So I've been playing the original GTA on Steam...

...and all I can think is where the **** did all of the fun disappear to in the later games?? it makes you realise that with GTA3-4 all of the fun has disappeared and the series has become more of a life of crime simulation.

Evolution> not always a good thing.

Saints Row = GTA fun in a 3D engine. The last fun GTA for me was Vice City but I didn't really like III that much.

Bring back London I say!

Jae-So · 20 Jan 2012 at 18:01

I think the 3D ones are better, just opinion really

Tombo · 20 Jan 2012 at 18:06

Saints row goes too far into silly.

ace-rimmer · 20 Jan 2012 at 18:11

all GTA needs is a save system and ill gladly play it again

Tombo · 20 Jan 2012 at 18:16

It has a save system?

ace-rimmer · 20 Jan 2012 at 18:19

only when u complete each map and the maps take a while to do

You can save after any mission or any time when not in a mission on any island.

My bad.

i did think you were talking bout 3

QlimaxUK · 20 Jan 2012 at 18:42

Best one for me was GTA:SA, GTA 4 was a flop, the missions/story were great it was just that game engine that let it down! and also they took out the hydra! WHY?! and i also didn't like the constant phone calls from 'friends/dates' and the 'thumbs down' if you refuse

WatchTower · 20 Jan 2012 at 19:16

I enjoyed Saints Row The Third because it was stupid. Lol

Aeleys · 20 Jan 2012 at 19:17

i still enjoy the top-down GTA's but there not as fun as they used to be.

the engine let it down :confused:

how? first attempt on next gen consoles, was good if im honest - just look at the pattern Rockstar normally follows. gta 3 was good, then vice city just took the biscuit with how awesome it was and then we was treated to san andreas which is pretty much the fan favorite for the time being.

then just repeat same process on the nex gen of consoles we will get in the next few years with everyone posting how GTA 7 is not as good as GTA 6 :rolleyes:

the LC map in GTA:IV is too small for planes, for what Rockstar wanted to do anyway. you will get planes in V (including a similar jet to the hydra)

you could put your phone on silent = fixed.

Exactly, saying Saints Row is bad because it is silly and over the top is like saying Sonic is rubbish because it has a hedgehog. Saints Row is meant to be silly an over the top.

I also think GTA IV with maxed out graphics on the PC looks damn amazing.

No1newts · 20 Jan 2012 at 19:42

GTA San Andreas was the perfect game for me.

The one after that was garbage and I have lost interest in the series now

Witcher1979 · 20 Jan 2012 at 19:44

Yeah I actually enjoy the DLC better then the main GTA IV game to be fair.
