What is the best way to play San Andreas?

>>720444047 (OP)
PC with mod that restores PS2 visual effects, works a lot better than emulation

ps2 on a shitty crt

ps2 on a good crt

ps5 on a 4K oled tv

ps1 on upgraded hardware

>>720444047 (OP)
pc with mods

>>720444047 (OP)
21 years ago when it was still good

>>720444084
also silent patch
keep it 4:3

PS2 on a PS3 emulator sideloaded onto a jailbroken PS4

original version on PC with the whole stack of brazilian mods
it's legitimately insane what the brazilian obsession with GTA:SA has done to the game.
there's a texture pack whose artist is manually going through textures and matching everything 1:1 just in higher resolution. remaking all of the art by hand. and some other project is adding new high resolution models to things with the same mentality

I dont go full autist with it, i just emulate the ps2 version and be done with it.

Don't expect Timmies to ever comprehend the thirdie mod scene

>unlock gang wars
>lose them literally three missions later
>unlock it again right at the very end of the game where you have to start again from scratch
The FUCK were they thinking?

>>720444502
Brazilians are low key obssessed with modding and game preservation. Everytime I'm checking modding or people remaking/redoing stuff it's either east europeans, russians or brazilians.

>>720444502
>>720445058
it's fucking crazy how many mods for ancient ps2 games there are made by mexicans/brazilians

>>720444047 (OP)
I go PCSX2 with whatever patches to modernize it + HD hud. Runs like the PC version would and I don't risk getting a virus.

>>720446332
>he thinks he will get virus from modding pc games

Definitive edition, don't let the haters fool you saar

>>720446497
I was talking about torrenting the game genius.

>>720445121
Why would you want to do gang war at all? Especially when one of the main mission (hijacking jet) permanently corrupt your save so the gang territory gets fucked.
Silent patch doesn't fix it btw

>>720446332
>downloads emulators and roms off the internet
>somehow thinks it's safer than installing a repack
Lmao

>>720447585
>assumes I download roms instead of backing them up from a disc
How many more retards do I have to respond to? Do you guys actually vote and drive? If so we gotta change that.

>>720447576
Wtf are you talking about?
Gang wars (2nd time) are essential to unlock the last mission, if everyone would get a corrupted save people wouldn't have been able to complete the game
First time hearing about this btw

>>720446842
>>720447846
What retard gets a virus from pirating San Andreas.
I find it hilarious that you're going out of your way to download emulators and various programs to rip off the iso to play the game on PC but you're still so paranoid about PC gaming

>>720448883
It's not a game breaking bug but essentially it becomes impossible to rule 100% of the territory because flying outside the map mess up the gang territory border.
If you're unlucky, the gang territory may have the size of a single pixel so triggering a gang war is impossible. Granted gang war doesn't contribute to 100% the game so it's pointless i guess.

>>720449574
I'm not paranoid. I prefer to play the PS2 version because I already have the roms and It's just easier for me to set up an emulator to play a game I like. The lower risk of me getting a virus was the cherry on top. I don't understand why you are having a melty over someone's personal choice. Nigger get a life or kill yourself (preferably the latter).

>>720444271
HIRE

>>720450326
You are the one that brought up the lower risk as a prime motive you smooth brain, and since you're a smooth brain you also fail to understand why that risk is not actually lower, you just decided that it is for yourself.
Think about the Project64 fiasco, think about all the mentally deviated people who make the patches and mods you're downloading. There's no such thing as "safe" user generated content, you just learn what to trust and not to trust by experience, not by choosing one specific category.

>You are the one that brought up the lower risk as a prime motive you smooth brain
I never explicitly said it was my main reason. I was also going to add more reasons in another reply but then you decided to get angry over my preferred way of playing the game. Only on /v/ could some faggot have a meltdown over your own personal preference. It makes sense why game devs hate you guys now. I would too if I was a game dev. Now here's a job application

why isnt the name of the version in the bottom left corner for each screenshot and the gtaforums watermark in the right for each screenshot

I've been trying to play san andreas on a ps2 and I have a noticeable input lag. Is that normal for the console?

>>720444047 (OP)
I use https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1956640711

Refer to this page for the differences between versions of the game so you can set your settings to your liking: http://gta.rockstarvision.com/skygfx/skygfx.html

I personally prefer the 2x Radiosity Passes, since the PS2 was how I originally experienced the game.

>>720445121
and both times you need a certain amount of hoods (most of them) before you're allowed to progress

>>720456230
Might have something to do with your TV actually, I remember in 2011 noticing my friend's Battlefield 3 copy having input lag while mine didn't. I can't tell you more unfortunately since it happened 14 years ago (good God)

>>720449626
>>720447576
Not him, but that's a fairly rare glitch. I've played through SA several times and I've never run into it naturally. Also
>the gang territory may have the size of a single pixel so triggering a gang war is impossible
Not exactly, the game doesn't change any of the territories, it just fucks up the gang ownership statuses so any of the gray territories on this map can become gang territories.

>>720459496
I got it once when I tried to fly to Liberty City (I thought you could just fly out a long way and find it)

Oh no anon, don't mention that you played the game on PS2 instead of a heckin PC. Someone here is gonna have a melty over your personal choices.

PC with mixmods mixset
Install reshade, spank gamma to about 2.5, increase exposure a little, set saturation so you are at about 70-80% of srgb

>>720456230
>Is that normal for the console?
It is for the PS2 because that thing chugged dick even without the 20+ years worth of hardware degradation. If you flew fast enough you could suicide yourself right into an invisible tree. That was a big problem for the AI being the primary reason why you see rustlers and dodos doing their own rendition of 9/11 in the commercial district of LS. Just up from the beach as they're flying in through the barely rendered treeline over from Red County.

By listening to the haters, you are depriving yourself of the most sublime GTASA experience in existence.

>>720461981
I read the whole thing. I just wanted to let that anon know that expressing your own opinion isn't allowed here that's all.

>>720465174
Did they fix all the AI generated mistakes?

In 2004

>>720465174

stay mad nigger

>>720457847
why were the color filters so different between platforms?

>>720464532
Damn

>no analogue acceleration in ANY version of the game past the ps2 release
Anybody else think this is depressing? I fucking hate the binary state of either standing still or going full throttle. on PS2 you could actually use the pressure sensitive button to control the speed you drove at

>>720465174
>Definitive Edition
you mean the visualized mobile version ported to pc where minigames are brain dead easy and you get free checkpoints everywhere? you didnt beat the game

>>720444502
I need to see it, link that

Fat CJ is canon

I think with a little bit of gamma tweaking I can make the right look 95% of the left.

>>720470023
Rockstar had to change and rebuild parts of their engine to display things for each console, and it wasn't done to a specific standard. The PC/Xbox being grouped together isn't an accident. Also, the PS2 version was released first, with the PC/Xbox version coming out almost a year later. Rockstar's delayed release schedule for PC isn't as new as people think, though was more "justified" back then.

>>720444047 (OP)
Why does your filename say ps2 vs pc vs mod but your image says pc vs ps2 vs mod?

Anons where is your favourite location in san andreas?

>>720491181
I like the area behind Las Venturas airport, it feels nice and close to all the important stuff as a central location, while still managing to avoid the craziness the rest of the map is embroiled in the main story and is just a chill place

>>720487954
>focusing in good games and giving support to them instead of buying whatever new goyslop is in the triple A market right now
Fucking based

>>720491181
I have a soft spot for Palamino Creek, because I used to have it as my go-to spot for bankrobbing when playing cops & robbers modes in SAMP in the late 2000s to early 2010s, it was just enough out of the way for cop players in from Los Santos for me to get my money and hit the gas on the getaway before they arrived

>>720444047 (OP)
ps2 so you can use save states, tried modding the pc version and I lost 3 hours of progress because of a random crash.

>>720460607
where Master Sounds 98.3 THOUGH?

>>720487954
anon... i'm brazilian. you're about 20 years out of date.
it's literally just autism. there's a like, 20-person community of modders who are just terminally autistic about gtasa specifically. no one else cares
most people just play AAAslop on ps5 or pc

As a nigger on release day with all your fellow hoodlums smoking weed and hollering

>>720444047 (OP)
There's a fitgirl repack for all of the PS2 games with mods preinstalled so it runs without issues on modern systems with a modern controller. Played all the games from start to finish without a problem, easiest and best way to play them today.
