Which one was most impressive at the time of their release?

>> No.7996937

3.

This is objectively true considering you would have not gotten VC or SA without it.

>> No.7996942

>>7996932
3. San Andreas is still a close second, though.

Would 3 have been half as impressive if Mafia 1 beat it to the punch with its release like originally planned?

SA
The only one that aged well

3 and SA. Not retro but 4 might have had the most hype of them all

Who knows because the open world in Mafia seemed like a minigame version of GTA. But they still did have vehicle/tire damage before GTA added it in VC.

>> No.7996987

3, but it's also the one that's aged the worst.

>> No.7997007

>>7996962
Yeah I think 4 did. I feel like 2006-2008 had so many hyped games, like GTA 4 and Brawl. Neither one delivered for me though. I like 4 now, but I didn’t like it as a kid for some reason.

I played a few minutes of SA and quit. Couldn't enjoy playing as a jigaboo in da hood.

Same. Exact same reason I don't like 5 I don't want to play as a dirty nigger.

GTA IV came out in 2008. The oldest that guy could have been when it was released, and still be 18 now, is 5 years old. Face it, faggot, you're getting old.

GTA III and it's not even close. It can't be understated how much of a revolution that game was.

3 and Vice are great games, and 3 in particular was a revelation when it came out, but San Andreas was mind-blowing upon release.

3. it was the first

VC was the most atmosphereic and had the most seamless interoirs (you can see the outside world from interoirs, you cna also enter some buildings without being teleported to a closed box)

SA was the biggest

>> No.7998269

San Andreas. 3 was definitely innovative, but SA had so many things to do, way more vehicle variety, a story that was longer than 3 and VC combined and a world that was fucking massive, all fitting on a single DVD and playing on the weakest hardware of its era? It's SA easy.

>> No.7998473

3, that shit blew my fucking mind.

>> No.7998484

Vice City, the atmosphere, the colours, the soundtrack. You also had planes, helicopters, boats and golf. It was what GTA3 should have been.

>> No.7998491

>>7996932
At the time of release... imo its 3.

>> No.7998531

Had it come first the answer would have been SA, but seriously 3 was completely insane for its time.

>> No.7998539

>>7996932
3 was revolutionary. A complete landmark of a game
