...Did I stumble into a late 2000s IGN comment section?

San Andreas is probably my favourite GTA game and the one in which I've not gotten bored with. To this day I still have hours of fun playing it. Having said that, it was somewhat different than GTA III and even Vice City which were more crime-focused and realistic about things (relatively speaking). San Andreas had a few more over-the-top missions that took it into the realm of semi-fiction in which we have a story with a realistic setting and protagonist, but also have some over-the-top missions like Black Project where CJ did the original raid on Area 51 before it was cool. GTA, if it had any objective roots, was always a crime drama video game series, and GTA IV and TLAD matched these somewhat because Niko was a hitman and Johnny was an outlaw biker. Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories were focused on both mafia and drug empire expansion (at least in the second portion of the latter game), and Chinatown Wars, though I've not played it, sounds like a Triad-themed game. The point I'm making is that most GTA games have some sort of criminals in a particular area of crime. GTA III went with the theme of being a hitman with no loyalties, while Vice City went with the theme of being a mobster establishing his own drug and criminal empire with some legitimate properties, albeit with some dodgy practices (such as drug dealing ice cream or counterfeiting cash at the printworks). GTA IV returned to the hitman theme, and TLAD went with the biker theme which was quite a nice change. TBOGT is a bit hard to say really since it's somewhat of an outlier in that it's more focused on working for mobsters due to personal issues with your boss rather than your own agendas. In fact Luis is consistently wanting to not be involved with crime. Even GTA V went with the street hoodlum, retired bank robber and dodgy criminal businessman. Granted it missed a few areas, especially since you became government stooges at some points. Even so, that's dealing with government corruption. So how does this relate to San Andreas? Well, considering that the game started out as a street hoodlum in a 1990s black street gang, we're already on a good start. Lots of the first portion of the game involves doing jobs just to rebuild your gang. The change happens when you leave Los Santos and start becoming somewhat of an errand boy for a few people just to build a new life for yourself. You do work for Woozie and the triads, but your aims at that point is stopping Big Smoke getting his flow of drugs to Los Santos. Then in the desert and Las Venturas section you're doing dirty work for Toreno, which unlike V is for more ambiguous causes and thus cannot be put down to corruption, and then you finally start doing something crime related again with a secret heist and working for the mob. Then you return to Los Santos to do more gang work, but not before helping a disgraced rapper getting back on track. It's more of a mixed theme story unlike III and Vice City, which kind of works since we are dealing with three cities rather than one. Sorry for the long post, but the point I ultimately wanted to make was that you cannot suggest San Andreas was the last true GTA based on the fact it is remarkably different in it's themes compared to the other games. It's not just focused on one criminal aspect, but rather takes a multitude of themes. San Andreas is very different to most other GTA games. That's what makes it so special really. It's still recognisable as GTA, but it's also trying it's own thing. Atmosphere is a very important aspect of the series, but I think what ultimately forges GTA's identity is not just it's satirical take on quintessential American pop culture, but the criminal themes to it. The title is quite literally named after a crime in fact. So to say San Andreas was the last true GTA is somewhat disingenuous in my opinion, but I must admit, you've started quite a discussion. I for one wouldn't have had to do such critical thinking on the matter if the post didn't exist.

I disagree, if we’re talking about what constitutes a ‘truer’ GTA; then, in my opinion, GTA San Andreas was a backward step compared to GTA Vice City and GTA IV beats both. Don’t get me wrong, I like GTA San Andreas for what it is but it has gameplay elements that, when looked at objectively, don’t exactly fit its namesake and its storyline starts going off the rails once you’ve left Los Santos too. GTA Vice City is in my view definitely more true to GTA, it’s rags to riches but the story and gameplay is still consistent throughout. GTA IV, with its grittier atmosphere, gameplay and storyline, is even more truer to the GTA formula.

I’m gonna have to respectfully disagree with the OP as well. As Billy Russo said, IV and EFLC have to be the truest GTA games to date. III and VC are close contenders IMO. I also love how just about nobody takes LCS, VCS, and CTW into consideration, lol. I also like SA better than V as well as the GTA’s that I don’t consider part of the series, ESPECIALLY Online!

Last few days were great.

Why do business battles exist? I love going through all the trouble of collecting supplies, only to find that my f*cking delivery mission doesn’t allow me to DELIVER THE GOD DAMNED PRODUCT. IN A GAME ABOUT BEING A f*ckING DELIVERY BOY, ROCKSTAR CAN’T GET THE f*ckING DELIVERY PART RIGHT. I don’t know what Mk.II pilots you’ve been fighting, but the ones I fight don’t stop moving and always fire from a distance. Auto-aim is disabled on broomsticks for some ungodly reason, and free-aim is pretty hard when your screen turns into an earthquake simulator from 20 missiles worth of explosions.

I'd stick to 3.3.11 for the time being as it is the most recent version. Not sure if it is as stable as 3.3.2 though given the amount of patches introduced as of 3.3.9. ------------- A new video showing the BlackLine ST street racer. This will be one of the last custom vehicles which were made before the focus shifted to reported vehicle bugs. There is another video coming up next week about the Bullworth Stallion though.

Was lucky enough to be in a lobby today where it got down to just 5 of us for a while and you can see just how alive the map can be when it's not flooded with players. Hideouts spawning, animals everywhere, escort missions popping up, camp defends, etc. I'd play every day if this was the experience I would get every time.

The world would be a hard place to live without memes.

I think the next Legendary Bounty should be Cripps. Wanted Dead or Alive for continual theft of camping equipment. Actually catching him is gonna be a bitch though

These should actually be in game this time.

More 80s movie cars? https://www.gtainside.com/en/sanandreas/cars/138879-gta-vc-imponte-deluxo/

Found this on Gtamen's Discord server.

RDR2 package on Steam updated today, so possibly a preorder tomorrow? https://steamdb.info/app/1174180/subs/ If not, then after the Stadia launch.

Yeah, Michigan looks like a sponge it has so many lakes. I also think Detroit's architecture while smaller and fewer, is way more unique. There are a dozen plus iconic buildings and they have such originality and character. The skyline is an underappreciated aspect of a GTA game. Plus I mean come on, Grand Theft AUTO... the MOTOR City? It could be the excuse to add obscure classic American cars as well as imports.

^^ IMO one of the biggest drawbacks to GTA Online's map is that it relegates and limits water craft to the outskirts of the map--where 99% of game play doesn't happen. A naval update (if one ever arrives) will suffer greatly because of this.

Wow, voted too early. My mistake.

Yes! Annoying broomstick Go back to Harry Potter You will not be missed

HA! No.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the intellectual creature known as a Session Griefer or K/D Farmer. A Rank 70 account with a Terrorbyte and Oppressor MK II... Hmmmm. That's not mysterious at all. And he goes around killing random people?? *Gasp*... What a surprise. I felt vigilant, and jumped in a FL Ruiner 2000, whilst also going Off the Radar with Lester and Ghost Organization. I'm not someone who spawnkills anyone, so I let him be for a couple minutes until I saw him fistf*ck other players with his MK II. This managed to go on four times, until he learned to stay off that Harry Potter wannabe-Broomstick. He then turned to namecalling. Aah yes. Let the hate flow through you, my dear. This isn't new. A scare-message, really. This means he managed to report me three times within 20 minutes. Someone must've helped him, lol. Edit: This kinda of makes it sound like I killed others, but I can assure you that I didn't. The only people I wish to be on the receiving end of a R2K Missile are session griefers. He did have a friend or two with him when going on his killing spree, but I believe they went AFK. Okay, so here's a fun one. Once he finds out that I'm not messaging him back on GTA, he turns to PlayStation, threatening to boot me offline. Ooohohoh, he's abso-f*cking-lutely welcome to do that. Fun Fact: The police in charge of criminal felony DDoS attacks also brings mail to your door and via email. Edit2: And even if he could "smack me offline", he would be in real, REAL deep sh*t. I (legally) played online on my college internet, which +50 other people use to get their work done with the help of a remote computer. If he DDoS'ed a shole school's internet access... Ooh man, he would be facing serious felony charges. He didn't boot me offline. Reason? He didn't have my IP. He could've gotten it if I replied in-game, but for that reason, I didn't. Empty threats, I love it. You know what I love more? Instant f*cking Justice, that's what. I reported the message to PlayStation Community Staff. I was still in the same lobby with the dude, just to see what would happen. Lo and behold, 10 minutes later... And literally 5 seconds later, I receive this wonderful message from Playstation Safety. I've had the pleasure of talking to a Danish PlayStation Community Manager - super chill guy. They don't f*ck around with DDoS threats. Jelly, if you ever read this... Enjoy your punishment - you brought this on yourself, you immature avocado. Consider yourself lucky that you only deal with a week's PSN suspension and not a felony charge. Should help teaching you that your actions have consequences in real life, too.
