I am not going to do Zero's missions, they are bugged in the PS2.

 

Have fun w/ San Andreas!

There's no bug. The Fuel is a 'Time Limiter', and bad flying is penalized harshly.

I just started a new SA playthrough as well. The nostalgia that I'm feeling is just amazing. I'm finally taking the chance to fully experience the game. Last time I did a playthrough, I was younger and didn't understand the missions fully.

Yo if you got the extra cash go get a nexus 7... 200 buks on sale at most places (often) 220 without sale... Get the Moble Android version and connect your PS3 controller in. They added shaders, increased draw distance... my cars got SHINE yo shine! looks sick on the HD screen the Nexus 7 has... Plus, you can take that sh*t anywhere... I have been playing more San Andreas than V lately...

Wish I could afford it. Unfortunately, I can't. From what I've heard, the Nexus 7 version of SA is pretty awesome. The gameplay looks great. Edited by GoldenBlade

EDIT: << merged 'new' topic into existing topic >>

 

Considering I was only 11-12 when I played san andreas and much of the stuff included weren't found me/the missions weren't really understandable, I am gonna play this piece of awesomeness game again on my pc.

 

Can't wait to fly around with the hydra.

 

Eh it wasn't the missions I was so overly fond of in this game, it's good but I like VC story better, it's the sandbox experience that kept me playing SA all these years

 

but yeah it does take a long time to unlock everything that's in the game, you can still cheat to get some of them like jetpack, tank, hydra ect. but its nice to unlock them instead, you feel a great feel of accomplishment when you unlock everything

 

I remember getting SA for christmas in 2004 when I was 14 and trying to figure out how to sleep with the hookers, took em back to CJ's house as I recall, thinking I had to get out my car and go in the house rofl To think it'll be 10 years this year since I played San Andreas for the very first time! I think an SA party will be in order later this year :D

 

Who remembers the good ole top down days? Use to love running over those orange jump suit guys

Top down was where it started... I remember my buddy showing me GTA for the first time on his computer. We would just get cops chasing us and run over people trying to get as far as we can... way too young to have been playing that game but the graphics were so bad my parents nor my friend's parents really minded...

 

I played the hell out of China town because it bought me back to these times..... China town was actually really dope i remember too... funny and witty... might have to pick that up again...

GTA VC and GTA SA are the only two games ( in the series ) I'm most addicted to since release. During the release, I used to literally throw all my free time on playing. As soon as school ends, I would rush home so that I can continue from where I left. I totally lost interest in all other stuff, be it studies, food or even playing outside with friends. I was just too damn in love with this game, but soon I was facing way too many irregularities affecting my studies, I had to put an end from playing for almost upto 2012 .. lol.

 

Since then, I started to play again for a taste of video gaming you won't enjoy it more than GTA SA. I think that's what makes me keep coming back, big or small, boring or fun, or just anything worth for some good old fun alone, the interest has always been there to try it one more time. I carried away by the enjoyment and crazy silly fun of venturing out with CJ on a dynamic open world; things are not limited and you got an upper hand on the ability to freely choose whatever sh*t you like to do. There's a ton to do!!

 

I never got bored of playing the storyline whenever I begin afresh to choose my ways of taking CJ to the top, make new encounters while I complete every mission and also side stuff that I'm interested to either try or simply skip it.

Seriously, the way GTA SA gives a map you want to go deep into, what order you take it, and how much you want to repeat; any fan of non-linear open world won't be let down a bit.

Of course, there are boring sections too, but almost every game ends up being one afterwards anyways.

But, when it comes to GTA SA ( incl GTA VC ), the idea of complete fun with simplicity and general enjoyment easily made it the greatest game for me.

Had this game received few more polished and patching/fixing, It would become more easy than to trouble myself going through few annoying aspects of this game.

In the end, its one of the best game, I loved playing it and still manage to enjoy it without getting bored :^:

You guys are going to make me cry. These are all such beautiful stories.

 

What I love most is that back in GTA, Rockstar had already laid down the foundations of their cities. After Vice City was out and before any announcement for a new game was ever made, EVERYBODY started assuming that San Andreas was next, going by the cities featured in the first GTA game.

Everybody wanted it.

Everybody needed it.

And then, Rockstar delivered with their best game yet, and we had already gave them our hearts. This time, we gave them our souls.

You're right.

Old games like Final Fantasy VI or Tomb Raider rock.

You play them like 30 hours and you're still not finished.

New games are too quick and no good gameplay at all.

 

Like i said, GTA IV AND HIGHER [email protected]^"(0),$3^:

OM6 SA AND VC ARE [email protected]@!!!

Oh man.....those times. When I heard these words: 'Grove Street- home. Atleast it was before I f*cked everything up'. I can't describe my feelings at that time. How me and my friends used to gather around the screen, pushing each other, trying to get a better look. How we used to divide tasks for missions- one would shoot, one would drive. How we used to search for hours to find Bigfoot. Testing all those myths. Doing crazy things.

 

Those good ol' days......

I don't think it loads slow...... maybe its just that your PC has many applications running.... and that causes a lag.
