Why was San Andreas remembered as a ghetto/thug simulator? The majority of the story takes place outside of Los Santos and you spend more time with James Woods in SF/LV than you do in Grove Street.

>>712454927 (OP)
I don't remember the game having tranny flags. Troons weren't even a thing back then.

>>712455041
It doesn't. Those are just normal fag flags you can find in San Fierro.

i think a lot of people who played the game growing up just used it as a sandbox and never got out of los santos, hence the forgetting of fierro/venturas

>>712455041
Trans people are very much a 2020s meme, thank you for sharing the truth brother.

First impressions and last memories matter a lot when remembering something. Both of which were nigga simulators in GTA:SA

>>712455442
if those flags were somewhere it was not that spot because i'd fucking remember

>>712456697
This. Most people played it as kids and got filtered by some of the story missions

I'm surprised people don't like the San Fierro parts of the game. It's very tranquil. I think CJ even comments on how comfy San Fierro is.

>>712457134
Go play the game again retard, I replayed my original copy of SA on PS2 just last year and I remember those flags.

>>712457134
>Admitting to being this dumb
Chuds everyone

>>712454927 (OP)
You play a thug that turns every place he visits into a ghetto.

>>712455442
I had forgotten about those hate symbols being in the game. Are they removed in the remake?

>>712458350
No, they are now Tranny "Progress" flags instead of just fag rainbow flags and they can be found on every streetlamp and signpost in all 3 cities as well as the countryside.

>>712454927 (OP)
The ghetto life follows CJ around San Andreas.
At the beginning CJ comes back to San Andreas because Ballas killed Brian
Kills Ryder in San Fierro
Sweet is in prison
In the end he goes back to Los Santos, confront Sweet about the gang life, conquer territories and kill Big Smoke.

>>712454927 (OP)
No one plays past LS. That's why every upload of End of the Line has so many views on youtubes.

>>712456697
Yep. It's still too difficult for me, I don't bother with games without checkpoints

>>712454927 (OP)
>>712455041
I thought OP was shitposting but wow
The flags have always been there

>>712459978
It really is rent free for some people

>>712459978
Do you feel silly now?

>>712459978
San Francisco was fag central back then and even before IDK why you'd think it strange that the city based on it would have fag flags.

>>712460065
>>712460562
>>712460703
My God stop samefagging I was just saying I was surprised it was in the original too that's all.
God damn you have no life. Someone doesn't immediately respond and you want to act like it's a personal attack

>>712459978
Rainbow flags used to be peace flags

>>712461063
its obviously the fag flag man. its not san francisco. which before become a post apocalyptic wasteland was the gay capital of the us

>>712460862
Only the last 2 are me and I only posted the second one because I had meant to include it in the previous post but got distracted and posted too soon

People remember the beginning and end since it's coherent. 90s style ghetto stuff in LA. Some of the lead devs themselves have come out and said they botched the middle part of the story and especially the two other cities. They essentially admitted they went too far in scope so the game ended up very uneven.

>>712455041
>>712457134
They were always there. In fact, the lights are pink at night. In the editor, I’d stick them in walls and use them as club porch lights or over the doorway of a sex shop.

>>712457554
San Fierro’s city design was actually lackluster and had a lot less props than Los Santos. It was very copy and paste with little color variation. I feel as if they built San Fierro last. There aren’t many points of interest. Not even a mall. I mean, there IS one but you’d have to use your imagination.

t. Modding the hell out of the map with MTA editor.

>>712463346
I liked the Motown vibe they gave older parts of Los Santos. You can tell by the carpet designs in some interiors. Jefferson Motel was a perfect example of that sleazy early 70’s vibe. Same with the barber shop with Morgan Freeman.

>>712454927 (OP)
Because of this.

>>712454927 (OP)
I think a decent chunk of people didn't really go past Los Santos, either that or that section of the game just left the biggest impression.

because however great it is, it is extremely front loaded. all the real great stuff is in the first dozen missions. stealing a jumpjet is cool but getting drive-thru with the homies is memorable

>>712463053
Why is this allowed?

>>712455041
I know you're baiting but when I was in 8th grade in like 2006 I had a classmate who was transgender, and before that people knew enough about trannies to joke about them at school. Here's your (You), though.

>>712459978
>man who doesn't play games is surprised to discover content within said games actually exists and wasn't made up by his culture war companions

>>712454927 (OP)
Cause there were gangs wars

>>712457554
Short a bit empty and gay RC missions. I like the city though.
I mean, Vice City sucks ass but somehow San Fierro is bad.

>>712460703
When the game came out this wasn’t woke it was just making fun of SF

>>712455041
Those are fag flags not troon flags you dumbass

>>712456697
yep. i just wanted to fight cops and use cheat codes

why does she use puppets

>>712459978
Back when they weren't hate symbols. I didn't even know what they were as a kid (maybe because I'm Swedish, probably was well known in USA at the time).

>>712454927 (OP)
honestly most of the SOVL of the game is in the first city and the rural areas just outside of it.

>>712455041
San Fierro is based on San Francisco where there has been a big fag community for a long time now

>>712454927 (OP)
Los Santos was the most iconic part.
Also most memes are from there and I bet most normies didn't get too far in the game

>>712457554
I liked it a lot. Amphibious Assault and the Da Nang Thang are some of my favourite missions

>>712454927 (OP)
the majority of people who played this game were casual shitters who didn't play the story missions and never made it out of los santos

>>712471727
>2006 I had a classmate who was transgender,
Damn, he's probably dead now.

REPOSTAN

Last one. This was a serious hype builder back in the day.

i sure love how a thread about a game location quickly devolved into third world brownniggers complaining about "wokeness"

>>712483693
>I used le 4chan word do I fit in yet?
No one's buying it, man. And I do mean man.

>>712454927 (OP)
Where is the Groove homies in the liminal pool pic?

>>712454927 (OP)
To be honest I didn't care for that part of the game. I get that maybe they were trying to make the game huge and thus diversity was needed, both for environments and missions, but I never cared for SA's story beyond the gangsta shit in the early game. That's where the best missions, dialogue and characters are.
The only exception to this was the crazy hispanic bitch from GTA3 which was one of the best parts of the game.

>>712484808
san fierro probably has the most detestable qualities out of all of the 3 cities
>introduces fog
>lots of hills
>lowest visibility meaning you'll crash a lot more here
>some heavier cars literally almost can't make it up the hills while the road is wet
>forced driving school
>collectibles are invisible unless scoped in
>has an airport you're not even allowed to access yet
>forced swimming lessons
>immediately followed by a scripted event that takes away all of your weapons
but despite all of that i don't hate it

>>712455041
Mind broken.

>>712454927 (OP)
It's honestly disappointing how quickly they shuffle you out of Los Santos. It was a mid game, I prefer 3.

so did the guy from lcs kill CJ or was that a meme

>>712477719
what even is this supposed to be
was this a look in 90s car culture im retarded amd dont drive

Oh cool! A thread about one of my favorite childhood games!
>literal first post derails the thread into a conversation about trannies instead of game discussion
This board is beyond fucking repair. The jannies seriously need to start banning these fuckers for derailing discussion.

>>712455041
The game actually does have a troon npc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzShNcKTwyE

>>712457554
zero missions ruin it

>>712496750
none of zero's missions are required to advance the story

>>712454927 (OP)
Most people never played long enough to know that.

>>712457554
>carl I'm blind not stupid
>yo woozie I know you blind but you GOT to see this
Not sure who I liked more, Woozie or Toreno. Cesar says he likes it there and wants to move there with Kendall.

>>712497785
That's strue for every game, tbqh

>>712498368
I always thought it was kinda funny how CJ can buy a house at the end of Cesar's hood. Like he's keeping an eye on him kek

>>712454927 (OP)
My go-to racist mexican impression is just copying Cesar's voice

K-Jah West has become my favorite station recently. Reggae fits Los Santos so well. I need to take my time and absorb Venturas especially. See if it had its own vibe too.

>>712496914
>don't do any of his missions
>he is in the background during the casino heist anyway
bothers my autism

>>712454927 (OP)
The map being so varied is what made SA so good.
>>712455041
There's a fag quarter in a low part of San Fierro, near the stoner shop.

>>712498368
Who the fuck is Kendall.
You mean Kendl

>>712468305
Big Smoke's order is more memorable than anything outside LS

>>712492150
We still had that shit in the 2010s, it's a spoof of those gayass brand stickers and rally liveries on riced Euro and gook cars, I kind of miss the spray can painted shitboxes plastered in stickers, it's the car equivalent of those flip phones with the stickers that light up and a dozen ornaments hanging from em.

am i being filtered? i downloaded the game for pc and man the "spam w to cycle and spacebar to run" is fucking awful, yet i have no problems spamming x in ps2
im playing on a laptop

>>712482810
I genuinely miss game magazines, I hate that I started collecting them right as they were stopping being made

>>712507110
I've got no idea because I've only played on a ps2 in recent years, but knowing older pc games it's probably an issue tied with the framerate being too high

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La la la la la la...

>>712507110
the default workout controls on PC being the loudest binds they could possibly be caused my mom to accuse me of nerdraging at the computer again one time

even though i was known to do that i excused it by saying i was "just working out" and can only imagine the look of disappointment she had at that moment

>>712493934
Not gonna happen especially when the admin highly encourages it.

man i really wanna replay san andreas, is the remaster worth it?

>>712510675
no
