What Made GTA 2 So Great?

[@TordaiJenoArthurJenci]

and remember respect is everything damnation no donation no salvation hallelujah another soul saved

[@PaliwoSpalone]

Elvis has left the building

[@Jar3xe]

'Remember, Respect Everything' Probably be an iconic quote of the whole Gta franchise if gta2 popular.... Its just memerizing to hear and represents gta as a whole

[@SneedFeedAndSeed]

'EA Games, Challenge Everything', makes games with the same exact formula each year

[@isatherebel1520]

It's great seeing u acknowledge this bro, I feel like people overlook GTA 2's advancements and the game itself because it's not a 3D game in the franchise, GTA 2 feels like the first true game in the series that introduces most of the elements that the games are known for today, examples like the story being centered on one protagonist, more fleshed out radio stations with the option to switch them, the respect system itself, a more solid plot, smoother controls and closely resembles the modern style of GTA's mission structure. Claude is also a badass character and this was always my favourite GTA game

[@Zolega89]

And remember Respect is everything!

[@FrancisDoubleA]

if rockstar going to implement respect mechanics from gta 2 to 3d or hd universe they're going to follow a similar path like FNV, would love to see it because seeing factions without intense political goal or being equally evil would be much more fun tbh

[@FlymanMS]

It's very interesting to see GTA genetics change throughout the course of original 2D and 3D games, keeping old elements while adding new features. And I still think that GTA 2 is the most underappreciated and less known GTA game and probably the craziest and most unique, I hope it gets some sort of reimagining one day, probably not by Rockstar but some dedicated fans. And while respect system is awesome, I think it's not necessary in GTA3 for story reasons. The mood of the game is more about inevitability than choosing your path in criminal underworld so the lack of real choice works thematically well.

[@D4rk3clipse]

I consider this game to still be the best GTA.

You won't here this from most people, but I would actually like to see a HD Universe Adaptation of Anywhere City someday. I think it should also be the only GTA Map not based on a real life location. Giving Rockstar Games full creative control over the map design.

[@hamstel4540]

Great video Gta 2 is in my top 5 of favorite Gta games out there. There is another game on Steam which is pretty good called Glitchpunk a spiritual successor to Gta 2 which I really recommend

[@skowerek]

The sad parts about gta 2 is being forgotten, old, tragic fate of the protagonist and lack of narrative depth GTA 2 is my childhood and favorite 2d games of all time

[@garok2412]

One of the most underrated games.

[@twinberwolves4231]

Interesting... the respect system was definitely a common thing in Rockstar's earlier games.

[@k_kubes]

The last time i remember where respect was used as a game mechanic was in GTA and Bully, in GTA SA you could only gain respect with one faction (Grove Street Families) so it wasn't like GTA 2, Bully, on the other hand, was way more similar to GTA 2 since you could earn respect between various groups and doing missions or other specific tasks would either gain or lose respect with a certain gang

[@pykor9386]

Rockstar didn't make the first two GTAs

Respect is everything. Rockstar knows this since they've had loyalist ditch them over GTAVI and GTA+.

Could you do a video on the most underrated GTA game of all time GTA Advance Please it’s great to see someone speaking about the Underrated 2D GTA Games

[@H0rHe]

I did one a couple of months back called "Rockstar's Game NOBODY Plays". But I'd like to make more on that game.

Remember, the people who this game are gone and publicly said gta 6 wont be the same saterical environment

Bring back the line of Elvis impersonators, missed opportunity not to put them in Las Venturas in San andres

[@humanharddrive1]

dude i love gta 2, you should play in night mode though.

[@tomasplunksnis1087]

It’s great… As long as it’s the PS1 version with save states (on DuckStation)… Because the PC version is too difficult…

[@bjorn8919]

Never played the PS1 version but the PC version definitely also has a save method (Jesus Saves buildings). It's not the best system ever, but it is there.

[@obviousalexc]

I'd honestly love to revisit anywhere city. Maybe they could use it to explain some of the futuristic stuff.

[@chris-zd9sr]

I feel like this style was intentional for the power of the ps1 and to make it slightly less controversial than what happened when it movrd to 3d

[@relewave]

1:30, that glitch is only available on the PS2 version of the game. on PC, the infamous plane flying over the ocean glitch corrupts only corrupts some areas in the game, but it screws over the zone terminators.

[@AlexCantTalk]

great video brother! keep up the good work!

[@thickt]

The score number really making dizzy seeing them pop just like that

[@MrRamel89]

I love this Gta

[@RuslanKvitnevyi]

The gang mechanic was fun and surely missed

[@Alexander.alhaidairy]

In my opinion I don’t think gta 2 is retro futuristic I mean yea the cars are continuation cars that are English from the 30s and 50s which is happening in real life especially now and the radio music is mostly just 2000s music So cyberpunk is more like a futuristic dystopian Chicago with cyberpunk elements

[@Alexander.alhaidairy]

It’s an amazing game but it’s hard everytime I got caught by the cops I almost broke my computer

[@mr.andrew7820]

@@Alexander.alhaidairy yes,but some of the music like "the dinner" are reminiscent of the 50s, early Rockstar seemed to have a weird fascination with Elvis(like Billy Bob Dean or Elvis has left the building and several NPcs based on him)that was present until Liberty City Stories,and GTA 2 predicted the Future with the old cars coming back💀, can't wait to have my own Z type and do weird shit for lunatics and clinically insane in a Blade Runner city
