GTA Thread, why is the first so good? Were the mission packs for one as good too? Grand Theft Auto 1, 1969, 1961, and 2, are all abandonware, so go play 'em if you haven't.

Does GTA1 play as well as 2?

GTA 2 has been one of my lifeling favorites but GTA 1 has always seemed like a turn off to me.
>Those nasty graphics

Is saving done similarly?

>> No.4695986

>>4695934
GTA1 is some sort of casual filter in GTA terms.
There's no saving, graphics are not fancy, it's fucking hard. On the other hand, it's fun, cars and maps are good, story is somewhat fun.

The biggest thing going for 2 as opposed to 1 is that you can really sink your teeth into the world.

By being able to save basically anytime you can realistically 100% the game. Gta 1 always felt more like an arcade game to me. Plus, the handling and camera are absolute dogshit.

Gta 2 is an improvement in every way. It's also way more aesthetically pleasing and has a lot of style.

Well to be honest, those listed "features" can be both a curse and a blessing.
If the aiming had been better like in GTA2, but punishing like 1, it would be a good balance.
If the missinons were repeatable like in GTA2, but difficult and punishing like in 1, it would be a good balance.
