Name ONE bad thing about gta sa
>inb4 "you play as a nigger" with dumb pepe reaction image
The pacing sucks. The Los Santos and San Fierro portions (especially that one) feel like they go on forever with too many gimmicky missions. Unlocking the whole map takes too long.
Cant upgrade police cars
The gunplay was incredibly brain dead
you play as a nigger
THE PLANE MISSIONS.
They would have been fine as side content, but not part of the main story. Even GTA5 with its problems did this better.
Too many half-assed distractions, like Gyms that you only need to go to a few times then never again, burglaries that you'd only do for one mission then you'll never need to again etc
niggers
The PC port was garbage.
It's shit
The gun sounds were laughably bad, I still don't know what happened because it's a complete downgrade from 3 and VC.
The car and weapon controls are really wonky compared to PC games like Mafia
The missions are terrible. I feel like everyone just likes the memes but forgets actually playing through them really sucks. There’s less than like 10 good missions in the whole game.
Gun sound effects
it's unfair to compare regular games to masterpieces like mafia
the difficulty of plane levels is overstated. the final mission is way harder
its not vice city
He said a bad thing, not a good thing. Not everyone is a retarded zoomer nostalgic over a shitty pastiche of "le vaporwave" version of the 80s that they never even actually experience.
you have to be 18+ to post here buddy
Still better than a tryhard pastiche of le hood gangsta culture
this
probably the least satisfying gun noises in any game ever created
Soulless boring setting compared to 3 and Vice City.
Too much Sims bullshit.
Fuck San Andreas, it killed GTA. Vice City was the best.
>PC port is shit, needs mods
>PC version lost music tracks, needs to be modded in
>PS3 port is the mobileshit version
why do it be like this?
The PC port is ass
The combat isn't that great. Sure, it plays better than 3 and VC, but now all you have to do is to crouch behind a car or a chest high wall
Some of the missions are either frustrating or boring to play.
The OST isn't that great. Yes, I said it.
Still a 9.5/10 game.
At least you can swim
Onl contrarians still llike 3, it was good for its time but it's extremely dated now
Most of the story missions are absolute dogshit but are mandatory to unlock the full map.
Steam version is shit, you need to play the pirated version
Although the map was big it was really empty with not a lot of shit to do
The cars handle terribly and start burning after a few hits
>the map was big it was really empty with not a lot of shit to do
OP was talking about San Andreas not V
at least there are cities on the other side of that nothing. The top half of GTAV IS empty as fuck
At least they still give you an option to play the activities further if you want to. Unlike in V where they introduce a minigame mechanic in one mission and never reuse it again anywhere else.
The map is small and condensed, there's always something unique to see
You've posted this before and you're wrong.
VC has better weapon variety, Sounds, Trails, And muzzle flash.
Car handling is worse than 4. Feels like turning is too sensitive and it spins out easily.
It's not like SA is any less dated. Technically 3/VA/SA are basically same, San Andreas is just bigger.
The polygon count increased each game actually.
SA doesn't have awful draw distance and disappearing cars
LOL yes it does.
I love 3 and it's still my favorite GTA. I'm aware that it's very dated tho.
the fucking RC Plane bullshit being mandatory to advance the plot
The endgame. Capturing territories is boring as fuck.
Zero's missions? if so they don't count.
rc plane mission, made me hate david cross
You weren't able to date sage.
The graphics were bad even when it was new.
Doesn't really bother me, but you asked for something.
ahh...to be a balloon...floating in the air
The specific hooker you want to pick up, doesn't seem to spawn when you're looking for her.
Git gud
the unlock requirement for the final mission
One time, in the pre-patched version of the game, I stole a police car that hydrolytics. I never found it that way again.
If you found this mission fun you're just a contrarian retard

Pleb, It's easy even on keyboard, Did you struggle with Demolition Man in VC too?
Graphics wise, Rockstar's games in the PS2 era weren't really looked that good. Their best looking game was what, Bully? And that game didn't looked that impressive. Of course, all of that was changed after GTA IV.
Honestly i just hate San Fierro. The design is boring, the missions are boring
Never said I found it fun, just said to git gud.
IV was always considered to be ugly, Old games have style since they look somewhat cartoony, V wasn't that great either for 2013, Still holds up though.
Honestly I prefer the gun sounds from SA over GTA 5. They had more impact.
Bully had a good dingy ambiance in the original version, and especially on the Wii, but the texture sizes were painfully small and blurry.
The later PC port was like a bad texture pack, which was higher res but generic looking in a way that wrecks the mood.
Pibble me this user, what accounts for as little as 6% but also two thirds?
Anybody have a fix for the PC versions to run at more than 25fps without the physic breaking bullshit? I've been searching for this for 10 fucking years. I mean I've beaten the game numerous times on PS2 and PC, but I'd like to replay with a decent fix. VC and 3 ran fine at well over 30 fps.
You are wrong
I haven't played 5 but I refuse to believe guns sound worse in that game. In SA the machine pistols sound like popcorn and the handguns sound crusty as shit. I actually thought something was wrong with my copy when I first got the game.
You guys only pretend to hate black people right? As like an ironic joke or something? Because CJ is easily the best GTA main character.
yeah what the fuck is up with the gun sounds. They were so cool in III and VC
>IV was always considered to be ugly
I heavily disagree. The power of IV is the enormous details on almost every level. Whether it's on the urban environments or the vehicles, they're extremely detailed especially for an open world game on that era, and the major reason of why the game still holds up today. Though, the character models aren't that great and there are parts of environments (like the water or every patches of lands) looks basic today. The colors wasn't really a problem too. It fits the autumn tone and if you do want colors, there's TBoGT for that.
If it looks ugly, I think it's because NY itself is a shithole.
>V wasn't that great either for 2013
It was pretty decent for a PS3/360 game but then the next gen came out and it looks great, especially on PC
Didn't the PC version runs on Gamebryo?
Silentpatch lets you play on 30 fps
More compression because more sounds in cache at any one time than in previous games
>Didn't the PC version runs on Gamebryo
Maybe. Something that is apparently a pain in the ass to make mods for.
Is the 360 port any good? I own it but haven't touched it in ages
It's very hard to go back to ps2 era physics engines when you are used to euphoria. The driving model still holds up though.
Gunplay is also pretty bad compared to newer gtas.
>"Unlocking the whole map takes too long."
>not going to the locked areas and doing whatever the fuck you want while telling the perpetual 4-star wanted level to go fuck itself
The entire San Fierro portion of the game should have been a post-game bonus. If the game was just Los Santos > Las Venturas > Los Santos then the pacing would have been much better.
4 was artistically ugly, and i liked that
the fucking stealth.
that's about it tho
How the fuck is it soulless compared to fucking gta3? 3's only merit today is being the first 3d GTA, otherwise it's by far the most boring, less polished, less everything game in the series.
>i'm shit at this mission, so anyone that found it fun must be a contrarian retard. yeah, that's it.
Here to post this
Trying on clothes requires watching the animation of CJ walking in and out of the changing room, every time, for every article of clothing. How they didn't fix this in any port or remaster boggles my mind.
Eh, VC is my favourite GTA by far, but in terms of weapons, really for each slot you pretty much end up just using one slot because that's the best weapon for that slot.So there variety is actually pretty reduced.
You can't ride train as a passenger and you can't ride trams on SF. That's fucking bullshit.
The highways were very dangerous
You're crazy or you were not born at the time, GTA IV was one of THE games to show the then next gen power. Something like euphoria in an open world game was unheard of at the time (hell, even today it's more unique than rare)
name one RC plane mission that's mandatory for the main plot
turf wars
The loop was a fun place to stand on a car roof and take pot shots at passerby.
Wut. You can ride trains
Tommy is a thousand times more interesting with better dialogue and better voice acting. It's not that he's black, it's that he's a fucking nigger. The only people who like SA are uneducated urbanite retards who think being a "baddass nigga" is cool and not peak degeneracy.
The game becomes boring once you leave the first city. That was the best part of the game and the only one people have remembered.
>urbanite retards
I live in rural Ireland lol
the soundtrack was trash
oh god, buying it all is the fucking worst chore of all.
>as a passenger
You can only drive it
If normies struggle with it and I say its easy and fun, ill get big brain points
it's part of the immersive shopping experience
Nigga just press the enter button near the passenger car lol
Google silent patch
Unpatched zero mission with the Rc plane and fuel limit
Controls are a little clunky
Yes/No responses to passersby could be louder
Clothing-change load times and animations are a little too long
Weather effects are a little weak
Certain stretched textures just show the world was rushed, the entire game could use more polish
Needing a girlfriend to play co-op is annoying
Not enough Toreno.
>it's true
What do you mean, that the past 15 years of my life has been a giant lie?
ragdoll physics, or the lack thereof
I think they patched those in the later releases and PC version to make them easier. In the first release you always ran out of fuel. Either that or I just never noticed because I'm one of those people that donked with the game files and made all the vehicles faster.
you have to be at a train stop though, you can't just jump in anywhere
>ctrl+f "All we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ!''
i'm disappoint
sorry, this isn't reddit where people spam stale memes for karma
Driving is a mayor annoyance due to the ai drivers doing instant 90 degree turns without blinking, especially bad on roads with multiple lanes
my dad modded the cd copy he had and made the water level just one foot higher and ended up breaking the tutorial missions due to it. We had a laugh.
Now that you know you can, why would you want to anyhow?
i wouldn't know - never have been there, unlike you who seems to know all the details about its culture.
Not enough country missions.
I got bummed out by the amount of cut content, many of which just disappeared off the face of the earth. At least some of them can be found buried in the disc.
I like to ride trains
don't try to act smug after you were begging to see an overused and not funny meme so you could clap your hands like a trained seal
Not having a "try again" button after failing missions
>In SA the machine pistols sound like popcor
Mate have you ever played V before? Gun sound and feeling is complete trash compared to anything else in the series.
>driving car
>car suddenly exits this realm and goes back to his planet
main character is a hood rat
you need to go back where you came from, you dumbfuck red baitposter
Wasn't Vice City Stories the first to incorporate that via the Wayback Taxi?
i've already played it 12 times so i know all the missions by heart at this point :/
after all these years, the AI shows its age. how come the Families gang members are only good for meat shields? And how come the cops are the only ones who can somewhat shoot? Ive seen two gangs shoot at each other and it took like 20 shots before one person got hit... from almost point blanc.

its better than gta 4 and 5 in that regard, in post story activities
if you're on PC, turn the frame limiter on for this one. rockstar cant into anything over 30 fps so the engine fucks itself, and the timer goes way faster than it should.
just stop, underage dickwad
I laughed when you can get your homies with M4s and stog weapons and still miss a ton. At least if one bullet connects they're dead.
>REEEEE STOP POSTING THINGS I DON'T LIKE
keep seething, retard
It's not on switch
its still bad in 4 but you dont get extra HP so its still something of a challenge. 5 got it right. people who complain about robocop aim are just plebs
based underage retard
You can ride as a passenger...
no you cant
buy yourself a rope
seething
No quick mission restarts. If a mission takes you halfway across the map and you fail, you have to drive all the way back to where you started the mission, just to drive across the map again.
Go fuck yourself, cancerous shitposter
why? is your mom into bondage?
>>Wrong Side of the Tracks
This mission was NOT fucking difficult, it's just a god damn meme.
>PC version is bugged and the physics and car handling don't work properly if you don't set the framerate cap to 30
This was definitely BS though
Having to hold down X for gas on PS2 which is considered the least chopped up version of the game therefor the definitive version. So many broken x buttons during 6th gen.

the nigger culture of the first third was annoying. I'm not american, the first few hours were kind of amusing but after a while I just wanted everyone to die.

the PC port had botched graphics and a broken framelimiter that took years to get properly fixed.

SA is way less dated. Try playing all 3 of them now and you will see
Man..I fucking lovved lowriders..
Try reading the entire post next time.
this is legit a huge problem
yes you can moron
Handling and physics isn't like GTA IV
fuck you cocksucker
You turned off the frame limiter, didn't you?
I don't find it fun but it's fucking easy
Might be the best GTA for sandbox, but this is the worst GTA for replay value in my opinion. Something about going through the story just feels a lot more drawn out and a slog.
>Not enough content In Las Venturas, the best city
Agreed. Honestly, they should have not even had San Fierro and developed Venturas more. Maybe make interiors for more casinos and stuff.
>a gangbanger is more degenerate than a coke dealing mafia hitman
Back in the day III was the one who had issues on PC, SA and especially VC were all cool, i also did manage to play the game at max settings with no problem at all.
>OST
I strongly disagree, it's matter of taste i guess, i think it was pretty cool although it could have been better, i mean, a lot of stuff from that time is missing like rhcp, but as for VC you could "fake it" by using your own mp3s, at least in the pc version.
youtube.com
Am i the only one who likes San Fierro?
Overall i enjoy all the fucking map honestly.
>GTA SA soulless boring
baka
not for me
>peak degeneracy
It's GTA you're talking about, you know that right?
Overall i think it was pretty fucking kino, imo GTA never felt so alive up till then.
> live in the best possible conditions
> idealize the worst possible conditions instead of appreciating what you have
I'm starting to see what happened to Europe
Half of those got cut from the game.
and that's a good thing
the gang mechanic at the beginning is stupid, once you get not much further in the story it goes away entirely
In Los Santos you were fighting regain your gang's territory and respect. In Las Venturas you were accumulating personal wealth. I felt very little personal stake in the missions in San Fierro, which is fine because it's a GTA game, but the missions were also comparatively dull and long.
>shitty pastiche of "le vaporwave" version of the 80s
Bitch I just like scarface, Hawaiian shirts, and cocaine.
that pic is a fanmade upscaling of the original weapon icons, so the ones for unused weapons are original

It doesn’t have the physics of IV
it was hard the first time, by the time i did my second run, it became easy, git gud
Driver 2 was better.
One bad thing about GTA San Andreas is how Rockstar has not managed to create a perfect port across numerous years and console generations, as well as a shitty, hacked together PC release.
Another bad thing about GTA San Andreas is that car collisions are fucked up in every port and revision. The only way to get the damage on the correct parts of crashing vehicles is a mod for the PC version.
a ghetto thug manages to infiltrate a military base and steal a $60 million dollar project, after that infiltrates another military base and steals a jet
also, horseshoes don't do shit
this mission is very easy with pc controls. of course, it's dumb with all those conditions like fuel and and the need to bring that shitty plane back to zero's place,
the final mission is ez because you can just do the firetruck missions to become fireproof and run through with a minigun.
the plane missions actually take a measure of skill, as do the vehicle schools.
no source port that fixes the godawful pc port
>also, horseshoes don't do shit
same with tags and photos, only oysters do something useless.
i completed it on my first try
just dont waste fuel you fool
you SA kiddies have it easy with your driving school
the offroad challenges in III where a absolute bitch
yea, but tags and photos don't have any symbolic meaning, on the other hand there's literally a LUCK stat in stats that does absolutely nothing

welcome to the internet
One bad thing about GTA San Andreas is how every fucking russian and BR latched onto it because they're too poor to afford a real PC. You cunts ruined SAMP, go find a job so you can play a different game.

Niggers were the reason why this game was so fun, the only way to ruin it is to having then to behave like white people as in current media.
I missed it when I was a kid and now the control scheme is dated.
I salute your determination user, that shit still gives me ptsd.
You ever get squashed by a plane?
It's the mouse controls that's fucked for the missions involving flying, if you rebind your rudder and ailerons to wsad then the flight missions become managable and most of the flight school gets even easier than a gamepad because finetuning the orientation of your plane for efficiency's sake is what the keyboard controls are best at and 90% of the flight school is about the economy of movement.
Los Santos missions play and feel like gritty ghetto drama with all supporting characters being your gang's members and crooked cops, meanwhile everything that happens in San Fierro and Las Venturas feels like Saints Row with some of the craziest missions in GTA history, much more comedic tone and various wacky new characters, it feels like 2 different games badly stitched together though I love both of them
My thoughts exactly
shit like black project ruined it
Extremely low graphical fidelity
>Anime picture
it checks out
The game's physics are locked to framerate
that is a huge bad thing
I like San Fierro.
>name ONE bad thing about gta sa
The same issue as every other Rockstar game. Many ways to make money but not many things to spend it on.
GTA III was the worst for this
>Snail Trail
I liked the gang territory, the biggest problems was that it was too subtle and too detailed for its own good. Such as, if the enemy gang color was faded out then almost none of the random spawns would be gang members so if the territory was surrounded by Grove st. or others gangs you could be waiting hours to before you could start a turf war as you had kill gang members while inside a territory you want to capture; secondly if you died during any wave after the first the territory would revert to a more faded color feeding into the issue mentioned above; thirdly, certain territories were inexiplicably small and their placement seemed to make no sense at all.
I don't think i've ever seen somebody complain about that though
>thirdly, certain territories were inexiplicably small and their placement seemed to make no sense at all.

The default angle when you're driving isn't too great. Mods that angle it towards where you're going like VC and III fix that though.
I used to trigger those bullshit ones by causing a traffic jam and shooting the gang members that were in cars.
shoreside vale's mission was absolute AIDS
