Jeansowaty Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Surely enough there has to be some stuff GTA1 has done better than V. It surely did some stuff better than other GTA's. Just because it was the first doesn't mean it was the worst -Dark, minimalistic story -Memorable characters (Bubby, Uncle Fu, El Burro, Sam Deever and Bro Marcus) -3 cities instead of one -Far more challenging missions -Multiple protagonist system but they don't intermingle between each other -Epic homemade soundtrack Let the comments flood!

god speed Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Yay! -More freedom. No "Mission failed" screens for walking in the wrong direction. -Realistic health system, no regeneration. -No huge weapon inventory, each weapon serves a purpose. -No special character powers. -Pedestrians don't freak out when you stand next to them.

OT: -GTA1's protagonists have the special power of farting and burping. -Memorable ped screams and other sound effects.

TheSantader25 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Unlike GTA V, it's actually top down. GTA V is the first in the series to abandon the Top down camera view. Disgraceful.

Algonquin Assassin Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I might aswell chip in. -GTA 1's theme song is more memorable and recognisable. No it really is. Even if it's been years sine I last played GTA 1 its theme is still stuck In my head whereas I struggle to remember GTA V's. (The following are just for sh*ts and giggles) - GTA 1 has not one, not two, but THREE cities yet GTA V only has one. -GTA 1 doesn't require a story. You just run around the city answering random payphones to get missions and it still makes more sense than GTA V's fragmented and all over the place "story". -GTA 1 has expansion packs and GTA V doesn't. thegtaman., iiCriminnaaL, Max.pain and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kailomonkey Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) True mission freedom. If you failed you failed no retrying just lost the multiplier and had to work harder to reach the money goal. San Andreas was still a city based on SF not a state focusing on LA. Named after the Californian fault line that causes the earthquakes SF is known for. Navigation was part of the difficulty curve no easy mode pause map or radar. Reality of the 90s you need a paper map! Mobile phone is huge and texts don't exist yet. Lucky to even have a pager. Telephone booths are still normal. Can mod the game with notepad and no other tools whatsoever. The mission ini anyway. And R*/DMA gave away notes on how the code worked. Can name your protagonist. Original music. 3 major cities far apart from each other. Edited March 8, 2021 by kailomonkey Jeansowaty and ThermalSmoke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkel2001 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 1. It wasn't a humongous soul-crushing disappointment compared to the previous entry because it was the first ever entry!!! 2. It has a good old 90's big box PC release which I own (Director's Cut version specifically). 3. It has this song: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
