@@joellouisfire For its time, the things you could do and interact with, in SA, was completely mindblowing. Compare that with GTA V where the only buildings you can enter are very specific shops and properties. GTA San Andreas deliberately did NOT output the max graphics it could, and focused more on gameplay. But lately Rockstar and most big companies, completely max out the graphics to the last drop they can squeeze out of the game, they also max out draw distance and size of map, at the expense of everything else. RDR 2 is a game that came out in 2018 AD , and it consistently falls below 20 fps in lots of places, for crying out loud.
@nikoskabbadias5 жыл бұрын
@Lucien You have heard of consoles, right? The biggest gaming community? But even in PC, when you choose lower graphics that doesnt create content which could utilise the spare processing power. It just increases framerate, up to a certain point. When a game is designed for PC, they target certain system capabilities (hence minimum and recommended specs). Those finite specs , they choose to use in the way that they do. If I want my game to be able to play on a 1080, I will have to go by 1080s limitations. If 1080 can render 1.000 polygons at a time, and I want one character and some buildings in the game, I can have a character with 200 polygons, and 10 buildings of 80 polygons each = 1.000 or a character with 500 polygons , and 10 buildings with 50 polygons each = 1.000 and so on. Another factor is drawing distance. The more buildings have interior that is interactive and well designed, the less good they will look on the outside and the less drawing distance you will have. Everything is connected, and to gain something you have to sacrifise something else. When GTA V came out everyone was talking about how far you can see, how high you can fly ( drawing distances) , how big the map is and how beautiful the graphics. Thats because the developers focused on those aspects. If they focused more on things being interactive (like being able to enter more buildings , having more mini activities, more things being interactive/ destructable) have no doubt that people would be praising that.

The controller support is also quite poor, it uses the same mechanics as touch when you are using a controller, for example shooting is retarded with a controller and some buttons are in the wrong places when you are using a PS3 controller. This is all from my personal experience btw, except the finishing game bug i talked about.

Great review. It's difficult for me to choose which is the greatest game of all time between GTA San Andreas, and Red Dead Redemption. If i had a gun to my head, i think i'd have to give that title to San Andreas. Both games were masterpieces, but San Andreas blew people away with it's sheer scope. I can't think of any other game that packed as much content into one game, and did it so well. The missions were all fun, and kept the story going at an exciting pace. The map was incredible in both size and variety. Every place had it's own unique feel, and while it is dated by today's standards, it was mind blowing at the time. GTAIV and V are both great games as well, but are missing most of the cheats and over the top features that made San Andreas so much fun. Gone are the ability to control the trains, and crazy cheats that added so much to the free roam. Vice City was great as well, but most of it was due to the undeniable feeling of nostalgia that was driven by the music and atmosphere that made up the map. San Andreas was equally as effective in delivering on the nostalgia as Vice City was, and in my opinion took it to another level. Last but not least, San Andreas delivered more hours of pure fun than any game i have EVER played. Rockstar overwhelmed you with a relentless attack on your senses.

Or maybe they're just busy making GTA VI so they fund the development with GTA Online? GTA V took 5 years to make. GTA VI will probably be insanely good, given the 8-9 years of development time it will take.

What's even more interesting about San Andreas is that it's the Grand Theft Auto title with the most cut content. There's plenty of videos on KZbin that show how much stuff didn't make it into the finished product and they're still finding cut features to this day. If they had implemented everything the game would've been even larger and would've probably been the biggest videogame of it's era. This game really had it all...
@TotallyNotASpy15 жыл бұрын
@Jon Jones fan That was the main problem, if they had implemented all of the cut content the game would've needed two CDs. Still, would've really been interesting to see everything the developers had planned into the final product.

As a kid i was just rampaging,years later i finally finished the story and loved it. My favourite GTA, Vice City takes the second spot.

The sound, atmosphere, and radio station are subjective, but SA has better music variety. SA does look a bit worse, but that only because it has 10x the amount of shit going on compared to VC.

Sometimes forgetting to eat or take a bathroom break(especially when i am at the peak of beating a hard mission). I will always love this game. But i wish they bring a remastered.
