediocre.

The latest GTA game has become a documentary of daily life in America.

Spam post, slide thread

some of the games in that era were making fun of right wingers, overstating gay issues and what u just see is it played out exactly like anti-gay ppl said it would
trannies were nowhere to be found back then, so they weren't making fun of them, they were making fun of so-called right wing hysteria

The Grand Theft Auto series peaked with San Andreas

GTA SA

SA sucked shit - just a bunch of random ass, half-baked dogshit missions
millenial fags love their nigger content

You do realize that they are neo-liberal developers making their portrayal of right wing Americans as a mockery, right? It's supposed to be a joke - not "based".

this...exactly what i said but few understand
they were making fun of right wing hysteria over gays but it turns out they were right since r* is full of trannies now
