Why is it that I can recall specific places in GTA SA much more easily than I can with GTA IV or GTA V?
I mean, I can pinpoint exact places in GTA SA, and I played it a really long time ago. I remember the Grove, the motel where you fight SWAT, Woozie's casino, etc. I could probably even put them on the map.
With GTA V or IV I never even began to memorize the maps. I could never find Michael's or Franklin's home without the giant marker on the minimap.
Other urls found in this thread:
the map isnt really that big, but was varied so that it felt a lot bigger than it was.
as for not having any sense of direction, that just means you're a bit of a retard.
two reasons.
>the maps are way bigger than san andreas
>you are relying on the gps, you arent actually paying attention to where you are going, you are just paying attention to the gps
Smaller map with less filler for the main areas

There was alot more shit to do in SA. Than there was in GTAIV/V. That how we remember. It may have been a smaller map. But there was a fuck ton more shit to too. Gang Wars for Street Turf n shit. In GTA IV shit got cut. Then GTAV is basically GTAO for any content.
SA has soul. The other two, not so much
GTA V had a fuck ton more to do in singleplayer than IV though
The story of SA uses the map for every single mission. IV just nails the frustration of driving to/from work on NYC. V on the other hand, the locations are action set pieces.
inb4 some Vice City faggot comes and calls SA soulless
>Vice City
souless
Na only iv and v
I'd say that gta iv's suburbs and streets are just too similar so you can't really begin to recognize patterns.
GTA SA encouraged free play more, instead of roping you to the missions.
And iv still had some. V felt more like afever dream of the Truth
this place always had a comfy yellow/orange glow to it making it feel like a nice summer evening
You were younger, so you spent more time in the game and you were less jaded. Less detail, so easier to remember. Maps were smaller and more sparse.
I'm not making a quality judgment on any of the games.
3D era city layout was overly simplistic
the real reason is because you didnt know the bounds of games and thought that just maybe there might be something cool in all the hard to reach places without knowing that there is absolutely nothing amazing or interesting in 99% of all games
This. And sometimes when you play game which you love, you really engulf yourself to the surroundings etc but as with most new games, they are not that loveable any more.
You almost certainly played it more.
>just got into GTAO
>/gtag/ doesn't exist no more
Because you were younger when you played San Andreas.
And most of them were pointless.
do i reinstall? been a year since my last playthrough
>San Andres
>Felt like I was an adult when I was a kid
Didn't really go around driving over people but did enjoy going back.
Back to those sweet simple times. Where all you had to do to have an awesome day was DSL and AOL messanger.
TAKE ME BACK!!!
Rockstar I swear to god if one of your employees ever sees this just want to let you know. While unsure of the profits having a lack of data, I do know if you were ever capable of this, you're taking all my money. Or at least 50 because lets not go to far.
>I'll take two (number nines)
>you arent actually paying attention to where you are going, you are just paying attention to the gps
That's ... a surprisingly interesting consideration.
How many people spent shameful amounts of time, driving around trying to get the plaid skirt hooker to spawn?
I don't recall whether it was Vice City or San Andreas but there was a cheat where whores would get guns and follow you around.
I remember I got one of those to lean out the door of a car while shooting at someone and I angled the camera to peek underneath her skirt.
Thing is my older brother was behind me, playing on the other computer, and I was like 10 at the time.
>his face when
Gtag bullied a retard into publicly humiliating himself on his youtube channel, good fucking riddance to that tranny circlejerk.
I think 3, VC, and SA all have that cheat.
pretty funny
link?
So much this. Exploration made sense
Really?
I mean I just wanted some easy friends to play heists with. Randoms are FUCKING retards and I cannot stand playing with them.
just stop playing now
the game is complete trash and a fucking grind
they just want you to buy sharkcards
This is a just highlight but they were trolling this guy for a year. The aussie PS4 /gtag/ bullied the fuck out of him.
nostalgia
I love games with progression though.
I just bought a bunker.
Jesus.
The internet should really not be available for everyone.
This is why GPS and waypoints are fucking garbage, they take away from memorable level design.
Would that mean that Hub-map based games would work better at being remember than open world shit?
Yes. I could probably draw a map of all of Dark Souls, except the place with the everlasting dragon because I never went there
>1
okayish, but not impressive. Created out of a literal bug in a racing game.
>2
my personal favourite. Respect is everything.
>3
one of the most important video games ever created. Love it to death.
>VC
most soulful for lack of a better term. The OST, the cast, the colors, period, and environment were spot on.
I remember my parents gleeming woth joy when they heard me play with Flash FM on.
>SA
best video game in the series, hands down.
>LCS & VCS
personally I enjoyed them because I was a lore autist. Severely underrated. If only they were on PC.
>IV
kino. The day 'Things Will Be Different' trailer dropped, the whole world stopped for a moment, quite literally. Their website crashed for many people because of an overload. Loved it.
>CW
Very underrated. I enjoyed the minigames, and being able to deal drugs for the first time in the series. It's a modern love letter to the classic titles.
>V

IMO 4 might not have the best gameplay but it had the best story.
It was really good.
GPS didn't exist. At the most you had the red dot thing.
Crazy how a red cross dot thing can mane you feel euphoric
god i remember this, he did deserve it and it was pretty funny, but they spent way too much time on this retard and once the entire ordeal was over they pretty much have nothing to post besides shitty tranny characters and ugly cars
Yes. Having recognisable landmarks for navigation and centralized hub layouts are literally 2 of the 9 rules of good level design
GTA Series is the GOAT YouTube channel. Been watching the GTA 3 missions a lot.
>progression
this is not progression
this is extortion
The real fucking answer is because we have way better brain plasticity when we are younger
Now that we are older our brains are fucking garbage.
you can make lots of money by selling cars though, or doing heists if your friends are not mentally challenged or if you have friends
Honestly IV was the worst in the series. SA was the best. SA > VC > V > III > IV.
Debate me. You know I'm right.
dont try to defend how shitty the grind is in gtao
everybody agrees its shit
those that dont buy sharkcards and deserve to die
That's why there's FiveM
gtao is dead and the only reason to play it is if you mod or know modders.
what are the other 7?
because you were playing them when you were younger with a better memory and having fun experiencing a game like that for the first time
retards like you but born 10 years later will be on here talking about how gta5 was so much better than gta6 because they grew up with it in a few years time
fivem is also shit
hd era cities are closer to the real ones so there's a lot of redundancy in places, in SA they're more essential
This, smaller maps mean more keypoints in a smaller area and less filler. V had miles of useless buildings. SA had some useless woods and buildings too but not nearly as much. With so much filler, you're just speeding through and following the GPS waiting to get to the destination.
I dont even like SA though, I think its overrated. First couple hours were fun.
