That was the only real improvement. It was gta though! Online play doesn't matter!
Also red dead was boring as f*ck. Couldn't finish the game

WATTT!!!!1111 Online play matters to me, especially when I can get in police chases with my friends in the car with me online, so tight.

Also, the original was clearly the best.
Eight-year olds, Dude.

Did you guys actually read any of the websites? That stuff was hilarious. The TV shows? Hilarious. Pißwasser? Hilarious.
I'm sure 5 will be just as good. I like that they're returning to San Andreas, or at least Los Santos and the surrounding area. That should be fun. And if they make it to where you can fly planes again, it will be damn near just as good as SA, in my opinion.
I do miss being able to customize your character, but whatevs, I play RPG's too, so I get my fix for that kind of gameplay elsewhere.
As for the retarded online gameplay and the adherents of that, I completely agree, you guys are ruining single-player gameplay. Developers are wasting time and money developing that crap instead of focusing on the single-player game, like they should be.

Fair enough. The driving was more realistic, which was a bit less fun. The setting, well, I guess that's just a preference thing. I mean, don't get me wrong, I loved the setting for SA, but I also loved the setting for 4. I like that they made it more like New York City in 4.
Either way, they're both great games. SA still is king, though. There's nothing like flying that military jet around shooting missiles at random cars, then going as high as you possibly can and parachuting out into Las Venturas to go bet $500,000 on a single roulette spin.
And yeah, the soundtrack for SA was the best. I don't think they'll ever beat that.
Anyway, looking forward to 5. I'm sure it will be good. Hopefully they go back to Vice City in the next one. It would be cool to revisit that setting with it being updated the way the other settings have been/ are being done.CBlake wrote:Lol you guys are dumb, I open the box and beat the shit out of the story mode, then I play free roam (Which you do alone) with my friends, I can see how I am ruining the game
It's not that you personally are ruining the single-player game.
It's the fact that there are players out there that prefer and want multi-player aspects, which forces developers to devote time that could otherwise be spent making the single-player experience even better. It's a waste of developer time and money that could be much better used.
Take GTA:IV for example. Many people have a problem with some aspects of the single player game. Now imagine that there was no multi-player and all the time and money spent developing that was instead put into the single-player game. I would imagine that it would be twice as good as it is now. More features, more story, possibly more DLC, etc. Instead that manpower was put into the multi-player experience.
I guess I don't get the drive for multi-player. Since when was gaming all about multi-player? If you want to do stuff with friends, go do stuff with friends. If you want to play a video game, then sit in your room and play a video game. Why do those two activities have to be combined?
Personally I value my alone time spent playing video games. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, but often times I want to escape from other people. That's what video games are great for. Anyway...enough about that.
