Overrated/Underrated GTA'S

[ViceBoy69]

Overated San Andreas, i dont hate the game for the time it was amazing what Rockstar did but i dont get why so many people treat it like god, i dont understand.

GTAV graphically a good game but too much this game is god like SA, i dont get it

 

Underated Liberty City Stories and i wish it hadnt been confined to PSP and PS2 it should have found its way on to XBOX and PC. Its a good game to play with plenty of Rockstar humour.

VCS made me feel like a crime lord more than VC did. I loved the racket system, even if it was pretty basic, but still, I love the game's story and I think Vic is also an underrated protagonist as much as Martinez is an underrated villain.

Edit: These reviewer explain why IV is an overrated game, well atleast for me

 

 

 

No no this actually the worst Grand Theft Auto ever. Theme song sucked it sounded more like a gay ass porno music. Story is overrated, boring, predictable and is least likeable in the series and atmosphere was dull and uninteresting. Controls are even worse than the first Mario game. It is impossible to turn the car without tripping over. I hated the game's boring, gray atmosphere and realism sucks. Niko is a moron. And the fanboys are the worst. They call this is the best because it is realistic which is the stupidest reason ever heard. Realism doesn't make a game better. Infact it wasn't even realistic. Such a dumb game. It is the most overrated trash ever made. This game is just a complete failure.

I really hated the dull, trashy and boring outlook of Grand Theft Auto 4's Liberty city. The sky looks too grey and too dark that we can almost see nothing what is going on. It also had one of the most overrated storyline ever and Niko was so boring. Grand Theft Auto 4 fanboys are even worse. They call this is best because it so realistic and bashes games like Grand Theft Auto 5! lol! Realism is boring. We play video games for entertainment not to get bored by it. To escape the from the pressures of real life we play video games for fun. So what is the point of a realistic game? In my opinion it was one of the downgrades of Grand Theft Auto 4. I even enjoyed Grand Theft Auto 3 more than this. And Vice City was the best and kicks Grand Theft Auto 4's ass any day. Tommy Vercetti was way better and more memorable than Niko Bellic. For me, Grand Theft Auto 4 sucks and is my least favourite n the series. Again I am just expressing my opinion.

I have seen that review on a website before. BTW, i have thought about it and my overrated GTA is San Andreas. It's a cool game but the fanbase is annoying.

I'm surprised they didn't call the GTA IV fans stupid poo, poo heads because I find it hard to believe either of those posts were written by someone older than 12.

 

I have a lot of respect for people like Mr Pink and other like minded individuals who put effort into their critiques of GTA IV without coming across as whiny and would value my time to read them, but really people like this are the reason everyone stereotypes GTAO players as immature asshats. And we're the bad guys apparently? lol.

[Piggsy pls]

Overrated: GTA SA (good game, but the entire gaming community, not just GTA fans, treats this game like it's the undisputable god of all games).

 

GTA O (this whole EA/Dice and Battlefront II controversy made me realize that people are willing to give Rockstar a pass for doing sh*t that they would rage at other companies for doing. Not that EA doesn't deserve the hate mind you, but why the sudden widespread outrage at them for doing a shady business practice that Rockstar and T2 have been living off for years now?)

 

GTA VC (again good game but I don't really see anything special in it like others do).

 

Underrated: GTA LCS (I see why people may have been disappointed since it came after SA and was missing a ton of features, but for a PSP GTA I thought it was very solid).

 

GTA VCS (reintroduced some features from SA and revamped them alongside some new ones, good melee combat, Empire Building, liked the story. IMO it's way better than both VC and SA).

 

GTA CTW (f*ck it, this game is just plain fun; it's honestly one of the best games out there to just mess around the map doing odd jobs, not to mention drug dealing. And the story and characters are hilarious to me, it did a better job at being a more satirical game than V did to me).

Overrated: Vice City and that Tommy prick.

Underrated: III (bc Vice City overshadowed that game) and Chinatown Wars. Chinatown Wars reminded me why games like GTAIII was fun in the first place.

 

 

Edit: To the reviewer saying that GTAIV looks dull. It's supposed to look all gritty on purpose to match the dark theme amd environment.

Overrated: GTA Online. It is an absolute embarrasement. What was rockstar thinking turning their backs on their long-time fans with this? The amount of potential GTA V single player had if they had focused less on this with the microtransactions and sh*t is really just sad.

Underrated: All Mobile GTAs (excluding gta advance).

Overrated:

 

GTA Online: This game is like 6 years old and is still buggy, broken, complicated mess and it shows how people give a pass to R*. Besides people on this forum, I rarely hear backlash about shark cards and this microtransaction game yet people bash EA for it solely. Not saying they don't deserve but it's high time people rage at R* for doing it because it'll only get worse in RDR and VI. But seriously, this game is f*cking horrible and doesn't offer anything to the amount of fun had in IV's MP, RDR's MP and hell, even SA's modded SAMP.

 

GTA VC: Good game (Fourth favorite GTA game) but I personally feel VCS is the better of the two.

 

Underrated:

 

GTA VCS: One of the best GTA games out there. So underrated and more people need to get in on this. And f*ck R* for not releasing a mobile port for its 10 year anniversary.

Definitely. GTAO gets way to much praise from its fans. The games f*cking trash simple as that IMO. And yes it's separate game from V. R* already did that. V had so much potential regarding it's long lost SP DLC abandoned by it's own developer. A shame...a freaking damn shame

Couldn't agree more. R* can go f*ck themselves and their sh*tty online. Never knew how something can change them so badly. Even ignoring a simple 10th anniversary tribute to VCS Edited November 26, 2017 by GTA_The_Series

Overrated: GTA SA (good game, but the entire gaming community, not just GTA fans, treats this game like it's the undisputable god of all games).

 

It is a good game indeed, but it hasn't aged well at all as far as I'm concerned. I have a feeling this holier than thou notion that gets peddled is by PC players who mod the crap out of the game which makes it easier to overlook its weaknesses in core gameplay that's been done way better in newer games.

[ViceBoy69]

Ive never really been into modding the games apart from at one time i tried changing a few cars in VC and GTA3 i had the files for KITT out of knightrider and added that but otherwise my games are played as they where meant to be played.

I agree San Andreas is a good game a lot of stuff packed in there, but as you say it hasnt aged well and i think your right its the PC players who make it out to be the god of GTA but each to there own.

I don't think any of the 3D era games have aged well tbh. Mods really are what keep them alive.

[ViceBoy69]

Its not about how the game looks its more to do with gameplay most of the 3D era games still have that in spades, id rather play the game as it was intended rather than add pointless sh*t to it to make it something it never will be.

It's the gameplay (mainly controls) that hasn't aged well to me, not the graphics. I still play old games, more so than new ones actually.

I don't really have an issue with the graphics either. It's mostly things like aiming and whatnot. The 3D era GTAs have always had terrible aiming manually or automatic. Then there's the lack of physics where everyone feels like a stick figure.

 

After R* introduced Euphoria it made the 3D era feel lke sh*t to be honest.

I didn't really think it made 3D era gta's feel or look like sh*t in my perspective. Most of the 3D era gta's were all part of my childhood. When i first played IV way long ago during first release back in 08 i was really shocked how good the game looked. The physics were so good it was unbelievable. This is the part where V failed horribly. How tf can a game from 08 have better physical quality than a game from 2013?? Anyway i was pleased that R* changed and moved along with their gta's starting with IV regarding the whole ragdoll physics. They had to go with something different and change it due to at the time most video games were already becoming a big deal regarding graphics.

It was a good change from the Renderware physics the old gta's had. But i still like them nothing less. Definitely still enjoy the classic 3D era games.

Maybe feeling like sh*t was a bit harsh terminology, but when Euphoria was introduced it made going back to the 3D era difficult. I still play GTA IV on a regular basis and IMO it hasn't aged anywhere to the extent the 3D era GTAs did when they were almost 10 years old.

 

I can give graphics a pass because I'm not concerned about them, but aging core gameplay I can't.

Yeah for sure. I totally agree with you on that part. Just not too long ago i posted in the "Things you hate most in GTAIII" thread and i explained in my post that recently a couple days back i was playing III on the PS2 with a few older cousins of mine while we waited for the rest of the family to arrive "It was during Thanksgiving" and we all noticed that the controls were clunky af. On auto-aim Claude was aiming all over the place during a six-star police chase. So III has aged horribly. After we died from taking random turns, right away we popped in SA. IV still has a fresh feeling compared to most 3D gta's. And obviously V's controls are still considerd "new". Edited November 29, 2017 by GTA_The_Series
