What is your favourite / least favourite GTA?

[Alien74 5]

Discuss your best and worst GTA according to the story line.

My favorite is GTA San andreas and GTA V (I wish the story line was longer) but GTA SA is my childhood game, can't possibly let it go.

[B Dawg 8,743]

San Andreas

[Grantestos 666]

VC, SA and Grand Theft Auto 2

Best immersion , story , open world game and my childhood

[Shadowfennekin 12,493]

That's easy. V.

Only one character is a nuisance, Franklin.

The story was a million times better than IV.

 

Best of all...... No Niko bitching or complaining

[Tikhung 1,124]

Grand Theft Auto

[Osho 7,147]

GTA 2 is when all started for me followed by VC, and SA.

[GrindoLindo 103]

probably will be flamed.

 

I like IV the best.

 

played them all. (except V & stories because i'm on pc)

 

to rate them;

 

IV

VC

SA

III

GTA

2

London

 

i loved messing about with choppers in VC and doing crazy jumps in III. SA was classic because it was so big and had lots to explore. 2 was fun but an odd game. london was funny.

My personal ranking:

SA > VC > IV = V (this one's gonna cause some hullabaloo among some people) > VCS = III > LCS = CTW > GTA 2 > GTA 1 > GTA London games > Advance

VCS > VC = IV

[MrDeSanta 1,619]

My best GTA overall is V, the NG V that is but i could argue with the aspects.

V- the best visuals, map, cars, aircrafts, modifications, gameplay and diverse missions. Oh and Michael of course, No. GTA protagonist to me

IV- the best story, Niko and gunsounds

EFLC- the best crime activities- Gang and drug wars was the best crime activity outside the missions any GTA had so far

 

I would count SA and VCS as the best 3D era games to me but that was back then untill HD era came out so i`ll pass

[Stoney0503 6,152]

GTA Vice city

second is GTA V and third is GTA2

[JeffersonCJ 44]

1. GTA San Andreas

2. GTA V

3. GTA IV

4. GTA Vice City

5. GTA III

[American Viking 1,561]

GTA IV by far.

[The Deadite 25,908]

My list

1-IV

2-Vice City

3-V

[lossantoslocal 2]

I've never noticed GTA for it's story, but to me GTAV and Vice City are tied as my favorites. I felt GTAV brought back the fun to the franchise. Storywise, GTAIII for the silent protagonist.

[Flesh-n-Bone 599]

San Andreas by a landslide for me.

[Misunderstood 1,568]

GTA IV>GTA SA>GTA VCS

[ChengizVlad09 230]

My dearest of them all GTA: III

 

The one I think is the best GTA: SA which is closely followed by GTA: VC, practically they share No.1 position,

 

Second place IV and V. The same as above. IV is closer to my heart, but imo V is slightly better. (Niko my (possible) countryman! )

 

Third place VCS and LCS. VCS slightly ahead of LCS.

GTA IV and VC. Tommy's rise to power is far more satisfying than CJ''s IMO. At the end of VC I felt like I was king of the world. Sure it took elements from Scarface, but it was still a great story to me.

 

GTA IV's story probably doesn't need much explaining, but I will anyway. From start to finish I identify with Niko's struggles every step of the way. Even if it goes off track it shows how nasty and screwed up Liberty City's underbelly is and what people go through on a daily basis. No matter how many times I complete it the story still draws me in every single time.

 

Even if we weren't judging them on story alone GTA IV and VC would still top my list. They just have so much heart and soul.

[PhillBellic 24,252]

I don't think many of you need any hints regarding my ultimate favourite.

 

 

Hint: it's GTA IV.

 

[Son of Zeus 2,814]

SA > Everything else.

[Jeansowaty 3,938]

IV by a longshot. Worst is LCS.

Edited October 7, 2016 by Jeansowaty

[tranceking26 1,118]

Vice City

[helpplease 159]

Is this best story or best game?

If best story probably VCS

Worst story by far is Ballad Of Gay Tony.

 

My favorite is VC.

I thought GTA 4's story was weak, especially compared to Lost and the Damned. The latter seemed to have every mission significant in some way, whereas four felt - and you admitted this yourself- a LOT of filler and "if it payz".

Fair enough. I like the sub plots in GTA IV personally.

[Pavle 16,413]

[Nico 3,337]

I don't wanna sound like an annoying prick but, how many times we saw this thread?

 

I'm in the MVC way, VC and IV at the top followed by SA and the rest. Still haven't played V but I guess it won't change a lot my preferences from what I can see.

[Kiffster 2,171]

Well, now that I've finally played it, I'll say V is definitely the best, followed by IV, SA, VC and VCS

Nope, that doesn`t count! You can`t just have played a game for a week or so and make up your mind that it`s the best. Give it some more time and you`ll notice all the ills that plague GTA Onli...I mean GTA V, like the lack of non-linear content for one.

 

The best GTA is SA. Then VC, IV, VCS, THEN V, III, LC Stories, then 2, then 1.
