Thread 11961787

They just don't have the same magic. I tried really hard to like both of these games but something is totally off about them. The ambulance doesn't even come when people die, just small details like that ruin it.

Also the attempts at humor are so forced and cringe. Its obvious they are trying to be as funny as the mainline games but it seems its not written by the same people and it comes off so fucking forced and cringe worthy.

>Also the attempts at humor are so forced and cringe
This is every GTA joke in every game they've ever made.

>The ambulance doesn't even come when people die
Yes it does, it just doesn't always come. I'm of the opinion the stories games are better gameplay wise, the driving and shooting has an improved ease of use without dumbing down the difficulty.

>>11961793
Wrong. VC and SA are genuinely hilarious with really well done albeit super over the top satire. Just everything from the ads to the billboards to the store names is "Dumb humor made by smart people". The PSP games are just "Dumb humor made by dumb people who think they are being smart"

>>11961806
Really? I need to try to get it to happen then. I feel like them not coming every time removes the soul though. Did they always come only in 3 and VC and not the SA engine?

>>11961809
There's no difference.

>>11961806
Oh and I forgot to mention, I totally disagree about the driving part. The cars feel like slow pieces of shit compared to 3 and VC. It makes sense for SA because I guess they wanted their big world to feel bigger by making the cars slower and weightier, but it just sucks in the PSP games. I want my fast arcadey handling and speed.

>>11961817
Then you genuinely might be too stupid to notice or your sense of humor is really gay. You probably hate the Simpsons.

>>11961812
I think the ambulance logic has something to do with how brutally the person was killed and how accessable the person is from a road when they're on the ground.

VC stories is better than the original. One of the better post-GTA VC games.

>>11961819
The fast cars feel fast and the slow cars feel slow no matter what version, when it comes to handling and handbraking I'd say it's all preferential and a matter of getting familiar, such is the case with all cars.

>>11961839
I disagree, especially in 3. Even the slow cars in 3 feel fast as fuck compared to Stories. In stories they feel like molasses.

>>11961847
I never observed that, maybe it's a matter of screen resolution and camera positioning. I always liked javing my camera in the far back position so I could see driving lines better. I'll have to do some experimentation.

>>11961860
You know the stunt jump next to the subway track? You can use a shitty basic Kuruma to hop over and complete it. In Stories you need a suped up sports car or a bike. In general the physics in 3 are all much more chaotic with a lot faster driving and more random rolling, which makes the game more fun and silly

Vice City Slop sucks
>cuckold love story between Vic and that married trailer trash
>Lance is annoying unlikable piece of shit
>their mother is a whore
>that Latinx army guy is an obnoxious faggot (worst villain in the series)
>that gay cuban gang leader with the moustach is more faggy flamboyant than he was in VC
>literally tranny freak character and you can't kill him
>the mission were worse
>the assets minigame or whatever was trash
>no strip club
>the radio music was worse

>>11961787 (OP)
they weren't made by R* proper, is why. they were made by R* Leeds, who otherwise were only ever an "additional manpower" studio who didn't develop anything of their own.

III is the best GTA
Vice City is a better III

>>11961793
This. GTA has the most forced low IQ "satire" I've ever heard. It's like satire aimed at people with down syndrome.

>>11961787 (OP)

They're not. The person to blame for this is a man by the name of David Bland. Both games' stories are absolutely disjointed, LCS significantly worse in that regard. Still enjoyable enough games.

VCS really interested me and I wanted to play it, but it just felt so much more stiff than any of the other games.

>>11961806
That's because they have backported improvements from later console games. LCS runs on modified Vice City engine, and VCS has gang wars, swimming and better melee from San Andreas.

>>11962924
Why would I lie?

the virtual internet in GTA IV is a surprisingly good representation of the late 2000s internet, the humor captures the quirkiness well

It's the same shit as complaining about Silent Hill Origins. They're handheld games made specifically for the PSP. Just because they were ported later doesn't make them a full fledged GTA game. That's why you should always play games on the system they're designed for. For a handheld hame they're fucking awesome. For a PS2 game they are shit.

>>11961787 (OP)
Ironic, because i have played GTA3, GTA vice city, GTA san andreas and GTAliberty city stories, and GTA liberty stories is the one that i liked the most.

>>11963535
Origins looks great on the PS2 and plays no differently than the other Team Silent games.

>>11961787 (OP)
I hate how their missions are scripted. So for example, If I steal a helicopter In a "Calm Before the Storm" then I just can't do helicopter things, because mission will be automatically ruined and player will be respawned, If I fly too far. I guess It was an another sign of R* linear mission design change, which was culminated In GTA5 and especially RDR2.

Great game otherwise though.

So all of your criticisms are that you are an insecure faggot who can't handle goofy ass characters. Nice.

>>11965576
>plays no differently than the other Team Silent games.
This is just an outright lie, I enjoyed Origins but it feels entirely different to the original 4 games. Now how much of that is due to it being made for a handheld is debatable but it is different.

I would argue that LCS is much closer to GTA3 than VCS is to VC.
LBS even beign a prequel was able to expend upon GTA3 with better controls and bikes even though it sacrificed some of the gritty atmosphere GTA3 had. The protag is a huge cunt but that is his charm, I also always loved Salvatore Leone and having a game with him as the center point was a great choice.

Vic Vance in the other hand was a wet fart of a character and it is heavily carried by the supporting cast. I would much rather have played as Lance Vance or Umberto(the Colombian played by Danny trejo). The main villains are also fucking shit.

>>11961787 (OP)
they play better, look better, have worse stories, worse music, but still have a lot of SOVL

>>11961793
>"I know you blind man, but you gotta see this!"

>>11968304
>worse music,

i disagree with that part.

>worse music
The Pop stations in VCS are are on par with VC, if not better due to having fewer one-hit-wonder 80's meme songs.

>>11962683
It's legit insane how much praise their writing gets.

Carry on

>>11962683
Zoomer culture is so many needless levels deep in irony that tongue in cheek humor not being written like tryhard Shakespeare angers and befuddles them

VCS was alright. San Andreas light. The story was kinda too grounded and morose for GTA but I guess they did the same shit in 4.

Oh, these games were the reason I thought PSP was kosher on /vr/ but it's because they had extremely late PS2 ports

>>11962157
VCS has the best radio stations of the whole series. V-Rock is actually great in it instead of being pure garbage like in the other games.

>>11967356
You actually believe vic was screwing that trailer trash in front of her husband? Now that's funny.
