GTA San Andreas is the best open world game ever made

It was a chore to beat.

Too dark as in like disturbing/depressing or as in color palette or something?

It’s not even the best game 3D GTA.
The only positives it has over III and VC are player controls and amount of side content(mainly just collectibles and mini games). Otherwise 100%ing is a chore, the story is a slog to play through, the A.I is awful, especially when driving or when they must follow you, the rpg elements like stats are just there for bloat(you can unlock unlimited sprint so stamina is useless) and the game is somehow uglier than both its predecessors.
Don’t get me wrong, SA is a good game but the amount of dick sucking it gets is unwarranted. I’m almost sure it’s 99% nostalgia. Go back and play it, not just for an hour, from start to finish or even 100% it. I have recently and compared to III and VC, SA just becomes an unfun chore that you wish would end after you complete Toreno’s missions.
As for best open world game, I would vote for Daggerfall

GTA3 had an amazing atmosphere that none of them since have been able to replicate.

the lightning and atmosphere, vice city was comfy as fuck because of the weather

I miss the dumb spooky videos made about the myths and legends. Those are still active at times but you'll only mostly find ones made by Latinos making fucking Ayuwoki in San Andreas videos

playing it right now

what is this
[/spoiler]don't tell me this is just fanart reeeeeeeee[/spoiler]

and utter balls for gameplay

you don't have to follow the train, just jump on top of the train and enjoy the ride.

I can't decide which is the best version, PC or PS4. PC with the steam controller is quite nice for driving but annoying in a few instances. Also better graphics.

If Rockstar ever do an updated graphics remaster, I'm preordering that shit and I've never preordered a game in my life

>it was my first GTA SO IT IS THE BEST
lol

Vice City atmosphere is the best. I still laugh at how much political incorretness there is in these games. Making fun of trannies, gays and all sorts of other shit that wouldn't fly today.
Maybe that's why they don't want to do a remake. Most of the kids today couldn't take the jokes

why is this schizo talking to herself?

It's a shame they never did much with the beach. It was such a big area and got very little use. I can't remember a single mission that happened at the beach.

My first GTA was the actual first one, and San Andreas is by some margin (still) the best of the lot.
So there. Nyah nyah, etc.

>playing the shitty standard PC version
you are depriving yourself of serious aesthetic

What mod?

>gtaforums.com/topic/749193-san-andreas-ps2-features-to-pc/
this mod carries over the missing color pallete and weather effects of the PS2 version

Sure ;)

How does the car spawning system work?

Nah
Game's too linear
Once you've done the missions in one place you have no reason to go back

That’s a part of the first island, where your safehouse is. That image looks like it has a graphics mod, though

It's decent. SA is just like every other rockstar game, huge dead and lifeless world with only about 1/4th of it actually being used well.

based informed user, everytime i see people playing SA, VC or III without silent patch, skygfx and widescreen fix i cringe

Found it on google. Must be fanart.

what do you mean? in or out of missions? in the missions it's just a script, even normal cars on the street are scripted on some missions. outside of the missions, the cars can spawn both inside and outside the camera's view but when outside of view, the spawn distance is shorter.
also fun fact, the car AI in III, VC and SA doesn't obey gravity until CJ touches the car. you can exploit that by carefully putting one of the wheels of the monster truck on top of a random car (has to have a ped inside) then getting out of the monster and getting inside the car, if done correctly, you just fall through the map because of all the accumulated gravity the monster truck wheel caused. it's pretty based, i still don't know how it really works.

my first gta was gta2 when gta 3 was released. but i had only ps one. to this day i like gta sa most. dont forget sa:mp

Cowboy Bebop is the best anime ever, you can't prove me wrong

>car AI
only the AI?

I fucking HATE Freefall

modded PC version blows any other version out of the water

>that overdone bloom effect
it looks like shit, vanilla lighting is the cleanest and most realistic looking

>mass effect 1 nostalgia nigger is the GTA3 nostalgia nigger
Who would've thought. Old game good, new game bad even when old game worse

I recall someone informed me that cars in SA spawn based off what you are driving. So if you drive car A, more of car A will spawn. Therefore once you get a rare spawning car and being driving, more of that rare car will spawn.
